Our typical night

Bath, jammies, popcorn and a movie. It's always a good time. They were so into the movie Land Before Time that they didn't even notice me :)

White towels with blue spots

What happens when there is a blue crayon in the dryer full of towels? This...

Sunday events

On Sunday, Ezra almost gave Aaron and I a heart attack so I thought I should record it so we can remember such a lovely event. Ha! We were at church and it was during sacrament. Ezra asked if he could go get a drink. This is becoming a weekly thing but for the most part he will go and come right back so we said yes. On his way back in, Lincoln sees him coming in and goes to meet him. So, Ezra turned around and headed back out in the foyer and naturally Lincs followed. Aaron got up to go get the kids and when he got out in the foyer Lincoln was there but Ezra wasn't. Aaron thought he just ran down the hall so he went looking down there and could find him. He looked around for a few more mins and still couldn't find me. So Aaron came and told me we have a minor problem, I can't our kid. Being the awesome mom I am, I didn't get up because I thought he was just in the bathroom or something. After about 5 mins, I decided maybe I should go see what was going on. Aaron and I looked in every room and outside twice. Then we recruited a few people to help us look. After about another 10 mins of looking, I started getting a little nervous. Where the heck could he have gone? I thought maybe he straight up left and starting walking home. We searched the church EVERYWHERE multiple times by multiple people and nothing. Now, I will admit, after so many of us were searching for 20 mins I may have teared up a little bit. I started thinking the worst. What if some weirdo came in the church and took him or what if he is wondering the neighborhood. Yeah, what if. I was about to get in my car and drive around the neighborhood and we have a police officer in our ward that we were about to get out of sacrament to help us and that's when we find him. One of the young women in our ward found him in the Primary room behind the piano. Don't worry, I looked there earlier and so did Aaron but we didn't see him. Can you guess what he said when we asked him what the heck he was doing there? I wanted you to find me. Ummm.... we weren't playing hide-and-go-seek!!! Oh, I wanted to play. I wanted to beat the child! Grrr... I guess we can laugh about it later but for now, I'm still a little pissed about it. Sometimes I wonder what goes on inside that head of his. I love my kids to death and the thought of anything ever happening to them is horrible. The things we go through as parents :)

Oh and this little guy is making my hair thin out even more if that's possible. I don't welcome you terrible 2's. Please make your visit brief. I miss my sweet little boy. Thanks.

I am happy

I am happy. I really am :) and these handsome boys are the reason for my happiness :)

A Little Red Rock Relay Action

Sooooo fun! Aaron and I ran the Red Rock Relay. It started in Brian Head then we headed through... Mammoth, Duck Creek, Navajo Lake, down Cedar Breaks (scary to run down), Cedar city, Enterprise, other small towns I don't know, then through Snow Canyon, St. George, Washington, La Verkin and we ended right by the Zion's National Park entrance in Springdale. It was a total of 186 miles. We had 12 people on our team and two vans. It took our team 31 hours of none stop runnin to finish. Aaron and I were in Van 1 AKA the Snow van. It's called that for a reason. We got to Brian Head at 7:30 in the morning and it was feakin freezing! I think my van registered it in the 30's. YIKES!!! Then van 2 was the sun van because they were running in the heat of St. George and it was upper 90's. YUCK! I will definitely be doing this again next year. So worth the no sleep and super sore body for 2 days after. Here is a picture overload of our running extravaganza...

Our van was AWESOME!

Finally!

I finally get to put that oh so awesome first day of school photo on my blog. I feel so special... and this is how our morning went... Ezra crying because he HATES collar t-shirts and buttons. And Aaron and I pulling out our bribery skills to calm him down. Slurpee wins!

No, he isn't showing off his sweet back pack. This is him not wanting to take a picture.

He finally turned around long enough for me to take a picture. Awwww...

Feels good

We've been enjoying this beautiful weather. Have you?
