Summers Schenanigans

Mother Nature has been playing cruel tricks on us - a week ago we enjoyed 2 BEAUTIFUL Warm, even HOT days (Fri. temp was in the 70s). Two days later we had snow and much cooler temps. We had our first taste of spring-summer and we are thirsty for more.... Spring Fever has officially taken over at our house:

Jack and Sam have been outside everyday, rain, snow, or shine and come in filthy but happy. We think that Jack possibly has Raynaud's Syndrome (where you have extremely cold hands and feet) is suffering from the crazy temps because he has been out without gloves most days. To keep himself entertained inside he has resorted to art: the supplies my makeup; the canvas his face! Nice! He is also in the slow process of potty training, not too successfully yet. He does find great pride in going by his self, and so far TWIX are the reward of choice.

Wax On - Wax Off - the boys are in LOVE with Karate Kid right now and Jack shows off his Mr. Myagi skills daily, all by his little lonesome.

Sam has been busy getting set up for Kindergarten, Tee-ball, Swimming Lessons and Basketball Camp (thank you Crapo boys... this is mostly because of his trip home). He is such a great kid. I have been finding times during the days where he and I will have an actual conversation about meaningful things. It is really nice, and I'm going to miss him when school starts in the Fall. He is loving BYU sports and Jimmermania right now - along with his dad. Shawn is what we call "Jimmer Drunk"! He literally can't get enough of him.

Lyv is such a sweety - but a sassy one at that! She knows what she wants and she demands instant satisfaction. But she is too stinkin' cute to not give in to her charms (or squeels!) A few milestones: #1) Hair bow in hair without a headband - It lasted about as long as it took to take the picture and then was clawed out!

#2) 1st Hat! Love this cute little hat on her:

#3) Standing - she has been pulling herself up onto everything, but she gets really scared once she is up, because she hasn't figured out how to get back down. Her legs can only support that booty for so long before she starts trembling from the effort.#4) 2nd Ballerina Outfit - I LOVE this outfit on Lyv. You know the outfits that are just perfect, this one is on her.
