Family!

Kysaac learned how to tie his shoes so fast. I sat down last week and showed him step by step, one time and then he did it all by himself. Then this week he asked me to show him how to do double knots so he doesn't have to tie them so much! Picked that up the same way!

Slacker!!

2011-05-27T13:45:00.000-07:00

Family Night Bowling!

2011-02-14T19:14:00.001-08:00

After playing bowling on the wii for so long and the kids got really good (could almost beat us) we decided they were ready to go for real...we had so much fun! Kysaac was trying so hard to do it like dad it was cute. We tried to convince him to stay with rail but he refused after he saw how Matt did it. Hampton didn't even care about how the ball went he just danced to the music the whole time. I've included a movie of both of them taking their first turn and if you don't see anything else you have to watch Hamptons!!!!

Kysaac wishful thinking...he wanted a strike everytime!
Hampton..."check me out"

Two Days!!!

2010-09-26T13:47:00.001-07:00

Hampton decided yesterday to put underwear on and be a big boy. Of course this day we had planned to be away from home pretty much all day! So this is how it worked...After packing 3 sets of underwear and pants we headed to grandma Della's house, he had an accident about a half hour later. We then headed to Island Park...in underwear...got in a raft and floated 5 miles down river. NO ACCIDENTS! He ran to the Potty as soon as we got out of the raft. Yea!!! Then we went back to grandmas and had dinner and got home about 10:00pm NO ACCIDENTS! This morning woke up and put his underwear on and went to church, came home and ran to potty. Matt and I were sitting on couch and suddenly wondered where Hampton was, as we called for him he called back "I'm going poop" Matt went to check and he was wiping and ready to go play!!!! I can't believe it's been so easy!!! So now we are down to just one in diapers again!!!

Presenting...Madden Elijah Thueson!

2010-04-29T15:49:00.000-07:00

He's here! Madden arrived on April 28th at 10:50 am. He was 9 lbs even and 19.5 inches long. He is such a good baby! Sleeps and eats so well! He is absolutely adorable and a great mix of his brothers. Already bringing joy to our family and his brothers! Wow we have three boys! Thanks to everyone who has helped!

Must be doing something right

2010-03-24T10:11:00.000-07:00

The best thing happened this morning, Kysaac came upstairs and was so so happy. He said he had a secret and whispered in my ear, "I prayed to Heavenly Father to make it sunny sunny, and he did it!" What a blessing to have a child's example of faith. Thank You Kysaac!

I know EVERYTHING!

2010-02-28T14:22:00.001-08:00

I was sitting at the table with Kysaac and preping him for our Grandkids night with Grandma. I said "Kysaac, now what do you do when mom and dad are playing games with grandma?" He said in an annoyed that I would even ask him the question tone, "I already know EVERYTHING!" I then replied, "You know everything, tell me what you know" He said with conviction, "I know how to be quiet, I know how to listen, I know how to be nice, I know how to be patient, I know how to clean up, I know how to get my lunch, I know how to play with toys, I know how to go to bed and oh I know how to talk too!" So I figured what more do you need to know at age 4?
As funny as it was to hear this I seriously took it to thought and hope he's getting good examples of all these things he knows how to do!

Swimming!

2010-01-26T07:40:00.000-08:00

We went to Green Canyon last week and had a blast. The boys love swimming so we called up Grandma and Grandpa and made a fun day of it. They are pretty much fearless of the water so we spent the majority of the time watching Hampton jump from the side of the pool and Kysaac jump from the diving board. It was really cute to see how they would get their confidence and then go for it. After the first time of jumping for Kysaac, he would get back out of the water and run to the front of the line, all the other people in line would just laugh and let him go cause they they didn't have to wait for him and he would try to copy them by spinning and yes even diving.(didn't work so well) but he loved it!

I am a child of God!

2010-01-17T16:28:00.000-08:00

During sacrament today we sang I am a child of God for our closing song and Hampton totally belted it out. He didn't know the 2nd or 3rd verse but chimmed right back in during the chorus. Everyone was smiling and some laughing. Even the Bishop brick was laughing. It was way cute!

CTR!

2010-01-10T17:00:00.000-08:00

Kysaac is now a CTR! Matt and I are in Primary to now so we got to see him and he keeps everyone laughing! We Love You Kysaac you are getting so big!

Prety much all of December blogged below!

Christmas Morning!

2010-01-08T21:35:00.000-08:00

We had a great Christmas Morning! I woke up at 6 and finally couldn't take it anymore and woke the boys up at 6:45. Grandpa and Grandma Thueson were with us and we woke them up too. The boys had a fun time with new toys and a really fun Nerf Gun fight thanks to Uncle Randy's additional guns! I love their Cheesy grins after getting their Spongebob Squarepants Jammies. We had a wonderful breakfast and then headed to Great Grandmas afterwards. Merry Christmas!

2010-01-08T21:22:00.000-08:00

Christmas at Great Grandmas!

2010-01-08T21:15:00.000-08:00

So there was I believe about 46 people at Grandmas house over the Christmas Break and it was a blast! Kysaac disappeared as soon as we got there and only emerged when he was hungry along with all the boy cousins he had to play with. Hampton kept everyone smiling with his cute little smile and funny remarks. Matt and I enjoyed the company and each other over a great Christmas with Family! These are Random pictures taken when I remembered to get the camera out.

Ward Christmas Party!

2010-01-08T21:00:00.000-08:00

I took the boys to a Ward Christmas Party and loved this picture cause everyone was running and anxious to see Santa Clause and because we were in the church they were folding their arms and looking so cute while they waited. They were totally fine with talking to Santa but would not sit on his lap. It was funny!

We found a place right by campus so Matt can walk and I can have the car!! (yeah) I also got to have an early ultra sound and while we knew we probably wouldn't see gender yet....HE opened up and showed us everything! We are very excited to have THREE boys!

Happy Birthday Kysaac #4!

2009-11-12T08:32:00.001-08:00

My big boy is 4 years old! (Nov. 2nd) We celebrated at Great Grandmas house and as you can see from his face he was a happy boy. I explained to him in the morning that he was no longer 3 and that he was a big four year old now, He just smiled and said ok! I'm so thankful for Kysaac and his wonderful smile and spirit! We Love You Kysaac!!

Halloween!

2009-11-12T08:15:00.001-08:00

Halloween was fun this year, The boys loved the idea that they were "Army Guys." I made them costumes with their names and they wore them all day! We went around our neighborhood and they had fun ringing the door bells and getting free candy! Hampton didn't have any problem catching on to the drill.
Dad picked out these guns for them. They light up and make noise but they are so fun!
We carved pumpkins at Great Grandmas this year with cousins and had so much fun!

Kysaac wanted the little monster so Matt helped him with that while I did the headless horseman.

Hamptons Big #2!

2009-10-03T20:57:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure why the pics loaded in this order but oh well. It was Hamptons birthday on Thursday and my baby turned Two! He is really into trains so we made him a train cake and we got boxes and let him and Kysaac color on them while we turned them into Box Trains! It was a ton of fun! Grandma and Grandpa Thueson came and took us to dinner and then we opened presents. We were all to full from dinner that we just let him blow the candles out and then we watched Monsters VS. Aliens! We had a great day! Happy Birthday Hampton!

New Hair Cuts!

2009-09-25T17:10:00.000-07:00

I got these fun hair clippers from my mother in law and wanted to try them out, so about a week ago I finally cut the boys hair! A few days later Matt trimmed his head with them. However he left them on the bathroom counter.... This is what resulted, handy work of Kysaac. I was really Mad, however grateful that they were not girls! I had to shave their whole head! Everyone we meet says it looks good though so drama over!

In Matts defense they could have gotten to them where I left them too but I blame him cause he left them in the bathroom where we do the hair cutting! ;)

Big Sky Montana!

2009-09-14T18:21:00.000-07:00

We went camping in Montana with my mom and had a great time! The Campground was beautiful and we got to see some gorgeous Montana "Big Sky" It was a lot of fun! We went on a little hike up to some crystal caves and it was quite an experience. It's seriously not more than 100 yards but its like straight up! I practically carried Hampton up and Matt pushed and supported Kysaac the whole way not to mention ourselves. It was so hard but had to finish just to say we did it! Then we had to crawl through a little hole to get inside! It was crazy! We had to slide on our butts the whole way back down so we didn't go tumbling head over heals!

Me chilling by the fire pit! It was so beautiful!

Pretty River right behind campground!

Bear Lake

2009-08-18T19:04:00.000-07:00

Me and the boys went and stayed with Matts parents in Bear Lake at their timeshare and had a lot of fun. We spent most of the time on the beach and the boys loved running through the water and putting their Monster Trucks in the sand. It was really fun!

Happy 4th of July!

2009-07-05T19:59:00.000-07:00

Happy 4th of July! We had a really long day! We woke up bright and early at 6:00 am and headed to the Pocatello parade to be with Papa Johns! Me Kysaac and Hampton sat on the float while Matts employees and family gave out popcycles and coupons. Kysaac had a blast waving at everyone and having people cheer at him. Every once in awhile he would scream "Papa Johns is the best" it was cute! Hampton didn't catch on so fast. All he wanted was a popcycle. He started waving a little then got bored and then was asleep on my lap before it was over. Still way cute! Then we headed straight to Idaho Falls where Matt had to work in a booth by the river. The boys and I went and spent the day with Angee and Gayla's Family (my sisters)! We saw the fireworks by the river and got home just before 1:00 am only for Matt to head back to his store and didn't get home until after 3:00. We are exhausted, but we had a great day!

These were the jumping toys by the river. They had a blast in these!Kysaac and Stephan

Hampton is quite the jumper anyway so he was in heaven!

My Birthday!

2009-07-05T19:41:00.000-07:00

I was planning on maybe going out for my birthday after Matt came home from work. No big deal. I was wrong...Matt took the day off and got up with the kids and let me sleep in. He then brought me breakfast in bed. He had the whole day planned. We went hiking which I've been begging Matt to go. The boys did AWESOME! Then we got home and Matt had flowers delivered to me. Then we had a babysitter and went to Texas Roadhouse and then to see Transformers. (which is really good!) I had a wonderful day and want to thank Matt for treating me so special. I Love You!

Break Throughs!!

2009-06-04T12:42:00.000-07:00

This last week we have had a few breakthroughs that have made life easier and some not so much (at least I'm still trying to decide)!

1st- I have had a weakness for taking the easy way when it comes to putting Kysaac to bed. For example its easier for me to sit with him until he falls asleep than to have him get out of bed crying every 5 min. Plus since he has not been taking naps it only takes him 5 min or less for him to be completely out!.....Not anymore! Matt and I gathered our patience together (preparing for a long few nights) and told Kysaac that mommy is not staying with him while he falls asleep.
1st night-A little cave of bribery and he was asleep in 20 min.
2nd night- no crying or noise (we thought we were so lucky) found him asleep at the top of the stairs when we went to bed!
3rd night- success!!

2nd- You'd think my boys were raised in Washington or something cause they wont eat meat very well or Potatoes at all!!! Ky will eat french fries but Hampton wont even do that. I made hamburgers for me and Matt and hotdogs for the boys one day and we went out to eat on our patio. Out of the blue Ky looks at Matt and says he wants one like daddy. I jumped at the oportunity and he ate his first whole Hamburger Ever!(he's 3 1/2!) Since then he's more likely to eat (or try) other meats and often asks for hamburgers. I've also thrown in mashed potatoes and he will eat them without gravy. Weird but Yeah!!!

3rd-(I'm still debating) Of course boys will be boys and brothers will be brothers but I've been trying to get Kysaac to think about how he needs to take care of his little brother. He has defintily gotten better and I love to see them play and "bond" as brothers. However....there are times now that they knowingly ally together against me. The best story so far is last night during dinner we were eating(matt was working) and Hampton turned his plate upside down and started swishing his hands back and forth through it. I yelled in frustration for him to stop and he froze with the cutest puckered lip ever. While I was trying not to laugh I swear he signaled Kysaac. He didn't move his face or body but his eyes went from mine to Ky's about three times. Ky started laughing and playing with his food. I told Ky to stop and that he better finish eating or he was in trouble too. While my attention was occupied Hampton then swished more food on the floor and they started laughing so hard! Holding back my own laughter I stood up and leaned over to them. They both stopped and then Hampton took a bite then did the same eye thing and Ky took a bite. "please finish eating" I said and sat back down. the second I sat down they looked at eachother and started laughing while they continued to play with their food. They were absolutely in alliance and knew exactly what they were doing!!! I just started laughing!! Even after cleaning it up I feel so lucky to be a mom of two funny funny boys!

Pioneer Dresses

2009-05-25T13:21:00.000-07:00

Maria is so amazing she made these dresses for a couple young women in washington that need them for a pioneer trek.

Father and Sons campout

2009-05-16T15:42:00.000-07:00

Matt and Kysaac went to their first Father and Sons outing last night. It was changed to the Stake Building ball diamond but they still had fun. These are a few pics. Kysaac was fascinated by the fire and they had a good father and son time. He actually had a nap today!!!

Kysaac and Daddy roasting marshmallows.Kysaac was on a 6 foot fence.(sorry its sideways)

Ross Park

2009-05-01T12:34:00.000-07:00

We spent Matts day off last week enjoying the sun. We went to Ross park and the boys had fun sliding on the big rocks.

Catching up!

2009-05-01T12:17:00.001-07:00

Well our computer was broke so we had to send it in to get fixed, then I had to actually put the pics taken onto the computer and now I have a little time to catch up. We had a wonderful Easter and the boys are getting so big! Matt is doing good at work and I am loving every chance I get to take the boys to the park that is one block away! Not too much exciting is happening but we have some cute pictures.

Kysaac looking for eggs!

Hampton not sure what he is doing!
On the run! Kysaac caught on really fast!
more eggs...
Yeah! Thats why we were running around grabbing these eggs! CANDY!!

West Yellowstone!

2009-03-30T15:40:00.000-07:00

We spent the weekend in West Yellowstone with Matts parents and had a nice relaxing time.The boys loved playing in the water and since we spent half the time in it, thats all the pics we got.

"That Be A Good Idea"

2009-03-22T20:13:00.000-07:00

We are so Blessed!

2009-03-06T10:43:00.000-08:00

Well we are moved into our own place now and Matt has been working for about three weeks now. We were only jobless for just over a week, which everyone can say is a huge blessing right now. We found a nice townhome and the boys are sleeping in the same room! I get my own craft/office room. Matt is enjoying his job and the kids are enjoying new cousins. I still miss my girls in Washington. I'm learning very quickly that the lord will put you on the path you need to be on if you are doing what is right. I'm grateful for that. We are so blessed that everything has worked out so well and quite easily.

Idaho!

2009-01-29T15:09:00.000-08:00

Well to those of you who don't know already, we have moved back to Idaho. We are staying with Matt's parents while he finds a new job. Things were sudden and fast and in a week and a half a decision was made to leave Panda Express. So yes we are excited to be back close to family and friends, however we will miss the wonderful friends we had in Washington. If anyone knows of a restaurant that is looking for management let us know!

Just some thoughts!

2009-01-12T10:06:00.000-08:00

I can't believe how fast my boys are growing up. We took Hampton to the Dr. for his 15 month check and he is 33in. tall and weighs 27lbs 14 oz.!!! He is starting to say a few words and understands a ton! Kysaac pulled on my heart yesterday as he went up in sacrament meeting with the primary and sang I am a child of God. I couldn't believe it, but it was so awesome. I always worry that he's gonna be the crazy out of control child but he walked up stood in the front and sang, then he walked back down and came and sat by me. He couldn't understand why I was so proud of him. He was like "no big deal mom". The same with taking him to his class. I'm so grateful for my boys...all three of them!!!

Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam!

2009-01-06T10:43:00.000-08:00

Kysaac had his first day of Sunbeams! I was excited to take him to his class but they told us to take him to nursery and they would get them after the other classes changed. I was Sad but Matt reminded me we have next week. I went to get him after and the other kids told me he bore his testimony! Immediately I was like what!!! I missed it. But they informed me that he went up to the microphone looked around and then went and sat back down. It's a start right!
I can't believe I have a sunbeam! He is getting so big and smart. He now says,"I'm a big cool Sunbeam" I Love it!

2008-12-28T10:57:00.001-08:00

Snow!

2008-12-28T10:37:00.000-08:00

We got a ton of snow which is very odd for over here but we were very excited! We got the kids bundled up and let them play! Hampton didn't really like it at first. We decided to just go out on our back porch which is where the picture with ruler is. That was before we got another 4 inches, totaling about 14 in. We had fun building a fort and a snowman right on our porch!! Yeah for snow!

Fun in the snow!

2008-12-16T11:10:00.000-08:00

Hampton was really breaking out. Every time I turn on Taylor Swifts new cd they start dancing and Kysaac sings along with it. He's got a funny finale so if you can watch its worth your time! I sometimes forget I can't turn the camera with a video.

I just wanted to let everyone in my life know how much I love my Husband. He is the most amazing person. He has been working so hard lately and trying to please so many people at the same time. I wanted him to know that he is doing a good job and I know it's not easy all the time. He is always supportive of me, my projects and my crazy ideas. He is such a good daddy! Kysaac and Hampton adore him. I couldn't have asked for a better husband or friend. I'm so glad I get to spend eternity with him. Thanks for everything you do and everything you are Matthew! We Love You!

Catch Up!

2008-11-05T16:03:00.001-08:00

Hi everyone! I know its been awhile. I left the computer on the couch where the boys were playing and needless to say it fell off and broke the cord. Sooo we sent for a new one and were without computer for over two weeks. We have lots of catch up pictures so scroll down and enjoy!

Kysaac's Birthday #3!

2008-11-05T15:37:00.000-08:00

Kysaac wanted a Rocket cake from the little Einsteins. This is mine and matts attempt to make him happy. We made it the night before and by the time we sang to him the candy windows had melted down. We had some friends over for dinner and cake. I can't believe we have a 3 year old.
We just took him to the doctor and he's 38 in. tall and 42 lbs! Wow!

Our mleted windows :(

Halloween!

2008-11-05T15:32:00.001-08:00

Here's are Panda Express mascotts! I decided to make them panda bear costumes and Hampton loved putting the hat on. We did a little trick or treating at the mall after making their cameo at Matts Restaurant!

Carving Pumpkins!

2008-11-05T15:19:00.000-08:00

We had a blast carving pumpkins! Kysaac picked out a cute face to go his and dad and him worked on it while I worked on mine. Kysaac was afraid to put his hands in the pumpkin to get the seeds out it was so funny! They turned out pretty good huh!

Pumpkin Patch!

2008-11-05T15:08:00.000-08:00

Matt and Kysaac looking for a good one.
Kysaac was cute running around and making sure they didn't have yucky stuff on them, and he acted like he was so picky.
What can we say... He's a cutie!
This was on the hay ride to the patch! There was a petting zoo to and Kysaac loved the little pigs running around. Especially since we just watched Charoletts Web.

Hampton's 1st Birthday!

2008-10-04T11:29:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that Hampton is already ONE! He is so cute and brings so much joy to our family. He has his dad wrapped around his finger. He started crawling at six months and walking at 10 1/2 to 11 months. He has 7 teeth and is working on his eighth. He loves to try and keep up with his brother and has the cutest pout ever! We Love You Hampton!
It was a little different to not have any family around but we had a good day with the boys! While Hampton had his morning nap we rolled out wrapping paper for Kysaac to color so we could wrap his gifts.
Then we had lunch and sang to him. He didn't understand why we were singing to just him. But he loved his cake! It was cute and fun for him to dig his fingers into it.

These are his presents! Kysaac helped him open them really good. He didn't care though he was excited. You should see him cuddle the panda, it's adorable!
Kysaac was good and showed him how to build a tower with his new blocks! He loved them and thier bright colors! He likes to stack them up and knock them over. He laughs when they fall.

Fishing

2008-10-04T11:11:00.000-07:00

Everyone around this area goes fishing. When we ask people what they like to do or what their hobbies are, it's fishing. So Matt and I checked into it and while it can be an expensive hobbie it can be inexpensive too! We went and got a pole for Matt and a small one for Kysaac and went to the lake, which is about 10 min. away. We had a really good time and with just our family and the kids did really good. Kysaac doesn't understand how to cast but he is really good at realing the line in and really likes the idea of getting a fish. Our first trip was short and we learned a little without looking dumb infront of anyone. Our second trip we invited a couple from the ward and we had fun with them while also learning more about fishing. Matt and I both agreed that its a great way to get away from the stress of life right now. We think we are going to have a great new hobbie! Who'd a thought?

This is Jon, Kysaac wouldn't let go of him. It was really funny!
Hampton was having a great time as long as one of us was holing him. (this was his birthday too)

A day with Friends!

2008-09-19T09:54:00.000-07:00

It's amazing how something so simple can make such a difference in your life. Matt and I have been trying to make some friends in our ward and area, it's hard with a restaurant schedule to get together with anyone. We finally managed to have a day off when our friends Kirk and Jill were going to be in Vancouver. We went to meet them and had a wonderful day together. They have two kids, Erica that is exactly 2months older than Kysaac, and Kaden who is an adorable 4 months. We went to a park that has a cool water park for kids. They had a blast. We also went to the mall with a fun play area. Hampton surprised us with his independence and love of slides. The videos were with phone so quality isn't that good but they're cute! Thanks Kirk and Jill!

OH how the years change us!

2008-09-18T20:41:00.000-07:00

Laughter!

2008-08-24T17:48:00.000-07:00

Every once in a while Kysaac can find it in him to "take care" of his little brother. I heard them laughing and had to check it out! There's nothing better than hearing your kids laugh!

Dancing!

2008-08-24T17:42:00.000-07:00

Hampton breaks into dance every time he hears music. I love it he is a very happy little boy. WOW! I don't know when he turned into a little boy instead of my baby!!!

Artist?

2008-08-24T17:32:00.000-07:00

I decided to get water colors out for Kysaac the other day and we put one of Matts old t-shirts on him. He was really excited and could have painted the rest of the day if I'd let him.

2008-08-21T10:15:00.001-07:00

Now that I have the computer without Matt looking over my shoulder stopping me from writting this, I just want to clarify that Yes I cut the boys hair but not this time...Matt did! I didn't want a mohawk but I lost that battle only for a few days though. It was time, but pretty sad to cut Hamptons hair for the first time. He looks so big. I can't believe I'm going to have a three and one year old!

Mom did A Great!!!! Job!!!

Almost walking!

2008-08-14T19:25:00.000-07:00

Laughing!

2008-08-14T19:13:00.000-07:00

This is Kysaac avoiding eating his dinner by making Hampton laugh. He is under the table making noises and pretending to fall so that Hampton would laugh. Hampton has a great tummy laugh!

2008-08-14T19:03:00.000-07:00

Hey there everyone so nothing to exciting has happened lately but we did manage to catch a few funny moments from Kysaac and Hampton. Sometimes I really wonder what is going through Kysaac's head as he just sits and plays. He was actually doing this for about ten minutes before I thought to get the camera. Every time he tried to put another paper under his chin he would drop the rest but he kept trying. It might be boring to some but I thought it was funny!

His Real 1st Pet!

2008-07-20T19:42:00.001-07:00

Maria broke down after letting the frog go so we got kysaac a couple little neons.

Hammer Time!

Kysaac's 1st Pet!

2008-07-17T20:41:00.000-07:00

We all went for a little walk around our complex the other day and as we were going to go inside there was a little tiny treefrog about the size of the top of my thumb jumping around. (don't know how I saw it) It was really cute so we grabbed a jar and made a quick home for it. Kysaac was so excited to make a home and have him. Matt got online and checked to see what to feed him. (crickets) while that made both me and Matt a little squirmish we thought it was cool to have a tiny little pet for Kysaac to be so excited about. However we couldn't find any bugs let alone crickets so we told Ky that we were going to let him go so he could find his family. We decided we would get a fish instead!

4th of July Weekend!

2008-07-07T16:09:00.000-07:00

We had a wonderful vacation in Idaho and Utah! We went to Pauls farewell (good luck Paul we will miss you) and to the Rexburg Temple (which is beautiful). We also went to Lagoon on the 3rd (my birthday) and had a blast with lots of family! It was so nice to see everyone! We then went to the traditional KOA for the Fireworks on the 4th. It was funny to see Kysaac and Hampton interact with cousins and friends and family! Kysaac loved the fireworks and still asks to go to grandpas and watch fireworks. Hampton of course fell asleep before they started but didn't flinch a muscle when they did. We then had to drive our long way back home. We really enjoyed the vacation and seeing everyone! We miss being closer to home and family.

Maria's 3rd Leg

2008-06-25T12:20:00.000-07:00

This is what Hampton does all day long! If I stop for a second he is right there to latch on!

Eating the cake with the spatula!

2008-06-25T12:19:00.000-07:00

This was the after phase of Kysaac getting to our cake while I was changing a diaper. He seems to know how long he has to get into trouble. However when I found him he was sitting happily on the floor cleaning the rest of the spatula off.

Maria and Hampton at park!
