It's beginning to look alot like...SUMMER!!!

 These two are the funniest of friends!  We walked down to get the mail the other day, and they WOULD NOT hold my hand!  So, I told them to hold each other's hands, and they did.  It was darling!  I still have to laugh at how much taller Sophie is than Jace!

 One of the days this week, I drew the kids a lovely Rapunzel tower.  They were impressed with my skills!

 Here are a couple of shots of Kaley from T-Ball this week.  She likes playing catcher, and tagging all the girls as they come running into home.  

 Tuesday night, we had the "late" game (meaning it starts at 7:30).  Our babies were so tired by the end!  I love how they still share bears and snuggles.  So sweet!

 Wednesday, we met KJ, Haley, Linz and Christina at the park for some more fun!  

 Bells and Ruby - I think it's crazy how much they look like each other!  Won't they make cute roommates one day?!

 Then, we went to the Smith's backyard and played while our pizza cooked.  The kids loved all the farm animals there!  

 Aw, can you believe we are all still BFFs?  :)  Linz (in purple) is getting married in July, and we are certain that Christina isn't far behind her!  :)  Ah, I love weddings!  

 After the park, I dropped the kids off at Grandma's.  They stayed the night, and had SO much fun!  Uncle Drew came and built Legos with the kids.  They were all so thrilled with their creations.

 (I didn't take any of these, so I'm not sure what's going on.  I'm sure it's just another attempt at getting both of my darling babies to look at the camera at the same time.  It's NOT easy!)

 Thomas looks a little possessed in this picture, but he is proud of his Lego creation!

 Everybody at our house loves to read stories!

 This morning, I needed an extra minute without babies running around, so I threw them in Sophie's crib for some twin time.  I loved what I found when I went in to get them!  I love Jace's foot up on the crib bar.  

Thankful Thursday

This week I am thankful for....

-Date night with Josh.  Josh had a conference in Midway at Zermatt Resort, and I went with him.  He was in meetings on Wednesday til 7, so I dropped off the kids at Grandma's and I went shopping in Park City!  All by myself!!!  I found a little salon, and got a mani/pedi.  It was completely glorious.  I started a new book, and enjoyed some quiet time in the car.  Josh and I spent the night in a super posh room at the Zermatt.  Josh brought me breakfast in bed from his conference meetings.  I found a little salon in Heber and got a hair cut. It was a completely lovely time!  Just what I needed!

-Sunshine!  This week is starting to feel a little more like Spring/Summer here!  We have played at the park, had picnics outside, and jumped on the tramp for hours at a time.  Just what we wanted to be doing!!!  :)

-Family Trips!  This week/next week we will be spending LOTS of time with family!  We are excited to go see Austin and the Cleggs this weekend for Austin's "farewell" talk in church.  We get to stay with Papa and Grandma, and that's always a blast!  Then, we come home from Jerome, just to do laundry and pack up again to spend a few days with the Cox side at Island Park!!!  We can't wait!  

"Boy's Camp"

 Josh took Thomas on our Annual Ward Fathers' and Sons' camp out this weekend.  They had a blast!  Grandpa even joined in on the fun!  

 Thomas:  "There were rocks there that I climbed all over.  And we saw some lizards there too."

  "Glowsticks that Grandpa gave me."

 "Me, wearing my glowsticks."

 "That's Me and Dad having a picture.  That's when me and Dad were sleeping.  Dad still had his clothes on, and I had on my jammies."

 "That's me, eating my bref-kist."

 "That is a toy that Grandpa brought.  It has a pink thing that you jump on and it makes a rocket go up 50 feet in the air!"

 "That's all the boys that wanted to play the game!"

 "I climbed on top of Grandpa's truck!  Hee hee hee!"

 "That's me on Grandpa's truck with my Grandpa.  Dad's taking the picture."

 "That's me with Dad on Grandpa's truck.  Grandpa is taking the picture with Dad's phone."

 "That's me on top of a lizard rock."

 "Some people built a fort around this lizard rock.  They made it for them, and it was so awesome.  They made a wall, a door, a path inside it.  They did everything!"

 "Me in the fort!"

 "That's me on top of a huge rock, where we saw some lizards!"

 "That's me sliding down to see a lizard that Dad saw."

 "I'm by Grandpa."

 "That's me climbing a rock."

 "That's me almost to the very top of the cracked rock."

 "There was a lizard in that crack."

 "We saw a lizard....but you can't really see it."

 "Me having a piggy back ride on Grandpa's shoulders."

"My favorite part was to go hunting for bullets in the mountains.  We had hot dogs for dinner, and Zach was cooking a pop tart.  He cooked a Starburst too.  He cooked all kinds of things in the fire.  He's funny!   We had boiled eggs with pancakes and orange juice for bref-kist.  And bacon." 

I hope you enjoyed Thomas' commentary on his pictures. :)  Since I wasn't there, I figured I let Thomas tell you about his "boy's camp" himself.  :)
