Fort, Liahona, Waterfall...

Here are a few of our latest adventures...

McKay found this pink pincushion at my in-laws and insisted on keeping it.  When I asked him what it was he told me it was a Liahona.  He carries it around and wants to sleep with it at night.  (His favorite scripture story is Nephi.)  He was sitting on the couch so cute talking to it when I told him to smile for a picture.  He smiled but wouldn't look at the camera.  Oh well.

Building forts with Daddy is a new favorite at our house.  I offered to build one with him the other day while at was at school but he told me "No, Only Daddy do it."  I guess it must be a boy thing.

 CHEESE- We had a crazy storm the other night and I was trying to take pictures of the storm while McKay was clinging to me saying "Cheese Mommy!  CHEESE!" and getting louder and louder until I took a picture of him.  None of my storm pictures really turned out but McKay's sure did!

 We hiked up to this waterfall.  McKay and Matt were in heaven- like father like son, throwing rocks.
 McKay was too busy throwing rocks to pose for pictures...

Last but not least, my project over the past months is finally done- Baby Blanket!  It took a lot longer than I anticipated but I finished it and am proud of it.  The baby won't be allowed to use it though because it took way too much work just to be spit up on :-)  just kidding.

Memorial Day & Birthday Weekend

 Matt took Memorial Day off and we spent the day together as a family.  It was great to spend a day just hanging out together!  We thought about going out for a picnic but it wasn't the greatest weather so we went for a ride instead.  The local resevoirs are literally overflowing this spring with all the rain we've had so we drove out to see one- it was an impressive sight to say the least!  Water was just rushing over the wall creating a HUGE waterfall.

Notice the jackets- I wish I would've had a coat on.  It was cold!!  Not to mention they reported wind gusts at 90 miles an hour...  You gotta love Windy Wyoming!

Well Spring finally decided to come!  It arrived for my birthday- what a great present huh?  McKay and I spent the day soaking up the sun and enjoying being outdoors.  It was a great day!  Matt even got home early and made me dinner.

My boys gave me a much needed updated photo album.

For Elise:
Thanks for the shoes guys!!  Happy Birthday to me!

McKay was being mysteriously quite yesterday (usually never a good sign) so I went to find out what he was up to.  I found him "reading all my Kay's self".  It was so sweet.  He was talking and telling the story as he turned the pages.  He is growing up too fast.
