A couple of weeks ago we participated in Relay For Life with the American Cancer Association. Although I'm not quite sure the kids *really* got what we were doing this for, it was a good experience. Lance and I enjoyed the few laps we got in and decided that next year we're getting a babysitter and walking the evening away. There's something about walking that really allows for great conversation.
The kids got to have their first snow cones that evening. I know, I know. We are TERRIBLE parents - how could we have waited this long to give them snow cones?!
I think Cole has already forgiven us.
I like that his smile matches his eyes and shirt.
Tessie did pretty well, considering it was pretty warm and past her bedtime.
Cole is going through a crazy growth spurt. He's eating enough for three kids and sleeping a ton. You can tell he's not quite used to his ever-growing size because he's always falling at about every 20 steps. He has these huge puppy feet that keep tripping him up. Mark my words, the youngest brother is always the biggest! As you can see, his forehead felt the results of one of these falls.
My garden is growing and doing great! Well, except for the green beans. Something (I suspect rabbits) keeps going out there and chomping on them. But only one little section right in the middle, which is very strange. Well, if the rabbits have to eat something, I guess I'd rather it be the beans than the tomatoes. I have a bajillion tomatoes on the vines right now and I'm just aching for them to ripen!!
I'm not sure what the kids were doing that day, but they stood out there looking at the garden for a good 15 minutes. Future horticulturists, perhaps?
I've been trying to get Tess to switch over from a bottle to a sippy cup. Don't let the photo fool you. Things went well for a day or two, but then she got sick and started getting around 39 teeth at the same time and decided she wanted nothing to do with the sippy cup. So oh well, no biggie. I'm torn - should I get her to switch before our trip to UT, or should I just wait until after? In the grand scheme of things I guess it doesn't really matter...
It's been HOT lately. Oppressively hot. I walked outside the other day and the humidity was so high it felt like I couldn't breath. This is perfect weather for the kid wash! The kids sure were excited to get it out and played with it for a good hour. Notice how yellow the grass is - it's been so dry here lately. It's like living through a Utah drought again.
Pigtails sure are cute. But they're also a pain to put in when Tess won't hold still. She also likes to rub them out. Doesn't she know that she's much easier to have patience with her when she looks so dang cute? Especially when she's a super-grouch from all the teething and having a cold and such? Apparently not.
