Laumeier Sculpture Park

For play group today, we went to Laumeier Sculpture park. It was pretty neat to see all the funky sculptures. The kids enjoyed running all over the place while the moms sat on a bench in the shade to chat.

This big eyeball was a favorite with the kids:


These were some of the other sculptures:







It was a fun morning, but I'm glad we went early, because it got HOT! Evan was DRIPPING with sweat by the time we were done!

Mamma Mia!

I went to see Mamma Mia! with some friends last night. It's a REALLY fun flick (if you like musicals)!! We had a great time. The movie is 10 times better if you already know all the songs! Of course, then you have to sit there the whole time trying not to sing. :)

Food Stealer

Asher is such a good little eater. He will eat pretty much anything. And he eats LOTS! Evan, however, takes after his dad and is a very picky eater. In fact, if we are trying to get him to eat anything new, he has to sniff it first. Funny kid!

Lately, whenever Evan gets down from the table after eating a meal, Asher will climb up in his chair and finish off whatever Evan left behind!

Babaloo

Babaloo, a guy who sings silly children's songs, performed at our mall this morning. At the last minute, I decided to take the kids over to see him. I'm so glad I did. Evan LOVED it! He laughed his head off and danced the whole time. It's so fun that he's getting old enough to enjoy these kinds of things.

Pool Party!

On Tuesday, we had some pool fun! Every year, our Relief Society president (well, not anymore as of last week!) hosts a Logan Swim Party at her house for the Logan wives and kiddos. This year, we had a big storm the night before and Logan lost power, so the guys were able to come, too! It was loads of fun. I didn't take my camera because it was raining when we left and I was worried about it getting wet, but our friend, Alanna, was nice enough to snap some pictures of our family for us. It ended up clearing up and being a great afternoon for swimming.

Evan is our little fish. He just LOVES the water, and he has no fear. He enjoyed going down the slide and jumping off the diving board all by himself!


Asher wasn't quite so sure about the slide, as you can see on his face in this picture. He eventually decided it was fun, though, and would laugh at the end.


Of course, the guys eventually started getting creative about how they went down the slide. They all ended up looking something like this at the end, though:


But, Ben did have his graceful moments, too:


Evan played hard and never quit, but Asher enjoyed being snuggled most of the time:




(It looks like he has a bloody nose, but really that's rug burn from when he took a tumble at church.)

The Muny!

I went out with some girlfriends to see a show at The Muny last night. It was really fun! The Muny is an outdoor theater where they perform shows (mostly Broadway shows). This week is the 90th anniversary of The Muny, so they did a show made up of snippets from their most popular productions, starting with old operettas from the early 1900's, up through all the favorites (Show Boat, West Side Story, Hello Dolly, etc.). It was a great show, and fun to get out with the girls!


Lisa, Me, Rainee, Meggan, Liz.
Lisa's son Maxwell was actually in the show!


*Interesting side note: I'm the only one in this picture who's not pregnant!

As a mom of two boys, I've learned...
