Thumb sucker

Little R has started sleeping through the night...So I thought. He wakes up in the middle of the night and instead of crying he just sucks on his thumb and goes back to sleep. I have never had a thumb sucker I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. All I know is I have gotten some good sleep lately. You can't beat a good nights rest.

I love Mom

Thanks J. You do my heart some good. I walked into my room the other day and found this on the ground. J is something else. She is always writing people thank you notes or making them birthday cards. She is so creative and thoughful.

Geode hunting

After 2 1/2 hours of driving, 50 miles of them were on a dirt road. It was worth it. There are thousands and thousands of these geodes. The kids really had a great time. It was like a great little treasure hunt that never ended. Note to self (don't go in the summer and get all you want because you will never want to drive out there again.) It was really really really far.

Brownies

Why is licking the bowl so much more fun than the actual making or eating of the brownies. I am not sure how it went from licking the bowl to a chocolate mess. They were having way to much fun.

Antelope Island

We went to Antelope Island hoping to see a bunch of hot air balloons take off. No such luck. It was still pretty fun. We ran into some old friends and we saw a few skydivers.

Loving our little one

It seems as if every time the kids sit down to hold the "Babe" as M refers to him, they want a picture taken. I think it is great. I have forgotten how fun having a baby is. He is such a sweet little guy and brings such a sweet spirit into our home. I am not saying it is all fun and games. I really get nothing done and feel like I am one step behind some days. I just keep reminding myself. This moment will never happen again... Enjoy it. It seems I have enjoyed this little guy so much. I love the picture of M reading a book to R. He loves him so much. Sometimes a little to much if you know what I mean:)
