Twice the mess, and fun

So we finally tried spoon feeding the boys. I was putting it off as long as possible because I knew it was just going to be double the mess. Well it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - as you can see. We finally have it even better under control - what a magical wonder are plastic bibs that catch all food and spit up! And how cute they look. So yes this is my life these days - feeding, changing, cleaning, but I love it because I love the boys so much. I love the saying (something to the effect) "I never knew that a short chubby balding guy would be my type" yet here I am in love with two of them.There is so much to catch up on. We went to Bear Lake with the Benson Family, which was so fun. The only bummer was "Daddy" Rees couldn't come because of work. We got to play on the beach at the lake with all the cousins who could make it. While Rees took a long nap Benson went to the park for the first time with his cousin Lola. We had fun blowing bubbles, going on the swing, and Uncle Jon took him down the slide. It was great! I am sure it was more fun for me though.

The greatest though was later Jon teaching me how to long board. It was really fun, but what was so great was me thinking I was hot stuff and then all of a sudden completely biffing it on the cement! Oh how life has a way of humbling you! I got up pretty fast - telling Jon I'm o.k., but the reality was I couldn't use my arm for a few days. How lame! Maybe someday I'll master the long board - hahaha it makes me laugh. Dad always taught us to get back up after we were hurt and do it again, well I think I will.
