Daddy weekend part 1

While I was off galavanting in Idaho, the boys went to Billings to buy these rockin' bunk beds from Cabelas.  They slept on them in our bedroom last night and they were a huge success.  Now the bunk beds are a legendary cave.  To Da Cave!!! Luke keeps yelling.

They went to Laser Tag too. They loved it!

I love Luke's face in this one.  Part Scary, part Scared.

can't get tougher than this

Happy Birthday Weekend

Hilerie and I met in Idaho Falls for a birthday weekend get away. It was lovely! 
 
I had just finished a 3-week elimination diet/cleanse, and during the vegetarian week I would daydream about a cheeseburger and a beer.  Here it is, baby. Delish and worth the wait!

Isn't it pretty?

I got this in my fortune cookie at lunch -- I think it's a fantastic birthday message. :)

Movie Night with Luke

We took Luke to a movie Sunday night.  Josh was invited to a birthday party and they all got to go to Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. When we asked Luke what he wanted to do while Josh was at the party, he said "go to the movie" with a silent DUH behind it.




Luke sat right between us (until it got scary, when he got on Daddy's lap), and was just in heaven.  Chillaxing and having some popcorn and candy with both of his parents.  Lucky us!



 

Hair Cut and Helmets



We bought the boys helmets and goggles for the upcoming ski season while we were in Great Falls this weekend.  I could not say NO to Luke when he asked for a red helmet.  He's too cute.
Josh is super serious about things. He chose Spy+ brand goggles, for obvious reasons.
This is my goof ball before his haircut.
And this is him after.  It looks better, but I still wish he'd agree to going to a professional...







Snowy Morning

We took a minute to play in the snow on Friday jmorning.  Snow angels in October is not cool with me.

But Luke was having a grand time!

Until he figured out I was taking pictures. No picture mom!

Josh was the first one down the slide to break through the snow.  Super fun.

 



Even Champ was not a fan of the wintery mix we had in autumn.  Josh took this picture of her.

Dinosaur Park

We went to Dinosaur Park yesterday on our way home from school and errands. Josh got to go there several times this summer with his camps, but Luke hasn't been and he keeps asking to go. No better time than the hour of sunshine we had yesterday!
Luke's really at prime Dinosaur Park age. He can do everything at the park (well, maybe not the monkey bar stuff...) and he loves it! It brings back such fond memories of when Josh was SO into dinosaurs and this park was his personal heaven.


Josh basically climbed on anything he could get his hands on. He wanted to show me his American Ninja Warrior skills here.


Look mom, dreamworks! (like the kid in the moon logo...get it? )

Luke was fearless (almost...) and a bouldering maniac!
I love how proud of himself he is when he does something great.




King of the World!

This is his new "smile" face. Josh went through this phase too -- at Disneyworld! 

Josh walked/climbed all the way around the big rock. It was hard, I had one hand on his butt the whole time (except when I was taking pictures, of course!).



 

He's so strong.

I was so proud of him because he actually showed signs of fear and caution. Maturity.

Gotta have strong hands and fingers if you're going to be a ANW.
