You were in UTAH?? Seriously, I would so love to go shopping next time.
Farm life is awesome. Kids don't get tired of it till they are at least 14.
Sheep huh? Must be south of Provo. We have family in Sanpete county.
Our babies share a vocabulary.
Seriously, why do kids think work is fun at OTHER people's houses but not their own? Huh?
Sounds like so much fun! I love your nicknames for your kids. Especially Mr. Squishy. =)
I remember the 12 hour drives from Phoenix to Utah Valley. Fun stuff. :)
Sounds like a wonderful weekend!
First of all, I'm so sad the name Mr. Squishy is already taken, because I'd like to use it for my son someday.
Secondly, I LOVE THOSE KIDS!
Thirdly, that picture of Mr. Squishy REALLY made me want to squish him (in a loving adorable-baby-squoosh-kind-of-way)
I love the "Uncle Brian" answer - totally made me giggle!
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Don't you just love little getaways? Where in Utah were you? If you say my town I am gonna get very upset. :)
Um, how the heck do you get a zillion comments for each post? Oh right, it's cuz your blog is the coolest blog EVER. Jealous. :)
And in answer to your question, I haven't finished Catching Fire yet! Doh! But so far it's freaking INTENSE. SO good. I'll let you know what I think when I finish it...sometime...hopefully soon.
Sniff, Sniff...go and make me homesick why don't you :). Tell LP I want to go move pipes too!
I moved sprinkler pipes this summer, very good exercise.
MS gives has the most insightful answers.
And, look at you all Barbara Walters, getting right to the heart of what your audience was dying to know and squeezing out a tender tear or two.
That's not very many words, but it sure tells a lot about your kids. Cute.
Hahahaha - I want to go play on Uncle Brian now too!
(I do NOT mean that the way it sounds...!)
