The Greenhalgh Family

Kid Quotes

Owen: "Mom, do you want to know what I say when my bike runs over my foot?" Mom: "Yes." Owen: "You're not gonna want to hear it because it has a 'stupid' in it."
Sitting on the barstools at breakfast yesterday, Becca put her arm around Nathan and said, "Come on, Baggy-buddy ... let's get back to where we belong!" It was so random that everyone broke into laughs, even Sam, who was laying awake upstairs in his bed. (They got the "Jungle Book" movie for Christmas.)
Anytime you ask little Sam what's in his toenails, he excitedly says, "DIRT!" (and this kid can't talk yet)
I heard Becca in the bathroom struggling to get her pants back on. Frustrated, she yelled, "These pants are not obeying me!!!!!"
One day in the car, Nathan asked me what I thought about Spiderman. Having never seen it, I said I don't know. He quickly informed me that I didn't know because I was only 25. "Dad will know ... he's 26!" Apparently that one year makes a pretty big difference in one's movie knowledge.
"But I don't have any green pants!!!" (said distressed Nathan, the night before St. Patricks Day. We quickly assured him that he had plenty of green shirt options and that would be sufficient)
"If you cry, LAUGH!" (whispered by Nathan into Becca's ear shortly after she finished throwing a fit ... very wise, if you ask me!)

Silly boys in the bathtub

One's light and one's dark, but they're brothers, and they both love to make "mohococks" with their hair in the tub.

Yellowstone!

Saw a few of these guys on our trip!

We had so much fun staying at the Old Faithful Lodge and celebrating Grandma's 50th birthday. Yellowstone is so pretty.

Jenny Lake

We stopped and played at Jenny Lake ... beautiful! The kids loved it (until they were all soaking wet and had to walk back to the car).

Camping at Payson Lakes

Not the best fishing that day, but we had fun paddling around the lake anyway.

All of the kids enjoyed sleeping in a tent, EXCEPT OWEN!! Brent took him home at 3am after we were sick of the crying. He joined us again the next morning for breakfast, but Owen acted quite sleepless the next day, as you can tell.

Hiking to Timp Caves

One of our summer hikes was to Timp Caves with our next door neighbors, the Harts. Above picture is Sam, Mia, Becca, Ellie, Nathan. Below picture is me carrying Sam, which I did much of the way :)

Happy 4th of July from Owen!

Beautiful Becca

Just some pictures of my gorgeous daughter (excuse my motherly pride)

NEBO! Yah!

Thank you, thank you. I did it. This was my goal for the summer. I've hiked Timp lots of times but never Nebo ... 'til now. It was amazing. Now which mountain next year?

Important days

Here you see Becca at her preschool graduation with her beloved teacher Tecia and her best friend Mia. Also, here's Nathan on kindergarten graduation day. Congratulation, cute kids!

Wow. It's been awhile.

Sorry to you faithful blog checkers out there. I've been scolded a few times lately for not using my blog. Fine. Here's a whole bunch of pictures from the last several months.

Birthday Season

Spring is birthday season for us, starting with Owen's birthday in February. Unfortunately, Owen was sick on his birthday and wasn't really amused by new toys or cake.

Sam, on the other hand, has been talking about toys and cakes all month. We had three different parties for him since the whole family/extended family was sick on and off all month.

In case you can't tell, the below cake is a Wallace & Gromit rocketship. Sam's a big Wallace & Gromit fan.
