Pictures…

I don’t know what it is about ducks, but my boys can not resist them! Gabe spent the entire park trip trying to catch one. At least Josy just looks at them, but if he’s acting like his brother, that won’t last long…



Lucy makes it really hard to brush your teeth.



We were supposed to meet a friend for coffee. Josy was perfectly happy with this plan.



He insisted on scraping my windows.



“Mom! Come take a picture of us!”



This was too sweet not to take a picture of. Goodnight prayers with Daddy.



There was a pajama party at school, so Josy got to bring Blanket, Unicorn and Dump Truck Pillow. But it was also pouring and he needed to keep everyone dry.



You know it’s a long day at school when you fall asleep in the car. I don’t remember the last time he did that! And Gabe want too far behind him. Apparently it was a long week.





I decided to clean out Gabe’s bedroom. I kicked him out of his room for an entire Saturday and went through everything. I throw away a whole bunch of stuff and reorganized all of it. It feels so much better!! But I also found all sorts of fun stuff. I found 11 eye patches, all with working elastic. And I found a balloon, with air still in it, from Pat’s birthday three years ago…



Before…



… After



Nothing like going for a run and making a pit stop for some puddle stomping.



Jessica and I went out for a last lunch together. We’ve only been friends for 14 years and I can’t believe she’s leaving!!!



“Mommy, me drive da car and you sit in my carseat.” Spoiler alert: I did not fit nicely in his carseat.



Pat was out of town for work and it was the last day for crepes, so we definitely needed to get crepes for dinner.



They decided that the bear was named Daddy Bear and he was reading the Bible.



“Me a cary (scary) spider!”



“Me talking to Macom on da phone. Be kiet! (Quiet)!”



Apparently Freddy wants to go to school???



“Mom, take my picture!”

Well, how could I not take a picture of that cute face…

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

Utah/California: Day 3

This morning we went to IHOP for some pancakes. Gabe picked the Scary Pancake, which he thought was delicious. Josy, who is very excited to hang out with Bella, informed the waitress that “her name is Bella and she’s our lovely sister!” The waitress thought he was the cutest thing she’d ever seen. Then we made it way to Bryce Canyon. We stopped in Red Canyon got a photo stop (and bathroom break…). Then we got to Bryce Canyon, which was amazing!! We stopped at one of the random lookouts before hitting the amphitheater. We hiked from the Bryce lookout to Inspiration Point, which ended up being about 3.5 miles, round trip. The two big kids did great. Josy struggled. His legs were tired and he was in pain. But he struggled along and ended up with a few shoulder rides. At one point Pat told him that he was “the Little Engine that Could.” He said no, he was “the Big Engine that was sore.” Gabe found a lizard that he insisted on taking a picture of. Then we headed back to town and had dinner
