Fun in the Sun

Tonight as I write we are experiencing a massive thunder and lightening storm with pounding rain. It is one of those truly awesome summer storms which I love.

Other than tonight, though, the weather has finally been acting its season and we have had almost a week of hot, sunny weather. It has been so nice to finally have it feel like summer. Matt and I have been trying to work on our landscaping, weeding and putting in a garden and flowerbed in the back. Of course, over the past two weekends we have both been a little sick with colds and sore throats so we haven't gotten as much done as we'd like. It's also been nice to fin
ally get outside with Jaina and Lewis. We have been to the park, played in the yard, and even made it to Heritage Park on Thursday with my friend Kim and her two children. Jaina is already the typical kid, she loves to ride her little bike, she asks all the time and rides it as much as she can. We also bought her these Fisher-Price beginner roller skates, which adjust for 3 levels of ability, for example right now Jaina is using the middle setting where the wheels are supposed to just roll forward. The first setting they lock so basically she could just walk in them, and the third setting is just like normal wheels. And I finally went out and purchased my birthday present from Matt and the kids, a brand new bike!! Now if I only had time to go for a big, long, fast(er) bike ride. Hopefully soon. I've only ridden up and down the street with Jaina - not very adrenaline-inducing. And we also finally got a little plastic pool for the backyard, which they enjoyed this weekend.

Anyways, the purpose of this post was really to put up a few slideshows of the kids having fun in the sun, so here they are:
