We didn’t do anything out-of-the-ordinary…but that doesn’t mean we did nothing extraordinary.
This spring, we:
Celebrated life at 38 years old…
Explored the world…
We watched the Olympics Opening Ceremony and found ALL the represented countries on our map.
Appreciated fine workmanship…
The BYU Museum of Art hosted two wonderful exhibits simultaneously. One was E.C. Escher (famed “Impossible Constructions” artist) and the other was Tiffany stained glass. Nate’s a big fan of the illusions and I’ve always been a big fan of these lamps.
The kids and Rob were studying this display of different glass and I was elsewhere. Nate asked Rob to choose two favorites. A couple of minutes later I came over and Nate asked the same of me.
Guess what? Out of all these samples, I happened to choose the same two favorites that Rob chose. Match made in heaven, we are!
Were awestruck by nature’s resilience (and OUR OWN!)…
Worked hard and went for it…
Visited the House of the Lord as an eternal family…
Played a prank on mom (who HATES PeeWee!)…
Expanded newly discovered brain cells…
Played at the Happiest Place on Earth in Utah…
Nate doesn’t look quite as happy here as he did on Cannibal.
Snuggled our peeps…
Created joy through craft…
Can you see Nate in his tank (with working gun)?
Every so often we clean out the fridge/freezer and pantry and let the kids “cook”
with all the throw-away ingredients. They get such a KICK out of this tradition! It started when Nate was a wee lad of 2 and I caught him “cooking” in the kitchen with food he found.
Now he’s making stuff like this!
And we basically just keep growing up way too fast!
These are extraordinary days that will be cherished forever.
