Out of Doors

We have had some really nice weather here lately!  Although... side note... I took this picture as I drove to the gym one morning last week...



Yes, that is blowing snow and snow on the ground.  Yuck!

But we have had some great weather here and there this month, so we've taken advantage of every nice day we've had and played outside.  It is so nice to sit in a lawn chair in the driveway when the sun is so warm on my shoulders and watch the boys ride bikes and play outside!  Here they took a break to enjoy some popsicles Nana bought last summer.  Still good!  :)


Emmett came out of his room after a nap the other day with no pants on and wearing these 3-D glasses.  He said hello and walked right outside to look around.  Cracked us up!


A few weekends ago we went up to a lake near our house to ride bikes and play in the water.  It was such a nice family day.  It's so beautiful up there!  Here I was trying to get us all to take a picture with Mt. McLaughlin in the background.


After we rode for a while we ate our pack lunch down by the lake.  The boys loved throwing rocks in the lake and Emmett, of course, jumped in and got soaked even though the water was super cold.  He would fall down on purpose and "swim" around and then get out and stand there shivering and shaking.  Then I'd wrap him in a towel and snuggle him for a few minutes and he would run right back in for more.  Reid also wanted to get in and we had to hold onto him tight!  Here's E getting warm and saying a lackluster, "Cheese."


Reid is obsessed with these squirty yogurts...


Phil was trying to hold the yogurt up to get Reid to look at the camera, but he only had eyes for that yogurt...


Jackson was content to just throw rocks and sticks in the lake.  He wanted no part of the cold water!  :)


A few days ago we went to a park we had never been to before...


And after three years my lilac bush finally bloomed this year!!


And a video of trampoline fun...


Yay for Spring!!
