Despite the snow we got yesterday (grrr) I do believe summer is here. We have loved having the outside option back in our lives!
Truman LOVES books. Have I mentioned this a thousand times before? It's still less than the times he asks me every day to read books with him.
And he is just funny
When I don't feel like driving somewhere to play, we have picnics in our backyard! I live in the mountains so it is just as nice!
Here is the still unfinished but already cool firepit/living room area that billy is building for one of his clients. But seriously, who wants a wall in their backyard? I think it will look cool, I just would never have thought of it myself haha
hahah silly boys. They don't sleep in the same bed, Truman just sometimes wants Burton to come hang out with him when they wake up in the morning.
WE GOT A SWINGSET!!!!
Truman's psuedo grandma was getting rid of hers and we are so happy!!! It actually has not been as wonderful as I imagined cus Tru still needs help for every part of it haha but fun!
Little fishing night at the res last week. Even though Billy is so busy and so tired, we always manage to take the boys to do something fun on the weekends. We actually caught 4 fish this time! ha!
My Sunday school kids, who I love. They are so dear.
I took the boys to explore this trail I had spied on a different run and we ran into this big wall shortly into it. I deserted them and climbed the wall then determined to come back later with Billy.
Here is one of the many designs that BIlly draws. Isn't it cool that he does this?
Ok so yes, then I took Billy and the boys back on that hike with the wall and we managed to climb around the wall (super sketchy, but I think I was the most scared one haha) and found a cool place!
Then after BIlly wanted to climb the wall too haha and Truman's like, "Don't worry, Dad, I'll be right here to catch you if you fall!"
Then we had a bonfire with tinfoil dinner and corn on the cob.. and watermelon that Burton dripped alllll over my leg...sticky!!!
Billy decided he is going to run the Timp Trail marathon in a few weeks and so he has been doing some good training runs. I have been running with Kim and her sister-in-law Jess to train for their marathon which will take place the same day. Anyway, the only reason I provided that information is becasue I run with them on flat pavement cus that's what they like and Billy gets to summit the mountain across from our house haha jealous
PROVIDENCE. We saw a billboard advertising supercross coming to Salt Lake and I thought it would be fun to surprise billy with tickets and go but then they were too expensive for me so I let the dream die but then the day before the event Billy's CAT guy gave him tickets and pit passes!!!! I was so excited and so was truman!! (So i guess in the end we actually paid tens of thousands of dollars for those tickets since Billy gets shmoozed for buying his machines from Cat with supercross tickets haha oh well...)
It was the most fun and the boys did SO good with a long, hot day and no naps. And so loud. We had good, close seats and the racing was incredible.
Truman was so funny and equally impressed by the weird Monster Energy logo slideshow playing on the jumbotron which looked like a "big storm" as he was with the bikes haha
Oh and even more enthralled by my thankfully endless supply of gummy worms haha
Burton was not impressed with any of it, but he had his sock and survived just fine. We had SO MUCH FUN there.
And now we go onward! Truman has turned into a real live little boy with full thoughts and easy expression of those thoughts and it is such a delight (and sometimes a terror haha). I feel like he's just exploded in the past week or two.
Burton is also as darling as ever and I think he will walk much sooner than Truman did. He is always laughing hysterically haha
Such fun!
