Moon Day and Other Goings On

So our themed Friday has finally taken off. Kyler mentioned that he wanted to learn about the moon, so this friday we spent the day doing "Moon" things. First we read about the moon in the Encyclopedia. Then we drew pictures of the moon and created the moon cycle out of pictures. We watched "Fly me to the Moon", had a moon lunch of Macaroni crescents, and ended the day looking at the moon and figuring it out that it was a Waning Gibbious. It was so fun! And I learned a lot. Next week Shark Day!
On Saturday we spent the day in Odgen and by the time we were riding home we were exhausted!! (I usually do sit with my hubby up front but because the boys had enough they were a little more fiesty then usual.)
We came home from church and had dinner and Eldon feel asleep during dinner.
We spent the day with my family. Because of time we weren't able to have a campout this year but it was still fun to go on a day outing. We went to Mirror Lake and spent the day playing, walking, eating, and enjoying each others company.
Travis took this picture! Isn't it gorgeous?
This was also the first time Travis and I had ever tried making a complete meal in the dutch ovens. We are very happy to say our Sticky Chicken, Ulitmate Potatoes, and Candy Bar Cake was a success!!



To top things off my little baby is 11 months old today!! Oh my heck it's gone by so fast!! Here is a little bit about Isaac you may not know:
-He loves to climb stairs- he'd do it all day if he could.
-He loves to eat anything!
-He crinkles up his nose when he smiles and it's adorable!
-He loves to be outside and eat grass.
-Kyler and Eldon can make him laugh so hard.
-He is a mommy's boy all the way!
-He sleeps great and has two long naps a day.
-He is starting to get a temper and when he doesn't get what he wants he holds his breath until his face is red.

-He has reddish hair that I love!

Growing Up

We took Kyler to open up a Savings account the other day. We wanted to wait and get our children a bank account when they could remember taking in their piggy banks and opening it. So that is what we did. We went to Wells Fargo: He held his piggy bank with such pride! (Travis was so mad that I didn't do his hair so please ignore the crazy hair!)

Counting out his money with his new friend Peggy.


Sucker+Receipt+new Wells Fargo Backpack=one happy grown-up four year old! What a fun day!

Hooray for Summer Days!!!!

One thing we've loved about the recent days is the rain!! We've loved to playing in the summer rain! Especially with our hats on crooked!

Also a few months ago Isaac was transfered into Eldon and Kyler's room, yes all three share a room now! And it has been fine!! No problems so far (please disregard my bottom in this picture)

And of course we've spent a lot of time in our backyard in our little pool!! The boys have loved it and I've loved how tired it makes them at the end of the day!!! Eldon after he saw Kyler get more cereal, decided to get more himself. Then when I got the camera out he was so devasted!!

Matt and Travis were working on Matt's truck when I looked over and Eldon was trying to help out. Cracked me up and I'm so sad that none of the pictures turned out . . . but you get the idea! Matt in his truck where the clutch is supposed to be!

Kyler playing boxing with the Wii. I wish you could have seen how fast his hips shook when he did this!
Our Wal Mart just remodeled so they had a Grand Re-Opening. And out side the front doors they had some blow up games. The velcro wall was just too tempting and I had to give it a try.
Katie tried it too!
And of course summer also means the fair! So this year they had a Nascar Race game! It was so much fun!!
The best shot I got of the three of them . . . sad huh?
Eldon's feet after he stepped in who knows what!
Isaac loving the sheep!!
Me, Katie and Jamie Williams! They were a great help with all my boys!!

The girl who will marry one of my boys! Isn't she adorable??
Our friend Emileigh Hillstead did the pig wrestling. Though you can't see it very well they did get the pig into the barrel!
Yeah my face is for real! I forgot how fun carnival rides could be. Kyler and I were laughing so hard!
Kyler and Eldon on the motorcycle ride. This the only time Eldon smiled. The rest of the time he spent concentrating on not crying! And yes Kyler did dress himself- I can't get that boy to wear short sleeved shirts or shorts! He insists on wearing his warmest clothes on the hottest days!
Kyler and his friend Eric on the train.
Travis and Katie went on the scary ride of death!! I'm glad she came so that she could go with him and I didn't have to!How is your summer ending up?
