Up to...
We've been having so much fun in Utah. Here's some of what we've been up to:
Gus took his first REAL bath in a tub and was in heaven. Poor third baby never had a chance when there was only Mommy watching three little kids. Now that Grandma is here to take care of the two stinkers, I think Gus's bath time will become a daily ritual. Almost every morning we make playdoh creations. Jack makes a lot of snakes and later we find them hiding all over the house. Max mixed red and green, his two favorite colors, together. Usually this would drive me totally bizerks, but I'm trying to be a fun mom and not let these kinds of things bother me. :) (Also, I can hardly stand doing water colors and seeing the yellow get all dirty when the brush isn't washed off properly. But I'm working on it.)
Grandma thinks of fun games like trying not to let the penny fall off the tour of flour. The boys did this over and over. So fun. (And please note two of the aforementioned blue snakes right next to Jack.)
We went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D. The boys loved it...and the popcorn. I can't give an accurate review since Gus kept me busy during his first theater movie with a blow out and plenty of fussiness.
We visited Great Grandpa and his famous backyard.
And we've really enjoyed spending time with this super fun family.One day we talked Andy into going down to the Rec Center to go swimming with us. Jack looked so funny with his hat and goggles, especially when he went under water and popped up with his hat draping over the goggles. Both boys loved it and can't wait for swim lessons to start soon!
But the best part of our stay in Utah has definitely been the backyard. We have picnics outside almost every day, swim in the blow up pool, go on "adventures" in the "tree house," and swing, swing, swing. Life is good.

Okay - if you are in Utah - we've got to connect! It has been so long since I've seen you, but I would love to drive up from Provo and see you and the boys!
