fun with dad, fun with mom

This last weekend was a little unusual in that we spent it in different places.  Matt and Graham went north to Camp Verde for the father's and son's camp out.  They had a really good time.

While they were gone, I headed east to Mesa for a book signing.  And I loved every minute of it.  : )

splash pad

A few weeks ago we took our play group to a nearby splash pad.  We thought the kids would love it, seeing as it's getting much warmer here now, but alas, they were all too chicken to actually get wet.  If any of them got wet panic ensued.  So the kids played mostly around the water, instead of in the water.  Maybe one day they will get wet.

dirt!

This boy loves dirt.  Nothing makes him more happy than being able to get dirty, play in the dirt, and even eat dirt.  This last weekend we went camping, and Graham was in heaven.  Dirt everywhere, and nowhere to take a bath.  Perfect.

first haircut

Our boy Graham was getting some long hair.  Especially in the back.  It was nearly a mullet, and was a little uneven.  We decided that Saturday was going to be his first haircut day.  

taking pictures in church

Sometimes the only thing that will keep Graham entertained in church is looking at himself in the camera on Matt's phone.  

zoo day

Last Tuesday we had some zoo passes from the library that we didn't want to go to waste, so we invited the Bushmans to join us on a zoo fieldtrip!  It was Jackson's birthday, too, so it was a zoo day birthday.  We had a pretty good time.  It just so happened to be the hottest day of the week -- figures, it's cool all week and the one day we pick to go, it's hot -- but, it was still a lot of fun.  

secondhand swingset

These pictures were taken Easter morning, so if you notice that Matt and Graham are wearing the same shirt as in other posts, its because it's the same day.  : )  Anyway, our next-door neighbors got a new, bigger, swingset, and brought us their old one.  It's great, and small, which is just right for Graham.  Graham loves it.  Especially the slide.  I have to find some new buckles for the swing, as the ones on there right now are broken and Graham falls out, but it was a pretty good pick-up on our part.  Thanks, neighbors!  

busy, busy, weekends

The last few weeks we've been really busy.  Graham and I headed to Idaho Falls for a week and had a great time.  Because I'm super cool, I only took a few pictures on my phone.  : (  But this last weekend Matt's family came, and it was quite the eventful weekend.  With Easter and Lori's birthday, we stayed pretty busy.  : )  So below are quite a few posts of what we did over the last few weekends.  Enjoy.
