Ex Post Post-o

This a a hodge-podge collection of pictures taken several weeks ago. We had a fun visit to Monterrey Bay Aquarium with Kelly's parents, where Bennett got to touch starfish and watch waves crashing overhead from the safety of a glass tube.

In a comical first encounter with grass, Asher was tentative at first.

He decided after a few seconds that he didn't like the pokey green stuff and quickly made that opinion known to his photographer-mother.

We like to loiter at the Oakland Temple grounds, where the peaceful scenery and soothing music help the grown-ups relax, and the bridges and fountains help the kids to be happy.

Boys will be boys

We've decided we really like having boys around the house. Here are three reasons why:

1) Asher's contagious half-tongue smile. Combined with the rolls around the knees, this kid is a clinically tested anti-depressant.


2) Bennett's imagination and desire to be a good kid. We sometimes find him reading his copy of the Book of Mormon is his "boat," which is really an old diaper box. Most of his games are less spiritual and involve "pretend fighting," "mean guys," "shooters" (he doesn't know the word "gun" yet), or any combination of the above.

3) Wrestlemania, musclemania, and other masculine activities that take place around 5:30 pm on an almost daily basis at our house.
