The rain has been crazy this spring, (not the kind of crazy you're thinking of but for AZ standards it's a lot). I'm not complaining...I love it! We went on our 2nd hike and toughed it out in the rain, but had to cancel today's hike...it was just a little too wet. Instead, Kade and I are going on a date to see Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. We had another picnic scheduled for tonight, but it too will have to wait. It's so nice to get a dose of cooler weather before summer hits.
The other day just the boys and I went hiking. It was invasion of the senior citizens. Seriously, there were like 40 of them at the top. They use walking poles and go really slow and take lots of breaks. Being in the midst of that many elderly is like getting a GIANT hug from your favorite grandma. They were so dang cute...discussing fiber and such. Kade referred to them as 'cheek pinchers', he and Jax had me laughing my guts out! I love that my boys are old enough to do fun things with, I'd rather hang out with them than anyone.
Spring break has been fabulous. Having Jaxon around 24/7 has been so fun. The boys are bonding like the good old days and I am cherishing every second of it. They had their first flag football games of the season. Kade's team got creamed and he couldn't have cared less, Jaxon's team lost by one point and he was devastated. It's funny how different their personalities are and yet they get along so good.
I've been listening to The Secret a lot lately. I'm totally convinced our mind is a powerful thing. We can either choose to think positive and feel good, or think negative and slip into a funk...needless to say, I've decided to snap out of my 3 year funk!
We are very excited about our new property. For a few years we will be down sizing, then we'll build on it.
I'm anxious to move even though it's to a smaller home...sometimes less is more.
Dancing With The Stars is back, Celebrity Apprentice is back, the sun is rising earlier...life is good!
Wait...you are moving? How exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you...downsizing has been very free-ing. I had a couple of weeks where I missed our land and our big house. Now, I am enjoying having less house to clean...and getting excited about where our next home will be.
And of course...I'm excited to about your new home!
ReplyDeleteSo.. you are moving? Same area same ward?
ReplyDeletei think we've been getting some of your rain here too! what a soggy spring! but it'll make for some amazing wild flowers in a few more weeks...again, the silver lining! good luck with your move, that's exciting!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Life is what you make it..be positive & good things will come. God wants us to be content & find the good in every situation. Things could always be worse. I choose to be positive too and not let things or people steal my joy.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week. Weather sounds nice...even with the rain.
It sounds like you have a lot going on these days. The rain has been such a blessing. Can't wait to see more about your move...FUN!
