Spring Fever

Maybe its spring finally? That is subject to change (this is Idaho after all) but it has been nice for a few days. Here is what we have been up to:

Quincy is glad that it is warm enough for him to play in the sandbox, he loves the sandbox!

 The boys have been "helping" with the laundry. 

Actually they love to help, they bring me their laundry baskets and take them back when I put their clothes in the washer. They also love to help move the clothes from the washer to the dryer. Now if they could just learn to fold and put them away!

 Clayton would live in a tree if we would let him

 This was our kids way of helping set up tables and chairs for a funeral...

 Clay got a new big boy bike and he is having so much fun learning to ride it!

Firefighting in the front yard

 Clayton earned stickers by being a good boy and when his chart was full he got a new transformer

Campground Scouting

We drove up to check out Good Enough Creek Campground today it was pretty muddy from all the melted snow but it was a cool campground and the boys had a blast exploring. When we pulled into the parking area Clayton excitedly said "Let's hit the trail guys!" I am glad that our kids love adventure.

Bike riding

We have been out on our bikes a few times already this year. 

We went with the Swopes and the Wallaces/Grandma Self this week. The bike paths here are really fun to explore.

Bros

Clayton has a huge imagination. He is always coming up with the most silly stuff. His latest thing is telling jokes. Here are his two most told jokes (He came up with these all on his own): 

Q:What does the room do when it's light?

A: The mailman sleeps!

(careful, you might miss the punch line on that one because it doesn't make any sense!)

Knock, Knock!

Who's there?

Clayton.

Clayton who?

Clayton, with your fruit!

(I know that you are thinking… this kid has a career in comedy for sure!)

Quincy is growing like crazy but still not talking. He taught himself how to do a summersault, he can point to most of his body parts when you ask him and he has also learned the art of faking unfairness to get his older brother in trouble… watch that sneaky boy close! He is mischievous behind that cute smile and bright eyes.

Snowshoeing?

We went to the Mink Creek Nordic Center with the Swope family to hike the snowshoe trail but most of the snow was melted so the trail was pretty muddy so instead we went sledding on crunchy ice. It was so much fun and there were only minor injuries :) 

We didn't get a lot of pictures, we got some pretty funny videos but they take too long to load on blogger so the few pictures will have to be enough.

2015

The new year always comes before I know it!

We rang in 2015 at home, I actually don't know if we even stayed awake so apparently it was a memorable party… 

Sean is back to school and work and our boys are growing, growing every day. 

Here are a few pictures from this month: 

Quincy got this little tent for Christmas to put his dogs in. Clayton is wearing it so he can be an Indian chief.
