We bought the kids their first swingset today! It was a grueling 6 hrs to put together but was well worth it after seeing the smiles on the kids faces. Mindy, Dustin, and Melody spent the entire day playing on the swingset and the box it came in!
We had a day of planting flowers once the weather turned nice. Dustin was a great help scooping and leveling the dirt, but Melody mostly ate the dirt and tried to roll around on the flowers.
The entire family was treated to a ski trip in Red River, NM by Mom and Dad Green. J.D. taught Dustin how to ski and by the end of the trip he was going down the bunny slop by himself. Mom and Beth pulled the kids around on the sled and had quite a snow ball fight. We also went on a snowmobile tour thru the mountains, that was awesome! Dale, Dad, and I spent hours on the slopes until our legs felt like noodles. It was a well needed vacation and a great trip to spend with the family, thanks Mom and Dad!!
I need a hobby, something that I can be proud of and look forward to doing often. My 2 young children are my hobbies, and I cannot tear myself away from spending every free moment with them. Working a full time job as a nurse consumes time that I can not waste any more of on hobbies. Although blogging is a hobby that can provide away to illustrate their lives growing up. Each one of their births seems like a blink of an eye ago. If there were only away to slow time or better yet travel in time to any first smile, first step or first "I love you mommy," but in the mean time I will just have to blog.
