It's Christmas in July!

Didn't it snow at your house?

So yesterday morning my house was spotless. I mean floor scrubbed, carpets vacuumed, toilets sparkling the works. Then these two little men entered the scene. I got this cool new cake plate that had foam packing material to keep it safe. I turned around to take care of the baby and then I get, "Look Mom it's Christmas!" Christmas for who I think? You can not imagine the mess everywhere. The picture doesn't even do it justice. Therefore, I thought of the quote on my fridge from Sister Hinckley (also on my blog) about laughing or crying. I choose to laugh and take pictures and wait till Tad got home to clean it up. Good call!

For family home evening this week we went on a hike with some friends. It was great fun. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.

Yup you see it... TWO boys watering the plants. I'm 2 for 3 so far! Yahoo!

T-Ball, Family Reunion, and Cuteness!

Austin had been playing T-Ball and boy do we love watching him play ball. Our favorite is when he gives us thumbs up from out on the field:) We love to watch him get so excited when he hits the ball, attempt to slide, give his coach 'hard' high fives, and run fast around the bases.

Luke will periodically ask if you would like to see his belly.

Well, would you like to see his belly?

Here are some pictures of the 4th of July family reunion. What is camping without some cool light pictures taken by Dad. (For those relatives that were present I will soon e-mail pictures of your families- be patient though:0) )

We loved all of the help from my siblings with the boys. I don't know if the boys would have played bingo if it wasn't for them. Only Markie is shown in this picture but the other three were equally as loved.

Excellent bingo prizes still enjoyed by the boys.

My sweet man making balloon animals. I love his talents and I'm not afraid to offer them hehe.

Here is Heber's contraption. Cute diaper.

Like Father, Like Son

Look how much the baby has grown. I don't think this child could be loved more. All during Sacrament meeting Tad had to ward off the boys from kissing him too much. Look at those feet fly. He is just simply a delightful little man!

Finally for my favorite picture. Here is a picture that Austin drew at church yesterday. I didn't know he could draw like that. It is a temple (with Angel Moroni). For a boy that I have to beg to color, I was super impressed.
