I Got Worms

Two times this summer we've been given the novelty souvenir of suckers with worms inside. I gave one to Boston and surprise surprise he thought it was amazing and tasted delicious. At one point, he casually returned it saying, "The worm is getting pokey" (translated: the worm's legs are now exposed and I can feel them on my tongue).

Cassidy loves bugs so she, too, thought it was awesome and enjoyed Boston sharing it with her.

S'More Summer, Please

Just love these kidlets.

We're soaking up as much sunshine as we can before the dreaded winter arrives. We've enjoyed going to the children's museum, riding bikes, playing in any water source we can find, and visiting various friends' houses to enjoy their toys and make new messes.

Boston and Tayvrie (Aaron and Brandi's cutie) have become little buddies. They both keep requesting a sleepover. Precious. Scary?

And you can always count on my little spunky lady to give you a grin. This is her typical "show me your teeth" smile.

You don't see this in Los Angeles!

There are definitely some fun bonuses about living in Utah. For instance, one boring Wednesday afternoon, your neighbor unloads a tractor in his front yard to do some digging. Boston's eyes haven't been so wide since our last trip to Disneyland. He cautiously boarded the beast with our neighbor and helped lift his buddies up and down in the bucket. We have great neighbors and a cul-de-sac full of boys, which translates to bikes, balls, and dirt mounds full of tiny army soldiers. I love it. And I love the four dogs that gallop around and bring joy (and piles of poop) to our little corner of the world.

The city slickers (and yes, I'm pretty much still one of 'em) are worried that the kids are going to get sucked under the tires as seen in 'A Man in the Moon'...and perhaps this also appears a bit white trash. Think what you may, but Boston sure had a blast!
