Fun in the Sun, Zoo, and Ear Tubes

It's been a fun week here in Salt Lake. The weather was really really nice this weekend. We sat out in the backyard on Saturday and had frozen drinks and slushies. The boys really liked them but didn't get that they would melt quickly. (Reed left, Grant Right)

It was so warm in the sun we decided to put the sprinkler out to play in. The boys couldn't figure out how it was spraying them. They would get close and it would move toward them and they would run away. It was really funny.

They got comfortable with it by the end. And cold. The water here is soooooo cold out of the tap.

By the end, both of them had blue lips and we had to take their clothes off to warm them up. (Reed)

On Sunday Jeff bought some balloons at the store. They love balloons right now, "balooloo", they call them.

After that we decided to have another water park in the backyard and put up the baby pool and sprinkler again. This time we put on our swim suits and rash guards. (Reed left, Grant Right)

Reed thought it was so funny that he got himself into the toy bucket.

On Monday I had to get my oil changed and transmission serviced. The boys were so good while we waited. We ran out of things to do so they started playing with the stuff in my purse. Reed calling "daddy" on the phone.

After they were bored with that they looked for pictures of cats and dogs in the magazines.

Grant prefers Road and Track.

Yesterday was a beautiful day. We went to the zoo with my friends Krystal and her sister Laurie. Laurie has twins too so we got some looks.

Here are the boys with Brianna at the Tigers.

They loved the elephant and couldn't believe how big she was. She came up really close to us.


Today Grant had his ear tubes placed. He was totally cool and collected before the procedure.




He played nicely with the toys in the waiting room until they took him back. Afterwards he was NOT happy. He was screaming and scratching me. I look like I've been in a fight with a cat. He calmed down eventually and has been resting since. I've been told he'll be fine by tomorrow. We'll see. Thanks for all your prayers. I think he's going to make it. :)
