"What the heck are these?!"

Kason has figured out how to open and close all the bedroom/closet doors in our house. I can't believe he's tall enough to open them! So we had to buy some door knob covers and it was funny to see Kason's reaction to them:

Fun with Family

About a week ago, my brother, Jake, came to visit us and brought his two little kids. Jordan is 2 (he will be 3 in November) and Sophie is 2 months old. It was a great visit! I hadn't seen Sophie since the day after she was born so I was just dying to see her! She is such a cutie! I wanted to get a picture of Kason "holding" Sophie and as you can see in the photo, he wasn't really happy to oblige! He didn't even want to touch her! Little stinker!

It was SO cute - Sophie was just laying on the mat and Jordan came up and layed right by her! I think he's going to be a very protective older brother as they get older!

Kason decided that touching Sophie's toes were ok haha!

Sleepy Boy!

I just have to show you how CUTE my little guy is! Kason decided to wake up at about 5:15 this morning. And, of course, he DIDN'T go back to sleep!!! VERY frustrating for me but I guess it's part of the joys of bein a mom! Anyway, I was holding him while checkin out all the blogs and he decided he wanted down. The next thing I noticed was this:

I love it when he falls asleep just anywhere out of pure exhaustion! He's my sweet little boy and I love him so much!

Smith Family Reunion in St. George

This past weekend we went down to St. George for a family reunion. We left Friday morning and got to St. George around 4ish. While we were driving, everyone else was hiking in Zion National Park. After unloading all of our stuff, we met up with the rest of the family at a splash park.

All Kason would do is go up to the spouts and barely touch the water. He wouldn't walk in them at all! But when he did touch the water he would giggle to himself. It was pretty cute.

Shawn had to walk him into the fountain then he was out just as fast! He did not want to be in there!

My cousin's little boy had his foot over one of the spouts and Kason was standing in the line of it. Then he started to take his foot off and it got Kason right in the face. At first Kason was like, "What's in my face?" Then he realized he didn't like it very much and this was his face.

A great "Family Photo Opp"

This park was pretty cool! Besides the fountain in the previous pictures (like the one at the Gateway), it also had a very shallow river running through it. I would splash my feet then Kason would copy me - it was pretty funny!

We found this little statue of a pig at the park and just had to get a picture of Kason "riding" it.

We got up early Saturday morning and met everyone at Sand Hollow. There were two boats we could ride on and fun activities on the beach. Kason and Shawn experienced their first boat ride ever!

The sand wasn't brown, it was RED! Just like the red rocks you see everywhere in St. George. It was pretty crazy!

SMILE Shawn!!!

Kason definitely was in his element here! He loved the lake, loved the toys, loved the sand, and on and on and on!!!

Kason seemed to like the boat ride... He didn't really show any emotion but I don't know if he could with that life jacket on haha! If you look at his hair, it's all spikey. He WONT wear hats so I had to put a TON of sunblock on his head and in his hair - poor kid!

I thought this was too cute! He fell asleep on the boat. He fell asleep sitting up then we laid him down on the boat floor.

I had a great experience too! I went on a FABULOUS tube ride! My cousin's boat had two tubes tied together so you could have "tube wars." I'm not a wild and crazy girl - I had only been in a tube once before (like 4 years ago) and that was a pretty mellow ride. My cousin, Dave, wasn't pretty mellow! HAHA!!! No it was great though! I had a BLAST!!! I think I never wanted to ride wild and crazy because I was afraid to fall out, but I definitely did - TWICE!!! My "war" buddy was my cousin, Natalie, and only I fell out the first time. So I got back in my tube and went at it again. My cousin got a video of our second ride and if I can get it from her, I'll post it later. But we BOTH fell off the second time around! CRAZY but FUN!!!
