Story Time

Just a cute picture of my boys reading. We love the Elephant & Piggie books by Mo Willems. They get Jack laughing every time.

Jack's MormonAd

Jack made this video on my phone a couple days ago. I didn't even discover it until the next morning. I love hearing the things that he comes up with all on his own. You can tell we watch Mormon.org a lot.

Afterward, I asked him what a Mormon is and he said he didn't know. I asked him what church we go to and he said "The Latter Saints Day Care."

Mini-Reunion

We had the most fun time tonight with the our cousins the Ogdens and the other Woods crew. I don't know when the last time was that we were all together or if it has even ever happened. Shane and Amber live in Wyoming so we really don't get the chance to see them much. We survived the 100+ degree weather by hanging out in the pool. Thanks for enduring the heat to hang out with us!

L to R: Hallie, Stanley, Taelor, Johnathan, Shane, Brielle, Amber, Mickle, Ethan, JoEllen, Trevor, Gavin, Cody, Jack, Ty, and Me (phew!)

Home Sweet Home

It's so good to be back in Arizona. We love being back - unbearable heat, and all. Jack has loved having a backyard again.

If I let him choose, Jack will always go for long dark socks with shorts.

We also got to spend a few days with Mike and Carrie's family from Texas. Jack loves getting "mothered" by all his girl cousins...

Here's our big helper working hard to get our walls painted. We painted the living, family, and dining rooms last week and it looks so good! As soon as I can get decorations back on the wall, I'll post some pictures.
