once in a blue moon...

...BOTH kids take naps at the same time. So instead of sitting on the couch in shock like I normally do, I am trying to be productive and catch up on a ton of pictures and events. Like Lily eating blue candy in her white Sunday dress. This is what happens when I leave Adam alone with the kids to go visiting teaching.
Jackson and Henry - precluding the week of hell in St. George that I didn't talk about much on here because honestly I don't think I will ever think it is funny.
Work on the back yard begins (back in March)! Mckay was so awesome to come up and help Adam take out the deck.
And here it is all cleared out - there was about 40 huge beer bottles and tons of garbage underneath - so nasty.
Free babysitting! Jackson and sometimes Lily were so entranced with the workers back there - especially when the little mini tractor made an appearance.
And finished! It is much greener now, and we absolutely love it! Our yard is 3 times as big now, and I still have my vegetable boxes.
National Bring Your Son and Daughter to Work Day. I took advantage again, and was so impressed with how good they were for the ~2 hours we were there (I made sure there wasn't too much work to do before I brought them).
Of course drawing is always a favorite - Jackson was COVERED in highlighter on his shirt and stomach. Lily loved the balloons from Diane and Jackson was very excited he could reach up to desks and get down scissors and staplers. Fun toys!

Adam graduated! Now he has a nifty Masters hood. Pretty cool. He was super happy to not have to go to school anymore - I am still holding out to fully celebrate once he passes his CPA tests.
Here's the hard worker with his favorite cheerleaders, although Lily looks a bit unhappy because it was raining.
Date night at the Jazz Playoffs in Salt Lake. Can I just say I love having other people put my kids to bed. (every so often)

All fun stuff! I didn't know you went to a jazz playoff game. Kurt will be jealous.

So fun to see!!!! Love it when you post, Sabe! Your kids are so so adorable. I can't believe how much has happened since St. George. (And I think it was funny - just too in-credible.)
