Memorial Day Monday!

May 28, 2012

I woke up this morning without an alarm, children yelling, doors banging, or any other usual sounds that get me out of bed at about 8am! That's sleeping in, and it felt great! Emma offered to make breakfast for me and anybody else who would let her. She made eggs for Kaylee, who got it in bed, and for Jacob, and toast and applesauce for me and her.

The day has just unfolded from there. Made pretzel jello salad for our neighborhood BBQ tonight, cookies and sandwiches for a picnic up the canyon with the Jardine family. That was a fun addition to our day! Thanks for calling and coming down Deanna and Joe!

We took a drive up to Sundance to check out the lift and see if we might want to do that for the Ricks Family Reunion that we get to organize this year. While we were there, we saw some of a bike race where bikers were flying down the hill. It was pretty cool to watch! I'm grateful we have no interest in that or anything like it in our family. Hopefully, we can keep it calm and simple around here, and watch everyone else be crazy. (o:

Jacob climbed up on this hill, and said, "Holy Cow! I can see the whole America up here!"

We all had to climb up and see. It is very beautiful!

I can't wait to take him on more hikes this summer, so that he can see even more of "America"!

Ricks and Jardine cousins at South Fork.

Lots of fun!
