summer fun

we had a busy week with lots of time with mr. o, which has been awesome.

last monday we tagged along on an overnighter in moab and hung out at the hotel pool while he worked. it was a short trip, but fun to be together and it made me realise how long it's been since i had been more than an hour or so from home.

then on wednesday we met some friends at the 'airplane museum'- only we got there fifteen minutes before they closed, so we had to look fast. afterwards we went to the coils house and had a delicious meal and fun hanging out with our awesome friends.

friday we went camping with some other friends, which the boys absolutely loved. throwing dirt was pretty much the favorite activity, as was wandering off (or 'travelling', as miles called it). we were lucky the throckmortons had a trailer we could use, as well as cooking supplies!

sunday we were supposed to host my families' monthly dinner, but it turned out that only my parents could make it, so we invited the neighbors over to help us eat all the food we had prepared. good thing they didn't mind being the standby company!
(i wouldn't mind either if it meant some of the delicious poppy seed cake my mom made.)

then today the boys and i met up with my sister and her cute water babies at the pool. we had fun, and the boys were being so good that we lost track of time and stayed much longer than we had planned- poor little finn missed his nap and got a sunburn. i feel terrible, sunburns are bad news for babies. the strong baby sunscreen we have gives him a rash, so i recently got some gentler stuff from a health food store, but it's only an SPF 15.
next time we'll reapply, and not stay out so long!

hopefully we can relax a bit in the next few days, but i also want to pack in all the fun i can before boy number three gets here and life as i know it comes to an end!
