This One Is For You!

O.K. so apparently, according to my ever so informative sister-in-law, I don't ever have any post that are comment worthy. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. So this one is for you (you know who you are)!
This past week I have been out of town on a business trip! (hehe, makes me sound important) Anyways today we had the opportunity to take a drive up a mountain. By the time we were at the top we had reached 8000 feet elevation. O.K. so you have to understand that where I live the elevation is like 140 feet. So 8000 is a big deal. Anywho, as I was driving on an extremely curvy road we pulled over at a vista point(aka picture spot). We could see the entire valley, it was truly a site to see. Then my good friend and business partner who was also in the car pointed out that you could see the road that took us all the way back to where we were staying. Now call it cheesy or whatever you prefer but I call it "my little insight into heaven". I got to thinking about how high up we were, the fact that it seemed like you could see everything, and of course our Heavenly Father.
So I suppose that what we were privileged to view on top of that mountain was a little like heaven and what our Heavenly Father all the time. The road home is sooooo clear to him from where he sits that I'm sure He just wants to reach down and give us a little push in the right direction.
When we returned to the base of the mountain we could only view about 1 mile in front of us.
Kinda interesting that we took a drive to kill some time and in return was able to have "my little insight into heaven".
This might not make sense to anyone reading this but I figured that it beat posting something about spring.
So I write this one for you( you know who you are) and maybe it will get a few other minds turning as to what our Heavenly Father sees.

This time of year is so fun for where we live. According to Treven, we have popcorn trees everywhere. The other day we were driving home and Treven says to me "This is great! We have lots of popcorn trees."

My kiddos at the park!

O.K. so I'm not sure how yummy this looks in a picture but it was one of the best dinners I have had lately! And the best part, Erik cooked it, packed it, and took our family on a picnic! Love It! Southwestern Chicken Taco Salad!!!!

Kids Say The Darnest Things!

Today, we were driving home from the park after spending some quality time with our good friends! ( No really, we had a great time! Thanks!)
Anyways, Treven says to me "Mom, my hair is sweaty so I've had a long day! Lets go home and rest."
Then I say to him "Do you want to roll your window down and get some fresh air?"
He replies with a grunt and proceeds to roll down his window. After about 10 seconds (no joke) he says "Please roll the window up, I don't like the air in my hair."
His word choice was just soooo cute. Not wind or fresh air, it was just "air in my hair".
O.k. so maybe noboby thinks thats as cute as I do, but he says some of the cutest things.

My Very Own Mr. Potatoe Head

Yes, that is a Mr. Potatoe Head sword and earring that my son has. He told me that he was Captain Hook and that if I was not nice, he would give me an earring!? Don't ask, I have no idea how he came up with that. I'm just glad that he didn't say anything worse. I'll take an earring over having to walk the plank!
