Family First

For the last few months, Matt and I make sure that every Saturday we go out and spend the day as a family. During the week is hard to get all 4 of us together and with us being tired from working all day, Riley being tired from school, and Paige excited to see us after she has been with her sitter all day. So Saturday is the day. We don't sleep in, we get up at around 7 am and get moving!! After a morning snack, its Gymnastics class for Riley, Then out breakfast! After breakfast it is already time for Paige's swim lessons! WE really enjoy teaching our kids how to swim sooner then later (Rye has been swimming on his own since he was 2). Then showers for all and out to lunch and then on to our family adventure!!!

Todays adventure was the Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center. Typically this would not be a February event.....but when its 50 outside and sunny you go! It was sooooo beautiful and I got a lot or real nice pictures of Matt and Riley (Matt has been wanting to take Rye hiking since we found out at our 20 week ultrasound appt he was a boy!).  We hiked 2 MILES with a 3 yr old and a 6 almost 7 month old in a stroller!!! No one complained!!! Not even mommy!

Since our Saturday adventures have been happening, I make sure we always stop to take a family of 4 picture. Which is very hard to do unless I get a complete stranger to take it.......which means I am making a lot of new, friendly people who hopefully don't mind stopping to help us take our picture.

The man who took this picture actually lives 5 mins away from the center and was with his son who was about 12 and he actually showed us where a really good place was to take a family picture. He then told us they have been going there every week for the last 12 years!!! (See  :-) we're meeting some real nice people when we ask them to take our picture).

Stay tuned to next weeks adventure!!! Who knows where life will lead us!!!
