5 Weeks (Yikes!)

The Chubbs is 5 weeks already as of yesterday!

Aidan was telling me the color of the flowers

Cary's pepper and tomato plants are coming alot quite nicely.

Valley

Kids again

Sometimes Mondays are just BLAH.
Today is one of those days

So I'm posting pictures instead of getting myself and the kids dressed

and forgetting that I have unpacking and cleaning to do

Boo.

In other news, Ella is smiling now

Here is a nice shot of her mohawk, and yes, Cary is a dork. :-)

Did you know?

Hand sanitizer, like Puricell or Germ-X, gets pen ink off a microfiber couch. Very important tidbit learned this week after Aidan decorated the couch.
We had an early morning meet up to try to beat the heat.

It sort of worked but it's still amazingly hot at 9:00 AM.

It atleast got this terror toddler out of the house for a few hours. :)

She's SO chubby. I love it.

By the way, you're not supposed to let babies sleep on the Boppy. It says so right on the pillow. So far this is the most use the thing gets, and I like to sit on it. :-)

P.S. If you missed it I've finally been posting on my cooking blog again. Woot woot.

BBQ @ Little Cottonwood

I need another weekend to recover from this last weekend.
I know, you're wondering why me, a stay-at-home-mom, needs a weekend in the first place.

I just do. I need Cary around to get much done these days.

If there isn't someone to occupy Aidan while I'm doing anything else, he's happily tearing our house apart and it currently looks like a bomb went off.

Yes, I could be cleaning right now...

BUT, both kids are napping and this is precious ME time! :)

Yesterday we headed up to Little Cottonwood Canyon for a BBQ with some family

Get away from the heat and stuff our faces with food

and sit around and visit, of course.

Josh, Kiera, Tara, Travis, and Cary

Picnic

The weather has been unbearably hot lately. Melanie decided we should go hang out in Mill Creek canyon, have a picnic, and let the boys play in the creek to cool down. She always has the good ideas. ;-)
Aidan decided to climb up the fire pit first thing and got black all over his face.

It was very pretty up there and we found a really nice picnic area

Aidan and Ethan were loving throwing rocks into the water

Sam just hanging out

Eating. Yay.
