Spending time with my boys

So this morning, Aaron, Ammon, and I were restless and went shopping at Walmart and then went to the park to feed the ducks at the pond. It was fun because our ward playgroup was there and it was such a beautiful, sunny day. The boys really enjoyed seeing the ducks although at first Aaron was a little scared of them. Ammon enjoyed eating the bread as well as throwing it at the ducks. We even saw a mama duck sitting on her nest full of eggs. They played on the playground and then when it was time to go, they were upset to go home, of course. Luckily, they didn't protest too long (you know the mom line: "I'm not bringing you back to the park if you make such a fuss about going!!")

This picture of the boys in the stroller is the other day when we took a walk. The weather has been so awesome the last couple of days. I was so proud of myself because I really just wanted to sit down and read my new Mary Higgins Clark mystery and have the boys just vegitate watching movies and T.V. but I got out the stroller and we did go for a walk. I guess that is what it means to be mature is to think of others before yourself. Sometimes it is really hard though! I must say that it felt good to spend time with my boys and I keep reminding myself that they won't be this little for long. The time is speeding by.

Yesterday, I went to the MVHS counseling office to ask some questions about concurrent enrollment. Kael has so many opportunities than I ever did as his age. He is taking a summer school class this summer and early morning seminary next year and that will free up some of his schedule so he can take even more classes his senior year. Wow....I can't believe Kael is getting so old that we are talking about college already. He finished up his driving ranges so now he just needs his roads. Then after he gets his driving hours, he will be ready to get his license. Kael is such a good kid.
