Have you ever seen those quizzes where they show you a close up picture of something and then you have to guess what the object actually is? Well – can you guess what this is?

If you guessed play dough with lots of funny animal parts in it – you were exactly right!
We’ve been having a lot of fun lately at our house. Everything seems nice when the weather is nice! A few days ago Jackson was begging to play play dough, and of course I had none. So I decided to make some. I’ve done this before, I don’t ever buy play dough anymore, but this time I added food coloring which made Jackson especially excited! He immediately put all the colors together and told me he was making a birthday cake. He was looking for candles to put on the cake and the animal pieces are what he came up with. We sang Happy Birthday to him and then he blew out the candles…over and over and over! I think he’s getting excited for all the birthdays coming up in our family.
This is what else we’ve been up to… Lacey is getting into everything lately and this is one of her favorite places! We have a lot of t.p. in this cupboard and I pick it up about 7000 times a day! :o) Jackson thinks its pretty fun too and this is usually what they do if I’m getting my hair done or if they’re just bored.
This is not rain…it’s the sprinkler. Yes we are playing in the sprinkler already. This little boy is a water baby! He lives for water! So on this day it was probably about 65* for the high and he thought he needed the sprinkler on – he kept telling me it wasn’t cold.

This is Lacey’s usual post when Jackson is outside, unless she’s in the swing out there. She gets so mad when he is outside and she is not. So we let her come out and play too.
She decided to look at and smell the flowers

Taste some of that delicious dirt (I think that face explains the taste)

And then she decided to try out that sprinkler that Jackson made look so fun! I don’t think she thought it was as fun as it looked.

She is walking everywhere by the way. She still falls quite a bit but it doesn’t stop her from trying to walk just a little faster!

Micah has been growing a beard for the Mountain Man Rendezvous that is going on this weekend. He was really excited about all the fun stuff they are doing. His group of boys were making some really cool knives in preparation for the big event. Hopefully they’re having a great time and everything went well. I’m sure we’ll post a picture of the beard at some point. Side note: If you really want to see it, Micah was on Fox 10 news on Thursday. While he was out to lunch his building was closed down for a suspicious looking powder in a package. It ended up being nothing, but on his was back to work the parking lot was blocked off. So he stopped and asked the news crew on the corner if they knew what was going on and they filled him in on a few details and then asked if they could interview him.

Oh what fun we have at our house! We are definitely the fun bus over here!
