Brothers Gotta Hug

Weston "getting" Josh. This consists of Wes trying to suck on, chew, slobber on whatever part of Josh he can get a hold of. Josh thinks it is hillarious. "Wes is eating me," he says.

I love how brown Josh's eyes are and how blue Weston's are.
Josh LOVES to hug on Wes, of course this hug was followed by a wrestling manuever that laid Wes out on the ground. I am always trying to protect Wes but he usually is just smiling. He loves his big brother.

Meadowlark Gardens

My friend Wendy took these pictures when we went to the gardens. It was a fun day. Josh likes to wander and tune me out, so everybody got their chance to chase after him.

I love this one of all the kids watching a caterpillar. So entertaining.

Spring has Sprung

On Saturday we went to the National Arboretum. It was a pretty nice day. (this is what Josh says every time we walk outside, so you know I say it too much). We had fun running around enjoying the spring weather.

You might be worried if...

you pick up your little boy from nursery and the first thing the teacher asks is, "Have you been watching Nacho Libre at home?"

Picture for the Day

Happy Mother's Day

What a beautiful day. I'll give you a play by play. I am in love with my boys...all of them. I think so often, how did I get so lucky? Ben and Josh made me breakfast this morning, and Josh was so excited to tell me happy mother's day and give me flowers. So sweet. I am thankful for a husband and father who teaches his boys to respect and treasure their mother. What a gift.
I spent sacrament meeting holding back tears. Thinking my sweet Cameron should be up there singing with the primary. I tried to picture his little blonde head and blue eyes singing to me and waving at his brothers from the stand. How I miss him.....so much lately.
Weston didn't want to sit in church today so I sat outside in the beautiful sunshine kissing on the soft rolls of his neck listening to his giggle. It must be the most magical sound--your child's laughter.
After church Josh napped and I napped snuggled up with Wes while Ben made dinner. How great is that! Like I said, how did I get so lucky? We had some great friends over for dinner and the kids played. Then tonight as I am typing this Ben is convincing Josh it is bedtime (late Sunday nap). Josh calls for me. He only wants me to change his poopy diaper. I listen to my 2 year old's expanding vocabulary as he talks and talks avoiding bedtime. He has us laughing at his sweet imagination. Can't the dinosaur rock him to sleep? He asks.
I love being a mom.

Visiting Cameron

can I just say visiting Cameron and not have to add grave to the end? yuck. It is still so weird. I feel like I am living a parallel life. I always want to take pictures at Cameron's grave to somehow include him in the picture. It was nice to be able to go to the cemetary this Easter. And it was nice as Ben and I got weepy to see our wildchild Josh running around chasing butterflies and stealing pinwheels from other people's graves:). It made us smile and see Cameron in him. I am sure they know each other, and Josh remembers him. How we miss our Cameron boy.
