Yesterday I was redeeming a wonderful coupon at JC Penny's and overheard a conversation between two friends regarding fun things that their families do for Mother's Day. The one tradition that stood out to me was a journal entry of things the children said in response to questions about Mommy. Like, What is Mommy's favorite thing to do?
Since DH doesn't always take a hint, I decided to ask my son what he thought of Mommy.
What is Mommy's Favorite Thing?
-Yellow Bike
What is Mommy's Favorite Thing to Do?
-Ride her yellow bike
I have a very observant 4 year old.

Monday Family Home Evening
We took the easy way out tonight. The weather was just so beautiful, and with the school right across the street, we had playtime as a family. Brent took the kite and TJ really enjoyed seeing it fly. M put her baby in the stroller and pushed her across to the park. They swung in the swings and chased daddy up and down the slides. It was a fun family realtionship building experience. And they came home tired to boot.

Big Thompson Canyon
A wonderful friend was willing to watch my kids for me yesterday and DH and I went for a bike ride. I have been dreaming about this ride for years. I used to think that the people we passed on the way from Loveland to Estes Park were absolutely out of their mind. Then I started riding, and I became jealous because they could do it. I didn't think I could. I have only been riding for 2 years now, and have been thrilled with what I have done, but climbing?? No Way!
Well, we decided to do it. It was such a fun ride, I was amazed. It took a little while to get into it, but it was fun, and challenging, but not so much so that I couldn't continue. I didn't feel drained until we got through Glen Haven and started up the steep incline, just before Estes Park. Two riders came down while we were climbing up. I think that would be the better way to go, but the view and the feeling at the top are both written on the little sign up there, "A Piece of Heaven."
