Playing Around in Sedona

I was itching to get out of town and into the wilderness, so we packed up for a Sedona day trip today. It was breezy and beautiful and we had a perfect day. We did classic boy things - throwing rocks in the water, climbing rocks, running in fields, and had a picnic lunch. The boys (and Mama, too) enjoyed a nap on the way home. Here's a snippet of how gorgeous Sedona is.

Happy 11th Birthday, Zoe!

There's No Turning Back Now!

We have concrete! I can't believe the big hole in our yard is slowly becoming a pool! It was an exciting day. The boys loved watching the cement truck and the men spraying the concrete on. It was done in a few hours. Billy couldn't resist going down into the pool after dinner and, of course, Everett went with him. This did not make a certain 17 month old too happy. Where brother goes, he goes, so he almost jumped in after them! Billy tried to just hold him in there, but no way. If Everett got to walk, then Lionel has to walk. All Everett kept saying was, "Let's put water in the pool!" Poor kid is really learning how to be patient.
