^Cutest little suitcases that Personal Creations sent the boys.
^Grandpa with the boys at the circus
Last Thursday, my parents and I took the boys to Tryon Palace, and it was such a neat experience. Charlie especially loved the kitchen, and as we were walking to another part of the house, he turned around to the tour guide (who let him grind the pepper and turn the stove), and said, "I like this kitchen!"
My mom and I were talking after the tour, while the boys played in the gardens out back, about how people used to live so simply...and how wonderful that was. They really enjoyed...life. Talking to each other face to face, enjoying the beauty of the nature around them, taking time to do the things that made them happy.
Enjoying life is exactly what the boys and I did last week. We packed up and headed out to my parent's house for the week, since the boys were on Spring Break. We went to the circus (which was kinda gross as circuses are, but kinda fun), visited Auntie Jessie at school, played and played some more. Mimi and Grandpa's house is my boys' favorite place to be.
This week is back to real life...cooking, teaching, getting out of the house on time for school(!)...but I'm going to try to apply this quote (by Elder Perry from General Conference) throughout the week. Such a strong quote and reminder of what's important.
I hope you have a fantastic week!

sometimes it's important to just sit back and enjoy the simple things in life. your family is so beautiful!
I love Tryon Palace! We visited last Fall, but it was raining so we didn't get to enjoy the gardens outside as much as we wanted. Looks like it was a beautiful day for you (and week). :D
Loving these photos, the boys are so cute and your family is lovely;) I agree with simplifying things sometimes, disconnecting and just enjoying the little things in life. I try to work on that, a lot.
What a cool place! I had never heard of it until this post. We will def have to visit it!

Good for you!! Taking in the simple things and enjoying time with family is the best way to unwind and come back down to reality. Looks like you guys had the best time. Have you heard Miranda Lambert's sing Automatic? It fits this post to a "T".
I always think that I'd enjoy those olden days of simplicity, and then I remember the lack of air conditioning, ha! So many of these pictures are precious to the core, I was smiling the whole way through :)
How fun!! Have a great week!
Sounds like you guys had a ton of fun with your family!!! I love that picture of you and Walker hugging! You should definitely frame that one :)

Your boys are so adorable!!
I saw that one picture of the little one giving you a hug on instagram and when I read what he said I actually said aww out loud for a good minute. So precious!
They are just SO cute with their matching bags
That is such a good quote! I've been to Tryon Palace once, when Liam was 4 months old. He cried when we were in the house, so went outside to the gardens. I still haven't seen the inside of the house! So, so happy to hear you had a good week!
I am obsessed with the picture of the the boys with their cute little bags!! Looks like SUCH a fun time! You are beautiful, my friend!
