I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 5:18-19

A whole lot of nothing, yet so much fun









This past weekend all of our friends went camping and we did not get to go. We were all a little bummed about it, but we actually ended up having a wonderful weekend with just the four of us. The weather was just wonderful so we spent our whole weekend working and playing in the yard. I found the kids raking in the leaves and then throwing the leaves. At the time they didn't realize that all the leaves they raked were now everywhere once again. They had a great time so it was well worth it. I weeded my flower beds and Jeff of coarse played in the garden. We later took a walk out on the property exploring and watching the kids climb the trees. I snapped a picture or two and posted a lot of them on the side bar of my page. I know they aren't professional, but they are an expression of a wonderful family moment.
I posted a picture of the oak tree because that is the view from my front porch swing. Isn't it just beautiful? I just found myself in awe after I snapped it. It was just a moment to take in and reflect on how blessed we are to live where we live.
The last picture is of Trever playing his sister's leapster. His batteries died in his, but he knows he only is allowed so much leapster time so he couldn't give his playtime up. I noticed him nodding off and asked him if he'd like a nap. His reply was " no mommy, I am about to save Eve." He was playing Wall-E. I went back a few minutes later and this is what I found. I thought it was just too cute!
I feel so refreshed after this weekend. I wish everyday was just simply a playday with family!

Not professional? I love the new pics. I did laugh out loud at Trever falling asleep playing his game. I also love the spring pic of Abbie in the flowers...how much did you pay for that pose...a pretty penny for sure. The oak tree is just plain beautiful.

I love the photos of the kids, mommies always get the best out of their kids in pictures. I love the one of Abbie in the flowers and of Abbie and Trever in the tree! Wonderful job!

The pictures are beautiful! Our families favorite weekends are those spent just doing a whole bunch of nothing. They are more reviving than vacation. I hope you have many more in your near future!

Those pictures are crazy! They're gorgeous! Can you even believe that's your yard, your home? I remember seeing the one of Abbie in the Seco newsletter! I love the one you put for your heading! :)

Nice picures, Trever is getting so . . . big! He looks too cute in that picture of him asleep with the leapster. Playing in at home in our yard is one of my favorite pastimes!
