We took Cooper and Amelia this afternoon because their mom was not feeling well and we walked around the temple and fed ducks at the nature park.  It was a warm summer day and we had a lot of fun.

Have I mentioned that every Sunday, with ay piece of paper you get, you turn it into a paper airplane?    This has been going on for at least a year and at first, you needed someone to make it for you, but now, you make it for yourself and also make one for Connor.

Did someoe give you a baby?  No sleeping,

Another busy day!  We went to a huge community garage sale and you worked your magic and got yourself some good deals.  Every time I turned around, you were asking people how much items cost.  You ended up with an army plane, which is your 2nd one in 2 weeks, a car holder that is shaped like a tire and some books.  But, if you had your way, or more money, you would have ended up with a lot more.

We then went to Grandma's and helped her a little bit and you and Connor helped me clean the car and we cleaned it really good!  Then we went to Bear World.  Connor and you really love going there and it is a lot of fun!  You both really love the rides nd you are both thrilled that one of the rides from last year that was broken is now fixed.

Then we went grocery shopping and by then you were both exhausted, but after dinner,  I did get you both to help me clean your bedroom.  You are so funny with your "treasures"!  You are a little bit of a hoarder and everything you find or anything you think is important, your out under you bed.  You even have a box full almost of rocks and another box full of used glow sticks.  When it gets messy and disorganized, you are pretty good at getting it all put back together.  Our deal is you can keep anything you want under the bed as long as you keep it all in boxes and cleaned up.

At the end of the day, you told me thank you for taking you to garage sale.  I love it when you thank for me things like that.  I love doing things with you boys and it makes it so much sweeter when you give me a thank you!  I love you, Triston!

We had a ward dinner tonight at a nearby park.  You had a lot of fun and played with a lot of different friends.  You can make friends wherever we go and play with any kids around.

We also went bowling with Jeni, John and Mckayla.  You bowled a 102!  You take it very seriously.  Sometimes you used the ramp, but when you didn't, you could roll the ball really well!  At Fatcats where we went, there was a lady doing face painting.  You and Triston love getting your face painted.  You got a pirate look, with a bandana and eye patch.  Connor got a dolphin and Mackayla got a butterfly.

Happy Birthday to Grandma Packer!  You got to stay with Grandma for a while this afternoon and of course helped plant more flowers and play with the new kitty.

We then had a dinner for Grandma at a Mexican restaurant and then had cake for her at home.  You love Grandma and Grandpa so much!  We are so lucky that we get to live so close to them.

Aunt Suzanne was with us tonight and we don't see her very often.  She was very surprised to see your "grown-up" side as she watched you order your food and how you talked to to her.  You asked for tomatoes on the side, which shocked even me.  You really are a little grown up!

Today as we were driving around Rexburg, you saw a house for sale and said that maybe you would buy that when you grew up.  I told you that when you grew up, you could end up living anywhere you wanted.  Connor said he wanted to live in Mountain Home and you asked him if that was so he could see Quinton everyday and Connor said "yes".

We then started talking about what you both wanted to be when you grew up.  Today, you had found our box of old Halloween costumes and you wore the police costume almost all day.  So, you said that being a policeman would be really cool because they get to have guns and lasers.  But then you said that you really want to be a doctor because you really want to help people.  And then your little mind got to thinking and you decided that policemen also help people, so you might be a policeman!  Connor decided that he wanted to be doctor because they are really important.  I know that whatever you do become, you will be great and amazing and I know that no matter what, you will always help people!

On our way home from Idaho Falls today, you and Connor started playing " I Spy".  Your picks were a little abstract.  You once said that you saw something shiny, which ended up being my skin, because you said it was shiny in the sunlight.  We also started saying things that we liked the best about each other.  You said that you loved Connor because he was your little brother and you liked him even when he was mean.  Connor said that he liked you because you always pick nice shirts to wear.  And you said that you loved me because I played with you.

Connor said, hugs from mom and that Triston

We went to the splash park for the first time this summer and I was shocked at how much fun you and Connor had!  You both went down the slides, which has never happened before.  I think you went down the slide once at the end of last summer!  And you didn't let the cold stop you, either!  Last summer, you would get cold and then stand in one place and shiver, or lay on the warm concrete.  But, today you just kept running around and getting wet!
