Life sure has its ups and downs and right now I'm just enjoying some really great "up" time. The weather is getting warmer, we can play outside more. Logan is so full of information and soaking everything in and comes up with the wildest stories. Damon is always playful, eats great and talks a lot. Tragon doesn't spit up anymore and is doing great with solids, he can sit up on his own and really scoot around, does some great push ups, but not quite crawling (secretly I don't want him to crawl yet, he's going to be a busy baby). We've got a roof over our heads, food in our belly, and we're surrounded by awesome people!
So, with the weather being warmer...sometimes, we found a giant dirt mountain that the boys love to climb and what luck it happens to be in our "front yard" one of the many perks living in a new construction neighborhood.
Anytime we go outside, they usually want to go to the "lake" (a little pond of water filling a future home lot that hasn't drained, which now has ducks) or the "mountain" Our neighbor friend came with us one day so I was able to run back inside and grab my camera.
The first time Morgan took the boys out I was terrified they would fall and get hurt, but the dirt is pretty soft and they really can't fall too far from any one point and they love it.
They were "bowling" down the mountain. Usually when Tragon is taking his naps we go outside and play if it's warm enough.
Damon can get up by himself, but usually would wait at the bottom for me to run up with him. It's actually a pretty good workout going up and down about 20 times. :)
Of course, have the mountain ended up in my house from their pockets and shoes and socks, but we'll just have to get used to that this Spring and Summer because we love being outside.
A couple weekends ago my mom and sister in law came down to visit, so we blew up the air mattress and it stayed in the extra room for about a week. This was the new parking lot for all the cars.
Logan loves talking on the phone (those are the old ones that don't really work). It's so fun to hear him carrying on a conversation with some imaginary person, although most of the time it's grandma he's talking to.
Playing in the dirt again. Of course we had to take my niece and nephew to the mountain when they came to visit. We even broke out the shovels.
Damon gets along really well with his cousins when he's one on one with them. He was having a great time with Sequoia.
Logan and Lincoln had a blast climbing up the mountain and sliding down and bowling and just getting dirty.
From behind these two could be twins, they both have the cute Charlie Brown head, but turn them around and you can tell, one with bright blue eyes, and one with the darkest of browns.
If you have ever met my mom, you know she is probably the coolest person in the world. I love when she comes and visits, she's always getting down and dirty with the grandkids and teaching me how to be better mom.
They had some pretty awesome roads and holes dug out for the cars.
We had a great time playing and really wore the kids out. I think all of them fell asleep within about 5 minutes of bedtime. That's pretty good for four hyper kids 3 and under. That left us to have a girls movie night while Morgan was at a YM activity.
Logan has always been my "clean" child, but when it comes to digging and playing in the dirt and climbing and hiking he's all boy and doesn't really mind it at all. We had a really great time and I hope that we can do it again sometime soon! And hopefully the weather will be just a tad bit warmer. Maybe I'll stay caught up on my blog this go around too. I really want to try and post shorter entries that deal with the day to day humor that I find and then maybe blogging won't be so daunting. So, until next time.....

Oh your mom is so cute just digging right away with all the kids. It sure looks like you have a lot to keep your boys busy right in your front yard :)
