cabin fever

These pictures were taken a few weeks ago. At that time it was still cold enough that we didn't want to go outside - since then it has warmed up some, and we have gone out often:) This particular day, we had cabin fever so bad, we couldn't stand it. It had rained earlier that day, but we still went outside.
Scott decided to clean out the rain gutters - and Spencer couldn't handle himself unless he got one chance to climb up the ladder. And Parker was on cloud nine, eating anything within his reach

Can't get enough

Fire trucks never get old

Not much to blog about

The past few months have been very uneventful. I am just trying to survive until May. I am finishing up my last semester at BSU (I know, it took forever), so I am busy every week with papers and projects. May will fly by, packed with: Parker's birthday, my dad's birthday, Scott's birthday, Natalie's (niece) baptism, mother's day, finals week, my graduation, Katie's school and seminary graduation. I think we have at least 2 major events every week in May. Once we get through all of that, my whole family is taking a week long graduation vacation, the first week of June...and I can't wait.
Here are a few pictures of what we have done in the past few months (which is not a lot):
In February we bought our first camper. I've just learned to live with the fact that camping will be a part of my life...being married to Mr. Camper with 2 boys:) Scott has been wanting a camper basically since we got married, and I finally gave in. We bought a 2005, 8 foot tent trailer...i don't know how long it is when it's all popped up. Spencer (and Scott) are on cloud nine.
Parker turned 10 months in March. His 2 bottom teeth came in first, then his fangs came in on top:)
Borah Basketball game. Just waiting for the band to start playing again so they can resume dancing.
Spencer will only play baseball, as long as he's wearing his baseball hat.
This is what I wake up to every morning. They may seem cute in the morning...but neither of them have taken to sleeping very well

Who loves the ball pit?

Yes, Scott and I have managed to double the number of kids who sleep in our bed.
Parker loves going for rides with his big bro

Climbing high

I think I've got a climber on my hands

If you look really close, he's at the top of the triangle thing in the middle of the ball pit
