Last but not least




We celebrated my birthday the day before I left. Kimball was going to help me blow out the candles. But it was the first time I ever blow them all out in one breath. Kimball almost started to cry cause he wanted to help. But we relite four so he could practice for his next birthday. We also had a little dance party:)

Packing up to return to Provo

It was heart-wretching to leave Kimball and Simon a second time. Kimball kept saying Please don't go, please; or, you have two choices, go to Utah or stay in Colorado Springs; or, Can I come with you please!? He is so adorable






Easter Egg Hunt

An Easter egg hunt was organized for the little kids within their ward. It was held at a park, Kimball and Simon love parks. I think they had fun looking for eggs too. It was hard to take good pictures and help them put eggs in their basket at the same time, but here are a few pics anyway.



On the way home we stopped at the grocery store, Sarah ran inside and I stayed out in the car with the kids. Simon was in the back shaking an egg Sarah had handed him. I wasn't paying too close attention to them, as I was keeping an eye out for Sarah to return. Then I turn around and see Simon with his mouth bulging full of jelly beans, and chocolate eggs, still wrapped in their pink foil. What a sticky, gooey, mess it was to get out of him mouth!

Carnival




We spent an evening at a carnival. Towards the end Kimball got up the courage to get into the cage with the big kids. Which I thought was funny because at first he almost cried when I asked if wanted to do the fishing game. I'm not sure what the point was, you didn't even get a prize, and it cost four tickets to get in and five to get out, but he liked it.

Bathtime





Okay, so I've saved the good bathtime pictures to use as blackmail when the boys are in their tender teen years and when they bring home a potential spouse... :) The time I bathed them wasn't so bad until I tried to wash Kimball. He screamed at me and pulled the curtain around him and then closed it...Simon was good though. Here are some less exposed, after bath pictures.

Simon





Simon loved walking around with my purse, at least it wasn't very girly, and it adjusted to fit his small size.

Kimball's Spare Room...




Believe me, he asked for this


More Time Spent in Colorado Springs


Simon always looks so handsome, especially in his Sunday clothes


Kimball and Simon loved playing my guitar.
