Taylor and Finn

Baby Finn-ster here is a little particular about whom he likes.  However, the other day he latched onto Taylor and decided that he was admitted into his circle.  Every time Taylor sat down on the grass, Finn was there trying to sit on his lap.  

Chopping Wood

A few weeks ago my brother Jaron and his family came up for the week and we spent a few days up at our cabin. As soon as Jaron saw the pile of wood that needed to be chopped he was just as excited as can be. Apparently he loves to chop wood.  That love was contagious, and somehow all of a sudden, all of the boys lined up for their chance to chop wood.  Go figure.      

Hammocking

I'm not sure what the fascination is, but my boys and their friends love hanging out in hammocks at the cabin.  They spend hours just..... laying in them, chatting and turning themselves upside down. I'm not quite sure what the draw is, but I won't complain!

Washington DC

My friend and I decided to take our boys to Washington DC for a few days in June.  We saw just about every museum imaginable, walked and walked and walked and sweated a ton.  There were a few things the boys weren't too thrilled about (Air and Space was a bomb for some reason, modern art was not a hit nor the new African American museum) However, they loved the International Spy Museum and anything that had to do with guns.

The Giant Cabbage

Chase brought home a cabbage start from school sometime in May.  We planted it and then dutifully watered it until ready for harvest.  17lbs!  He insisted on using it for our morning smoothies.  Scott agreed and dug out some of the tender pieces in the middle.  The rest was given to our chickens to enjoy.

St George on Memorial Day

We took a quick weekend trip down to St. George on Memorial Day weekend.   Watson was lucky enough to go on a RZR ride with us.  He was not a fan.  A few hikes and some swimming rounded out the weekend. 

Beach Volleyball

Taylor enjoyed playing volleyball so much this past winter with his high school that he decided to join a beach volleyball team for the summer.

I laugh every time I say "beach" volleyball because we are no where near a beach.  However, there is sand and swimsuits, so I guess 2 out of 3 is good enough.
