June 2013

Looking at a plane

We finally set up the trampoline we got a couple of years ago....the boys LOVE it!

Wrestle Mania

Malachi has a talent for finding mud, he loves it


Man, my baby is getting big!


If you can't tell, this is Gabe's favorite pose.



Zeke wasn't feeling well, came home and lay in an upside down desk and fell right to sleep.

mmm...brownies!  Who needs to chew

Love my silly little Gabey!

Grandma and Grandpa invited us to their ward pool bbq party...super hot day but cold during swim time...the boys were tougher than me, it was so cold....they stayed in almost the whole time.  Freezing, but fun


Trying to warm up for a minute

He was so cute, floating his legs, just pushing on his arms.




He loves being silly.

Super Fun Day!

Zeke said it was the funnest day ever!  We went to the park with a splash pad and to Uncle Ben's. 

They were playing hide and seek with a friend, this was how I found them.








My little jail birds.


At the splash pad, but the drinking fountain is more fun!

We decided today would be a good day for them to use the reward they earned and they chose Trafalga for Laser Tag, so we headed there next!



bumper boats




oh ya, they got the bad guys!  Gabe doesn't like the vest because it's too big so he only wore it once, he came in the rest of the time and helped us find the bad guys.



We hit a couple other rides as well, Gabe has come a long way this last year on overcoming fears.

Well we are already out having fun...might as well hit the "trampoline place" as well!


Zeke, head first






He was almost bent in half backwards when he went down on his stomach.




Fun wasn't done yet, we also went to Grandma's.  I guess we wore him out!

Malachi got to hang out with Daddy today and met some new friends...he loves riding trucks.

Summer Time

Well it's been a crazy little while: between injuries, illnesses, school, and now summer break.  Brigham is still plugging away at his Master's Degree and we are scrounging to get it paid off as quickly as possible, especially as fast as the interest is accruing.  I just finished downloading a bunch of pictures, clear back from January and possibly even our Christmas pictures...I haven't been able to do much because my computer totally crashed...Luckily I backed up all my pictures literally days before it happened...still need to fix it so I can get everything else off of it but at least I have pictures now.  We have had a busy summer already.  We are still working on the back yard...we just got a trampoline set up, we have a couple other toys waiting to be set up...the boys have been camping twice, been to the pool, slip and slide...and trying to get the 7 peaks and the "bouncy place" again within the next couple of weeks.  We want to hit the lake sometime this summer and are getting ready for a trip to California to see some family.  We are still trying to figure out the vehicle for that, Brigham's car needs to last a few years and the truck is a gas hog.  We thought we would have a van by now but we were under budget, then we found one and he undersold us at the last minute (still frustrated) I've been struggling a little lately as well.   but I think we are headed in the right direction and we are enjoying ourselves amid our bursts of chaos.  I look at my boys and can't believe how much they are changing before my eyes.  I love those little guys so much...especially when they are buddies.  I sometimes get caught up in the stresses of life but I am so thankful that I get to be a stay at home mom and enjoy watching them grow and develop...they each offer so much to our little family!  I still have a few pictures to add but I'm pretty much caught up...again :-)
