A fun weekend

With the rainy weather coming and going it has been nice to take advantage of the nice weather that has snuck in a little over the weekend! On Saturday, William got to hang out with one of his favorite neighbors while Danny and I went out for a little bit. It was so nice to walk around Temple Square and in to Blue Lemon for a smoothie (I've heard good things about that place, but our experience wasn't that great. Maybe it was just not the best day to go? We'll have to go back and try again). We also have been talking about getting a new camera for a while, and finally decided to do it. Danny spoils me rotten. We've had a lot of fun playing with it the last few days! William likes to make it hard, rarely giving us opportunities to take pictures of anything of the back of his head. Does he ever stop moving?! I guess that's the fun of it.

My parents were in Hawaii on Mother's Day, so we all got together last night for dinner. It was especially fun because William's only cousin on my side was in town from Florida. My brother Ben wasn't able to come, but it was so fun to see Max and Andrea! Max is four, and is such a fun kid! He's definitely my brother's son. He is also very polite, and so cute to his cousin William. It was fun to see them play together! Here is Auntie Char and William giving Max a tickle torture:
William, out of the blue (in the middle of the tickling and rolling around), walked up and gave Max one of his big hugs. Max wasn't quite sure what to do about it...

But the tickling continued after!Max and William are 2 peas in a pod in that they both LOVE Grandma's red jeep. Tom had taken the doors off, and William and Max couldn't keep their hands off that steering wheel!We all strapped in while Grandpa took us for a ride over the speed bumps.

My mom kept a lot of our old toys... including our Laser Tag game! woo hoo! I always felt like I was on Star Trek with those... it must've been the noise it makes.

We spent some time in the backyard as well, jumping on the tramp, chasing Sadie, and swinging on the swings.But we shortly returned to the front yard because Ted and his friend made quite the find at a yard sale the day before! William was fascinated watching the older kids give the younger kids rides up and down the street. Max had a blast getting a ride from Auntie Sarah. William loved hanging out in the front yard with all the kids. There was a group of three or four of them who were in kindergarten and first grade that he would follow up and down the side walk like he was one of the gang. It was such a nice evening to be outside!

Grandma gave William a chocolate chip cookie to eat on the ride home.

He gobbled it up and zonked out before we were even halfway there!

William is lucky to have such fun grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins!
