There was a ward Elder's Quarum activity to go ice fishing at Panguitch Lake. Adrian went with Levi and took my dad. It was a bright sunny day and they enjoyed fishing. Levi enjoyed playing with the others kids on the lake. At one point he stepped into an open hole and got his leg wet clear up to his waist. Levi said he wanted to step into the hole and get wet, so he did it. Good thing it was very warm. Levi loves eating donuts and here he is after eating a powdered sugar donut at the lake.
Adrian had a lot of free time with his last rotations. The winter weather was pretty mild and we decided to head south a bit to Snow Canyon State Park. I knew the boys would love the sand dunes, and they did. The first thing they did was kick their shoes off. Levi ran all about, up and down the hills.
Malachi liked to crawl on his hands and knees for a bit. He liked to slide backwards down the hills. We burried the boys in the sand, had races running down the sand hills and went for a hike on a paved trial.
We walked quite a ways hiking down a paved path. The boys rode their bikes down the whole way. Malachi kept trying to ride his bike off the path. We think we have a future mountain biker on our hands who likes to ride in the dirt instead of the pavement. After we turned around and headed back, the boys ditched their bikes and Adrian and I had to carry them.
We had a lot of fun. All the boys love getting out of the house and going for adventures. The weather was wonderful especially being in the middle of winter.
We had another ice fishing trip to Panguitch Lake. It was my dad, our whole family and Aydri. We drove the 4-wheeler out on the lake towing the sleigh. The weather was not the best. It was cloudy and windy, but we never got cold. We had an ice fishing hut to warm up in and a stove to heat up lunch.
At one point Malachi got really grumpy because he was tired. He fell asleep on Adrian and Adrian was able to lay him down in the sleigh so he could nap.
We did catch a few fish. The boys both like reeling in a fish.
Here's little Malachi and me right before heading to church. It took him a while to warm up to like being in nursery. But, by the time we left, he was doing really well.
We went with Cari, Neal and Cambree to Kolob Canyon. It was a nice sunny day and we hiked a couple miles to a lookout.
The boys are good hikers. They do, at times, get tired. But, they enjoy being out and exploring.
Sundays at our house are very relaxing after church. It's kind of a mad dash in the mornings, but the afternoons are lazy. While Malachi napped, Adrian fell asleep, and Levi fell asleep on top of him. The boys love Adrian. Anytime Adrian is home they have to be with him. So, I was not especially surprised to see Levi asleep on top of Adrian.
The boys are hardly ever dressed at home. I always dress them in the mornings and they always perfer to be undressed. So they run around the house undressed and occasionally open the back door to play outside. The cold never even bothers them :)
Here's Malachi at Aydri's special agent Spy birthday party. It's been so fun being close to family this year and being able to go to birthday parties and family get togethers.
We even had a Valentine's party where each couple told how they met and we played minute to win it games. We all had a good time.
Here are the boys while mama does the shopping. Papa watches them while they browse the toy isle. This is good entertainment for the kids for a good 1.5 hours!
