Knock, Knock. Who's There? ME! (maybe...)

So, I might be back to blogging.!? Is that at all convincing to you? Don't you just love these kinds of posts? So many questions, so many promises...

After our computer was murdered  died last year, (remember the milk?) I thought I had it all figured out blogging from my phone. Well, turns out the Blogger App is the absolute worst and after losing a couple posts that I had composed but that my phone wouldn't publish, I threw in the towel. Also, I got Instagram which is like blogging at hyper speed so yea. No apologies, no regrets. That said, we bought a new computer on Saturday and I figured I'd give this blog a little love. (Meanwhile Camden is playing in the dog water, flinging forks across the kitchen and beating my wood floor with a real kid-sized golf club- Just keepin' it real y'all!) So much time has passed I don't know where to start, so I thought I'd give a brief update of where we are today and then go back and do a monthly post for the months I missed and then be all caught up. Plans. plans. I got plans. Haha, yea.

Today I took Camden in for his 15 (!?) month check up. He looks great. He is the smallest of my babies so far. Here's the rundown: Weight- 22lbs 4.5oz 42%, Length- 30 1/4 inches 16%(Bailey genes. say what?) Head Circumference- 47 1/2 cm 69%. You know I love me some bobble head baby around here!

He's not pooping. He is crouching down to smell the flowers. That little fact makes this picture instantly go from the most awkward to the most adorable. AmIright?

Ryan and Brady are loving the summer life in Cedar Hills! There is always someone to play with and they are enjoying the extra long days running wild with their friends. That said, Brady still needs a nap. Don't believe me? 

Exhibit A: Brady begged to skip his nap and invite a friend over. After a while they decided to watch a movie. The movie ended. The friend came upstairs and said he was going home. Brady never emerged from the basement. I went downstairs to find him passed out straight up Ninja Turtle style on the theater seats. No nap indeed.

Exhibit B: "I don't need a nap today." Ten minutes later...

Exhibit C: It was a Saturday so I wasn't going to push a nap. I realized I hadn't seen Brady in a long time. I walk down to the theater to find him curled up in a sliver of sunshine fast asleep. You get the idea. 

With Brady still napping, I was worried Ryan would be bored while the other boys napped during the day. Also, I was pretty bummed to be giving up my precious kid-free nap time. So far this has been a non-issue. While Brady and Camden catch some Zs Ryan either plays outside, at a friend's house or has a friend over. It's been wonderful. 

We bought a pass to Thanksgiving Point in May and are having a lot of fun making good use of it. The pass gives you access to the Gardens, the Dinosaur Museum, the Farm and the brand new Children's Museum. We've gone at least once a week since school's been out. Sometimes more! 

I had to capture these most perfectly perfect clouds at the Farm. We went a couple Saturdays ago with my sisters for the Birthday celebration for the baby animals. 

This was at the Gardens during the Tulip Festival this Spring. It's been my wallpaper on my phone ever since. 

This last Saturday we went to the Children's Museum. It is huge! We've been probably 5 times and each time we've gone we've found something new. The boys loved playing on this spider web. Ryan kept telling everyone he was a "Black Whiddle". I chose not to correct him. (Brady is in red at the top, Ryan is to the right in a white shirt) 

The Dino Museum is always a favorite. This picture is from Valentine's Day. What's more romantic than dinosaurs on Valentine's Day!? Look at that Raptors red eye of love and flirty smile. 

It's great that Thanksgiving Point is so close and just across the way from Zach's work. We are hoping to do Thanksgiving Point in the morning and meet Zach for lunch on the way home a few times this summer. 

We are looking forward to spending some time in St. George over the fourth of July. Other than that, we are having fun enjoying a summer where we get to stay put for once. I am realizing that it will be the first summer in 4 years that we haven't made a move somewhere. 2011-moved to Utah for Zach to go to BYU. 2012- moved to Arkansas for 12 weeks for Zach's internship with WalMart. 2013- moved to Cedar Hills. Yea, I think we'll enjoy a lazy summer with no packing, no moving and no major life changes. It's gonna be good. 

*** To All My Commenting Friends: My sincerest apologies for the white noise coming from my end these past few months. I have read your posts, I have laughed at your posts (only the funny ones) and I have genuinely enjoyed your posts. You will recall that the Blogger App is the absolute worst and as such wouldn't let me publish any comments to your blog. I promise to do better now that I have a computer. So maybe we can still be friends? Pretty please?
