- Time in Utah - So we were in Utah for nearly all of May. We enjoyed spending time with friends and family and the boys loved playing outside and having a backyard to play in. They really enjoyed all the time spent with their cousins. The weather was beautiful and it was a bit of shock to come back to the desert. I flew to Tucson on Memorial Day and Mindy drove to Las Vegas the next Sunday with her mom and the boys and the critters. She spent the week packing and I flew in Wednesday night and finished packing and moving the house into a couple of storage units. The help I had scheduled for Friday fell through at the last minute so I called the Bishop at 7:3o on Friday morning and at 10am there were people there to help. All in, about six people showed up to help and we got it all hauled over and packed. We are extremely grateful to them, since helping us move was not what they had planned for the morning, and it was short notice.
- Baseball helmets - Somehow Cole ended up with a batting helmet and so did I. The first day he insisted that I wear mine in the car driving home from work. Most people were quite oblivious to it all. He ran around with that thing on for days. It came in handy when he was riding scooters and bicycles and falling all over the place.
- Water at Rock Canyon Park - One thing Cole really liked was playing in the runoff at Rock Canyon Park. I don't know how he did it since the water was so cold it made my feet hurt after 15 seconds, but he would go run around in it like he was in the bathtub.
- Trampoline land - One afternoon we went to a place in Lindon that had a bunch of trampolines side-by-side as well as several of those inflatable balloon toys that you see at rich kids birthday parties. The boys had a blast playing with their cousins. At one point Cole and Jonas were at the top of a slide throwing the smaller kids (not their siblings or relatives) down the slide. They thought it was great. Parker thought the trampolines were funny.
- Wrestling with cousins - There was a lot of this that went on. Cole enjoyed pulling his 11 year-old cousin Tate over on top of him and wrestling with Jonas. Cole didn't mind the occasional thumping that he received. This led Tate to tell us that Cole was his favorite cousin because he didn't cry when Tate beat him up.
- We drove back to Tucson on Sunday. We were able to get here with only two stops, and neither of those were for the boys. They were good sports about it.
- Cole got sick the week we came back to Tucson. He was running a fever for a rew days and then just quit drinking or eating. We ended up taking him to the ER where they did some unspeakable acts to him which made changing diapers a lot more difficult for about three weeks. He started drinking and we were able to bring him home at about 3:00am. Jim from work was nice enough to sleep on our sofa most of the night. It was good to have him get back to normal.
- Work on the mall has started up again.
- We go swimming almost every day. It really helps cool me off after riding the motorcycle home in the heat. Cole has a life vest that he wears and he swims all over the pool and will jump in as well. That is working out a lot better than the arrangement last year where I had to stay within arms reach every time he got out of the pool. It is also nice to stay clear of him kicking like a mule.
- House is now sold! We thought it was, then it fell through at the buyer's closing, and now it closes on the 7th of August.
- A few weeks ago Cole got away from me at the mailboxes, ran to the golf cart that leasing uses to show people around the apartment complex, jumped in and hit the gas. It would have all been fine except that the key was in the ignition in the on position. The golf cart lruched forward into the clubhouse. Cole was okay except for a red mark across his belly from the steering wheel. The golf cart didn't fare so well. The windshield broke, the headlights broke, and apparently the steering mechanism also broke. That saga continues.
