George is 3!

We love this sweet Georgie boy. On his actual birthday, we were still in the throes of Charlie's first week of kindergarten and all the emotions and logistics involved with that. So I was grateful that he's still young enough to be oblivious to the calendar. We celebrated the next day with doughnuts and a candle and later in the weekend with our families. George got just what any 3-year-old would want- a chance to sing "Happy Birthday" and blow out his candles over and over. (The only catch was that only he was allowed to sing.)

Since his birthday, he takes great pride in showing me how tall or strong or fast he is because, as he says, "I free-year-old!" 

A Day with Grandpa in the Canyon

While I was at the doTERRA convention, Grandpa Rick helped John with the boys. He decided an outing up Millcreek Canyon was the perfect activity for some busy boys on a hot day. And I think he was right. They loved it and spent the whole time jumping from rocks, playing in the stream and gathering rocks and sticks. I love being so close to the mountains. I love these adventurous boys. I love my father-in-law's love of nature and willingness to spend quality time with his grandchildren instilling that love as well.
