Assorted family members fell asleep last night star gazing on the trampoline. Gratefully I was not a part of that claustrophobic sleeping arrangement.

What? You don't let your five year old operate heavy machinery? You would if you had this five year old.

Things my kids know for sure: When your dad is gone for two and half months he will surely spoil you in a big way.

To celebrate Brian being home, we decided to kick the celebratory week we went out to breakfast at the Black Bear Diner. That place gives you more food than the starving prisoners of war in Japan could have eaten. But it was oh, so good.

Walking around shirtless with uncombed hair is the new normal for this boy this summer.

Hailey had a sleepover with the BFF today. They had two little shadows everywhere they went. One did whatever they did and the other... well, he just stood there and drooled on himself.

We got a big package in the mail today, a belated anniversary gift from my long lost husband. I guess he knew I needed to wear some children out in a major way.

Second hottest item in the house: The indoor, in ground trampoline. It's a wonder we didn't wear that out either.

The hottest item in the rental house: A slide on each floor. There were 7 slides total in this gigantic house. It's a wonder we didn't wear them out.

Preparations for summer are already underway. Today I found 5 carb popsicles, which means Hailey can eat them without a getting an injection. That pretty much makes these a summer staple..

This boy needs his routines. Every day his naps happen only if he has his paci, his blanket, a car or two or 5, a sippie, a snack unopened but to be consumed upon waking, (see rice crispie treat one the floor), and the same three songs. It's an event.

Many years ago, when I had just one boy, I was under the impression that they all liked action figures and super heros and all that boy stuff. So I purchased all sorts of "boy items" including this Star Wars sticker book. Jonas, not the typical boy, never touched it. So it has sat on our library shelf, undisturbed until Caleb. Now, it is officially the best book I have ever bought according to The Boy.

When Hailey earned Prestigious Student award again this year, her dad gave explicit instructions to take this little girl shopping for an outfit. So, we headed to the mall where she picked up the skirt, shirt, earrings, and headband. And she has worn them and worn them and worn them. Her dad knows the way to Hailey's heart.

While cleaning up today, I began to wonder how many Lightning McQueens we atcually have? And once I stopped counting at 13, I began to wonder if any of them are the same. No two alike in this bunch!

The bishopric came over to visit me today, since I am a temporary single mom. They came to see if I was okay. Luckily the table was clear and wiped clean. But cars were littered all over the library and the boys looked like homeless children. As they stood to leave, they had to step over Porter's bologna, and I knew I was anything but okay.

Memorial Day held 54 degree weather for Utah. With the promise of rain. With snow still blanketing the mountains. Not okay.Traditionally it's the day the Swanson family opens their pool for the summer. Not to be deterred, Grammie Swanson heated the pool to steaming hot tub-like warmth. Needless to say, she made a lot of grandchildren very, very happy.

Our neighbors have this tree that I love. I don't know what kind it is. I wish I did so I could plant one in my yard. When it is in bloom, I can't stop looking at it. As much as I love it, my husband loves it more. This year, since he is not here to see it bloom, I couldn't help but take a picture for his sake.

Why is it that Lady bugs are so exciting to find? And why is it they are the only only bugs that are "cute"?

Boondocks with the JDRF. Four kids in a very crowded place by myself. Hard doesn't even describe it. This is the one and only picture I got today. At least the kids had fun. Some days that is all that matters.

Today, as the rest of the family gardened, Porter did what Porter does: Drive cars and park cars. Over and over and over again.
