I promptly jacketed, shoed and rushed the 6 littles out the door to bask in the sunshine! As I watched them RUSH down our road-filled with FREEDOM and ENERGY, The first thing that came to my fairly twisted mind was good ol' JOHN DENVER'S song....
Country Roads, Take me home, to the place...I BELONG!!!
At the end of our road is a creek or "CRICK" as the kids call it. They have gotten MUCH JOY over the years throwing rocks in the creek. There was no technology, tv, or money involved in the joy we experienced today.
It was still somewhat frozen today and so Wy Wy thought he could crack it with this small boulder :)
Our Saint Bernard-Karmy got warm today-the kids LOVED watching her swim in the icy waters. Notice all the little rocks around her.
After about 30 minutes of throwing rocks, it was time to head home..
"Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children are a REWARD from him." Psalm 127:3

Oh how fun! It makes me want to live where ever it is you live.
So sweet! I grew up down the road from a creek and threw rocks in it frequently. I love how children enjoy such simple things. So sweet.
Looks like so much fun! I love the simple life too. I also love how your hubby called to tell you what the weather was like outside. So cute!
Warm weather---JOY to my heart (please send some to freezing cold CO)! I'm getting desperate :)
I love that scripture---in The Message (in the same scripture) it says that children are His BEST GIFTS! Isn't that the truth?
Gorgeous pics of your precious ones.
Awww, a mama after my own heart. I LOVE taking walks down our country roads! And throwing rocks in the crick is the BEST!
And like you, I never know what the weather is unless I happen to catch the news..otherwise I stay in the house, with the heat up wishing for warm weather and probably missing out of it. LOL
Precious! You are such a great mom!
Ahh My sister lives on a farm and I used to jog on roads like that. Send some of that warmness to GI Neb!
Jenn, those are favorite kind of days too! Looks like a delightful time and the dog BRRRRR!
Love you,
Jill
We headed out to our friend's ranch yesterday as well to enjoy the weather! We climbed down in the box canyons, watched the cattle and found rocks. It was SO WARM! But out here, the wind was blowing like crazy. We had a blast on our adventure too- looks your kiddos did too! Hope the rest of your day was blessed with your rewards!

I just started reading your blog (got it off of someone's blogroll, but I can't remember who) and I love it! Such joy! Makes me want to be a kid again and gives me ideas of things to do with my little one as he gets older.
