Little Gems

I found these little gems on my phone this week. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did! 

Love this oldest child of mine. 

Bodyguards

I'm so lucky to have such cute bodyguards. 

Sleep tight

These two brothers are the best of friends and they like to sleep together. They were sleeping in each other's bed almost every night, so we pushed their beds together to see if they'd sleep in their own bed.  The answer is no, no it did not. 

The first night of the beds pushed together. 

Fell asleep holding hands. 

Early morning in mom and dads bed. 

At first I didn't want them sleeping together, but I figured soon enough they will grow out of it and be too cool to sleep with their brother. So we might as well enjoy the young innocence while it lasts. Sweet boys. 

Father's Day

Watching Scott grow as a father has been a privilege. From the first time I saw him and Tayden together, I knew he would be a good dad. That's not to say its been without struggle or heartache, but he never gives up and always gives his boys everything he can. I can not express my gratitude to Heavenly Father for sending me a partner that will teach my boys how to be good men. Here's to the hardest worker, best joke telling, most loving man I know. I love you desperately, Scott. Happy Father's Day. 

Week two

Going into week two of Scott's new job. Not only do I have access to him during the day, but he has been home by 4:30 everyday. 

Absolutely life changing and man oh man am I feeling blessed. 

June 6th

Did you know June 6th is national doughnut day? Did you know if you go to Krispie Creme on June 6th they give you a free doughnut? On top of the free sample they give you while you wait in line. Did you also know that during the first 2 weeks in June if you take a tie to KC you get a dozen glazed donuts for free? Yep. All true. We took advantage of the freebies and walked away with 22 free doughnuts tonight. 

We like the sixth day of June. 

Desert fishing

It's no secret that my boys love to fish. My mom told me about a great foam fish activity months ago and I am finally getting around to doing it. It consists of cutting foam craft sheets into the shapes of fish and putting medal brads in for eyes. Then make fishing poles with magnets for hooks. I decided to make a day of it and let's the boys help with the whole process.

We stopped at hobby lobby for our supplies and set home to let the fun begin. I unloaded everything on the table and we got to work. The boys loved coloring and cutting the fish. It kept the busy for almost an hour and a half. 

Most of our finished product. 

After practicing inside, they were ready to get their fish into water. We filled up our little pool in the backyard and got fishing. 

The magnets I picked weren't quite strong enough, but the boys still had fun. When Scott got home, he informed the boys we had better magnets and we could update the fishing pools in the morning. 

The next morning rolled around and the first thing Tayden talked about was getting out the stronger magnets. So we did. And they worked great. The minute breakfast was over the boys were out fishing. All morning long. I eventually had to pull out the shade umbrella to protect them from the harsh Nevada sun. 

And after mean mom made them come in, they went fishing in the bath tub. 

Pardon caches nakey bum. The minute he hears the bath running he strips his clothes and runs for the water. 

This new fishing game has proved to be quite entertaining!
