3rd Week of May

Here are some highlights from the 3rd week of May.  

Hudson drinking from the hose.  Get got all wet (image that), so he took a bath to warm up.  

He wanted to use his hair brush to scrub his body.  Whatever works :)

Hudson's silly poses while sleeping.  Hudson helping Steve take the trash out to the curb.

On Tuesday, Pauline and I did another Pilates class together.  We didn't get a picture this time :)

On Wednesday, May 17th, Steve took the boys and Nyles' friend Lincoln down to Utah Lake to fish for White Bass.  The wind picked up and they weren't catching any.  As soon as it died down though they started biting, so they stayed a little longer and caught several.  Lincoln also caught his very first fish!

Having fun catching fish!

Silly Hudson playing w/ his drill, fixing the playhouse.

Hudson after eating a chocolate donut.  Nyles giving Hudson a "ride" around the house.

Our beautiful Irises are finally blooming.  We have so many different colors coming in, I love it!

Friday, Steve took the boys over to a park and put up hammocks and played for a while.  Carter's friend Colin came over to play that afternoon as well.  They had a blast!  Hudson thought it was really fun to swing, but then threw up on Steve!  They came home shortly after.

Our cute pears starting to come in.  The boys playing on the trampoline, then wrapping Hudson up in their snakes and surrounding him w/ their stuffed animals.  Our Honey Locust trees coming in along w/ the bushes.  

On Saturday we went kayaking for the first time this year!  We went down to Utah Lake to kayak down the Provo River.  We went down a little ways then found that they dammed it off.  Steve read they were doing that, but thought it was further down the road.

We then turned around and came back up the river.

Steve w/ Hudson, and Rob trying to avoid the sun.  It was pretty warm at 83 degrees.

Carter and Nyles making their way down the river.  Cute ducks.

Carter got tired coming back up the river so we stopped and got a rope from the car, and tied him to Steve.  I also took Hudson and brought him w/ me.

We then rowed around to the lake and back around into the cove area.  It was a lot of fun!  We then went down to Provo and ended up at Café Rio for dinner.  There was a Little Caesars next to Café Rio, so Carter got a pizza instead.  We picked one up for him and all ate together in Café Rio.

Silly Piper laying on Nyles' stuffed animal snake.  Cute Hudson's pose while asleep.  Steve took Nyles and Carter to lay in the hammock again Sunday afternoon while Hudson took a nap.

Steve also smoked a beef roast on Sunday.  It was super yummy!  Steve just used water, instead of beef broth, Mrs. Dash salt free spices and an onion to flavor it as a way to have low sodium, especially for Dave.  We went over to Diane/LuDean's for dinner.  Dave and Joann met us there.  We played a game after dinner, which was fun.  Diane sent us home w/ Otter Pops.  The boys only ate a "few" coming home.  Thanks Diane!  Thanks for the fun everyone :)
