Memorial Day at the Park

 Memorial Day the boys and I went on a picnic at the local splash pad park

 We had a blast playing in the water

 and getting cold once the water went off

Then we played on the swing set

 Noah is such a good big brother to Nicklaus, always Nick's sidekick and helping him out

 Then we found Riley! Riley has started to go to daycare and these boys miss her like crazy. Almost every night they ask when Riley does Riley get to sleep over can we call Riley.

telling Riley secrets

pulling an Aunt Lissa

 Riley wasn't to sure about going into the water at first. She got close and in true girl fashion started to cry about getting her hair wet! lol Then Nicklaus came and got her to come play with him

 And life was good!

 Then Noah found his twin!! These boys were so excited to see that they were matching! It was a true miracle!

 Nicklaus always seems to find trouble wherever he goes,

but he is ALWAYS very good about saying he is sorry. 

The hard part is remembering not to do it again! 

Aunt Jennie Raye had the day off to so she decided to join us at the park. I am so thankful to have a friend like her. Jennie Raye truely is amazing with my boys and loves and cares for them so much! 

And they LOVE Aunt Jennie too!

CAUGHT!

Utah Blessing Weekend

Melissa is the story teller. Devin is the fact recorder. I can do pictures. So check out our blogs if you want the full story of this weekend. Otherwise, here is my wonderful Utah weekend. 

Squishy bath

So my Noah is the perfect mark. Whenever he sees something on TV he HAS to have it. Doesn't matter what it is; oxy clean, ninjagos(? some kind of Lego looking ninja), hot wheels that go on the walls, today he was asking me if we had CLR and if we didn't we could go to Walgreen's and get some.

So when he saw squishy bath he knew that he would love it! So he has been begging me for months to get it and being the awful mom that I am, i refused. Finally he talked Grandma Wendy into getting him some, and it turned out NOT as cool as on TV.

Noah not too sure...

Pretty much you are adding the little diaper jelly absorber things to your bathtub. So all I could think about is that my boys are bathing in diapers. 

GROSS!

They were so excited to get out and rinse off in a shower! 

Now what to do with the other squishy boxes Grandma bought...

Campbell Soup Boys

So over at  CampbellShop.com they are holding a contest for the REAL Campbell Soup Kids Picture.
Of Course I had to submit my boys.
So Lauren (Collin's awesome cousin who came to stay with me this weekend) and I cleaned up my kitchen and took some pic of my cute monsters. Nick of course started crying. He hates people telling him he has to sit and eat ice cream. Okay he just hates people telling him what to do.

Don't you love pics of little kids crying??

The make the funniest faces sometimes, unlike adults who just look gross

Noah was a little HAM! He loves the camera!

He warmed up eventually...

practicing

Since FB isn't working right now I just wanted to upload this photo to my blog.

My good friend Erin took family pictures for us about a month or so ago and gave me all

the raw images that she didn't touch up (I love that girl)

So i decided I wanted to practice my photoshop skills. I LOVE how this one came out

and here is the original.

I just touched up the grass so you couldn't see I made the boys stand on sprinkler boxes and

then turned the photo Black and white and added the color retouch

And here I lost 5 pounds :-)
