What I Wore Sunday: Sunday FUNday!

 Happy Sunday!
 
Wow, this weekend was awesome!  The weather was amazing and it made for great family time.  We went to church on Saturday night again.  I really enjoyed the second reading.
 

Reading 2, First Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23

16 In fact, preaching the gospel gives me nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion and I should be in trouble if I failed to do it.
17 If I did it on my own initiative I would deserve a reward; but if I do it under compulsion I am simply accepting a task entrusted to me.
18 What reward do I have, then? That in my preaching I offer the gospel free of charge to avoid using the rights which the gospel allows me.
19 So though I was not a slave to any human being, I put myself in slavery to all people, to win as many as I could.
22 To the weak, I made myself weak, to win the weak. I accommodated myself to people in all kinds of different situations, so that by all possible means I might bring some to salvation.
23 All this I do for the sake of the gospel, that I may share its benefits with others.
 
Those last lines are so powerful to me!
 
Mom's lap is never empty! (which is pretty wonderful!)  We were five minutes late
to Mass....again...which is no Bueno!  So we found ourselves in the back on the floor.
Not ideal, but we'll take it!

Earlier in the day on Saturday, since the weather was so freakin nice, we decided to go on a family bike ride.  I am loving that Beckett is old enough to enjoy it with us now!  I can already tell this summer is going to be full or them!
We decided to take the bike trailer this time because we were going on a pretty big outing that included stopping at Sprouts and we wanted to make sure we had somewhere to put the groceries.  We purchased our sweet bike trailer at a garage sale last summer for...wait for it....$15.  Amazing!  It is double amazing because it also serves as a running stroller which has been awesome in using when the weather is nice enough to go on runs with the kids or get Tavian to/from school!  Money well spent :)
First we rode to Panera for a few bagels and some hydration, then stopped at the library to play and read, and then quickly stopped at Sprouts for a few items.  It was a wonderful way to spend the day!
And this little cutie was all tuckered out by the time we got home.  I love how big the helmet looks on him!
Such a sweet pea!
 Today has been amazing as well for a lot of reasons.  We had so much fun yesterday that we decided to head out on the bikes again.  This time we rode to Starbucks, and since we didn't need storage space, we decided to leave the bike trailer at home.  It is awesome and easy to get around with Tavian on the tandem bike and Felicity and Beckett in the front bike seats.  The WeeRide Kangaroo bike seats are another priceless investment!  Soooo much fun, and the kids LOVE it!
 
This is how we roll! :)
Enjoying the beautiful day on the lawn outside of Starbucks
That is what you call cuteness!  It was pretty windy out so we still bundled up!
I feel so blessed to get to make memories like this with my family.  If only every day could be so fun!
 
Cole and I were cracking up at the creative way Felicity put her
bike helmet on.  I can't say how much protection she will get from it but it sure is cute! :)
We made a stop at a park on the way home and had a wonderful time playing together!
 
 On top of all this goodness, Felicity and Cole also attended the Father/Daughter Dance today.  I'll save the details and the cuteness for another post coming soon! :)
 
Hope you all were able to enjoy some nice weather this weekend!
