If Cliff has the day off, and you want to know where we are... this is where, good luck finding us! Notice the smooth water, just sitting around waiting for the water to get rough. Dad, you should come with us!!
Ryder said MAMA... this may not be a big deal to you, but it was. He has been saying DADA for about a 8 months, and finally this week.. he said MAMA.. WOW...REALLY...Thanks Ryder you made my week!
Bode and I love to go biking. I got downhill gear for Mothers Day. I am not very brave, but I am getting braver then I was without it. I have wanted to ride and jump off the pipe up Little Cottonwood Canyon for a long time. Chandler and Liesl came into town, and helped me out. I did it! This was big for me! Although one day soon Bode is going to be better then me....
The annual Lake Powell trip was fun as always. Lots of sun, frogs, lizards, flat water, and no rocks to the boat which always helps. The highlight of the trip was the frogs. Bode loved them and Ryder was terrified of them. The boys played, played and played some more. Ryder fell asleep at the lunch table in his food twice. To many friends and to much fun!
We have a shoe issue, any pair of shoes lasts about 3 weeks. People think we neglect our children, cause they ALWAYS have holes in theirs shoes. I bought them new shoes a month ago, and when I came home from girls camp last week the boys had another pair of new shoes. The wiggle car eats them... literally, it takes a chunk out of the toe. It is Ryder's favorite thing to do, and he is very good at it and brave. He comes down the neighbors driveway crusing and hits the curb on the other side of the street to slow down. They just don't make shoes that with stand it.
If it is Saturday, you can count on that we are at the lake. Enjoying the sun, having lunch and getting pulled by the boat till we cannot hang on any more. Bode's favorite thing is to ride in the very front hold on tight and go fast. He very excited to get into the water early this year, and jumped right in, it was to cold. Now that it is nice and warm we cannot talk him into getting in again.. Bummer!
We dream of FEET of snow, and windless summer days on the boat... and then ski, ski, and ski some more. But the greatest happiness comes, when his little eyes look up at us and then he begins to smile.
