Gotta love the Random

Love that my boys play together now. 

Spencer wanted me to take a picture of him and his best friend "basketball hoop"

Spencer wanted to take a picture of me writing out the grocery list (please excuse Rod's extremely soggy diaper)

Uncle David sang in the choir for General Conference. 

Spencer dressing up like daddy again. :)

The 3 pictures below were taken pretty early, by the insistence of Spencer. Which is why he looks wide awake and Roddy and me do not. 

Roddy's first day of nursery at Church. Yay!

One of the busiest times of year for apartment managing is during the Spring semester check out. So Jessica and Robin came to help the boys and Spencer went to spend a night over at the Wastlunds.  Spencer and Jessica were headed out to the car to go to the Wastlund's, when he got hit in the face with the car door. I was inside helping 5 different people when Spencer comes in holding his eye with blood all over his face and hands. The best part was when I finally convinced him to take his hand down so I could look at the cut. He put his hand down,saw all the blood on his hand, got a look of horror on his face and started screaming. I calmed him down, washed off most of the blood and helped the apartment people enough that they could leave and then tried to decide if we should take him to get stitches or not. He totally freaked when we said we might take him to get stiches and it didn't look too bad. So I put butterfly bandages on it and Steve super glued it. It healed up just fine (with a small scar. But we told him scars were cool)

Despite the drama he made it to the Wastlund's and had a blast. 

But.... 

While he was in St. George, Spencer got his first really bad sunburn.And now is sure to always remind everyone to wear sunscreen.

Spencer is seriously the best big brother. Of course he fights with Rod and gets annoyed by him, but he is also so kind to him. He'll sing to him when he's upset, read him books, play with him, help me get diapers and clothes, etc. etc. He is a awesome and it melts my heart. 

Spencer's photo of his applesause (kept it to remind myself in future years I used to have a nice backside) :)

Rod is still obsessed with his monkey. And now he's added balls to it. Especially basketballs but really any type of ball. He have a little mini basketball hoop Spencer got for his birthday a couple years ago and Rod plays with it all day (and he's actually really good). One of his favorite things to say is "Shoot the ball!" Whenever he see a basketball or basketball hoop or anyone dressed like they could be basketball players he yells that and starts pretending to shoot a ball.  He carries around this mini-basketball and even takes naps with it on several occasions. Today he couldn't wait for nap time and fell asleep with his two favorite things.  

My least favorite "chore" is grocery shopping. Steve is always complaining we have nothing to eat (which means we have nothing convenient to eat, and he would actually need to cook something). 

But today....he was right. 

We do crafts a lot in our house. This was one we made the other day. 

Visiting mom on Memorial Day and bringing her new flowers. 

Being silly

Steve and I did a sugar detox for 5 days. It was suppose to be 10 days but we couldn't make it. :)

Me drinking one of our breakfast shakes. It actually wasn't that bad. 

Yep...these are my children.
