Enjoying the month of February

This post consists of a bunch of random thoughts I had this morning.
The weather this month has been so nice. I have enjoyed being outside every day. This time of year makes me appreciate living in the desert. I always say I want to live somewhere green and pretty, but I do not think I would like the snow.
Cole got a trampoline as an early Birthday present and we love going outside and jumping. Nathen and Aaron dug a hole, so that the trampoline is flush with the ground. This is nice the kids can just run onto the trampoline.
We have been doing yard work, which is long over due. We got some sand for beach volleyball. We just need to get the net put up and then I need some people to come play with me.
I am playing on a volleyball league. Our first game was last Tuesday. We had a double header and lost both games. I still enjoyed playing even if we did not win.
Nathen is playing flag football. His first game is Thursday. He had practice last Thursday and Paige and I went with him and played at the park and walked around the baseball field. I like having activities in the evening that get me out of the house.
I had quite the day between a Bee and a Bird. A bee bit me yesterday. I have not been bitten by a bee since I was a little kid. I forgot how much a bee bite hurts. Nathen told me to suck it up and I was not even dramatic. It bit me I pulled out the stinger and said, "a bee just bit me." Then later I said it is burning.
Then later that night a bird was in the house and I do not like birds. I opened the outside doors in hopes the bird would fly outside, but it just keep flying around my house. It even pooped in my house. Nathen was not home so I was holding Paige trying to shut all the doors in the house so that the bird did not go into the bedrooms, bathroom, or laundry room. While I was running around the house the bird was frantically flying around. I would yell when it came at me. I think Paige was a little traumatized by her mothers reaction to the bird. When Nathen got home I told her to tell Daddy about the bird. She told him a story for about 20min. She kept pointing to the ceiling and saying bird, momma and other stuff we could not understand. She was cracking me up.
