Simple Pleasures

woke up this morning to Brahm wandering around my room wearing Jess' glasses

took a bike ride with the kids to Simon's school

saw bolts of lightning and felt the sprinkle of rain

snuggled and napped with Brahm in the early afternoon

listened to Donna Summer on Pandora tonight-- took me back to my childhood days of rollerskating around our pool while listening to my Mom's old records

ate savory zucchini pie and yesterday's picked peaches for dinner

read about Ammon in our family scripture study

watched as Simon pedaled the tricycle and Brahm held on for the ride

Biking along the Greenbelt

I haven't ridden a bike since before Simon was born. Jess and I used to cruise around Provo and the BYU campus together on our Target bikes. After Simon was born, our bikes collected dust in our garage and we eventually gave them away to D.I. Last spring when the weather was beginning to warm up, I really wanted a bike to ride around with the kids. Tonight for our combined Young Women and Young Men's activity, we rode bikes along the Greenbelt. Someone loaned me their bike, and I felt like a kid again. I wanted so much to have my family riding near me. The cool air coming off of the Boise river felt wonderful, and riding near the Boise State campus made me nostalgic for Provo.
