Tucker and Truman returned from the campout, to see Belle and Ikey at our house.
It was so fun to babysit them, and they were here for the morning. Tucker and Truman were pumped, and couldn’t wait to break out the sprinklers, and seeing as how they had come home dirty and stinky, I didn’t even put there suits on them. I figured that an outdoor bath in the sprinklers might even be better than an indoor one, so here are a few pics of them “watering the flowers”
I am not sure exactly what happened on this campout, But I do know a few things:
There was a fire, they took there tent.
Truman did not want to go to sleep
My husband almost died, pretending to die in a skit
Truman threw a fit when he thought his dad died, Tucker went and checked it out and was fine. Truman wouldn’t leave his dads side.
Everyone came back filthy dirty, that is always a sign of a good time.
There is nothing like a fathers sons campout to make you miss and become grateful for the boys in your life.
Here are a few picks:
Oops, I made a mistake, Pres. Hinckley did not say “my new favorite quote”… Well he did say it, but he was quoting someone else (Jenkins Lloyd Jones)when he said it!
My father-in-law, corrected me on my error (Thanks 🙂 ) and gave me a few new quotes, that made me smile:
“What a wonderful life I have; I just wish I had realized it earlier”
“You can complain or you can have friends, but you can’t do bothâ€
I am trying to get our garage cleaned up.
I plan on spending many hours playing outside with the boys this summer. We are going to eat tons of popsicles and drink gallons of water. But….in order to play, we must know where all of the essential toys have been put.
We have found our bug nets and cages, but the balls, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and other toys have been placed strategically (by the boys, and neighborhood kids, or course) through out the garage. I am trying to wrangle them up, so they are all ready for playing.
Don’t get me wrong, we have already spent many hours playing with these items, but, they have yet to be all at one place at one time. And that my friends is my goal 🙂
While I had begun the cleaning process, the boys were on their trikes cruising up and down the driveway, I needed to rinse off something, the hose was turned on, and the car wash was started.
They worked hard for over 45 minutes cleaning their trikes up. I have got myself some hard workers.
an important event for my hubby and kids…
President Hinckley is an amazing man, very eloquent. I love what he said, here is my new favorite quote:
“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste alot of time running around and shouting that he’s been robbed. Most putts don’t drop. Most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just people. Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old-time rail journey–delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting your have the ride. I repeat, my brothers and sisters, the trick is to thanks the Lord for letting you have the ride.; and really, isn’t it a wonderful ride. Laugh about it! Sign about it! Remember the words of the writers of Proverbs: ‘A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.’ (Proverb 17:22)
For My Father-in-Laws Birthday, my in-laws took the grandchildren to the Cache Valley Fun Park. It was only $3.00 per child, and believe you me, we got our moneys worth.
I wish I would have taken more pictures, and that the ones I took turned out better! 🙂
(Grandpa Phillips went down the slide with Sophie, Tucker came down shortly after)
Grandma Phillips and Truman went down the slide together!
Tucker said,
“These helmets are perfect…. perfect for going to space”
Mom Thinks,
What was in those canvas baskets? Where did they put it?
Boys will be boys.

Luke Skywalker, Yorda, and Red Ranger–SPD
If anyone needs to rid the world of evil, let me know. These guys are all dressed, ready and fed, which is perfect, because they are anxious to “get those bad guys”
On Friday night we attended the “Year End Banquet” for Christopher’s work. It was here that the final official announcement was made to all of his colleagues of his transfer out of the area. Pretty soon Christopher’s mornings and late afternoons are going to be concerned more with catching buses than catching run away students. He is excited for the change and to be making more of a difference in the CES community.
I must be honest, I am going to miss the close proximity, and being able to drop by unexpectedly for lunch but I am excited for his new adventures.
Watch out Church Office Building, here he comes!
