Sunday walk

T is obsessed with being outside, even when it's cold. It's a guarantee that when I bring him in, he'll cry begging to go back out.

Roswell NM

This week I spent some time in Roswell NM, famous for Alien encounters. Chalk that one off the list!

Feb 2013

Few pics of the day while Jas is away.
An attempt at a cute pic of the boys. Even if T is crying, he's still adorable.
T doing his comfort thing w K.
This story will wretch your heart: I was changing T & he was wiggly, I stood him up to look at our fam pic on his bulletin board. I asked,"where's Dadda?" He wiggled again, so I let him down. He went racing to Jason's office door, which was shut. He made his most earnest noise of "open this door." I did so, he went in & was looking for you. That was where Dada was suppose to he. Broke my heart. We miss Dada/Jason.

Snowbasin Yurt

It's President's Day--to celebrate we went up to Snowbasin w the cub scouts & families in our ward. The 1 mile hike in turned our to be at least 1.5 miles. Fine going down ( boys sledded down). Going up--another story.
We had fun eating treats, drinking cocoa & sledding. It was a bit short-lived, but still worth it. Trip back was slow & steady w Jas & I finally pulling boys in sled.
T slept on hike up, J fell asleep on car ride home & Jas fell asleep in chair afterwards. I'd call it a success!

Old man Jonas

So we're at the table yesterday when Jonas hops up from his chair and says, "I'm going poo. I'll see you in three hours."

Fast forward a couple of months. Jonas just came out and yelling with excitement, "Mom! Mom! I just farted and it sounded like fireworks!" Then he made the best sound impression he could.

Quotable moments, by Jonas Wright

I pulled out this card and read it to him.

Jonas shouted out, "London, oh ya baby!"

Another business trip

My job pulls me on the road for a couple of days each week. I am a bit of a road warrior admittedly. But without queation, Jenn's the real warrior in this story! She loves what she does but its no easy feat to hold down this fort! I know its exhausting and I love her for her many sacrifices!

Last week my travels took me to exciting places like Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska! Both popular tourist destinations. Here's a few picks from that trip.
Warren Buffets home. (My rep Anthony lives in the neighborhood)
A random T-Rex on the side of the freeway. Nothing unusual about that. (The boys liked that pic.)
And the Nebraska Corn-Husker stadium. Awesome site! Gonna have to make it to one of those games!

Snow cave

More progress with the snow cave.

Snow basin

Got the boys up on the mountain last week. It was so foggy at the top of Strawberry that we could barely see a few feet. Keat is pretty independent so he had me worried a few times. Jonas has been really improving. He can just about handle most of the blues now.

Night time

Night time routine. It's like the sprint to the finish after an Iron Man. We are super beat by the time we get these little guys down. And they seem like they have unlimited energy.

Chores

Our boys will do a lot for stars and money...sometimes.

Keat's Valentine

My first grader came home w quite the Valentines today--& we are still 3 days away from Vday. Several girls in his class gave him little notes--one with her phone number! Freaking out a bit, he's too young right?! Aaah! He is a cutie. We talked to the boys about that at dinner tonight, to make sure we are always kind to others. I added they couldn't kiss another girl (bedsides me) until they are 21 (;

This story gets even better. Keat was telling us that the girls were surrounding him in the corner and one girl wanted to kiss him. That was until one of the girls spotted the teacher coming. Keats stories are pretty entertaining. I like that he tells them to us.

T's hugs

Thad has the most amazing gift of wanting to comfort those who are sad. To add to the sweetness, he now loves to give long hugs. Jas & I just savor them (:
