The one with a last day of 2 children.

Sara and I were going to do anything today because we are going to see each other so much this next week with a new baby!!! But she called at 10:30 bored out of her mind with the "longest day ever!!" Totally expected. Of course the last day before you get a new baby is crazy exciting. 

So we planned to meet up in american fork and take Nicole down to provo to see the museums we used to go to as kids. We drove past the new temple, which is coming along so fast and beautifully! We also drove past our old apartment, and then headed to the paleontology museum with our great uncle Dinasour Jim's things!  

^^this is luca being a Dinasour--he was roaring too. 

Then we headed over to the bean museum to see all the animals and play for a half hour on one slide. Nicole was so confused at how they were having so much fun. That's toddlers for ya. 

Luca went down over and over again, and Grant decided to try going on his back head first. They were giggling like crazy. 

There's a little bear cave by the slide, and luca and grant went in there, I was taking some pictures with the flash, and that's when we all noticed the giant scary bear head!! Creepy. 

That's enough to keep any child from going in there!! 

Except ours of course. Hahahaha. They kept going back in to see the bear. 

Luca was a crazy head running all over, not listening to a word I said or staying by us. It was a good thing we had Nicole with us. She's faster than I am! 

We needed to kill the entire day out so Sara and Nicole could just pick up Matt for dinner, and we still had a long time to go. So we headed over to the byu art museum. 

I just love this painting. There is so much going on, and so much you never see. Mary probably had midwives helping her, which she does here, she's nursing her new born babe, Joseph is exhausted--probably from watching and helping his wife through labor, but they are still connected and holding hands, and angels are surrounding them--babies, adults, crying and feeling so much joy. I can only imagine. It's beautiful when you think of everything that they went through and why they did it all.

The boys enjoyed each others company--the last time we will only have 2 children on our many outings!! It's so crazy to think about! Nikolai is coming!! 

We still had more time when we were done with all the museums so we attempted a park in American fork. But that turned out to be a not so good idea. Grant fell off one area, after so much hard work to get up it, and luca fell face first down the steepest slide ever which also had like a 2.5' drop at the end. Not so much safe for little people. 

Luckily that park was in the library's yard! I could see they had teepees in the kids area from outside so we went in to hang out for a bit. 

Luca went straight for the stuffed bear, and grant grabbed a book. Totally exactly who they are. It was awesome. 

Then we went up to see the Mount Timpanogous temple. It was freezing cold so we didn't stay long but the boys loved it anyway. They ran all around, and all luca wanted to do was play by the fence. 

^^check Grant out. Happily skipping along! 

I have to keep my water up and away from luca--any chance he gets he snatches it and drinks away. And you know, I don't share with my child, so once he drinks it its just his or it goes in the sink. 

It's happened two days in a row now, but once was grant. Haha. Those bright huge cups with a straw are so tempting!

On our way to Saras on Wednesday--that was luca. Completely crashed out. With his bears tail in his mouth. Which I thought was a leg until now. So it's even funnier. 

Whenever we have a meal as a family--which has been rare lately--luca loves to grab one of each of our arms and just sit holding them so tight like this. He made us hold hands tonight and burst out laughing when we did. He's a hoot. 

We are so excited to have a new nephew added to our family tomorrow!! Nikolai we are all so excited to meet you!! Come out come out!
