My awesome boys

Friday night Matt, Ammon and I went up to Storm Mtn. picnic area with Matt's parents last minute. We bought some sandwiches and got some s'mores stuff and packed up in the car to go. We had a great time! I think we're going to go up again in the next week or two. Ammon loved it and says "fire" anytime anyone mentions camping, mountains, hiking, etc. A little river was right by our picnic site and Ammon LOVED throwing rocks in the river; it was quite the challenge to tear him away from that. I discovered that Matt is a professional marshmallow roaster. He does it exactly the way I like it and gets it evenly around the whole marshmallow. I can only ever get the top. So he roasted almost all my mallows:) he's so nice.

Ammon was very good to stay away from the fire.

Sorry Sue, I didn't mean to take the picture right when Matt was in front of you, our camera is just wierd lately and takes FOREVER to actually take the picture.Monday night we went to my grandma's neighbor to swim. We had lots of fun. Ammon loves his uncle Daniel and laughs every time he sees him. He had fun watching his mommy and daddy jump off the diving board. Matt is also a very talented cannonballer:), I think he won the contest of who could make the most waves. He did a flip and landed on his back curled up in a ball. I'm so lucky to be married to someone who is so talented and fun.


Ammon is so smart! Matt has been reading the brainy baby books to Ammon a lot. There are four books: animals, abc's, number, and shapes and colors. Ammon's favorites are the shapes and colors, and numbers. He can almost count to 10 by himself, but he does better when there is a visual reference, like his book. The first video just shows the book so you can see him recognize the numbers. The second video he just did better in saying them. He tends to get excited about certain numbers at times and therefore will just keep saying them over and over which throws off his "groove". Isn't he cute?

I tried to comment on this a little while ago, and it didn't work, so this is the second attempt. Anyway, I think that little Ammon is so smart! I just can't get over it! I think you and Matt are such great parents, and not just because Ammon knows numbers and shapes. I hope I can be like you, Kathie, when I'm a mom; I'm inspired by your example of parenting. Your children will surely rise up and call you and Matt blessed.
