Life is Beautiful: a quick update

I feel like I am living in a "blank" the last 3 weeks or so. Just trying to survive the kids, the neverending chores around the house, getting over 2 bad colds while trying to start running more, etc. I thought about writing on here a few times and then I realized that I don't have anything good or interesting to say. :) So it feels a bit like my life is pretty boring at the moment, no excitement other than watching kids get excited about playing with water outside, or popsicles they get to have, or watching Kade play soccer. The summer is sort of here, we had a couple days here and there that were pretty warm and we actually enjoyed some summer fun in our back yard. Since me and the kids are pretty stuck here in the house all day (there are too many kids to fit in our van) we've been going to town a lot in the evenings, like going to the park or Kade's soccer, or to the library which is a nice break. Other than that, nothing too much going on. We're hoping to enjoy some family time this weekend at Ehren's parents' cabin. It will be Father's Day and our anniversary on Sunday so we have 2 occasions to celebrate.

Here are a few pictures of the kids outside, our first warmer days and we hope for many many more this summer. :)

PS: In case you're wondering why in the world do we use the tiny kiddie pool instead of the big blow up one is that as a rule for a licensed daycare we have to change water in those pools every day and it is a pain in the butt to fill up the big pool and drain it all in one day. :) So our kids really can't wait to swim in the lake or the swimming pool on the weekends.
