My Boys

My boys seem so big all of the sudden. Evan is running all around like a maniac. Braden is carrying on conversations that are...well...fun and entertaining! They are playing together more and more and also getting better at entertaining themselves. Makes life good for Mama!
The boys both had the flu last week. It was really mild...maybe because they had been vaccinated. But things were a little off schedule for the week. and now it's conference time and Braden is off school for the week. We've had a lot of time at home! Usually that much time in the house would drive me crazy. But it has been kind of nice!
We've been hanging out in our jammies and playing!
We are taking a family trip to Colorado in July. I'm so excited! My brother, my mom and I are going to have a weight loss competition that ends when we leave. The winner gets to choose their room at our vacation house!
The boys and I are going to head out a few days early to visit the Hedstroms and then the Rogers at their new homes. I can't wait to see my friends and to spend a week with my parents and my brother's family. We always have so much fun. And it's such a special chance to get to spend extended time with my niece and nephew. They are growing up too fast (10 and 8!) and I know the days of them wanting to "play" with Aunt Heather and Uncle Mike are numbered!
And Braden LOVES his cousins! He is so excited. And this will be the first time Evan gets to spend that much time with them. He is going to LOVE it!
