Desi's new face

He started doing this new grumpy/disgusted face last week. It cracks me up while making me aware that the terrible twos will attack even my sweet, happy, giggly boy.

Six flags day and the space center

I love having season passes and that we got such a great deal on them. We went for a few hours Saturday morning and had a blast and within seconds of getting in the car both kids passed out. Went ended up meeting up with the Griffin family at the space center (I watched all 6 kids while Sarah, Jared, and Brandon went to the temple 10 minutes away). It was...an adventure. Then we had dinner at this fun little Ethiopian restaurant a few miles away. It was a bit of a different experience with kids but still really delicious.

Summer time!!

Apparently my goal of daily blog posts totally dropped off when "summer" started and I went to Utah to be there when Amelia and Lawrence graduated from BYU. From now on I am going to simplify and do periodic updates on what is going on.

I love summer days at the park. We go and burn off some energy and have a picnic. Last week we dog sat for some friends and would take the dogs for a walk. Desi Q was in heaven and walked around all day pointing and going "doggy!" "woof, woof!". He also says hot, mommy, daddy, sis, ball, and a few others that are escaping me.

Day 108: mall trip

Today my good friend Charlotte and I headed to the mall to visit a friend at work. She has two little girls that hazel has a blast with and desi just hung out in the chariot. We wandered the Disney store and I grabbed some new blush. I let hazel set the pace for the most part and it was a lot of fun. On my way home I dropped my Alexis and Ellie's house so Desi could have a playdate too and he got to see his little girlfriend (and so I could visit a bit). I show up and Alexis not only feeds me, but has baked me a delicious lemon pie!! She says it is a belated move in/birthday present, but she really outdid herself! What an angel! I feel so lucky to have such great friends so quickly after moving here.

Day 106: desi des

I was attempting to entertain des while I was doing laundry and getting a few things ready for my trip, and I grabbed Brandon's headlamp and turned it on the low red setting and it kept des busy forever! I can just see him and Brandon having a blast on father son campouts!

Day 107: hazel my techno wizard

Since hazel was tiny she could maneuver in and out of my phone like it was nothing. I started putting in lock on and he just hacked the lock and kept going through. The other day I found this picture on my phone. She must have opened up sketch book pro, made me a little pic, saved it, then put the phone back before I even realized she had it. Haha.

Day 105: Howarth Park

When we first moved to this area and were staying with or Davey cousins, we kept driving past this beautiful park. We even saw a train for the kids to ride on, but had no idea how amazing the park really is. There are like 4 playgrounds, boats for rent, two lakes, long trails for hikes or bike rides, a merry go round, bounce houses, large picnic areas, etc. It's amazing!! We'll be going back often and bringing friends!

Hazel made us "lunch" and a variety of mud pies. Yum!
