On to SUMMER!!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Ethan, checking out his blue tongue on the LONG car ride back Oregon

We were able to go to Salt Lake to see family over Memorial Day Weekend

This is our newest little nephew Benson aka "little buddy" and "peach fuzz"

The boys really liked him. They also had fun with his sister Savanna aka "Sabesa" as Ethan called her. How did I not get any pictures of them together? They were cute little playmates. We also had a great time with tons of other cousins but I am so bad at taking pictures and keeping my camera with me that these are the only pics I got. Thanks Jeff and Britt for letting us stay and eat your food and thanks Kat and Steve and Scott and Jaime as well. One picture I wish I would have gotten was Ethan and Benjamin hugging before we left Alpine, it was really cute.

This is in Oregon, I just like the picture.

They were excited to go see Jesus

Ok, so to anyone reading this blog, I hope you are having a good day, and OK life and that times are not getting too hard for you! I keep reading/hearing about different people in different situations and I am sad! Many people that I know are going through some particularly hard times. I am so grateful for all the blessings that I have and I hope you can find some good to cling to if you are struggling. This economy stinks and some of the challenges we face do too but there is still a LOT of good in this world today!

Like my kids....these boys are so cute and fuuny. Yes, they can be naughty too but I won't go into detail really about that. Maybe I will actually....isn't fun to get the house all cleaned up and they just mess it all up again? What about when you are potty training a certain someone and when they have an accident they try and clean it up themselves before letting you know? And the way they let you know is by asking for a "new wag" and you look up and see brown all over their legs.
How about the child that is CONSTANTLY bugging others aroung him? Teasing, making fun of and just bugging people. It's so enjoyable.

We have a trampoline in our back yard and so do a couple of other neighbors but ours is the most popular and I have no idea why. Well, at the end of each day Brian or I go our there to check on the status of the yard and there are no joke like 10 pairs of socks and shoes lying around. Some are ours, some are neighbors. We live in a cul-de-sac and, counting our boys, there are 7 boys in three families. If any of them have friends over, which is often, there are more. It's insane! We do love it though. There are bikes, shoes, toys, popsicle wrappers, candy wrappers, sanck wrappers you name it all over all of the time. My kids LOVE it though. We all have a great time.

Depsite the things that bother me I try hard to enjoy it all! By the end of the day I am done I have to admit and I love the little bit of time I get after they go to bed to be with Brian or just sit by myself! Sometimes that time is only like 3-5 minutes. Once I stop, I fall asleep almost immediately. It's sad. Life with 3 boys will ware you out!

Baseball season is now over and summer is on. We are excited to move away from the crazy busy to the relaxation of summer....we'll see.
