Oh, the stories they tell...

Lots and lots of laughter at our house Saturday night.  :)

Josh's Birthday Hike

The last time Josh and I took a hike of any size Colton was in a backpack getting the ride of his life.  This spring with both kids in school full day and Josh on a little hiatus before his summer class, we found a little grown up time.  We have been talking about a nice hike for what seems to be years...now that I think of it it probably has been years.  So in celebration of Josh's upcoming birthday and because the weather was gorgeous and because we could, we hiked St. Regis Mountain last Wednesday.  It is not a huge mountain by any means, but the 6.8 mile round trip is a bit to long for little legs (although I do believe Colton could do it now).  We saw one person all day, just a quick how-do-you-do on the way in.  It was a beautiful day and with a little deet bath not even the bugs could be worth the worry. 

My sweet little man

I just love his dimples in this picture so I thought I would share it.  He's showing off the new paper airplane design he invented.

Lennon rides again!

My baby had quite the weekend.  Friday she spent the day with Dad (no school...unused snow day) and took a little spin on Grampa Pete's "Hog"! 

Then on Sunday while the boys were working on the dock, the girls took a little spin in the tractor! 

And before I know it, she'll be begging for the car keys!!

Spring Soccer

I sat at the top of the hill last night and marveled at the swarms of kids chasing soccer balls around the field.  When I first mentioned spring soccer Lennon was very wishy-washy, "I do, I don't, I do, I don't" over and over.  I had to take matters into my own hands and sign her up anyway.  On Sunday we purchased new pink soccer shorts and socks; everything was okay now.  "When is soccer starting?"  It's amazing what at little shopping will do to a girl. 

 

The decade no one remembers!

Flashing back to the 60's!

Come out, come out, where ever you are!
