The start of summer

Well it is the middle of June and it doesn't even feel like summer. We have had 12 days out of 13 that were rain. And we aren't talking a little drizzle. We are talking downpour rain. I think we haven't had to turn our sprinklers on at all this month. Granted we like free water for our lawn and garden but we haven't got to play outside and enjoy the warm summer months. So needless to say, we are ready for summer. We had a day without rain yesterday and boy we were outside most of the day just enjoying the sun.

In the meantime, we have got to do a couple fun things. With our older kids (no babies right now), we are able to go play in the mountains and 4 wheel and just enjoy. So that is what we did one day. We have tried since but the weather hasn't cooperated. I am just not into cleaning mud off two kids. Here are some pictures:

Isn't my hubby so handsome!

Matthew had fun being a monkey and climbing the ramps.

My hubby's favorite activity.

These sweeties are just too cute.

Kimberly and her battery powered 4 wheeler. She is such a daredevil on it. Funny because when she got it on her 3rd birthday, she hated it. It scared her. She would not ride it for 1 year. Finally on her 4th birthday, she dared to ride and found she loved it. Now that she is 5, she isn't scared of it at all.

I just loved this picture. Matthew smiling and Kimmy zooming around on her 4 wheeler. Matthew did get on it with his sissy and had fun.

This picture makes me laugh. I was trying to get a cute new picture of Duke and here I caught him licking his lips. But the picture caught him with what looks like his tongue in his nose.

Brian was starting a little fire for us to cook some hotdogs. This picture looks like Matthew is telling daddy how to do it.

This picture is so sweet. Shows you how much Matthew loves his daddy. He was so tired.

Kimmy and I were off for a ride. Just a little one up and down the road. The only problem we had was Duke followed us wherever we went.

I love this picture. Now before anyone start spouting off about not wearing helmets, we do wear our helmets when we ride. This was just a little ride around where we were parked. We are very big on wearing our helmets, especially the kids.

Hopefully we will get more days like this one. We are trying to plan one with the Peterson clan before some of them head off to California. All I know is we need more sun and warm weather. The kids are ready for some fun in the sun.

Blessings to all until next post. :-)
