And, when Daddy is home...FUN

It was still pretty cold, but at least the sun was out (it hasn't been for a VeRy LonG time) and the kids were more than content to FINALLY get a chance to play outside without 10 layers of clothing on.

Yes, when daddy is home it is not uncommon that the kids are very happy and dressed in Crimson and Black...Go UTES! These are actually the shirts we had ready for the big bowl game. (But the kids were so tired that day that we never got a picture of them decked out in their Utah gear before they had to head for bed.) Some little hands must have gotten to my camera and switched the dial to Sepia...but I thought these ended up being very cute!

Coleson found a dried up leaf and proceeded to be the "boy" that he is by waving it in his sister's faces...they were all giggling uncontrollably (very cute!)

What better way to end a perfect day than with Ice Cream! Coleson was in a dream land! We were probably a little too loud and we stayed there for a pretty long time, but the kids enjoyed every second! In fact, Coleson somehow ended up with two spoons and was double scooping ice cream as quickly as he could, managing to squeeze in a few "mmmms" between bites. Tyler tried to borrow one of Coleson's spoons a few different times, but Coleson went into some very high pitched hissy fits...apparently he loves eating ice cream with two spoons!
