Rus in a {hot} Monkey Suit

Rus is a scout leader in our ward. He told his boys [in January] that if they all brought their scriptures to church then he'd sport a stylish light blue three-piece polyester suit to church the next week. A few Sundays ago, they finally all brought their scriptures to church and so Rus had to hold up his end of the deal. Doesn't he look handsome? Something about a three piece suit, I like very much...maybe in a different color and fabric next time, but mmm...I dressed to match him, and I only look taller than him because I'm wearing heels. {By the way I won the bet, the one where Rus pays me a hundred dollars for growing my hair out. The soonest appointment I could make to chop it off is August 31st. I won't cut it all off, only four or five inches...it's just so hot right now!}

 

Why are we blurry? Because Bekah was taking the picture. Here we are, in true color: (and oddly enough, not blurry...)

 Later that night we had dinner at Carla and Doug's house. Ben, Beau, and Russel are three crazy kids. Here they are doing what boys do best:

 Yes, Russel is punching Beau's butt. Yes, Ben's face is hidden in there somewhere. Yes, each of them has a butt in his respective face. Yes, they were all laughing. So was I.
The next day we were up and at 'em early because I was working on a project for Bekah's baptism. (More on that later). Here are a few fun pictures we took at the park. Bekah liked to show off by skating over Marianne. I was sure she was going to run over a little finger, but she never did.

 Beau, the daredevil on his scooter.

 Beau pulling Jacob. These two boys have a blast together!

 Marianne loves to swing. And she loves all things soft and furry, which is why she wouldn't let go of this zuzu pet.

 Yep, they're all mine. No, I'm not too young to have them. Yes, my hands are full. How else would I want my hands to be?
