Boys in September

Our truck has been dead since July, so my friend Ray let us borrow his car for a while. The boys LOVED it!

He is so handsome!

This is one of the episodes that happened at Brig's work, this was where a patient tried to bite a chunk out of his arm, another time a different patient tried to claw his face off. The reason he's needed a new job so badly.

A trick both of the boys learned, and I hate. Playing in the unsafe sharp vents. Cute but scary.

Ha ha, Brigham hates this type of stuff, the boys grabbed the girly shoes on their own.

My cute little monkey. Zeke did this one too.

Seems to be a common shot lately, the boys being messy or mischievious. Sure is cute though. They were actually helping me really well, until I turned for one minute, they couldn't resist the flour.

Onion Days Carnival

We took the boys to the carnival and they had a blast! Zeke loved driving the big trucks around.

Gabe was on the ride too, but before they started they took him off because he was too small. That happened on a few rides.

This was Gabe's first year getting to go on the rides, the ones he was allowed on he loved. They weren't going to let him on this one either but I talked him into it.

This caterpillar roller coaster was one of Zeke's favorite's. He couldn't stop smiling and laughing.

Ferris Wheel! The boys were both a little uneasy but then loved it.

Gabe couldn't get enough of the train...buttons, he stayed on the ride for a couple minutes after it ended.

Here's my boys (and Colton) watching the fireworks that night.

Family Time

Most of my sibblings and I were able to get together for a lunch date with my grandma. It was nice to see her again.

Although I'm not too fond of my look here, this is the first shot of all of us together in about 20 years.

Of course when we get together, there is going to be some crazy.

Boys in August

Gabe learned a new trick, I wish he hadn't.

This was really cute, after the scare wore off. It was just pudding so I went in the other room for a minute. He was being super quiet so I went back to check on him to find him all slouched over, I thought he choked on something. Poor kid was just overly tired.

The boys love this bike, but can't work it themselves. Their cousin Sabrina was nice to give them rides.

It was a pretty good rain storm but the boys couldn't resist. They really wanted to play in the rain.

I was cold, but they had a blast. Later they threw rocks into a large puddle that accumulated, but I didn't want to get the camera too wet.

They just play if they are in the same room but they love to play together and 'pretend' to sleep.

Family Campout

We were able to go on an overnight campout with most of my sibblings and their families in August. We stayed up late and had a lot of fun. This is Zeke with one of the giant marshmallows that roasted to almost the size of his head. He didn't mind, he still liked them.

Here is Brigham his first time ever repelling. My brother is an outdoorsy/survival type guy so he goes a lot. The first steps over the edge are the scariest part.

Here we are going down together. I used to go a lot but it has been over 12 years. Now that I'm older, I'm not so fearless and I think I was even worse.

These are my boys.

My little monkey loved climbing up the rocks.

He spent a lot of time in this hole, it was as far as we'd let him climb.

I would put in some clever mastercard type quote here, but I have lost my creativity so all I can say is Priceless.

Did I mention it was 100 degrees out this whole time.

Zeke wanted to jump down the rope too. He settled for swinging on it.

Gabe did a little rock climbing.

So cute!

Ta da! I made it to the top of this 3 foot rock all by myself.
