This one is for my mother

I had asked the boys on Sunday night to clean their room, so I could at least get to their beds to tuck them in. When I checked on their progress, it looked fabulous. Apparently when I was not looking, Austin had shoved everything he didn't feel like picking up into any nook and cranny he could find, because last night when I was in their room down on all four trying to find his wallet, this is what I found:

All of this stuff had been shoved under their dresser and in their tool chest drawers, all by my darling Austin Destroyer ( who quite proudly owned up to it).

This post is for my mother because I used to do the same thing when I was young. What goes around comes around, I guess.....

Going Private

Due to some weird stuff lately, I am going private with my blog. Please let me know if you are interested in following and I will add you email to my list of "approved viewers".

Thanks!

I love that my boys are best friends, and come up with the darnedest games to play, like this...

Buddies

Last week we had some good friends over to play. My friend Chelsea has 2 girls and a boy, we have 2 boys and a girl, and I realized as they were playing that they are all just within 6 months in age of their respective "playmate". So of course, I had to take some pictures. Plus, they all 6 are just such stinkin' cute kids!

Jacob (6) and Ashleigh (5+). Ashleigh was Jake's first kiss, on the way home from a temple trip no less.
Hailey (3+) and Austin (3). Have you ever seen a cuter pair of smiles?

Kai (1) and Leah (8 mos).

Chelsea and I have joked that these two are "intended" for each other and call them boyfriend and girlfriend. This was their first real playdate, however, and they hated each other! Ok, hated may be a strong word for such cute little bugs, but there was a lot of glaring and toy stealing and bottle slapping going on. I guess we will need to give it a few years.

Thanks Rivas' for such a fun afternoon!
