Back Yard Campout

This is what you do when you don't actually have a back yard to camp in...Hey, it works. The tent fit just right on the back patio. Sometimes you just have to get creative. Isn't Anthony such a good sport to do this with the boys?

Tyson

I never cease to get comments about my kids' hair, especially Tyson's. It is always something about how blonde he is and how soft his hair is. It is definitely a defining trait of his. This picture also reminded me of another picture I had seen somewhere if Tyson's hair was a bit longer...

Swimming

It's that time of year again for swimming lessons. My kids are getting to be such good swimmers, and they love their swim teacher. This was Tanner's first year, and he caught on pretty well, after the dramatic first time fears that all the little kids had.

Boating

Most of my family was together over Memorial Day weekend, and we decided to take the boat out since the weather was nice. I really failed to get many pictures (because most of the time I am either holding a baby or chasing after two boys), but I managed this short video of Anth and Tyson riding on the tube. It was a fun time, and we are looking forward to more days on the lake.

Father and Sons Campout

No one is really sure what happened...

but a 4 year old boy in the ward had a shovel.

and this was the result.

Other than that, they said they had a great time.

What good sports.

(don't mind the milk mustache, he was eating breakfast)

What a Goofy Bunch!

Well, our family vacation to Disneyland was very successful. Short, sweet, and inexpensive...and we all had a blast. The best part for me was getting to spend time with my little family without all the usual distractions.

The kids loved getting to meet Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy.

Newport Beach

It was a little chilly and very windy, but the kids didn't seem to mind. They loved playing in the sand.

I didn't plan on swimming at the beach so I didn't bring swimming suits. However, we were there less than 5 minutes before Tanner fell in the water and got all wet. He had to play in his underwear while his shorts dried.

More Pictures

My kids never cease to amaze me. They are so full of wonder and excitement for life. They are also full of questions. I use to think I was pretty smart until my kids started asking all kinds of never-ending questions that I can't seem to answer to their satisfaction. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be their mom and I am grateful for their questions because it gives me the chance to learn and grow along with them.
