family bike ride, 5 miles and a fun saturday

this is olive's new way of coming down stairs
it makes me a little crazy as her mom but it's exactly something i would've done when i was little
so i can't be mad
 swinging outside on friday without coats! in february! i love it
 i finally got dressed by the time the kids were almost home from school...
 cuties
 monkeys 
 when michael got home we decided to go on a little family bike ride
it's been a while since we'd gone on one
and it got a little chilly but it was fun
henry looked so cute in a helmet
 we went to the park near our house
 the kids were happy to play
 oh michael...


 it was fun until it got too cold
so we headed home


 right as we pulled up the missionaries were walking by so we offered them some cake
 leftoever from the blue and gold banquet that noah made
they loved it
saturday i went straight on a 5 mile run when i got up
it was really nice
i ran the whole thing and it was a lot more enjoyable than the 4 mile run last saturday
 michael ran his 5 miles on the treadmill while i was gone
so we were both done at the same time

 we did a little shopping later in the day
and bought this toy for the kids that kept them entertained before we got our food at cafe rio

 then we went to the mall and let the kids do a ride together

and when we got home we ate dinner and watched a movie together as a family
now hazel and olive have fevers
and eleanor is getting over something
so just michael and noah will be going to church today
i hope everyone gets better soon

Oh, I miss your cute family. Richard and I are both training for a half right now also so our Saturday mornings start out pretty similarly. Sometimes when I look at your blog it is weird how much it matches our family life.... even if our fifth children are different genders. We're still twin families. :)
