Elder Thomas #2

My baby brother left the MTC in Mexico City today, he's headed to teach the gospel in Independence, Missouri to all the spanish speakers in that area.

We are so proud of you Ethan! You will be an awesome missionary! Thank you for setting a good example for your nephews. You are always in our prayers. We love you!!

Mesa Falls

Today's family adventure was a trip to Mesa Falls, right outside of Ashton ID. It was awesome! It was dang hot outside though! Quincy enjoyed the waterfalls from the comfort of his carseat inside his shaded stroller... the rest of us got super sweaty and hot but it was still a lot of fun and the waterfalls were incredible!! 

Smiles

This little man has been practicing his smiles... He is so handsome! 

We love to see his smiles when we talk to him. 

Snoozing

Quincy loves to snooze. 

His favorite place to nap is in Mom and Dad's bed! Sean and I have thought about sleeping in his bassinet so he can have our bed and sleep better... I'm sure we could fit :) Quincy is a good napper just like Clayton... he doesn't snore like his big brother though!

Here are some pictures of our little sleeper:

Hiking

We took Sean's family to Cherry Springs today for a small hike. It was super hot out there but we had fun anyway!

Lava Hot Springs Swimming

We went to the pool at Lava Hot Springs with Sean's family today. It was really fun! Clayton loves swimming, he was fearless and would just jump in the water! His favorite part was the kid's area that was indoors. Quincy didn't get in the water, he was happy just lounging in the shade! We had a great time, it was nice to get some sun! 

Four in a Bed

After the boys woke up this morning, they both got in our bed to snuggle. Sean's mom was able to snap a picture! It didn't last long, but for a few minutes it was perfect. This is the life! I really doubt it gets much better than this! We love our boys! 

Blessed

We blessed Quincy today. The blessing went great! I am grateful that my boys have a Dad who honors his priesthood and can give them blessings, it's so awesome to be able to hear those direct words of guidance and promised blessings from our Heavenly Father.
We love Quincy so much and are so glad that he is part of our family!
Thank you to all the family members that came to support us, it really meant so much.
Here are a few pictures (it was a million degrees today and the wind was blowing hot air in our faces so the pictures are pretty terrible but at least we took a couple to document!)
