We have enjoyed a fabulous President's day weekend.
The kids and I started off the festivities with a free hot dog from the Dodge dealer and a visit to Cabela's. It was kind of an impromptu field trip as all we were planning when we left the house was to get the van washed. 
We checked out the animals and tested a few tents. Fun Stuff.
When we got home, Uncle Jeremy called and asked if our house was the place to be. I said, "Of course!" He asked if he could bring a pretty girl over for dinner and a movie. I said, "Sure, how much time are you going to give me?" He said, "30 minutes."
We tidied up the house, made carmel popcorn, fixed up some pork chops and rice, and had a party. Jeremy and Shannon were treated to a fiddle concert, dinner, and a movie. I do best with last minute parties - they don't give me time to chicken out and cancel.
Saturday, we decided it was spring so we had a "Welcome Spring Party." The girls and I pruned 8 of the trees. Then the boys built a fire in the fire pit and we roasted hot dogs. It was a little chilly, but fun nonetheless. 
Sunday, after church we made cookies and Robyn and I went for a walk to deliver them to some of the neighbors. It was a beautiful day for a walk.
Monday, Randy had the day off!! We all went to gymnastics and the kids loved that Dad got to watch them be tricky. After gymnastics, I dejunked my bathroom drawer - Happy Days! Randy made sure Caden didn't choke to death or fall off the stairs or.....
After lunch, I was going to finish pruning the rest of the fruit trees, but Randy had a better idea. He took us to the park. We hiked all around the hills and then played at the playground. What a beautiful day!
You don't think Caden will be scarred for life from having to wear girl snowpants, do you?
We rounded off the evening by all practicing our gymnastics skills in the living room. There is nothing like cartwheels, donkey kicks, and head stands to settle everyone down for sleep. :) I tell you, I have one talented husband. This chick digs a guy with skills. Too bad I didn't get pictures of that.
This family's nature deficit disorder has once again been successfully treated and I love the resulting pink cheeks on what used to be my paleface son.

That park is huge! I didn't know Boise had that much open space left.
I think Caden will be fine. After all Collen had pink show pants and he has no big sisters to blame it on! Looks like you has a fun weekend!
Caden might be able to grow up without being scarred for life. The one thing that worries me is that you took a picture of him in those girl pants. So I don't know. The evidence is hard to destroy once you've published it on the Internet.
I can't believe you're already pruning fruit trees. We still have 29 feet of snow. I'm moving to Boise.
