Mowing the lawn

As we were doing yard work Blake decided he wanted to help mow the lawn. He mowed the lawn in a crazy pattern, as he tried to maneuver the lawn mower around, but it eventually got mowed and it looked great.

Nemo Ride

We love having Disneyland passes because you don't have to go all day. Friday night my mom and I took the boys and we decided our main ride would be the Nemo Submarines. This ride has been open for a year now, but I have never taken my boys on it because the line is always so long. It was a 45 minute wait so we decided we would finally go on it (15 minute lines are usually my max).

The boys loved the ride and the line went fast.

I took Blake to watch the Star Wars show while Grandma and Logan waited in line. Blake has to watch this show every time we go to Disneyland. He is my Star Wars geek.

Logan and Grandma in line.

No More Training Wheels!!

For Christmas this year Blake got his first bike. He quickly learned how to ride his bike with his training wheels on. He began to ride his bike to hard for the poor training wheels and they kept coming off. We got tired of always having to fix his training wheels, so today Rich took them off. Blake got on his bike and started to ride his bike as if he still had his training wheels on. He was so excited and I was shocked that he learned so quickly to ride his bike.

May is national bike month so Rich and I used it as a reason for us to get new bikes. The store is still putting my bike together, but I can't wait to get it so we can ride as a family.

Line them up.

Logan loves playing with his cars. He likes to line them up on the coach, table or anywhere. This is his quiet time where he likes to be left alone and be in his own little world.

Memorial Day

Since today was Memorial Day we went to visit Grandpa Rauch's grave site. They put flags and crosses at all of the Veteran grave sites for today.

Every Monday for family home evening we get together with Grandma Shelly, Grandpa Wesley, Aunt Danielle, Uncle Matthew, Ellie, Carson, and Grandma Rauch. It is nice to be able to see our family every week. Since it was Memorial Day we planted a rose bush in honor of Grandpa Rauch in Grandmas Rauch's back yard.

Rich's Birthday

Rich was upset when I showed him our blog page because there were not enough pictures of him. I don't have many pictures of Rich or I, but I just took this picture on his birthday last week. I attempted to make him an ultimate fighter cake.

Life with Boys

Having two boys is such a joy, I am never board and always entertained. These are pictures of the daily activities we participate in. They include, but are not limited to

Playing in diapers,

running around in underwear

eating with table manners,

jumping in, on or off anything,

playing with balls,

pushing toys around,
