Sunshine + Warmth = Bliss



So the last couple of weeks we've had some great days here & there. This was one of those days! It was the perfect day to go to the park & have a picnic & play around. It was in the 80's & simply wonderful! Gavin & I met up with some friends & their babes & tots. Gavin obviously had no clue what was going on, but he seemed to enjoy himself none the less.

Today was another beautiful day! I took Gavin running this morning & loved it. I'm not a big runner, but I couldn't resist the outdoors. I'm wanting to start running more so if anyone has any good advice on getting started, I would love to hear it!
We had another picnic today with Dynese & Steph & the kidlets at the park! It was so nice to just relax & enjoy ourselves! Thank you Mr.Sun for coming out to play! I can't wait to see you everyday!

I sometimes get the urge to go running too... then I go once and remember why I hate it so much. Either way, you and your little man are still cute!

I need to get Collin a hat. Even if I do, he'll still want to steal Gavins :) Nothin' better than picnic in the park!

RUNNING! It's the best. Just start out slow, drink lots of water and stretch! It helps to always have a goal or something to look forward to. Soooo, maybe there will be a race in Utah you and I can run in July????

Wow - 80 degrees. What a fabulous spring day. The pics are great of you guys at the park. Advice on running isn't really mine but my brother Bob's. He managed and trained marathon runners and said the best way to start is to take for example a block of time such as 15 minutes and run as long as you can in that time frame and then walk to rest up and run again until you gradually work up to running 15 minutes straight. Then add extra running minutes to that every few days until you are running the time or distance you want to. Have fun!

Lovin that you have great weather...it seems to be shaping up here. Gavin looks a little unsure in that swing ; )

Rachel! I can't believe how big and handsome Gavin is getting!
Good luck with the running, I know a lot of people really grow to love it when they spend the time to do it. (I unfortunately have never developed that love, but c'est la vie!)
So happy that you're getting some warm weather, we had our first 70+ day last week and it was divine!
