Cade and his stroller

So after the circus we went to Gateway. We let the boys play in the water fountains and then we had lunch. Cade wasn't too sure about the water until later. But Gage and Will loved playing in the water. We ran into Build-A-Bear, because the boys wanted to, and Cade found this stroller. He ran circles around the store with it. When we left, I got bit, kicked and he was screaming. We went and got ice cream and on the way out we had to pass Build-A-Bear again. Cade ran right into the store and got the stroller. He was all ready making a round. I carried him out again (same circumstances as above). When we were far enough away I put him down and he ran right back in. This time I bought it. The lady was nice enough to open it for us. He pushed his stroller all the way to the car. He gave his four-wheeler a ride. Grandma and I had to fight him to let go of it to cross the street. Needless to say, the stroller has been pushed all around my house all day.

The Circus

Yesterday, the boys and I went to the circus with Grandma DeeAnn and Will. It was so much fun. The boys loved the circus. We also went to Gateway and played in the water fountains. Here is a picture of the elephants and the tigers.

10 Things a Mom Did Today Tag

Ten Things a Mom Did Today That Nobody Will Notice. . . . .



1. Wash comforters. A Mom is the only one that would pay attention to this detail.
2. Wash the shower. Doesn't taking a shower in it count? lol
3. Plan menu for the week. I am always looking for healthy fun snacks. It would be best if they looked and tasted like marshmallows.
4. Water all the house plants.
5. Play refree- everyday!
6. Picked my battles with an almost 2 year old. How many times a day can he marshmallows? Can he jump on my bed?
7. LAUNDRY
8. Play games with Gage and Cade. Mario Cart, Wii Fit, and puzzles are our current favorites.
9. Wipe off the kitchen counter about 4 times a day.
10. Finally, read stories and tuck kids into bed-Woo Hoo!!

I would think some of these are noticed. I tag Melissa and Noelle.

Happy Birthday Mom/Grandma!!

Lake Powell

We went to Lake Powell for a week. We had lots of fun. The house boat was being repaired so we got to see it out of the water. It was huge. Gage is so tiny compared to it.
We found a shady spot and stayed there for the whole week. We only had sun in the morning. It made a very nice camping spot. Gage caught the first fish of the trip. It was a catfish. Bailee later caught a huge suckerfish.
The toys were having problems, but we found lots of fun things to do. The boys played in the water and the sand, rode the toys when they ran, shot BB guns, and just enjoyed each other. Gage was even jumping off a small cliff and swimming by himself (with his lifejacket). He stayed by us but it was soo cool to see him swimming. Cade even enjoyed floating in the tube while we pulled it. Remember when Gage sat in it in 2006? Cade didn't sit, he had to stand up. It was cute and funny.
One day while Kirt was napping Doreen painted his toenails a bright red. It made for some very pretty toes. My picture does not do it justice.
It was a great trip.
