Father & Son Campout

Bill took Sam on his very first camping trip this weekend. They joined our ward for the Priesthood Commemoration celebration up at Grayback Gulch near Idaho City. Sam, as you will see, had the time of his life...

Trying out our neighbors 4-wheeler

Helping Dad pump up the air mattress

More sticks

It took Bill quite a while to settle Sam down enough to get him in his sleeping bag. Jumping on the air mattress was just way too much fun!

Then it took Bill quite a while to wake Sam up in the morning. He was exhausted!

I can tell it was a successful trip since Sam still talks about it. Can't wait until next year!

Mother's Day

Sometimes I still can't believe that I have two little bundles of joy. They are so much fun and I am so grateful that I get to be their mother! Yesterday we went shopping for a bike for me and came home with this:

I love it; especially that it's yellow!

We've been on a couple of rides already. It's a smooth ride!

Daniel is almost doing a full crawl. I really need to start watching him now because he can get himself across a room in just a few seconds. Time to really baby-proof the house again.

I didn't see how he got himself under the jumper, but he seemed pretty content to play with it from the bottom.

Happy Mother's Day to all the women who are such great friends and examples to me!!

More Zoo Boise

We've been hitting the zoo about once a week these days. Sam loves it and it really gets his energy out. We especially love going with our friends, the Wilson's!

The giraffe slide: an important stop.

The komodo dragon: always a hit

Safari Jeep: everyone needs a turn at the wheel!

And penguins: you can't miss these!
