Heroes

Sometimes, when tucking my little man in bed I find the most wonderful things!  I hope one day, maybe twenty years from now, he'll look back on times together playing with fondness.  I sure hope so!

The harder way to do church...

Today Emmie had a little harder time in church.  Nothing seemed to go quite right, but sure enough; after enough time she was excited to get into class!

Riding to the gym

Kids finally convinced me to let them both ride with me to the gym.  We were dancing in the car, blaring music loud, having an awesome time!  After a few minutes I finally decided to snap a few pictures of them from the rear view mirror, and they were hilarious...

And then we finally got a serious smile!

Go Will!!!!

Emmie loves cheering for Will at his baseball games!

Playing at Station Park

Today Jamie had her birthday date with Aunt Whitni, so I met up with the kids at Station Park after going to the gym.  They were hilarious!  We went to the candy store first, because, well, that's just what you do!  Then we were off to the playground.  Due to the fact it was 10:30, the place was nearly empty.  

At first the kids loved it.... But then they realized its a lot more fun with more people playing.  So we checked out the awesome water fountain!  Kids loved it!!

Fathers and Sons

This weekend was fathers and sons for our ward.  Our campground was by Lost Creek reservoir up Weber Canyon.  This would be both Will and Also my first fathers and sons trip!  Kind of fun!

Will fell asleep on the drive up even though he tried his hardest to stay with it!  He just kept staring at the road and saying nothing as he got more and more tired!

We stayed nice and warm in our tent, and because we woke up early (to go pee), we decided to eat our leftover crackers, marshmallows and cookies in bed as we joke about silly things that six year olds say.

Will spent the morning by the fire with some friends doing what boys do; pike the fire all morning long!

View from the camp was pretty amazing as will and I went for a hike with some newfound buddies.

The day ended by running through all the "secret passages" that are so convenient for a kid but utterly painful for an adult to navigate!  Lots of fun though!  We ended with a skipping rocks across te stream before heading home.  Will had the fun time of a rock skipped off of his head as well! :)  Good times all around nonetheless!

Bike Ride and Donut Faces!

One of the things I love about our neighborhood is the 7-11 nearby.  Will absolutely loves riding bikes there in the summer to get donuts, and this morning was no exception!

Will was gracious enough to let the ladies join us this time.  Emmie was so protective and possessive of "my mommy!!" 

Will, at the loss of maple bars in the donut stand, went for a tasty fritter!

Emmie started with a standard glazed donut but opted for mommy's m&m cookie... Or rather the m&ms off of moms cookies.  She went in to vacuum mode when we said we had to go. 😄

Only way to do church

There is really only one way to do church in my opinion; on the grass outside!  Emmie agreed today and we had an epic time playing in the grass.  She made me tea out of the leaves and we giggled in the grass.  I guess some people talked about churchy stuff inside... I don't know; I was too busy enjoying one of my life's greatest blessings!
