Run for the Sun

When it's so windy that not only kites, but trampolines, possibly horses can fly than its time to get out of Dodge!

When it is May and snowing its time to run for the sun!

The kids and I went down to Grammy and Grandpa's house for a good dose of Vitamin D!

Bruce found his sanctuary on the old swing under a 8 year old Kelly Family Christmas Tree with Grandpa!

Autumn found relief from the wind and snow by riding her horse Polly, everyday, sometimes twice, for at least 2 hours! She was in heaven!

Bruce also loved to be back in the saddle again.

Once you got him out of the swing onto his trusty steed you could hardly get him out of the saddle!

I had a wonderful time in the sun, defrosting!

I got to ride horses a lot with the kids and go to the State Track Meet at Mesa Community College. I was excited to learn that my 3A State Pole Vaulting record of 11'3" still stands after 8 years. The state track meet always brings back fond memory's of the good ol' days. Like when I had an awesome tan, a six pack, could run repeat ladders, could jump, bend over to tie my shoes, or dye my hair blond (crazy I know).

High Jumping back in the day! If I was only that flexible today!
After a great 3 day vacation we came back to to wonderful weather and an awesome surprise....................

Daddy finished the patio.

I had laid out the design and put down most of the brick but Isaac cut out the last pieces to make it look pretty and finished. Then........

he constructed a bomb proof compost pit. That's right bomb proof. I can hardly move the master piece. So sorry Socko and Mr. or Ms. Bugs Bunny no more free lunch for you. Then........

he laid out the plan for the fence around the garden beds. Now don't get jealous! He will have side jobs for the next 4 weeks so no you may not order a bomb proof compost pit and no he has no time to put in your can lights (jk).
