Beauty and God's Love

Rewinding a bit here to mid November.  I had a lot on my mind that particular Saturday, so this spur of the moment bike ride with my family, and the gorgeous back drop, felt like a total blessing from heaven.  I literally rode behind my family with tears pouring down my face as I felt Heavenly Father lift some burdens and pain in my heart that day.  And that sky, it was a lovely distraction and reminded me of God's love.  He knew what I needed that day.  I took a ton of pictures with my iPhone, and I love them.


I'm always annoying my family with taking too many pictures.  Can you tell?!
As, I said, "spur of the moment," hence my appropriate clothing:).
Not too shabby for an iPhone pic!
This was Cooper's first major bike ride.  Note: tongue sticking into his cheek.. that is Cooper's nervous look.   He does that quite a bit when I take a picture of him.



Man!  The Heavens are open!


We ended up going a little too far and Cooper pooped out on us.  I did have a freak out moment as I watched Rich carry Cooper on his back (with only Cooper's little hands holding on), all while carrying his bike and riding his own.  



The aftermath of "Color Me Rad" race (where they throw colored corn starch at the runners...Hmm, doesn't sound so fun to me), but it sure looked awesome in these pictures.
 So thankful for this awesome beauty that I am surrounded by!  And thankful for a Heavenly Father who answers prayers.
