Life as of Late

February warmed up very nicely around here and we have enjoyed some great days the last few weeks. The boys have loved being able to get outside more and not have it be freezing, so have I! We have enjoyed quite a few walks to woodland park and around the neighborhood. Here are a few pictures of the boys exploring woodland park. I was also super lucky to join Ryland on his 1st grade field trip to the Clark Planitarium last week. It was so fun to be with him and his friends and we got to see some really cool movies. Here our group is before we went into the 3d butterfly show. All the kids wanted to just reach out and grab the butterflies during the show. It was so cute. And I got to ride on the bus with the crazies! :) Good times! We went to the Church History Museum with my parents for family night the other night too. We hadn't been there since they re-did a lot of it and it was so fun too check out all the new things they had. We had a great time. They had a really great movie about Joseph Smith that we watched. The boys got to try and pull a stone for the Nauvoo temple up. And they loved the play area for kids. It was such a great family night activity and very cool to learn things about church history we didn't know. This silly boy Cohen is getting so big lately. He is crazy but keeps us laughing all the time. I love him. Ryland lost both his front teeth the last couple weeks. He was so brave to let Lance pull this first one out. The second one we tried to pull out with floss too. It didn't come on the fist tug and Ryland said he could pull it out and two seconds later he had no front teeth. He is getting so big and looks cute even without teeth. We also have taken a few trips up to the pond. On this occasion Cohen had to wear his cute little hat. He is so cute! And Camden still loves the dirt! I think they could throw rocks in the pond all day long. The kids love this! We went for a family bike ride the other day too. It was so beautiful outside and Camden has been dying to get out and try his new trick of riding with no training wheels. Camden seriously is a pro. He didn't quite get how to do no training wheels the end of last summer. We pulled his bike out a couple of days ago and he jumped right on it and rode no problem. It was like he had always been riding with no training wheels. It was amazing, and he has been loving being able to ride all over and keep up. So proud of this kid! He has already jumped off that little bike onto Rylands old bigger bike. These boys are loving riding together. And Cohen is finally getting brave enough to try out the balance bike. Fun times on the bikes already. We played some baseball after our bike ride the other day too. This little baseball boy is so cute! Excited for another great baseball season coming up soon. And Kellilyn and I on a whim decided to get our ears pierced the other day. Super random but a fun little change so far. Kelly looks a little green because she might have gotten close to passing out but it was so fun to do it with this girl! Love her so much!
