Bad Nose Job

I'm not sure what happened. One minute Landon was starting to walk down our front steps, the next second he was laying face down at the bottom. Poor guy!

Idaho Weekend

For Memorial Day weekend we went to visit my Grandma McBride who lives in Victor, ID. Every year the whole family gathers to work and have fun. This year the goal was to replace the fence that borders her property. It was so much fun to visit and see everyone. The only problem was with the spring run-off, there was water everywhere. The kids were in heaven and their parents were going crazy trying to keep them out. Luckily, we went the whole weekend without any major incidents. I love visiting Victor. My mom grew up here and everything reminded me of her. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of this place. I'm glad we went.

MUD!

On Friday I was upstairs cleaning my bathroom while the boys were out playing in the backyard. After I finished I went out to check on them and this is what I found...

McCoy and Landon decided it would be fun to fill up their sand buckets with water and dump it in their sand box to make mud. By the time I arrived on the scene they had discarded their shorts because "they were dirty" and were running around in their underwear. It made for a great picture. I told them to enjoy themselves now because this was not going to happen again.

Day 2

Well, apparently the boys had so much fun playing in the mud two days before that they wanted to do it again. Yesterday, I told the boys that they could play outside, but they had to STAY OUT of the mud and water. I went out to check on them a little while later and instead of dumping buckets of water into the sand box they decided to just turn on the hose so that they could get more water in. This time they were completely naked and were having a monster truck rally in the mud pit. I didn't know whether to laugh or yell. I can already tell we are going to have our hands full this summer.

Kite flying - Take Two

A couple of days ago the wind was blowing pretty hard so we decided to go to the park and try our hand at flying kites again. It worked. It ended up being a perfect kite flying day. I think Nate had just as much fun or maybe more fun than the boys. The wind was blowing so much that at one point I thought one of the kites was going to fly away and take Landon with it. Lots of fun!
