It all started....

With a monsoon storm blowing in. Unfortunately, we didn't get much of the rain...but FORTUNATELY we got the 20 degree drop in temperature!!!! Rebekkah's school is 5 miles away from where we live and when she got home from school yesterday, she was SOAKED!!! It turned out to be such a beautiful night...we stayed outside for a couple of hours after dinner and just played around. I love when we have great weather like this, in the middle of it being SO HOT!!!!
Walker got on the bike first, then everyone else had to follow!!!!
Who's that stud??? Yum!!!!
Bekkah, Bekkah, Bekkah, when will you ever give me a "normal" smile!!! haha...it's ok, I love it when she does this, just her personality shining through!!!!
Walker-man on his skateboard, well, actually Abby's skateboard...but he's in that "everything is MINE" stage!
When I asked him to smile for me, this is what I got!!! hahahahaha...taking after his older sister maybe!!!
If that doesn't look like a CHAPMAN!!! Holy cow!!!!
Since the beautiful night, when into a beautiful morning for us....I got my butt off the couch, stuck a prego pop/candy thingy in my mouth, and Walker and I headed off for a bike ride!! I enjoyed it so much. The weather was just gorgeous...and the clouds! I couldn't pass up an opportunity like this!! Outside we were gonna be!!!! Only thing missing was my two bike riding buddies :( But they were at school of course....

I went to pick up Abby from school today...and at 11:00 it was still only 84 degrees outside!!! I rolled down all the windows, opened up the sun roof and just took it all in!!! I WISH I would have had my camera when I was driving there....the clouds coming across the mountains was absolutely gorgeous!! As I was driving to the school...lost in thought....I looked around at all the cars around me, the ones I was passing and the ones coming from the other direction. Out of all the cars I saw, only ONE had their windows rolled down!! I couldn't believe it! Those people, with their windows up, all stuffy, had no idea what they were missing!!!

I can't believe you got off the couch for a bike ride! You're such a fun mom, especially when you feel like crap! I loved the weather this morning too... I thought, "is this what it feels like in October? I can't remember." Anyhow, like I said you're a fun mom, all we did was go out and pull weeds, but we were outside!

Tell me about it! I had to open our sliding door this morning during breakfast just to hear and smell the rain. It was beautiful outside!

Cute photos of the kids!
