Weekend at Nana's

The boys had a great time playing outside in the gorgeous weather and playing some games indoors as well.


Papa was a trooper and played 'memory' w/ the boys until his head hurt! :) Not to mention he held down the fort while Nana and I went to the Adult Session of Stake Conference. AND kept the kiddos safe from the pack of Javelenas that came through the property!! (We saw them on our way home and hurried to grab the boys to tell them the javalena were down the street... they had already seen them, but we piled everyone in the car to take another look) Exciting night, peeps!


Poor dog. The things she deals with.


Often times when we stay down, everyone ends up piling in Nana's bed in the morning. I love it. Here she is reading them a story on her kindle. I started feeling 'yucky' mid-day and was able to sleep the ENTIRE afternoon and then Marilyn sent me on my way with the fixin's for SOUP.

I am thankful for loving hands and hearts that help me heal! Nothing sleep and soup can't cure! Yummy. Find this recipe HERE or a similar version HERE.

WAY BACK in Summer, after the boys' got out of swim lessons, we headed down South for a little R&R and pool time. It was a great mini-vacation!!

Jess never tired of playing with the boys... (love him. I did!)


Wyatt. Always the 'test' subject. He's the brave one.


THEN Brock decided to go. :)



Loved my little fish.



Let me back in! Oh, we had to watch this one!



Building friendships. Love it when they play so well and have a good time.



Um. All knees and elbows, this boy. Love how gangly his is.


Brock was the king of the cannon ball. (always yelled it like in the Sandlot)



Wyatt never stopped making us laugh with his pool entrances. :)



Underwater shot!


Brock busting out the peace sign... although not sure he meant to. :)


It was a SPLASH.


Resting in the hotel bed, watching the tube after a day of swimming. Isn't that the best?

October flew by (like this entire year has!)

Few pics from the past month-

I took the boys up to Snowbowl after school one day to see the fall colors. (Such a pretty drive) The Aspen's were gorgeous!

Man, it was chilly then! We've had such a warm week this past week and it's been SOOOOOOO welcomed! I've been wearing SHORTS people! :)

Brock cracks me up.



Nana & Papa came up again for the boys' Primary Program. They did an awesome job. Afterwards we came home for lunch and Papa busted out the picture books to look at with the boys. This is one of their favorite things to do.


Homework time! Brock actually likes this. He's a cheeser.


Bodie used to like it... not so much anymore. He's putting on a happy face here. :)


Pre-Halloween festivities: Carving the pumpkin.
We only got to one this year. They thought the insides were pretty gross. :) Bodie carved this one all by himself! (Probably because Brock didn't really care to, and I wouldn't let Wyatt near the little carving tools! He's crazy.)


AT THE TRUNK or TREAT-
Brock: Vampire/Count Dracula; Bodie: motox racer; Wyatt: Ghost


My parents came to the trunk or treat and surprised the boys. It was pretty funny. It took them a minute to compute that they were seeing Grandma...as a WITCH. (she has been every year since I can remember. LOVE it!)

Grandparents Day

Today Bodie's school had Grandparents Day. Nana and Papa were able to come up for it! They played in class for a bit and then opted to go out to lunch rather than stay at school to eat. (looooooooooooooooooooooong line)


Lucky kiddo.


Man, it was a FRIGID day!!!


I need this lady to come up and play with ME for a few DAYS. :)
