Can I just say how fun it is having your kiddos be old enough for a mountain hike up to a gorgeous waterfall on 4th of July weekend? No whining, no diaper bag, just everyone pulling their own weight. Beautiful stuff. Now, I miss the sweet soapy smell and tiny bums of little ones, but you have to enjoy the stage your at, right?Hey, look at me. I made a writing analogy.
Ok, I know you didn't pop over to look at my kids, so on with the winner of our Free Stuff Friday drawing...
Using random.org the winner is:
BJ Anderson

Woo hoo! Congrats BJ!!
Congratulations BJ and thanks Tess for doing an awesome contest--and looking at your kids and the waterfall is totally awesome! Glad it was a great Fourth.
Oh my gosh!!! I never win anything!! Woo hoo! Thanks for the contest, Tess! :D:D
I was so excited I forgot to say beautiful picture. :D
Oh, I can't wait until I can go places without a diaper bag. But I DO love the smell of Johnson's Baby soap. I suppose every stage has it's pros and cons!
Tess, I am glad you had a great hike and you enjoyed time with your family.
Congratulations, B.J.!
I hear what you are saying about kids getting older and starting to pull their own weight. My youngest is three and a half, but there is a big difference now that he can cruise on his bike. Can't wait for the hiking phase you are in. Great photo!
Perfect description of lil' baby bums!
Oh, I just love the picture! How fun! I hear you on the 'everyone pulling his own weight.' It's such a pleasure to take a long bike ride with my kids. No whining, no stopping, just gliding along at the same speed. Magical!
Baby bums! Maybe I'll have to incorporate a baby bum into my bum week posts. One word - so many meanings!
Congrats to BJ!
Girl, you had a terrific 4th. What beauty. Mine was great too. First, I love to ride my horses, second comes hiking. I love to be out there looking at everything God made. The waterfall looks breathtaking.
Good luck on your writing today. :)
YAY BJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw, I'm sorry I missed the contest! But congrats to the winner. :)
Staying "in the moment" is tough. It's so easy to remember when or look ahead to... Your hike looks fabulous! What a beautiful spot.
Congrats BJ. Fun hike!
Tess, I'm glad you had a wonderful weekend. I love that idea of everyone pulling their own weight. I love teamwork!
Congratulations to BJ!
random.org? What happened to having your beautiful kiddos select the winner? Or your dog? :)
Very lovely picture! And congrats BJ!
Gorgeous picture! And as someone who is currently enjoying the tiny bums of little ones stage, I have to say there is a part of me that looks forward to when my baby gets older and we can get out and explore the world more easily.
I totally get it when your kids are grown up enough to do stuff. It's like heaven! Congrats BJ!
Ooooh pretty waterfall. :) And congrats BJ!
Thanks for the comments, guys. It was a great weekend and I hope you all had fun, too.
Congrats, BJ! I got your e mail and will send that gift card out tomorrow.
Congrats BJ.
Wow, I'll be glad when all of my children can operate under their own steam. Insert wistful expression. :)
