Cabin Fever....

We took Cohen on his first weekend away from home, and he loved it! He did so good. We went up to Brock's family's cabin up past Woodland (which is close to Heber City). Ben Char and Troy came with us and we had so much fun. (but we missed the Garza's and Marriano's too much) It was a weekend well needed for all of us to get out of town and out of our daily routines.
**Lots of pics**

We played a few very intense games of Ticket to Ride..

Cohen took his first bath in the sink..

He didn't know what to think of it.
He liked it but was a little cold--
which is his least favorite thing to be.

He would much rather be snuggley in jammies.

We ate like kings and queens.. Blueberry pancakes..

and Crepes of course.

The boys had "daddy time"..

Love this pic...Cohen was just staring at Brock.

Ready to go for a walk with Nature..

Cute little Troy was a trooper, and I just LOVE his hat.

Pretty pond on our walk..

The swing by the cabin..

So we went to this meadow so the boys could let some of their energy out and play, which started out a great game of football....but then turned into my favorite part of the weekend! I have never been so entertained by two men, a pile of rocks, and a frisbee. The pics below will explain....I picked a few of my favs. WAY better in person. Might I add, I was watching and taking pics for over an hour.

The 'run and reach' trick..


The 'dive'..

The 'fake explosion run jump and dive'..

And last but not least, the famous 'Benjy flip'.

**Overall, great weekend. Nature is very needed every so often.
I love these men and thank them for the great show
and willingness to get plenty of scrapes just to entertain me.

Utah Mountains!!! OHHH my heart aches....smile...we have "hiking trails" right in our neighborhood. On Saturday mornings, hard core biking teams come and ride the trails. When I first saw the "hiking and biking tails" sign I said, "What are they going to hike on?" I think they mean dirt trails in a bunch of trees. Love you guys! We were there in spirit!
