New Blog Design!

We've been wanting to update the skin for our blog ... so we did.  It's even mobile friendly (if you don't have a smart phone, get the newest version of Firefox or Chrome and make the window skinny - it's cool I promise)

Here's some pics of the boys for good measure

And if you are interested, the CSS code that mobilfies this theme is on my tech blog (it's a default blogger template, so it may work on others as well.  Or it may not.)

New Bikes

My mom recently sent Zachary a Smart Balance Bike. They're a pretty cool idea for teaching kids how to balance and to prepare them for a "big kid bike". If anyone's interested in knowing more about the bike that's all the rage with families in my parents' ward, you can go to this website.

I think it's a hit

Caleb wanted to get in on the action

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!

Back in April we celebrated my birthday and my main presents from Derrick and the parents were a new bike and bike trailer/double jogging stroller.

We got everyone helmet-ed up and biked for about 7 miles.


It was pretty hot and the boys passed out. Caleb's a little small for the trailer so we used the boppy to fill in the extra space.

Playing in the Rain

With other places getting pounded with rain we've had a surprising lack of it over here. I decided to pray for it last week and was happy to see that it ended up raining the next day! Gotta love those quick answers. The boys and I went out to play in the rain and get incredibly dirty. Derrick joined us after he got home from work. Enjoy!

Zach loved standing under a steady stream coming off a carport
