Busy, but fun!

We had a lot of fun this past weekend, but didn't actually take many pictures, in fact I only found pictures of Jaron on the camera, but oh well, he's still cute.









Jaron loves to be outside and he loves to be around his brothers.  Logan especially can always make him laugh.  :)

So, this past weekend we had some fun BBQs.  The first one on Friday was for our Ward Dinner Groups, where several families get together and have dinner or games or something.  Almost everyone in the group showed up.  We ended up having it at our house and the weather turned out to be perfect so we were able to eat outside.

We had some good food and good conversation while all the little kids just ran around and played.  Other neighbors started coming out to visit too.  I think we were outside visiting and playing until about 11:00pm  which is really late for us.  The kids were outside until about 10:30 as well and having a blast.  I thought for sure they would sleep in the next day, but alas, their idea of sleeping in is staying in bed until 7:00...mine, I was hoping for at least 9:00

On Saturday we had a Neighborhood BBQ planned and has been for about a month.  There were a couple new families that moved in recently that said they could come, so we were looking forward to visiting and getting to know some new people.  It turned out pretty good.  Morgan had to leave a little early because we came into some tickets for the ReAl Salt Lake soccer game. He was originally going to take Logan, but Logan was busy with friends and didn't want to go, so he took Damon instead.  It was good for them to have some father son time and they both enjoyed it.  Logan can have the next turn.  :)

Again people were out late visiting, so it was about 10:00pm that night before we all got to bed.  I think they slept until 8:00 on Sunday morning.  Still not enough though and it proved to be too much for the kids on Sunday.  Sacrament meeting was a nightmare.  We just kept rotating through the boys who had to go out with Daddy, he had to take out each on in turn.  In the end, Logan got sent home to do "reverent" time until everybody else got home from church.  As soon as he finally sat still for about 5 minutes he fell asleep.  Same thing happened to Damon when he got home from church and had to do his "reverent" time.

Later that night we were out sitting on the porch enjoying the weather and the boys wanted to come out soooo bad, but lost that opportunity from their earlier behavior, they did not like that.  Poor Damon even said, "we apologize...I know, can we go back to church and try again and we promise we'll be reverent."  Hehe, we'll see how next week really goes.  :)

All said and done though, I'm glad that the boys had a fun and busy weekend playing with friends and soaking up the summer time.  I love my boys so much and love seeing them grow.  Until next time...
