Nothing quite compares to the mixture of mountains, a healthy river, muddy trails, rocks, and little boys running a muck.
The sight makes me feel so content and thankful for my family.

No comment - :)
Took a break from the fun for a little nourishment -
Swimming!
I love swimming -
I love the smell of too much chlorine and the echo of an indoor pool.
I love seeing my children enjoy the water and becoming little fish right before my eyes.
I love watching The Beloved transform into a 10 year old as he pretends to be a flailing alligator spinning in the water or a shark you have to be on the watch out for.
Not that he is dying to play the role of an alligator or shark, but more so anxiously awaiting the sounds of his children's laughter as they swim away in "fear".
So, if you can't tell from the many pictures above,
The Baby is ALL Daddy's Boy!
You may also notice in the pictures above that he WILL NOT look at the camera and he definitely will not humor me with a smile.
It took some manipulation on my part, but I finally captured a little joy emanating from our little man.
It went something like this,
"Smile Honey."
"Come on. Smile for Mama.
"Buddy, I will not give you back your pacifier until you smile."
Success!
Such determined little individuals we're raising - I can't imagine where they get it.
All Little C wanted to do for Spring Break was stay at a hotel with a swimming pool. We took it one step further and drove a couple hours away to truly get a little R&R.
The scenery was fantastic.
The rest and relaxation was even better.
We would sleep in, eat a continental breakfast, go for a swim, warm up in the jacuzzi, take a little nap, watch a little of the GAC channel, go play outside, eat dinner, swim again, shifts in the jacuzzi, and then go to bed perfectly exhausted - ready for the next day when we could do it all again.
Heavenly.
P.S. I still haven't taken down our fort - All of those clean blankets lounging around really satisfy my ever-sensitive detergent smelling senses.

That's my kind of spring break for sure. What cute little boys you have. Can't wait to see the next one you've created. They just could not be any more sweet looking.
You look awesome my dear! Love the Spring Break activities. I love that kids think staying in a Hotel is such fun. Glad you had a little break.
Best Spring Break idea ever!!!!
Hope you had lots of fun and made lots of new memories!!
(PS. I love the way clean laundry smells too, we don't use a drier in Australia so I hang all of ours out on a line in the back yard, they are crisp (don't love that) but they smell great!!!)
We did the same thing as you on one of our spring break nights...hotel with kids. You pics look familiar. Did you stay at the Ameritel Spectrum?
I love the prego picture of you! You look great! And OH MY GOODNESS your baby is transforming into such a big boy...a big daddy's boy apparently :) I love it!
Salmon Lodge in Riggins -loved it!
Well aren't you just a cute pregnant lady? I lost everyone's blog address so I haven't checked your blog in forever. It is hilarious as always. I can't believe you've got an 8-year-old. Makes ya feel old huh? lol. Can't wait to see the new addition sometime soon.
