Weekend Overhaul

We've been up to a lot the past week but the most exciting thing is that this little guy finally decided that he likes walking better than crawling. Before today, he has been very able to walk, just not very willing. He gets so frustrated when he falls and then he just wont do it anymore. As of tonight, however, when he falls he just gets right back up and starts walking again. Which is very exciting! He is also riding in a big boy car seat.

I took him to the doctor on Friday. The doctor is a little worried about his weight. He is below the 5th percentile. I don't really know why, he is a really good eater, and he loves bottles of whole milk he gets. I know he is a good eater, he eats meat, fruits, veggies-everything. But I am still going to try to beef him up a bit. I've been adding more butter to his veggies, feeding him pediasure, he's back on formula, etc. I would love any fattening tips!

Last Saturday I had an early morning meeting. When I returned this is what I found... Luckily my calling is photographer so I had my camera in hand. Rory was no where in sight.

When I yelled his name he thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Maybe this has something to do with his weight-he's more interested in climbing than eating what's on his tray.

This past weekend Rory and I decided we needed to spend together. Just our family. It has been a LONG time since we have done anything fun together just the four of us, so the whole weekend was dedicated to having family time. It will be a long post, but I want to document it all. It started early on Thursday night. We bathed our kids, got them in their jammies, and headed out to visit what we hoped would be a hole for our house. But this is what we found...

A huge pile of rocks, window casings, window wells, and that wire stuff. Our kids didn't mind! Needless to say I had to re-bathe them when we got home!

Then, on Friday, we picked Rory up from work and headed to Fat Cats where we bowled. It was Kaemon's first time bowling and he LOVED it! He still talks about it all the time. He was pretty good for a two-year old, I guess he's a natural like his Daddy. Eli had fun playing with the balls and watching them come back up through the hole.

After bowling, we went to the Pizza Factory for dinner. It was yummy! Then we walked to the temple to walk around on the grounds and talk to Kaemon about Temples and Angel Moroni.

On Saturday we headed back to Ogden for the Arts Festival at the Union Station. They had tons of art displays, live bands, all the museums were free, and activities for kids. We had a blast and swore to make it a tradition.

Kaemon sporting the bird mask he made, the fan he painted, and the frisbee he colored on.

And, later, Rory sporting the bird mask. If only the picture had sound. I'm sure you would enjoy the wonderful bird noises he made.

Later that night, we put the kids to bed and watched a movie we rented. It was the perfect end to a perfect day-and weekend.
