St George

 Scott and I got to spent the weekend in St George for our anniversary.  My parents took Adam for the weekend and we enjoyed a weekend of sightseeing, shopping, eating, and relaxing.  We started the weekend with buying sunglasses for mom and dad.  At the dollar store we found some for Adam that matched Scott's.  

When we got home Adam loved his glasses... he asks to wear them all the time now.

Adam leaving to spend the night at grandma's.  He wanted to carry his own bag and I just thought it was so cute to watch him carrying his bag down the stairs.  He is so independent lately!

Sick Day

One day we woke up and Adam was acting sleepy and clingy.  We took his temp and it was 103.  We went to the doctor to make sure everything was ok and we got instructions to watch him and try to keep him cool.  We spent the day with cuddles and movies.  When it was time for mom and dad to watch a show we gave him our phone and let him watch his show on it.  

Here he is as he was starting to feel better with his show on the phone... he is getting pretty good at watching shows and playing games on my phone... and asks for it fairly often.

Snowbird

 My parents and grandparents spent a week this spring at Snowbird resort.  Adam and I decided to crash their party and we went up and spent the night there and go to play for 2 days.  

Adam loved the swimming pool and the playground. 

At the pool he enjoyed going back and forth from the baby pool to the steps in the big pool.  He knew just how deep he could go in the big pool.  Grandpa was great at following him back and forth between the pools.

We went up to Snowbird last year too, but then it was covered in snow.  This year there was much less snow and it was interesting to see the difference.  They put a new playground up, I think the snow was a bit heavy for it last year, and Adam had so much fun.  He LOVED the swing.

And the airplane and bounced around.

We can't forget the slides.

Or the rock wall to climb up with Great Grandpa keeping an eye on him.

 

Just relaxing in the swing sucking his fingers.

What a beautiful view.

While walking back we saw a squirrel like animal so we stopped to watch... it is in this picture, it just kind of blends in with the grass.

Driving home.  This little boy was so tired... it was hard for him to sleep in one big room with everyone else.   He fell asleep before we were out of the mountain... and at first that sucker was in his mouth while he was asleep... I just wasn't fast enough to catch it in the picture.

Tractor

 The other day I tried to work in my garden....yes I tried and failed.  I got maybe 10 weeds pulled before I had to go and run after Adam.  First we went to see the horses that live in the field on the edge of the garden and we were there forever.  

He didn't want to leave... until the tractor drove in.  It drove past the garden and stopped right at the edge of the garden and the field and Adam was fascinated to see it.  

I'm grateful for a community garden so that I can garden right now... but I can't wait to have a yard of my own to garden in my own yard and not have to worry about Adam destroying everyone elses gardens.  He even has his own little truck to play with at the garden and that lasts about 5 min.  My mom is great to come and help me in the garden and we can often have Scott or my Dad take care of Adam.

Another time Adam and I took a walk around our neighborhood.  There is a section that is still under construction and Adam loved to look at that tractor too.  He had so much fun just looking at it.  Another time we went while it was moving and then sat watching it move dirt around.  I could only get him to let me move on by saying it was time for lunch and mac and cheese.  If we go for a walk he also stops to watch the people in the pool.  Our pool doesn't have a kiddie pool so we don't go there very often, but we do take him to 7 peaks water part and he loves it.
Adam also like to collect rocks.  Most times we go for walks we end up being at least 2 rocks home.  He loves to stop by water and throw rocks in.  He is a crazy little boy!

Swings

 The family left in the early afternoon of Memorial Day.  Scott worked for a bit and then for the evening we went to the park as a family.  

Adam loved the swing and the slide... it was hard to get him off. 

He often throws a tantrum when it is time to move onto another activity... especially if it is time to stop playing outside, but we work through it and at least he has tons of fun while we are playing.

Sunday Walk

 We took a Sunday walk and took the leftover bread to feed the ducks.  Adam sure loves the ducks and had tons of fun with Grandma.  We also checked out my garden and then Adam found the tire swing... it took awhile to get him home after that.

Bowling

 Another thing that Adam loves is bowling and with Grandma and Grandpa here we decided to go bowling together and Adam loved it... it even did ok when it wasn't his turn... most of the time.  He loved using the ramp and we all took turns helping him.

Grandma's turn to help

Watching the ball go down the lane

And hanging from the ramp... everything is made for hanging on or climbing up right

Grandpa's turn to help... Adam loved pushing that ball

He also liked the soda and pizza that we got, especially the soda...  At home we usually only have milk or water so this kid loves it when we gets juice or soda... and half the time he calls soda juice.

Daddy helping.  They decided to roll it down rather than use the ramp this time.  

I just love this picture!
