My boys have come up with some creative ideas for play much to their mother’s dismay; unfortunately it is almost always either destructive or dangerous. They have both taken to dumping the entire shelf of books on the floor and then climbing in for a better perspective. They have also figured out how to both ride the little rocking horse we purchased with only one of them in mind. I guess it’s not so bad if you’re the brother who takes a flying leap after gathering enough speed for the lighter one, and the horse, uncontrollably summersault completing their rotations only when something, usually hard, stops them from rolling. In the spirit of good parenting dad stood by and got it all on film! Here is what I’ll show you.

We always try to keep close tabs on the Elders (LDS Missionaries) in our area. I think we spent such a long time as single adults we feel an affiliation with others who are single adults now. We’ve tried to ensure they have some few comforts of home along their weary way. It has continued to be a source of joy for our family. I’m sure it will be such for years to come. Welcome to the family!! Today the District got together for a little competitive sport and a BBQ. Charcoal meat is not something these elders receive from eating out and those few dinner appointments. And can you believe; they liked it. A reminder of a world apart. Here are few of the shots I took.

Church Ball has nothing on these guys! E. Web & E. Williams

Today's MVP

Some days I look at my two boys and I see such a resemblance. It is almost as if they might have been twins in the pre-existence. But then I see them do things like this and I know for sure that each is a unique and mysterious Son of God.

Zack gives the orders around the house. With his protective head gear he is ready for battle on any level and he wants the world to know. Now if he could just get the darn thing to fit!

Jakob is an exacting soul. He gets quite upset when things do not go the way he planned. He’s always ready with a witty remark or gesture when Dad has the camera out.

I’ve been very slow at getting photos on the blog. Actually, I’m wondering if anyone even reds what I’ve placed here. Is my entire witticism going to waist? I have not, however, been slow at taking photos so let me share a few with you.

Marrian wanted me to capture a few photos extolling Zack and Jakob through their face and sweet smile. Here are a few of the many photos I’ve taken of the boys trying to get their personality captured in their face.

The boys and I have also had fun in the park now that the weather is warmer. Here are a few photos of what each boys is learning.
