Boating Season is Here!

We went boating today up at East Canyon. This is my 2nd time up this year and it's Ty's 4th. We went with some neighbors and had a great time. Kyle just LOVES riding on the tube. He has a grin from ear to ear. He even does "stunts" on it like lift his feet up in the air or do it no handed for a bit. It is amazing to see how far this little kid has come. He use to be so insecure and scared but now he just literally jumps into things! I'm so proud of him. Shawn tried to kneeboard. He didn't quite get on though and fell off the board but kept holding on to the handle. SO he got dragged by the boat for a few feet. I went out on the tube and had a blast. I want to thank my loving hubby for not dunking me. Ty is a natural on the wakeboard and kneeboard. At one point when he was wakeboarding, he took down his swim shorts and revealed his speedo. He stuck his bum out at a fishing boat that we passed. Those guys laughed and waved. It was a great day. It was cold and rained a little but it was fun!

Nick and Cody

Random Pictures that I have Meant to Put on But I Haven't Had the Time or Interest Until Now!

Cute Cody is always mostly happy. His two bottom teeth are still jsut breaking the surface.Cute nICk. What a trouble maker. He likes playing with his poop.
He likes to feed Woody a bottle and then put him to bed.
So cute.

Does he look like he's thinking of a way to mess the house up?

Or is he thinking how to make Kyle cry?

Or is he thinking how late he's going to stay up?

Or is he thinking which beverage he will spit all over the carpet?

Or is he thinking how to steal Cody's binkie?

I think he is thinking all those things. Shawn and Cody. Shawn is the best big brother!

Why do I even bother with baths?

This is what I live for!

Laundry Day

I was folding my usual 6 big baskets of laundry while the boys watched a movie. I was starting to think how this chore seems never ending and I was losing all hope for my sanity. Then.. out of nowhere... Shawn says, "Mom, you're really good at doing laundry!" Ohhhhhh! My heart melted! I said thank you and continued folding laundry. But the rest of the three hours it took to fold and put away the rest of the clothes I did it with my head held high. I knew Shawn atleast appreciated all my hard work. And I thought that even though I may think that my kids have no clue what I do for them, I know they need me and I need to be a good example for them.

Shawn's First Grade Program

Shawn had a program at school. I had to get there way early to get a good seat, like 40 mins before the show started. It's crazy. Anyway, he was some type of bird. He did really good at singing the songs and did well at his part.
He still goes around the house singing those songs.

Kyle's Riding without Training Wheels

One day, Kyle asked Ty to take off his training wheels. Ty did and I hurried adn got my camera so I could record this experince. Well, by the time I got out there he was already riding around like a pro! Ty says he just got on and rode with no problems.

We decided Kyle's bike was too small for him so we gave him Shawn's bike and Shawn got a new one for his bday.

Role Reversal

I was cleaning our closet and I noticed something funny. See if you can figure it out:

My Shirts: Ty's Shirts.
Ty probably has 10x as many shirts as I do. What is up with that? I thought girls are supposed to have more clothes. It's always been this way all through our marriage. It's funny. I try to get him to get rid of some but he has a hard time. Ugh. Just let it go! Oh, and about 90% of my shirts are from Aeropostale. I really like their clothes and I own stock in it. So help me make money and go buy stuff from Aeropostale!
