boysSEPT2012
tagg is four and a half now. he is very glad to be back at school and loves to play with his friends. his favorite colors are turpoise (turquoise) and orange (EVERYTHING has to be turpoise and orange). and he is already planning the details of his fifth birthday!

sully turned two last month and is quite the crazy guy. a couple of days ago i was kissing his belly when he said to me, "we're fighting!". he is learning new words every day and LOVES to copy his brother.

las vegas
IMG_5157
last weekend, i rendezvoused with jocelyn in las vegas. it was a great little weekend away. although, knowing that tucker will be arriving there next week (he is serving a mission in death valley) in the 105 degree weather makes me nervous!

the first morning, jocelyn's friend, kassie, came over with her little girl. we played in the pool and had a mini dance party. i was SO glad to finally meet kassie. it turned out to be a great jocelyn's-worlds-colliding moment! :)

for lunch we had cafe rio and nielson's frozen custard. i loved the frozen custard machine.

then jocelyn took me to an amazing fabric store. i'm already making a circle quilt with all my great new fabric.

that night, we watched project runway with jocelyn's mom. she's quite hip.

that night, kassie had us over for dessert. her mom's backyard was amazing. i loved it. we ate a delicious caramel apple dessert and looked thru their high school year books. very fun.

this was from the first night, when we went out for a great dinner with all of jocelyn's vegas friends.  as usual, i had a fantastic time playing with jocelyn during my visit. cant wait to do it again!

labor day at the river
river02
we thought it would fun/different to drive out to the country (about a 15 minute drive) and play by the river. we brought the kite, bats and balls and treats. 
river08
sully was such a good boy and kept his hat on! look at that chipped tooth. its kind of intense. but in a cute way, right? :)
river03
i basically have my own baseball team. only a few more boys to go......
river04
when we were finished playing at the park, we walked across a huge suspension bridge over the river. 
river07
tagg was really hoping to see a bear picking blackberries near the river (i read that there have been sightings at the park we were at!).
river09
tagg was very proud of the rocks he found. i am very proud (now that i am looking at this picture) of how full my hair looks in this freaking bun! i have super thin hair but that bun looks legit. :)
river05
craig, supervising the skipping of rocks situation.
river06
my boys found a friend at the river (please ignore the fact that sully is trying to chuck a rock at the dog's head). it was a gorgeous day at the river (so glad grandma and grandpa smith met up with us!).
