Jack. and. Ava

Jack has many friends on our street...and he loves all of them. But this day, Ava came from across the street to play. They decided to run through the sprinklers with their clothes on...now how could a mom stop that? Forget swimsuits...embrace the moment and get wet!

Alexander...he melts my heart every day. I often find myself just staring at him in wonder. Parenthood is the most miraculous gift, truly.

Click the photo - it will just make you want to take a bite out of him, he is so adorable.

a. hike.

About a month ago...(yes, that is how far I am behind on photos and posting) we went up Big Cottonwood Canyon and went for a hike. We strapped Alexander into the baby bijorn and packed up water, our lunches and lots of sunscreen. We had never taken Jack hiking so it was a new experience for us. A few years ago I bought a book called "easy day hikes in Utah" so we looked through it and picked two and headed up the canyon. We had a good time, by the time we got to the second hike we came back to the car, put Alexander in the car seat and ate our lunch on the tailgate of Mike's truck. It was really a nice day.
