The Boys.

PICTURE OVERLOAD!! And by overload I mean like 100. I cannot even tell you how much I love these boys! These pictures do not go in chronological order--they are all backwards. The beginning of the trip is at the bottom and the end is at the top. We went to Kirtland, the John Johnson Farm, Chuck-E-Cheese, (which is just as gross in Pennsylvania as it is in Utah) swimming, Mary Yoder's, the Whitney Store, etc. Mostly we just loved being with each other.
This kid loves bananas. LOVES them. He can eat an entire banana in 20 seconds. And look how cute he is!!

Me and boy #1. Sweet, sassy, spectacular love #1.


Me and boy #2. Soft, cuddly, (when he wants to be) kissable boy #2.
LOOK AT THAT FACE!! Mmmm...love him.
These boys never wear any clothes. The first thing Jake does when he gets home is take all his clothes off. Ricky waddles/runs around in his diaper and snakety Jake runs around in his underwear.

This picture is awesome because Jake is hitting Ricky in the head, but Ricky doesn't care because he has something to eat.
Getting ready to swim...and being sweet.
ADORE his squatty, fat body! Don't you just wanna kiss his little belly??
Ricky hates that he can't go up the stairs. He will stand at the gate waiting for someone to go up or down. At the end of the day when they are getting ready to go up to bed, Rick will take the gate away and Ricky thinks he has won some great prize. He freaks out because he is finally allowed to crawl up the stairs! He loves it.
This picture is great. We were waiting for Sarah to get ready and Jake has been waiting all morning to go swimming. He is resigned to just lay on the floor while Ricky just wants me to pick him up so he can take the camera.


Saying goodbye to Grandma--not a great picture of anyone, but had to document the moment.




Ha ha! Just after we finished eating at Mary Yoder's Ricky was tired of being restrained. Poor little guy just wanted to run around. On our way home he got very territorial of His Chair. Mom would rest her arm on the arm rest of his car seat and he would push it off. This became a common thing--he wanted to have control over something.
Mary herself.
MOSE YODER!! I wonder if this is Dwight's cousin Mose. I bet it is.
What a cute picture!! This rocking chair was just Ricky's size and he loved it!
On the steps of the John Johnson home where Joseph spoke the morning after being tarred and feathered.


This picture is Jake in the room where Joseph and Sidney translated and received revelations. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ also appeared to them in this room. Powerfully sacred place.
Just a clock in the entryway that I loved.



Love this picture!! It is totally a grandpa pose and facial expression.



Grandma and Jakie playing air hockey at Chuck-E-Cheese.
Mom's awesome outfit that she was proud of.
Also a grandpa look! He has the raised eyebrow and everything. What a little stud.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Family.
Rick wanted to be Leonardo--the leader of the turtles.
See--no clothes.
kiss, Kiss, KISS!
Since i'm the best aunt ever, I bought Jake this ninja turtle backpack. He loved it. It came with 4 masks, which were also a hit. Thank you Hot Topic.
Look at that cute kindergartener! I can't believe he is that old!!
Boy #2's trick.

Yes. I love them. They can have whatever they want, because they are SO CUTE!
