Weekend Fun!

This weather this weekend has been amazing! It is 82 degrees and super sunny today - we are LOVING it! We've spent nearly all our waking time this weekend outdoors. Here are just a few snapshots of the fun we've been having and the work we've been doing this weekend. (and yes, I'm just a little perturbed with myself for forgetting to reset the ISO before snapping all these cute outdoor picture... d'oh!)

Rolling the front lawn...

Over-seeding the front lawn (that was newly planted this past fall)...

Of course, you have to water new seed (we thought it was supposed to storm today??)...

Carson is an especially happy little man with the sprinklers going. :)

Jet got a new toy from Tractor Supply... it's a horse toy, but he is LOVING it...

Wading in Lake Holleboom... :)

Splashing in puddles is just oh-so fun!

We set up our new tent early yesterday morning to make sure we were happy with this model... camping this summer is going to be SO fun!

We are looking forward to having more fun this afternoon and evening once Carson is up from his nap, too! Gotta enjoy this nice weather while it lasts because you just never know what tomorrow brings (weather-wise) here in Michigan!

Everything changes, but staying true to yourself is most important. Being good to others should always be a top priority or God WILL find a way to humble you. Learn from your mistakes, and also those of others... We don't have enough time to make the same ones twice. Cherish all of the small moments. Try not to spend too much time worrying about others - there is always going to be someone happier, healthier, and more successful than you, so be the best you can be, and in someone's eyes it will be perfect. Forgive - even when it hurts - forgive - because one day, too, you'll be in need of forgiveness. Life would be so much easier if we could simply say sorry to all of the people we've hurt and let down with them knowing how much we mean it, but instead it helps to be aware of our actions, and the feelings of others. New friendships are wonderful, and we can learn so much from every person we choose to let into our lives - but our long-lasting, childhood freindships are untouchable. Never give up on the ones you love, even when the work seems to be unbearalbe - every hardship brings you closer and will make you stronger - laughs create good memories, but tears seal the bonds. Always stay conscious, and remember that ever single action that we choose to make is going to affect someone in one way or another... so make it a good one. Trust is everything - so trust in yourself, trust in God's plan, and help others to know that they can trust you, too. The beauty of being strong is not knowing it until we've been tested beyond our limit, and in times we feel the weakest. Smile, even when it hurts too much and you might be surprised by how many others will smile back. Be a good listener - that's 90% of what freindships are made of because everyone needs and wants to be heard - and in the end, people don't necessarily remember what you say, but instead how you listened. Try with all of your strength to never pass judgement on others - the only one with the power to do that is God - and we never know what God has planned so keep an open and understanding mind and heart. Don't question the things that we can't understand - because you'll waste too much time not understanding it. And because everything changes, we have the power to change anything we choose at any given time - even at this very moment.
