Another Day In Paradise...

Life with two little boys is always crazy but for some reason, it seems the last few days are especially patience-testing. Let's just name a few situations:

*Going into Camden's room in the morning and finding he has taken his diaper off, pooped and spread it EVERYWHERE, including his smiling little face!

*Sunday afternoon Camden was bathed, lotioned, hair done, dressed for church and everything. He decides to go play with Mason whom is still in the tub. Not thinking it was too big a deal, I let him. Hmmm, bad mistake. Cam reaches into the tub to try and get a toy and yep, you guessed it...falls head first into the tub full of water in his church clothes!

*Same Sunday, Camden has a blow out diaper during sacrament all over his khaki, yes khaki shorts AND all over mom's skirt.

*Mason wakes up two nights in a row about five different times! The first night he wanted to change where he was sleeping. So he went from the bottom bunk, to his tent, to the top bunk to the floor! The second night he just needed a drink...EVERY TWO HOURS!!!

*Mason gets a hold of some scissors and decides to cut apart my scripture case that is on my nightstand. (I guess I should be thankful he didn't cut my scriptures since he LOVES to cut paper!)

Okay, so not the best of weeks but I have to say: One moment today just made everything else that has happened disappear...I went to use the bathroom and discovered...my three year old changed the toilet paper roll ALL BY HIMSELF! Maybe I am doing something right as a Mom!

Shootin'

Ben went shooting with his family a few weekends ago. This is something he really enjoys so I was glad my sis-in-law was able to capture the moment. This is Bryan (bro-in-law), Christina (littlest sis), Grandpa Wood, Ron (Ben's dad), Aaron (Ben's bro) and of course the ever-so-handsome, Ben.

It's What Fun IS!!!

On Friday the 4th we went to Lagoon. It wasn't as crazy busy as I thought it would be. Marci was there with Brad's family so we tagged along with them. I was hoping Mason would have so much fun and just run from ride to ride. Well...I was a little disappointed he hasn't developed his love for rollercoasters quite yet. He did ride a whoppping FOUR rides which included:
The Cars...He rode these about five different times!



The boats...

The Train...

Camden had just fallen asleep so Marci took Mason on the train. I was surprised by how many animals they had there: zebras, camels, tigers, kangaroos











And the last ride Mason rode was...drum roll please... the Merry-Go-Round!!! Not the best picture but the best I could get of the three of us.
Considering we were in the 95 degree heat for over eight hours...the boys did really well and had a lot of fun! Camden was content with sitting in the stroller and Mason was content with watching his cousins go on the rides. We met up with Lindsey and Lacey and while Lindsey watched the boys, Lacey and I went on two rides. I was excited to go on the new ride "Wicked" but after standing in line for a few minutes, they closed the ride on us...WHAT??? I was waiting all day to go on it! Oh well, I went on "The Wild Mouse" and "The Spider".


My cute, messy boys!
