For the Beauty of the Earth

In an effort to be a better pet owner and give our dog what the great Dog Whisperer says must be top priority, exercise, we took Dakota on a couple of great walks last week!  The first day I pulled the stroller out in preparation and Asher and Haven decided they preferred different modes of transportation, like her feet and his bike.  What a concept!  Sometimes I'm amazed at how fast my little ones are growing up right in front of my eyes.  Anyway, on our walk I kept finding myself thinking about how grateful I am for the beautiful place I live and the simple pleasures I enjoy and often take for granted, like the fresh air, blue and sometimes cloudy skies, awesome trees, the view of puget sound, the horses that come to greet us as we walk by, my kids that like to be close to me.  

Take off!
Also, this is a shot of our house and I must put a plug in for Asher's awesome, wooden, peadal-less, park racer bike, as recommended by one of my most favorite friends, Alyssa.   See what she had to say about these bikes here, look at #6.


The horses we at the little grey building when we approached the fence, and when they heard speaking to each other, they looked up and headed our way.


Kiddo and his sister, or so we're told, enjoying the carrots we brought to share

That is so wonderful. Way to take advantage of beautiful OH. And way to make me homesick a bit.. especially since you are a few feet away from my house. Oh, and Asher is too cool.

Why is the ya pack member a little less than happy in the last picture? Way to go on the walks man!

My kids love walking down to the horses too. I use it to bribe Tyler into getting into the stroller. He thinks he is too big for it.
