May Days

I think about updating our blog often, but never seem to find the time to do it. That doesn't mean I have lots to blog about, it just means that I think about things I could blog about, but are obviously not worth staying up late at night to write about. Anyways, I have wanted to get some pictures up of the boys first campout of the summer. It was our Stakes Fathers and Sons campout last weekend, but it wasn't very warm weather, so I convinced Nate to just campout in the backyard with the boys instead of going up into the mountains and freezing to death. Gavin and Liam were so excited that they didn't care where they were going to sleep in a tent, so the backyard was just fine. We even roasted marshmallows over the grill. Gavin wanted to go to bed at 7:00pm that night just to be in the tent. Wouldn't it be nice if he always wanted to go to bed that early? Nate said that when they finally went out to go to sleep the boys were SO giddy getting into their sleeping bags. They all slept well, but even Nate admitted that it was cold. (that is something we don't hear from Nate very often) I was so glad that they stayed close to home.


Not much else going on with us. Nate spent last Saturday and most of this week building shelves in our garage. They are all built and just need to be painted. I will post pictures soon of the finished product and the organized garage! We are looking forward to the long weekend. The weather and been just perfect this week, not too hot and not too cold. It is hard to believe that May is almost over. Gavin finishes Preschool next Wednesday then we will be in the full swing of summer! I can't wait!

That looks like a lot of fun! I have a child-size tent that you could just set up in the boys room and potentially they would go to be at 7:00 every night! :)

I love Gavin's pose. He should be a super-model! :)
