My weekend

After a busy week I was ready for the weekend more than ever. I had made up my mind that I wasn't going to do much of anything. Saturday I did some cleaning around the house. Micah worked next door. The kids were scattered with friends. I did get to the point in my day that I walked around not doing much of anything. I didn't want to go any where, I didn't want to read or be on the computer. I simply wanted to be. But as the day went on I sort of got in a funk and a little moody, at this point I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself in it until the next day at least. My family were real troopers in dealing with me in this frame of mind.

Sunday came along and it was beautiful outside. Micah had already left for early service since he's in the choir and they were going to sing at both services. So I was left with getting the kids up and out the door to church. I was pleasantly blessed with a great morning start with the kids. We went to church and enjoyed our morning. After church we came home to eat lunch and get ready to go to Cameron so they boys could ride their dirt bikes (while we girls sat in the truck watching and waiting until they had their fill of riding). The best part for us to hold out for is the food. We also end our fun at Cameron with going to the trading post to eat Navajo Tacos.

After we got home I took my card out of my camera to upload the pictures that I took throughout the weekend and as they were uploading I realized that I was blessed with such a wonderful weekend. I enjoyed my family and the beautiful scenery around me........so I think I did accomplish the "simply being" this weekend after all.

My beautiful Girls

I saw this little bouquet as soon as I walked into church this morning and it would just a big smile on my face that I just had to have it. My husband saw me with it and rolled his eyes and smiled and said that saw them but didn't know I'd want them. I told him how pretty they were and that they would make a perfect photo subject.

Flagstaff Sunset

Karlee decided to try riding again (its her 2nd time)

I'm so proud of Kyle. He had a scare the last time he rode and was hesitant about riding again but he got on and soon found himself comfortable again and enjoying it. Now he caught the "dirt bike fever" again and wants to go again soon.
