Banana Boats

We barbequed for the first time this spring on Sunday.  (Well, the first time at our house anyway.)
 Thanks to the Girl's Camp certification I was in charge of, we've discovered banana boats. Mmmmm, good.  If you've never experienced them, I suggest you try it at your next camp out or barbeque.  Who can say "no" to marshmallows, chocolate chips, and brown sugar all shoved into a banana and then grilled. Not me.
 I decided to finish off some cream I had sitting in my refrigerator.  Threw that on top of everything.  Wasn't a mistake, that's for sure.
 Kyson is a fan of anything sweet.  I think he ate everything except the banana.
Delicious! 

See?

Proof that he does stop eventually.....He's been falling asleep in my bed at bedtime.  Otherwise, he's in and out of his bedroom and it keeps Shayli awake.  I move him when I get sleepy but some nights he comes back to cuddle or he'll call out for me in the middle of the night.  When I get there he says, "sleep with me for one minute."  And he holds up on finger. Sometimes I still hear him humming himself to sleep like he used to do when he was a baby.  It makes me smile.  They sure grow up fast!

Happy Mother's Day!

 We had a great Mother's Day at our house.  I was awakened with breakfast in bed again.  It's becoming quite the tradition.  Actually, I woke up before anyone came into my room.  I could hear all the excited whispers downstairs while everyone got my "gourmet" breakfast ready.  Lucky Charms = lucky me!  I think the kids get more excited about holidays that don't involve presents for them....



Who wouldn't love these kids?  I tell ya, I'm the luckiest mom in the world.  And if you don't believe me, just check out my Mother's Day Cake.  Yum!  Okay, I'll let the cat out of the bag.  I made it.  I just had Ryan hold it for me.  :)  But what I didn't make was the iPad I opened up.  Sa-Weet.  What can I say, I'm tech junkie.  Not.  But I should be with all my tech-y things. 
So, to sum up my day.  Fabulous.  Breakfast in bed, no Ward Council, church and flowers, Angels Camp for dinner, and presents in between.  Can't wait for the next one!
