Sweet Andy

We just had the sweetest experience with Andy. He was playing in our backyard with some buddies and they found a little bird that was hurt. They were really concerned about it so they came and got some adults. After all of our guests left, Andy was still concerned about "birdy". He wanted to go find her. We got a flash light and found her. She was in pretty bad shape, but we didn't know what to do, so we put her in a tree. Charles then explained to Andy that Birdy may not live very long and that she would go to heaven. Andy asked if we could "tell Heavenly Father that we found Birdy and that she was hurt" He said the sweetest little prayer (I'm not gonna lie, I was bawling) Then we talked a little more about heaven. We told him that Grandpa Zeke would be there to take care of Birdy. Andy asked if he could go there too. We explained that he needed to stay here on earth with us. Andy asked again if we could tell Heavenly Father that we found Birdy. He was so concerned about her. It was so sweet to see his concern and compassion for that little bird. We are so blessed to have such a sweetheart in our home!

Father's day and beyond

I found this super fun site with printable Star Wars stuff. I had tons of fun doing it for Charles for Father's day. He loved it and Andy thinks it super awesome. Andy's favorite one is the "Vaderade"

This week Dallin started eating with a spoon. These are pics of his first time. He did pretty well considering.....

We took the boys camping at South Fork a few weeks ago. They LOVED it! On Friday evening we let them play in the stream that runs though the camp. They both loved throwing rocks and mud. At one point Dallin was just smearing mud all over his legs. 

For my birthday (in March) I got this new bed frame. I also found this duvet cover and pillows that I loved. 

I repainted our night stand and then covered some boxes in wrapping paper and scrap book paper. I know this is a little OCD, but I also wrapped the tissue box in matching paper. I love how it all turned out. 

Yes, that is a bike helmet on Andy :)

My cute sister Michelle came to visit from Washington. They boys absolutely adored her and her husband Ben. Normally, when I read bedtime stories to the boys, Dallin will listen to about 1 book and then he is done. When Michelle read to them, Dallin sat for 3 books! He kept looking over at me and giggling and then looking back at the book. We love our Chell!!
