Little Buddy #2!

Sweet mellow Hyrum has decided that we are a team these days. Everywhere I go he goes and he also has dibs on me whenever anyone else comes around! This little monkey is a sweet little distraction from all my work because when he comes around I
1) Have a hard time ignoring him and get the urge to cover him with kisses
and
2) Can't finish my work anyway because he messes up anything I start on. He is trying to be so helpful these days :)

Tonight while I was doing my nightly blog checks he brings me my camera and wants me to take pictures for him to look at.
Yeah he's pretty adorable

Concert

This sunday we went to Paysons Concert in the Park with some friends. Apparently this concert is one of Utahs longest running traditions and has been going on every sunday since 1919.

The boys enjoyed playing on the playground, and Michael and I enjoyed visiting :)

I love MD jumping in the picture
Smile MD! Ok next time smile at the camera :) You too Hyrum
You can't tell from the picture but this place was packed. I took this picture early before the whole park was overrun

One more thing that makes me smile :)

What would I do without my boys? I know if I really sat down and tried to make a list I could probably come up with a long one-Simple things like bathe when I want to or go to a clothing store. But without these kiddos I would miss so much!! MD is my little buddy these days and I love the conversations we have. Today we were walking home from the park and I turned around to tell MD to hurry up when he looked at me and yelled "No! mommy you not be mad!!! Mommy you HAVE to be happy!" I guess I had my discipline face on :)

He lately has been telling me the things that is going through his mind at the moment like "Mommy we had to go inside because I saw the sun but it went behind the cloud and it will get dark and the sprinklers will come on and get me."

I know these are conversations that only myself and family members will find at all entertaining but I guess what surprises me so much is that my little 3 year old is thinking for himself. He no longer repeats what I say but has original thoughts. He also has discovered his "thing" It seems like kids seem to zero on one thing or another that becomes their focus. For MD it is trains. He LOVES trains and his favorite movie is Thomas the Train. One of his new things to say if someone is bugging him is "He's a bossy boiler!" Or sometimes if the opposite is true he'll say "He's NOT a bossy boiler"

This kiddo is definitely one of a kind :) .

The other night I walked in to find MD photographing his trains-Here is one of MD's shots. Enjoy!

Naptime at the Huish House

Today the boys decided they wanted to go shirtless :)

Fun Sunday

Last Sunday one of our neighbors invited us to go with them and some friends down to Spring Lake and feed the ducks. MD and Hyrum were a bit confused as to what ducks ate and kept throwing rocks at them (Or they just liked throwing rocks) Luckily no ducks were actually hit.

When we got home the boys started jumping down the stairs onto their daddy. I'm so glad their daddy does these things with them so I don't have to :)
And I just love the look of happiness on both of their faces.

A long overdue post

Another whirlwind month and I haven't even touched on most of what has been going on! Sometimes I can't believe just how fast time flies over here in our house. First some pictures!
A couple of Months ago Michael decided we were going to buy a house so we did! It is a town home in Payson and I LOVE it. I am surrounded by neighbors with kids the same age as mine so everyday a big group of us meet out in front of the houses and visit while the kids play together. It reminds me so much of Texas and visiting with my sister that I have been having a hard time not getting homesick.
The picture above was when I was in the middle of packing my sweet MD decided to thrash the house. Luckily I was in a pretty good mood so he was able to mostly get away with it with minimal consequences.

Here is Hyrum playing in front of the town homes
And tonight I walked into their room to see them playing together. I don't mind the mess in their room if it means happy boys!
And on my hard days where I am struggling trying to do everything I just look at these pictures and smile-Really I am a very lucky mommy :)
