not much

We haven't been too exciting around here. Ben has been on and off missions and in 1 hour notice, so it's limited what we can do. He was able to go to England for the first time and see one of our friends from college (Ben actually met him on his mission in the Czech).

We have mostly been staying close to home. We been working on the yard and house. Hopefully when it warms up, everything is still alive. Rhone loves being outside, so he is happy these days. We bought a new wagon to haul rocks in. We put it together late one night and Rhone insisted on a ride. So we loaded him up in his jammies with his pillow, dog, and blanket. One lap around the neighborhood and he was sleeping like an angel. We went bowling one night for family night with some of our friends. It was wild, I mean fun :) with 3 little boys. We had a great time and Rhone has been asking to "throw ball" ever since.

Speaking of Rhone he is saying such fun things these days. Last night on our way upstairs for bed he said, "mom stairs too big, need ride". He has been saying, "yes siree" too. I have no idea where he gets these things from- makes me scared for when he gets bigger and hears all sorts of things. Tonight Rhone and I went to chick fil a for dinner. He was in the play area and I heard an older boys say, "have you seen carson?" Rhone thought for a second and said, "uhh, no" like he knew who the kid was. He's growing up so fast!

Hauling the rocks and Rhone to the backyard


Rhone was in heaven with all the rocks! We got a load last week and he has been asking for more rocks ever since. He was actually helpful (see the rocks landing in the wagon).

We've been squeezing a little art here and there. Rhone loves glitter, because he likes the shaking it out. You gotta watch him with the salt a pepper :)

Our family
Teaching little boys to take turns is hard, but they were pretty good by the end. There were no smashed toes, so we consider that a success.

Victory dance!
Rhone is my little puddle monster. I have to admit that I like me some puddle jumping too. Ben, not so much. Rhone and I spent one rainy afternoon jumping in puddles and throwing rocks in the pond. It's moments like those when I am so grateful that I get to be with Rhone all day. I would hate to miss out on these adventures together. We even had to head back out in the dark when Ben got home, who still didn't jump in the puddles.
