Lime and Navy

 Wow, Two navy themes in a row...I really am going to be in trouble when I have used every color combo as post titles.  It is just easy, I will do it as long as I can.  I have already mention (probably more than once), what a fan I am of green and blue together.  I love trying different shades of the two colors together and this one was no exception.  You can't really tell too much in my pictures that my shirt is lime...but it is :)  The skirt is also a tiny polka dot print, which you can't really see either...working on it.

This is what I wore to church today (it was so WINDY!).  I LOVE getting dressed up for church.  Is that strange?  Probably, but I figure if I am going to wear a dress, I might as well go all out.

 This past weekend was such a lovely one.  Summer has been so fun to be able to have fun adventures with my boys (and we have DEFINITELY had some), but it is fun to be able to have Josh with us on our adventures on the weekend.

On Saturday we went on a hike.  It is a hike that we do every year.  It is up at a ski resort and leads to a perfect little lake.  The air smells clean and heavily of pine and the terrain isn't too steep for kids.  We always take a breakfast of bagels and cream cheese and nectarines (the tradition started when Josh and I were dating and that is what we took, so we just always do that...I guess we are sort of sentimental)  We usually go a bit later in the summer, but decided that Saturday was as good a day as any.

 Well, unbeknownst to us, the road we usually take up to the beginning of the trail was closed (we found out it opens NEXT WEEK...) and so we had to hike up a different way.  We followed a family that looked like they knew where they were going and began our hike.

Well, to make a long story short the "trail" was super steep and seriously hard.  I was SO proud of my boys. They are only 8, 7 and 6 (the 2 year old was in a hiking backpack) and they didn't complain.  They just kept saying "This is hard, but Nelsons can do hard things."  I was seriously impressed with them.

 This picture is from the beginning of our hiking adventure.

 

 It ended up being so fun and we took the more leisurely way back (and they slept really well that night). 

 My two year old LOVES to have his picture taking (which I love because I am a picture taking mamma).  He was dying to be in my pics, so I thought you'd like to see his cute little mug.  He seriously kills me with his adorableness.  On our hike yesterday he kept throwing rocks into the pond saying "here ya go!"  He always keeps us laughing.
