trampolines, quads and bbq's

We've had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, but we are all exhausted from our holiday! :)  The weather has been gorgeous here and with this being Kyle's first real summer here, we are taking advantage of it!  This weekend was filled with bike riding, hiking, church, BBQ's and Kyle went rafting on Eagle River yesterday with airmen's ministry.  He had a great time.  It was a bit too cold for me.  The water is still 36 degrees! agh!  

Today it is beautiful here.  I took Emma to the park for about two hours and she played until she was exhausted and had dirt covering just about every inch of her body.  She had a blast!  She decided to go down the slide face first and land in the gravel.  That was a bummer.  Somehow she ended up with a bloody knee but with no head injuries. go figure. 
This weekend I have had to relax and breath and not stress out all the time as Mom.  We went to our friends house for Memorial day and they have a trampoline, and a 4 wheeler.  Two things that sort of bring anxiety to my life! ha.   Emma being the free spirit and not afraid of really anything too much wants to do all of it!  I am thinking...you are two years old not 15.  A little too old to be riding a quad.  But, Kyle reassured me she would live through the experience and guess what....she did.  She loved it.   Our friend was giving rides to all the little kids.  I have a bad feeling in my stomach that she might our dare devil child.  God help me, please!  
I have enough issues with Kyle being into motorcross and street bikes, but now my only child!  agh!!!!   I need lots of grace for the coming years, please God.

Oh MY! Do you ever! She is a Daddy's girl for sure and certain. That would be Colin. Lets hope that they don't ever conspire together on the same playground - no telling what they would do!
The water sounds just freezing. Josh is getting ready to leave for the Boundary Waters with Daine for a week long canoe trip. The weather there will still be chilly - like 50-60's but no mosquito's yet!
We are dealing with a cold snap through here - my flowers look freezer burnt. It was cold and rainy again today. Next week I am hoping for some warmer weather. Grandmother white, mom, aunt lorna, des, and me and the kids are all going to branson. It should be a riot with Grandmother. Im looking forward to it.
Here's to wishing for warmer weather and safe landings with our little monsters!
