Conversations

This baby makes me smile all the time. We have pretty funny conversations so I thought I would share a few.

Conversation 1: Walking out of the grocery store
Me: Ethan, I love you.
Ethan: I love you more!
M: No, I love you more!
E :No, I love you all the way to heaven.
M: (Huge Smile)

Conversation 2: Playing at the park
Ethan blowing a dandilion
M: Make a wish
E: I wish, I wish to go to the temple someday.

Ethan has such a sweet spirit about him, it is very contagious. He is so wonderful I don't know what I would do without that little man.

Camping, Stout Style

A couple of weekends ago we decided to go camping Stout style. We invited Joe, Suzie, and their kids up to camp with us.

We pitched our tents , set up the fire pit, and got our hot dogs ready to roast.
The kids played on the play set and chased each other around while we finished eating. It was so fun to hear them all laughing and having a good time together.


Aaron and Ethan slept outside and Landon and I slept inside. I don't thing either of them slept very well because at about 10am Ethan was asking me if he could go and take a nap, which never happens, usually he is trying to talk his way out of one.
It was a fun evening, maybe next year we will go camping in the mountains and go exploring.

Playing at the Bay

Before Aaron started his new job we went to play at Willard Bay with our good friends the Snows. The boys love water, mud, and being outside so it was a perfect day. We brought our shovels and buckets and were ready to play.




The kids had a great time riding in the Snow's boat. The kids were pulled around in a raft and it was so cute to see them smiling and having a fun time.



It has been about 5 years since I have been out on the water. I am usually very good at water skiing and wake boarding but I had a little difficulty this time. It was very fun to be out there again though, and I hope that I will be able to go out again.







Thanks for such a fun day Aaron, Roger, and Corene. We really need to do it again.

Swim Lessons 2011

Ethan ROCKED his swim lessons this year. He was so brave and did everything his teacher asked him to do. He put his head all the way under the water, blew bubbles while doing swim strokes with his teacher, and jumped off the side of the pool to his teacher.

We put Ethan in a class with his friend. They had a great time swimming together and it was so cute to see them swimming. I can't believe they are both 4. Time sure goes by quickly.
On the last two days of his swim lessons Ethan jumped off the diving board. I was so proud of him. He was so brave and never even thought twice about doing it. I am very excited to see what he does next year.
Way to go Ethan, you BRAVE little man.

Jackson Hole

We took a little trip up to Jackson Hole to go on a rafting trip. I got a good deal on City Deals for the trip. I was so excited because I was looking for a fun inexpensive trip for us to take, but when I started looking for a place to stay I was floored at how expensive it was to stay there. Luckily Aaron found us a place to lay our heads for not to much. We went with Joe and Suzie and had such a fun and relaxing weekend.


The rafting trip was fun and Aaron and Joe kept us entertained with all their jokes.


We ate at the Bar J Ranch and saw a fun show.


We also had a fun time walking around the shops and buying things for the kids. The boys were happy to have us back but when I asked Ethan if he missed me he said NO! I guess that means I am ok to take another little vacation with just Aaron. Where are we going honey?
