Kathy's Cabin

Our neighbor and Will's babysitter treated us to a weekend get away up at her cabin in Oakley, Utah. It is absolutely gorgeous up there and you can't help but just relax. My little Will seemed to grow up this trip with driving this little jeep and going on the four wheeler.
He just figured out if he pushed the gas pedal it goes. He kept saying, "Noisy,loud,jeep. Will is fast." He continues to love a good adrenaline rush!

The airplane swing. "Higher, way up, Dad."

This is the Weber River right out in front of Kathy's cabin. Will and Cody spent some good time swimming...and Ellie too.

The four-wheeler..."go some more, Dad."

Will was exhausted at 10:30 AM because he was up and ready to go at 5 AM that morning. He actually fell asleep while Cody was driving?! We took a lot of pictures because we never get to see Will sleep. If you open his door to check on him he pops right up and says, "Upstairs, let's play toys." Look at the angel face!!

Cody cut his hair the other day because he wanted, "Spikes like, Dad."

Here I am soaking up my little guy with a little snuggle time on the front porch swing. It is so rare this guy stops moving and I can probably count on one hand the number of times he has fallen asleep in my arms....it felt so good and it was worth the 5 AM wake up for this moment. Will, I love you so much!

Thanks for loving our Will, Kathy! It is so nice to go to work and know your little one is so loved. Will usually can't wait until I am out the door to go hang out with Kathy!

Cody turns 32!!

Happy 32nd Birthday, Cody!! Will had a great time celebrating and was so cute when he shouted so clearly, "Happy Birthday, Dad!!"
We got together with our neighbors and had party hats, balloons, presents, and chocolate chip mint ice cream cake from BR. And Shann brought Will a huge lollypop!

Love these two!

Licking the frosting off first!!!

Pergola Builders Inc

I have had a BLAST building a pergola on our back deck and even more, having Will my side kick help. He has been quite enthusiastic at certain moments (as seem below) and rather disinterested at others. I can't wait to work on more things with him as he gets older...I think he is going to really enjoy little projects, and with him participating, it will be ideal for me.

Favorite quotes

Here are some of my favorite Will quotes:

When I go to work, I always say to Will, "Mom is going to work with Dr. ____ today and will be back soon." The other day I put my work clothes on and Will said, " Mom work with Dr. Seuss?"

Will was coloring today with a black marker and said, "Black licorice?"

Ellie slobbered on the sidewalk the other day and Will said, "Slug, slimy."

Will was coloring with a brown marker and said, "Sea horse, brown."
