We found this beautiful bike trail near our home. We call it the "princess" walk. It's really the old tobacco trail near Old White Oaks Church Road. Quite the names for the roads around here. Anyway, we got our bikes fixed up and I take the kids for rides up and down this trail. Horses are allowed on the trail too , so it's really fun for the kids. I shove them in my two seater bike trailer and go for it. My kids are really starting to put on the weight so even though I'm getting more in shape, they keep gaining weight so it's still just as hard to pull them. I think people on the trail can see how tough it is because they always make comments like,"Wow, quite the load your carrying." I get that everywhere I go. People around here don't have very many kids. All the baptist preachers tell me how blessed I am. I just tell them, "I know". It's kinda fun being amongst so many different religions. We keep having these Jehovah Witnesses come by our house on Saturday. We gave them a BOM and they stayed away for a while, but Ryan said they came by last Saturday. I wasn't home because I was out with the sister missionaries. They are so cute. Every time someone would open the door and actually talk to us, it was a miracle to them. It's just so fun being able to go out with them. They wished they would have been around when the Jehovah Witnesses came to our house. I guess the guy brought the big guns with him. We just can't get passed the Garden of Eden with them so we just go in circles. It's fun to talk religion though and hear what other people believe. I just feel bad when I realize that they don't know what I know and I'm so thankful to have the knowledge of the true gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. It brings such peace and comfort. Anyway, enough of that, I want to read my newly purchased copy of "Twilight". Ryan and I watched the show two weeks ago just because we'd heard so much hype about it. I liked it, so now I'll read it. Ryan liked it because it was in Washington. He wants to read the book with me but he is busy learning about routers and switches. Boring!

I would love to live in a place that looked like that! Michael says it was beautiful! Your kids look like they are having fun! Well we miss you, and we're all hoping Ryan's job brings him to SLC! We love you guys!
That is so cool. I have always wanted a drive way like that. I can't believe you let Grace wear that dora shirt! What is Narth Carolina doing to you!
What a beautiful place! What a good mom you are to take your kids on bike rides.
Even though I only have two kids, I often babysit, so like you, I put the the 3 kids in a double stroller/bike trailer and head to the park with my butt and leg muscles thanking me later for the good work out! haha Oh, and I'm with Meg, I hope you can move to SLC, too. It would be so fun to hang out with you. :)
That trail looks so pretty. Has it gotten cold there yet? We got snow here in SLC today. I don't think I'm ready for it. I still want to take my girls outside without having to put a closet full of clothes on them everytime. Hope you are enjoying your holidays
Beautiful!!! I love tree lined trails like that
miss you guys!
I'm so glad I'm able to view your blog...didn't realize I was unable to see it until this week! (I receive immediate alerts when a new post is added and was wondering why you hadn't posted in awhile!) Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
Wow, it's December and your kids are wearing short sleeve shirts. I am way jealous!
