On Saturday Adam and I did a little bike ride. It's called the Salt Lake Bike Tour and is the same day as the Salt Lake Marathon. You actually bike the marathon course. So it's a 26 mile ride through Salt Lake, starting at the U of U and ending at the Gateway. It's not timed and there's not a winner, so it's just a ride, and it was so fun. You get all the perks of race day, crowds, a number, a shirt, food, and even a medal, but you don't have to race. We decided that we want to make it a family tradition! The hardest part of the ride was afterwards, biking back up to the U and over to Adam's parents house where we parked our car!
Davis is getting a top tooth and has been pretty miserable, poor guy. So I've been giving him his frozen baby food squares in one of those little baby safe feeder things. It's basically like a popsicle and he goes crazy over it. I just pop a frozen pureed apple or banana ice cube in the mesh pocket and let him go to town. He makes a giant mess, but it keeps him happy and probably feels super good on his sore gums.
Does anyone have any tips on what to do with your videos? Do you put them on a dvd or something? I've been going through pictures and have found a million and a half videos that I didn't even know I had. I want to organize them somehow so my kids can watch them but don't really know a good way to do it. Any ideas?
The other day I put Davis in Grant's room to play with him for a bit while I folded laundry in my room next door. I went to check on them a couple of min. later and heard Grant reading stories to Davis in his tent...so I grabbed the camera and sneaked up on them.
I'll admit it, I'm getting onery about it still being winter in April. For real. We had a couple of nice days that we savored and played at the park (and by nice I mean jacket and blanket weather but no snow) and the rest of the weekend has been freezing.
What are those teeth!
Here's Grant telling me about what kind of Birthday party he wants to have.
Grant loves to play hide and "sneak" with Davis. We've told him a million times it's hide and seek, but he prefers to "sneak." And he's not a good hider. He hides under the blanket and then jumps out before you find him...but it's his favorite game.
This is such a classic Grant face. He does this face all the time!
It's to the point where the laughing has turned into pleading for dad to stop...
Another classic Grant face....and I love how Davis is just enamored with his brother.
Davis is 8 months TODAY! Ahh, my baby is getting big.
This past week we celebrated our 4th anniversary. Adam surprised me with a little getaway to St. George. His parents picked up the kids in the morning and we were off. I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed being in the car with ONLY Adam. A road trip without kids is a dream! I would have been happy to just drive there and back. We got in some good conversation, some laughs, some songs, and of course road trip treats. It was some concentrated time that we hardly ever get anymore, and I loved it.
We brought our bikes and decided to do the Snow Canyon loop because on the map it looked like a pretty gradual climb and not that bad... it kicked my butt. We climbed from the trail at the bottom of the mtn in the picture below to the top where Adam is. The way down was great though and it was beautiful.
It was like 80 degrees and perfect weather. We swam in the pool, went to dinner, saw some St. George historical sites, (not really, we just drove by the temple and such) and hung out at the hotel. Of course we didn't bring our camera so these are all iphone pics. We were only there for a day, but it was perfect. We should do it more often.
Here are a couple more pictures... the boys being silly
I still can't figure out how this is even possible
