I had a busy Relief Society Weekend Planned, and so instead of hanging out and being bored at home, the boys decided to go up to Logan, to be with Grandma and Grandpa Phillips, and a have a real good time.
Here are the pictures that were taken at Patricks Special Olympics Meet:
I don’t blame Toph and the boys for wanting to be in Logan this weekend, there is nothing better than being with people who love you so much…

Do you remember doing this?
I cannot even tell you how many times I would call up my friends, and we would coordinate outfits.
Last Thursday this was not on purpose…but fun none the less…

“Good-Night Cub Scouts”
In some ways I have been not looking forward to posting this, because it makes it real. .. and it makes me sad to say goodbye to my good friends–my cubscouts.
Over a month ago, I got a new calling, I am no longer a cubmaster with the Wolf and Bear Scouts in our ward. I am going to miss them (and I already am), as the young boys have become my friends.
There are so many reasons why I am going to miss them:
Hearing their laughter in our home.
Getting to know them, and their interests.
Keeping up with the latest vernacular of kids these days
Having my children seeing good boys, having them get to know them, and therefore having good examples to lead them.
and last but not least, the cub scout games that we got to play weekly! 🙂 Just kidding.
Please don’t get me wrong, I am excited to serve in the Relief Society, I am just going to miss them!
So watch out ladies, I now know SOOOO many stupid boy scout skits, how to tie so many knots, about bugs, trains, and even how to make a Waterscope, so we’re going to have some GREAT Times at our new Enrichment Meetings…..
So anyone who has been married, knows that there are so many surprises that come with marriage. I am happy to say, today I re-discovered two pleasant surprises of being married to Christopher James Phillips.
1. A former Stock/Bag boy at Stokes Grocery store, can do wonders in my pantry.
(Anyone who knows me, knows that I can’t hang things straight on the wall, I can’t walk straight— I can’t do anything straight. Including trying to put up cases of canned fruit and veggies on my shelf, an impossible task for this woman …)
2. A plumber/drain unclogger.
Again, that straight factor helps when your trying to line up pipes. I’m not so good at that.
If anyone would have told me that I would be loving and appreciating things like this, I would have thought they were crazy.
I love my plumber/stockboy hubba.
Muwah!

Hummm….Interesting….
At least someone thinks Tucker looks like me…(even if it is by only 4%)
I saw this on Chad and Lauras Blog…What fun, thanks guys.
Dearest Aunty Amy,
If you keep spoiling us like this, we are going to grow up thinking that it is a normal thing to be so stinking spoiled rotten.
And by the way, we had so much fun. So much fun in fact Truman was too excited to fall asleep, and had to keep talking to his big brother, until he eventually fell asleep with the words “boondocks” coming out of his mouth on Saturday Night. And Tucker talked about that cool places where you were almost running on the ceiling for a long time. And being able to watch Lightening Mcqueen on the Big Screen while Eating Hot Dogs and Super Big otter pops? Life doesn’t get better than that.
As for me, your sister, I must admit, I completely enjoyed walking around IKEA with out worrying about loosing my children (and my mind).
Thank you again for spoiling my boys rotten and thinking of us.
We WUV you!!!
My boys love Superheroes. At least one part of my day always includes them. Whether it is dressing up as superheroes, pretending to save people, or using their imagination to transform everyday objects into rockets, helicopters, or submarines to save people, they are an ever-present part of us.
One of my new favorite super hero things is an AWESOME new show on PBS called Super Why. It is about kids/superheroes who save they day by learning new social skills and by reading. AWESOME. I have only seen 3 episodes, but I am sure it is going to be a family favorite.
The kids have already pretended to be one of “Super Whys Super-readers”, which leads us to the next few pictures…
Toph had some fun in Photoshop today and made the boys into real life looking superheroes.
Truman the Red Power Ranger…
Tucker the Red Ranger and SPD Crew…

I have an amazing husband, and superhero children who make living in this world so much fun.

Imagination…
Just plain old Laundry Hampers,
I don’t think so…They’re Super Under Water Submarines
Taking the heroes to SAVE THE DAY!!!
Who would have thought laundry day could inspire so much imagination and fun?!
We got a note home from Tuckers School on Monday, this
is totally him. Nothing. is always his response…
A note to parents about
“Nothing”
When children come home at the end of the day,
the question they’re asked as they scurry to play is
“What did you do today?”
and the answer they give makes you sigh with dismay.
“Nothing, I did nothing today!”
Perhaps nothing means that I played with blocks,
or counted to 10, or sorted some rocks.
Maybe I painted a picture of red and blue
or heard a story of a mouse that flew.
Maybe I learned a new letter today,
or went outside on the swings to play.
Maybe today was the first time
that my scissors followed a very straight line.
Maybe I learned a song from beginning to end
or played witha special brand new friend.
When you’re in preschool and your heart has wings,
‘Nothing’ can mean so many things.
–I love that Tuckers Heart does have wings, and Nothing
does mean so many things. I love this boy, nothings and all.
