Camping

We went camping over Memorial Day weekend this year, and yes, we got snowed on! Gotta love Idaho weather!

These are the only two pictures I took all weekend :) But it was lots of fun, Triptyn loves camping!

A couple weeks later, my nephews came up from Utah to spend a week or so. We had lots of fun with them, we love it when they come to visit us. Triptyn asked where they were for days after they were gone!

One day while they were here we went up to Kelley’s Canyon to enjoy the dirt bikes and roast some hot dogs!

 

     We’re looking forward to the next time they come to visit! :)

Working with Daddy

We finished our yard this spring and Triptyn LOVED riding in the skid loader, backhoe, or whatever else Mike was using to move dirt!

 

Terrible T's

Triptyn's new favorite words:
No
Mine
Watch out
Go away
I have it
and he's really good at yelling "MOMMY!"

At our house, it's no longer "terrible two's"
It's "terrible T's" because it started at TWENTY months!

All I have to say is hopefully I will learn great patience over the next little while. :)

It's Official

The binky is gone! Yay!

We took it away on Friday and he's been without it since. I seriously have been dreading this because Triptyn was so attached! We cut the nipple off and he was devastated for a little while. :( When he asked for it we gave it to him and told him it was broken, and on Sunday he threw it in the garbage!

He has still been crying for about five minutes when I put him to bed or down for a nap, but I'm thrilled. It went over much better than I thought it would!

Next step....switching to a big boy bed. :)

Another trip to SLC

 I feel like the only time I post is after we go to SLC. haha, I guess that's the only time I take pictures! This time we went down for a birthday party!

We got to my sister's on Friday night, basically just in time to go to bed! Then Saturday morning we woke up and it was gorgeous outside! My sister and I went for a walk to the park. She waited to tell me until we got there that we had to walk around 7 times, because that's 2 miles. Do you know the last time I walked 2 miles?? I don't even remember, but all I have to say about that is - I'm a little out of shape. :)

Then someone mentioned motorcycle, so naturally, Triptyn had to go for a ride. Trev, this picture is proof that Triptyn likes you! :)

 Triptyn also discovered that playing basketball with his cousins is awesome. He's quite the little ball hog.

After all the fun playing outside, it was off to the party! It was a double party--Teddy's 3rd b-day, and Axel's 1st b-day. It was at Jungle Jim's, which is like a little indoor amusement park. Here's Trip riding on the safari jeeps with Kaden.

The carousel with the horses was, by far, Triptyn's favorite ride. We went on it several times, it's a good thing I don't get sick easily! 

Next was the swings...

 After Jungle Jim's, we headed over to Little America for some swimming! I didn't take any pictures, but of course, Triptyn loved it. Mike taught him to jump off the side of the pool and oh boy, that was probably a bad idea! He loved it, and that's what he did most of the night. Even after I handed him to Mike, so I could get out, he tried to jump in while I wasn't looking! He would've swam all night if we would've let him.

Sunday was even warmer than Saturday, so we went to the park again. It was so funny, Triptyn had to try and brush all the bark off the steps every time he went up them.

 

This little boy LOVES slides, he went down every single one, even the metal ones (they were really fast!)

Just a cute picture of Triptyn, Chase, and Cole walking up the hill.

Their dog Clyde found a nice little spot to rest, it was so funny. They didn't have their camera, so being the awesome sister I am---I took one for them!

We had to take advantage of the nice weather and snap some pics of the fam.

I love this picture with Triptyn throwing his head back because he's laughing so hard. :)

Makes me laugh, you'd think he was striking a pose for the camera!

We had tons of fun in Utah! Thanks to the Brown's for letting us stay with them!

I had to include this last picture I took of Trip the other morning. Didn't you know the blankets are for your head, not your body?!  :)  Love this little boy so much!

(and yes, he still sleeps with a binky, i'm trying soo hard to get it away!)
