our zoo

after making my 2 delightful boys a nice wholesome McAnnie egg sandwich and waiting on them hand and foot, wyatt decided to see how far he could launch it across the room and parker wanted to see if his gag reflex was still working properly and proceeded to deposit his yellowish mashed up food onto the table. while cleaning up parker's mess i turned around to see wyatt with the milk (the top off of course) on the floor trying to pour it into his tiny winy little cup. disaster. the agel (owen) was sleeping peacefully thru all of this. so while cleaning up that mess (parker's mess was still needing attention) wyatt ran outside and made a nice little puddle of urine on the front porch. this, i'll have you know, was the straw that broke the camel's back. i grabbed both their arms, marched them right into their room and said, (with a smile of course)"Goodbye." then i locked the door (we have the lock on the outside of the door) and I thought about reaching for the ice cream, especially since we have breyer's vanilla bean but decided i'd do some internet surfing instead. while looking at civilized human beings on various blogs i noticed it was extremely quiet...too quiet for a home of 3 boys. i went into their room and parker was sleeping soundly in his bed and wyatt was found under the table fast asleep with his stuffed animals all around him. yea! peace and quiet. so if you ask me now, "how is it with 3?" i'll tell you everytime...it's a zoo.

here's a lot of pix from our summer. i'm not going to explain them all, for your sakes and mine. who reads posts anyway?




yes, he is asleep!










we went to the boise zoo and it rained...good times!





dillon went on 3 backpacking trips this summer to the sawtooth mountains (ID), wagner lake (WY), and the windriver range (WY). He loved it, to say the least.
