Peanut butter and jam sandwiches. I left the room for a minute - you'd think I would get suspicious of silence a lot faster than I do. But still. This picture kind of embodies for me the fact that my kids can do quite a lot on their own and have fun and play together and are happy without me. It is awesome in a bittersweet way.
Lily started dance classes! So cute. She is getting so big and it's so fun to see her jump around in ballet/tumbling. She starts preschool in a few weeks and we are both so excited! She is going to do awesome as she responds fantastically to
other authority figures.
Jackson set up his 'bed' outside one night. We spend most of the afternoon shade every day out front so he probably thought this was the next probable step.
For July 4th we went to Lava Hot Springs and visited Grandpa Ronald and Zelpha with Nate, Mckay, Matt and family, and Terrel. I love love love having family visitors. The boys went on a bike ride in the morning and we had a big breakfast when they got back. Also Matt and Jana moved to West Jordan so we're excited to have more family close!
Cub Scout Camp at Camp Kiesel! Here is "Kong's Fortress" as Scott put it. I finally have a grasp of this calling and I am absolutely loving it. This place was so beautiful and the activities were lots of fun: row boats with lots of water splashing; BB gun shooting (I hit 3 out of 4 targets!); and others. The boys had so much fun and I am now a huge fan of the Venturing program in Scouts.
Here are most of us with our Wolves and Bears.
We finally made it to the zoo. Adam has been wanting to take the kids forever. Unfortunately this Carousel shot shows the last happy moments we had. After it was done Lily threw a major tantrum to go again and ended up screaming all the way out of the park, to the car, and to where we went out for lunch. Wow.
But the kids really loved it and it was a blast seeing them get so excited about the animals.
Ogden Pioneer Day Rodeo! We went with the Cub Scouts this year as we got in free with our uniforms. I can't get enough of those Ogden mountains. Also you can see a bit of Lily's tattoo. The Sunday before she gave her first talk in Primary (with Adam's help - she specifically requested him) and for some reason I can't fathom he put this tattoo on her arm right before.
Here are a few shots of our Cubs getting ready for the flag ceremony.
Jackson was pretty happy for the most part - check out those dimples.
But he can pull a pretty good pout as well.
Traveling to St. George - Adam and I were laughing so hard at Jack who was still doing the motions to lick his sucker even though he was beyond exhausted.

That was a fun post. Look at you in your scout uniform. hehe Your kids sure are cute. I can't believe Lily is starting preschool. And she's adorable in that leotard. I love that shot of jackson with his sucker- hilarious.
(p.s. is that home made bread? I need to try that this week.)
Cute post. Cute kids. And great that you are in scouts. I use to be a Wolf den leader but then we moved out here to OH. And I hear ya about the kids playing together so well. My older two just love each other and play all day long. And now that Kassidi is walking she is trying to catch up. So cute.
