Blessed Sunshine!

The weather was glorious today. I almost wanted to skip church so we wouldn't miss a single second of the sunshine. But we went and I'm glad we did. We discussed the Sermon on the Mount in Sunday School, and I feel so renewed and ready to be good again.

As soon as we got home, we opened our windows, ate food, grabbed the glider bikes (thank you, Annee, for the second one), and headed to the field. Stephen is improving. He's been practicing a lot. Now that we have two, Mei Li will be able to practice more.


We played "What time is it Mr. Fox?"


Mei Li got caught. This picture is so funny to me.


Mi Na wore a hat, and she was cute. Cute in the stroller, cute crawling around on the picnic blanket, cute sitting on the dead grass, cute in my arms, cute in Steve's arms, cute in Mei Li's arms, cute cute cute! Oh Mi Na, I love you so! Behold the cuteness:



There they are, the four people I love most.

We rolled down the hill. Mei Li and Stephen wiped grass off my back when I reached the bottom and asked me if I was okay.


Stephen was in awe of the guys playing basketball and stood to watch. Then we started hearing some ugly words so we distracted him with the next activity.

Stephen wanted to pretend to play basketball with Steve. He didn't have a ball, but his pretend play looked like a combination of basketball and football. Stephen is awesome.

Mei Li, Mi Na, and I were in Mei Li's make believe world, which was actually based on a story I made up for them. I usually, just have to come up with the beginning and she comes up with the rest. Mei Li is awesome.

Steve checked the flight schedule and determined that one of these planes was from Los Angeles. Oh Steve, nerdy husband of mine, I love you so!



Mei Li posed for the camera. Oh dear.

Then we all walked home. Thanks for another lovely day, field.

Z Weekend!

Friday was awesome. Stephen was my dream boy all day long. In the evening, we went on a mommy-son date. Lucky me.

I took him to the mall, in the date car, for dinner and a peppermint shake from Chick-fil-a. We followed dinner with a carousel ride. He chose the black horse. I sat on the horse next to his. He noticed how when I was up, he was down, and when he was up, I was down.

When we left the mall, it was very windy and cold. I scooped him up and held him tight to keep him warm. He put his head on my shoulder and I loved it. My baby guy.

Saturday was awesome too. I took the Mei and Stephen to run an errand while Mi Na napped and Steve did some work from home.

Next, we went on a chilly walk to the library so I could pick up the books I requested.


I think it's funny that we took two strollers to accommodate all three of them. Steve checked the score of the BYU game on his phone while we walked (JIMMERRRRRR!!!!)

(On a side note: Kelly L, do you remember giving me this GAP scarf for Christmas '98? Was that also the Christmas that Kelly H got me the BYU mug?)

I'm making a goal to not binge-read The Hunger Games. I haven't started it yet. I have started Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House, which I saw on a couple of my friends good reads list. I read the first seven pages and then jumped up and seriously started cleaning my house, probably not the right way, as I'm sure I will soon learn. I'm easily inspired.

This post is getting long. I need to devote an entire post to Sunday and its beautiful, glorious weather.

P.S.

We discovered these out in front on Saturday. Spring is coming!
