Pictures of boys

It has been a while since I posted anything on our blog because I have been busy wrestling 2 kids and trying to keep everyone alive. I got out the camera and took some pictures of the boys today wearing their brother shirts. 

 This is Danny playing ring around the rosie with Kyle. I thought it was pretty funny. 

I think Danny is going to be like his mom and enjoy gardening. I have already planted carrots, onions, and peas. Yesterday we watered the garden one watering can at a time and Danny thought it was great. 

So I am very very excited about the warmer weather we have been having recently. It makes me want to garden and be outside. I have been meaning to give Kyle a bath for days, but I'm not willing to try that while Danny is awake so it hasn't happened yet. Danny running free while my hands are full with Kyle in the bath is a recipe for disaster. I guess that is just the way it goes when you are the second child. With Danny we are working on trying to be more polite because right now he has a habit of just demanding what he wants and he will even sometimes add a "right now" on to his demands. Doesn't really make me want to let him look at pictures of himself on my phone when he says "look at pictures right now!" 

I am going to a Mary Kay conference tonight and tomorrow and staying over in Salt Lake, so we'll see how we all survive 24 hours apart. I hope the boys are good for dad and I can find a place to pump. 

2 Years Old!

Things have been going pretty good at home with the boys: Kyle has been super good and way mellow and Danny is 2. As long as I can keep Danny entertained he does pretty well.  Danny likes reading books and this one "my mon-tur" is one of his current favorites.

For Danny's Birthday we had a little party at our house where we ate macaroni and cheese, opened presents, and had cupcakes.

 Danny loved the Mater and McQueen he got from grandma.

Today as part of Danny's Birthday celebration we got all bundled up and took him to the farm at Thanksgiving Point. He got to ride a pony and see all sorts of fun animals. 

I'm glad that I caught this moment before Danny made sure he was a safe distance from the little horse. 

I'm starting to get more sleep, so life is going pretty good. I could write a lot more about what has been going on but I don't really want to right now so the pictures will have to do. 

Swimming

We went on an over night get away up in Draper with Jon's family for the holiday and had lots of fun. We watched TV, played games, and just hung out. Danny was pretty good at giving clues in Disney Hedbanz: if anyone had a character that he recognized he would point and say who it was. We had to start making sure that Danny didn't know the characters so that the other kids could guess who they were. I think one of the boys favorite parts was swimming in the hotel pool. We brought our camera down to the pool and took a bunch of pictures. 

Danny liked jumping off the steps to mom and then having dad throw him up in the air. I think he is really going to like swimming at Seven Peaks this summer.

I took a few pictures of Kyle doing some tummy time the other day while Danny was napping. It looks like he is going to be a strong little boy like Danny was.

Kyle will be one month old tomorrow. It is crazy how time flies. I think we are all getting used to our new life with mom staying home and baby Kyle being here.
