Oh the littlest boy

Two moments from today:

"Mommy, I poopy. Mommy, I stink!" Yes, child, you did. Maybe it's time to start potty training? I think so.
While rocking him before bed (which is still done nightly. Will, aren't you glad that you are the baby, and are treated like one even at age 2 1/2?): "Mom, I go in my crib. I wuv you mom. Goodnight!" I love you too, kiddo.

We're Back!

We're finally back home after a month away (and much needed break from the Arizona heat.) Alex, Will and I had a great 3 weeks in Idaho and Park City spending time with my parents who were home from Guatemala for the month, seeing friends and hanging out with cousins. It was so nice to spend time outside in normal summer weather! Alan joined us and my entire family for the last week at Lake Tahoe. We'd never been and we LOVED it! Having the mountains and the beach all in one place was totally ideal. My whole family (all 28 of us) were together and it was a blast. We had beach days, picnics in the mountains, rock-skipping on a river, great meals, family bike rides, late-nights playing games, lots of time with cousins, and we even found time for a nap or two. It was a great trip- sad to say goodbye to my parents, once again, but we had a great month!!

Boy + Couch + Imagination = Fun!

As Christie and the boys are out of town, I was looking through folders of the boys and found these pictures of Alex....They made me laugh and made me remember the simple pleasures we all had as four-year-olds. What happened to those days?
