Life Lately
Lulu learned how to mow. It isn't easy!:
TJ learned how to draw a pika:
Hammer, you always want me to take pictures of your food. It's funny. This time it was because the popsicle with a bite in it made it look like it would be the picture on the box:
Our neighbors shared Star Wars cookies that they made to celebrate May the Fourth be with you:
Cherry Hill finally opened their mini golf. Even though no one else was there, we wore masks the whole time like the sign said. When we got to the end we saw the next people playing without masks and I was annoyed that we had left ours on the whole time. Are we supposed to wear them or not?:
TJ practicing the piano, like a crab:
The next time we did mini golf Lulu and I only wore masks to check in. No one was around again. We had fun. Fish decided to leave his mask on the whole time:
We checked out a new bike area, but Hammer's bike had a flat tire and Lulu was doing homework. So, these two boys went and tried it out:
See TJ's little black helmet and Fish's orange helmet:
It's hard to tell because you can't see all of the trails, but it turned out to be a pretty intense bike trail. Fish had to get off and walk his bike down parts he thought were too steep and walk it up other steep trails. TJ was loving it until he went too fast and fell off. At the very bottom of the hill. He panicked when he saw blood on his elbow and left his bike down there and frantically walked back up to me at the parking lot at the top. I then had to find Fish and the two bikes and walk TJ's bike back up. It was a good learning experience. If you're walking back up then walk your bike back up with you! And Fish was so sweet to just stand there by the bike so it wouldn't get stolen. He had no idea how long he'd have to wait for me to find him. I was glad I did find him, it's like a maze out there. Anyway, it's a fun trail but maybe for older kids, like teenagers.
We got to go to the zoo with Gramma one morning:
Lulu, you stayed home again doing school.
We only wore our masks part of the time.
This peacock walking right by us was really cool to see up close:
The animals were all active or easily spotted, which was fun. Look at the tiger right by the window:
Out on a walk and enjoying our neighbor's lilacs:
We had tons of fun at this hike called Hobb's Reservoir. We didn't leave very much time so we didn't make it far. We're already planning to go back soon.
Look what a beautiful day it was:
We loved this swing:
Of course the boys needed to get into the water:
TJ reading Harry Potter:
On Dad's birthday we planted our garden:
We also sang to him with the homemade ice cream he made, and some peach cobbler:
TJ, sometimes you have a hard time making a normal face when I take pictures. We got a good laugh out of all three of those shots of Dad's birthday.
Fish, your teacher left donuts and a joke book on our doorstep and you were stoked:
Another day we took bikes back to our favorite BMX park. We also explored the main bike trail that goes down by the river. I didn't have my bike, Lulu was using mine. So I got a good walk in and took pictures of the pretty area:
Another biking excursion! This one was to a park in Layton that we've been to many times, but had never biked before. It was so fun:
It ends at the new Vietnam War Memorial Wall. It was cool to see. So many many many names. The cost of freedom is very high:
One Saturday we went to Great Grandma and Grandpa's to help plant their garden and wash windows:
We enjoyed their company and eating pizza. Such a fun annual tradition:
Pluto looking over the swing to see if we through the ball yet:
Another time at Cherry Hill and TJ got a hole in one on this super hard hole! We were both super excited:
Picnic with cousins:
followed by a little hike to see Bigfoot:
and some time at the pond. That was a fun day:
Lulu made these chocolate dipped strawberries and a card for a friend:
Snow cones one windy day!:
Hammer, you were obsessed with the flavor combination you made. It tasted like jolly ranchers. So we took a picture of your cup to remember strawberry, blue raspberry, and watermelon:
Yep. Another food picture. Cuz look how big this breakfast sandwich is:
It got super hot lastly and we broke out the water blob. We'll see how long it lasts this summer. It already has two little holes:
And lastly I got together with my sisters, just for fun. I brought stuff to watercolor. I remembered the paper and brushes but forgot the paints. Ha ha. So we just did a puzzle and chatted. It was fun:
Man, May was awesome.
Love you all,
Mom
