Monday is a Fun day

We decided to enjoy the nice weather and headed to the zoo this morning.  We met up with grandma and the cousins and had a great time exploring.

 

The boys love getting out and checking out all of the animals.  I asked Hunter to identify one of the animals an antelope and Hunter said "I know what that is, its a cantaloupe."  It was so cute.

I think that their favorite right now is the baby bear and his exhibit.
Then at nap time Hunter wanted to work on his letters more.  He loves doing mommy preschool and is excited to do all of the letters of the alphabet to make an alphabet wall.

Today we worked on X is for xylophone.
We also decided to make an X-ray

Hunter's X-ray
Even though we aren't seeing the leaves change here we had fun making a fall tree.

Then, Hunter wanted to make some cloud dough to play with when Cameron woke up.  This is such fun stuff to play with and mold into different shapes.  The boys loved playing outside with this fun stuff.

This cuties are so fun and I love their imaginations and ideas.  They love doing projects, going places, and making new friends and I just love watching them and being a part of their life.  I am such a lucky mommy.

Nature Scavenger Hunt

On Sunday afternoon during Cameron's nap, Hunter and I decided to go on a walk and scavenger hunt.  Daddy wrote down a list of things to find with Hunter and we went out searching.

 We did pretty well and only missed finding a turtle, the item Hunter suggested.

 He took everything home for his nature collection.

 We had a little pit stop at the park.

Triumphantly walking home after getting nearly everything on the list.  I'm so glad the weather is finally cool enough so we can go on afternoon walks.

Ant House

On Saturday we had the missionaries over for dinner.  The boys loved helping prepare everything for the missionaries.  Hunter told me a few times to make a lot because the missionaries like to eat. 

While dad was barbecueing the boys decided to build an ant house.

 They love to collect items from the yard and pile them together to build a house for their ants.

They were so excited and so cute working together.

Playing at the Park

During preschool, Cameron and I decided to head over to the park and play. 

I love the one on one time I get with this little sweet boy.  We were the only ones at the park and he loved playing on the swings and just talking to me.

 I love his silly cheese grin.

We climbed on the toys and pretended to be climbing on a tower to save the princess (me).  He loves calling me his princess and is always saving me. 
Next he donned his Superman blanket to have some sticker fun.

I love this cute little guy and am so glad I get to be his mommy.
So much fun.

Pancakes and Storytime

The boys wanted pancakes for breakfast this morning, so I enlisted my little chefs to help.

 Everytime we make pancakes the boys want to make them different colors and shapes.  This time we decided to make ladybug pancakes, so we made the batter red and then the boys dropped chocolate chips in them to make their spots.

 Hunter was a little sad the spots were brown and not black, but he didn't mind when he began eating them and tasted the chocolate.
 Next we went to the library.  With the library just a couple of miles away it is one of our favorite stops and hangouts.  We always get funny looks as we walk out with 20 books or so but my boys love the library and reading their library books.  One of their favorite things at the library is going to storytime.  They are always singing the storytime songs at home and love all of the activities.

They especially love the bubbles and all I could get were blurry action stops. 

Getting their storytime stamp.  We love storytime.

Aunt Marcy's Art Show

Tonight we went to Marcy's Art Show at ASU.

 

She is doing an amazing project where she is documenting her son's life through pictures and videos.  Her pieces were spectacular and the boys loved seeing all the pictures of their cousin.

We had a great time there and went to dinner together as a family.  It was a fun little family night out.

More Birthday Presents

Cameron's birthfamily was so sweet and sent him some gift cards and money to spend on his very own gift.  So during Hunter's preschool, I took Cameron alone to check out the toys.  Cameron is such a sweet kid and was amazingly calm in the toy section going through all of the toys.  He would stop and check out a few here and there but loved looking around at everything.  We spent over an hour looking at all of his options and in the end he picked out a few new versions of his favorite toys.  He picked out a bunch of bubble toys to play with and a new pack of cooking play dough.  He was so excited to show Hunter his new cooking play dough.

This boy loves play dough so much and he loves cooking so it was a perfect pack for him.  He used the little oven to make pretend cookies and cakes and would give them to me, but he kept reminding me not to eat them.

 

I think his favorite part was playing with his brother and showing him his new toy from his birthmom.

Such sweet brothers.

Water Table

 Cameron got a water table for his birthday, which was a great gift for him.  He absolutely loves water and the boys had a blast playing around in the water.

We made some super bubbles for the boys to play with, which only added to the fun.

At the end the boys loved taking turns climbing into the water table.

Two adorable cuties.
