Jumping fools

Today we decided to take a break from packing and other things and just hang out with the boys. We ran a few errands and the boys ran their little hearts out around the stores and then we went to the jumping jack's place in our area. I just took some shots of the boys sliding- I think we were there for a couple of hours, they had a good time!
Paxton is at the age where he doesn't get pushed around anymore. It used to be that we would go to a place like this and all of the kids would climb over the top of you if you weren't fast enough. Gauge is at about that stage. Paxton however, can hold his own now and I love it! No more falling down to the bottom of the line because the other kids pushed him down there. In fact, he was the biggest kid there and I am pretty sure most of the other kids were older than him... I was very proud! Do you other mom's go through that?! The kid can go on the biggest slides and he doesn't need Ryan or myself to follow him around anymore. In fact, on this next ride with the boat Ryan and I watched Paxton help Gauge up the stairs that were pretty steep and then at the top he pulled him onto his lap where they slid down together. Such a good brother!
(That poor girl there with them didn't get out of the way fast enough...she wasn't too happy by the time they reached the bottom) Ryan went on a few slides with the boys. On this one you can't really see it but they all went down together
Gauger-I think he caught air on this one!
Lately I think that I have been a little too much with the "nesting" thing. Preparing for this move has really had my mind on everything. I plan how we are going to make the trips in my sleep, I also think about where everything will need to go in our next house. I am making Dr appointments like crazy so that we can all see our dentist and doctors before we leave because we don't know who to go to in Idaho. Poor Ryan has like 3 appointments just next week. I discuss with Ryan what needs to be done over and over and over again. I have been planning like crazy and packing like crazy. I can't seem to help it-which made today SO NICE. I have been noticing that Paxton has had enough of my being around and not hanging out with him so it was good to just take a day and relax a bit. When we got home Gauge and I took a nap and I enjoyed myself with my family. I think I need more days like this one!

Stock up on the appointments while you have your insurance, also, especially if they have a waiting period at Ada County. My sister lives in the Boise area. Let me know if you ever get a 911 call for her - the police have been to her house often!!

Congrats Ry on everything you have accomplished thus far! Keep it up and finish it up! Love you bro.

How fun! I so need to take the boys to do this, I worry about poor little Cole...but he's tough! It was so fun to talk to you the other night! How funny. Hopefully I can see you before you leave - I have a little gift for Shelby!
