Conner and the girls

I will start this post with a disclaimer:  *** Warning!**** If you are experiencing cabin fever, sick of snow, freezing in your house, shoveling your driveway for the 3rd time today, you just may not want to read this post! ****

With that out of the way, I am going to say yesterday was a great day!  I enjoyed a nice 6.2 mile run (training for the Ragnar Relay), went to the temple with Lane (need the blessings), and then spent a long time out at the park with the kids (have to be a good mom).

What a gorgeous day it was yesterday!  You know, I was heard saying many times, "Over my dead body will I ever live in Arizona."  Well, I guess that's what life is all about - to teach you to never say never.  And yesterday, I was happy to live in AZ!

The kids all wanted to play at the park next door.  So, I grabbed some reading material and headed over.  The neighbor girls and some of their friends were also at the park.  We ended up just having a blast with everyone playing together - even Conner.

I have to back up and say we only have 6 families that live in our neighborhood.  One of them only has 2 teenage kids so we don't see them a lot.  The rest of us are very good friends and really have fun together.  Here's the kicker - until about a month ago, we had the 4 families of us with little kids.  We are great friends - and everyone has girls.  Combined

 together, we have 14 kids. Two, yes 2, are boys!  Can you believe it!  We are one hormone infested neighborhood!!  Thank heaven we have had a family with 2 boys (although the wrong ages) move in, and now a new family with a boy Conner's age is moving in next month!  HALLELUJAH!

Thank heaven for little Justin down the street - he is getting older and Conner likes playing with him now.  But, without Justin, Conner just has to play with the girls - ALL of them!  Apparently yesterday he was able to hold his own.  Here's a few shots of our perfect day at the park.

Conner - quite the ladies' man!
