• Mom Bassett was watching Todd's brother's kids this past weekend and on Monday was wondering if I would take the older kids to Hike the "Y" down in Provo while she watched the younger kids and took them to....wait for it....McDonalds! (Since that's where she always takes them:) I ended up taking Taylor, Sammie, Bella, and Addy with me. It was a hot day and a short but steep hike. They all made it to the top and we celebrated with some lunch and ice cream from the BYU Creamery. Yummy! (Addy and I both love the cherry cordial and cherry nut divinity flavors...we're the same!) It was fun to hang out with my nieces and nephew for a day.

• Tuesday we also met up with Grandma Bassett and the cousins at Nepture Park to play and afterwards grandma even let my kids come over for a bit while I went grocery shopping. Shopping along was so much easier!
• While I was cleaning the garage the other day Bodee found this giant tape measure and pulled the WHOLE THING OUT! It kept him very entertained but winding it back up was a pain! He is such a two year old boy!

• Bodee has become obsessed with the neighbor's cat. He really loves it. We had to take it warm milk the other day. He follows it around, pets it, and tries to play with it. After a while it runs away from him and he gets so sad. Hate to break it to him that we're NEVER getting a cat!

• Since it's already be so hot this summer the kids have gone swimming a few times already. We are all just loving the warm weather! Friday night we met Dad at the pool after work, grabbed a bite to eat and then went shopping at The Home Depot.

• Saturday we spent the day doing chores around the yard and home getting ready for Dane to move in with us. We can't wait for him to come! It felt good to be so productive and get things done around the house. Dad Bassett came over in the afternoon to help Todd fix one of our toilets that hasn't been flushing very well the past couple of weeks. You guessed it!...Bodee flushed a foam paint brush down the toilet. That's our boy! Neither of our girls had ever flushed anything like that down the toilet so I really didn't think it could have been him. I should never underestimate that kid!
• Bodee talks crazy good now and is always cracking us up. He is obsessed with superheros and pretty much that's his main subject of conversation. He plays pretty well with his sisters and they dote on him every minute. He still loves to whine or scream if he doesn't get his way but luckily breaks out a smile a minute later most of the time. He is also starting to dance pretty well by shaking his hips and which of course is adorable. 
• The other day I was helping Bodee change his clothes and he said "one minute I have to tell Chicken something." I said "what do you have to tell her?" He replied "that I'm naked!" He runs into the girls room all naked, they scream, then he runs back. Yep, this went on about 10 times til I finally stopped him.
• I hear him calling my name and I ask him what he needs. He tells me "I need to give you a hug!" Love him!
• We were going through all the sounds animals make. I ask him what Bodee says. He told me "Superheros!" 
• It pretty much boils down to: I never knew I could love a little boy so much:)
