A Beautiful Weekend

We've had pretty warm temperatures here the past few days, we we took advantage of a no football game weekend and spent most of Saturday outside and just enjoyed a relaxing weekend!  We even got to enjoy a night out with friends sans kids Saturday night!!! That is always a favorite treat!  Before that though, we went to the park and had a picnic lunch which the children loved.  I took a bazillion pics and am "only" posting 21.  Ha! Enjoy a glimpse into our beautiful day with three wild monkeys....

Guess who it is?

I tried to get one of those cool sun glare pics, but clearly I don't know how to do it...still a cool pic though












My Abbie is serious about her food:)











Samuel ended up going outside the playground to dig around.  He found some cactus looking weed...








Daddy even got in on the fun (I did too but it wasn't caught on camera of course)




 I just love this girl and love the funny and spunky diva she is
{good job Jeff taking this picture!}

I'm so thankful for days and weekends like this one.  These are the days that truly remind me I am living my dream.  The days I will long for when they are all grown and gone.  The days that are etched in my mind and heart forever.  I love spending good time with my family just watching my kids and realizing they are mine {well, not really all mine...but you know what I mean}.   I am so in love with them and so in awe at the family God has provided for us!

such fun with this great weather! i just love looking at your pictures...if you figure out how to do the cool glare, let us readers know. i've gotten some semi-cool sun spots, but they just end up looking hazy. i'd love a post on what your favorite settings and mode are too...your colors are always so vibrant! i really enjoy hearing how other take their shots!
