Another week in June Gone!

A little out of order but on Friday 24th we celebrated as a family Eldon's birthday. Granted his birthday is the 26th but we are going to be in Utah so we thought we'd make this day "Eldon Day!". It started with morning cartoons on my bed.

Then breakfast of choice: Pancakes, bacon, and chocolate milk.








Then we got ready and headed for the Park of the Day.


Park Day #4- Brookhollow Park- our favorite to date!!!!




We spent the rest of the day playing outside and napping! Then Papa got off for lunch and we went to Pizza Hut and opened gifts there.


Eldon with all his loot.

And then we ate a little . . . or a lot!We then came home and played outside some more. Rode bikes, scooters, and all that jazz. Then we had some lame Wal Mart cake. Our nieghborhood friend came over . .. Kyler calls him Pollyanno- he calls Kyler Somebody, it's a wonderful friendship!We'll share more reasons of our love of Eldon when I blog about his real birthday but this is one of the many reasons that we love Eldon. He does things like this, gets a bath with his hat on. Yeah for finally being warm enough to run through the sprinklers!!!!Yep we live in Wyoming, where cowboy boots are a must for every outfit!
My cousin Kimberly came up for a few days to give me a make over and just play! It was great to have her here. Even Eldon offered her his bed to sleep in, so she must have been a hit.






Not a great picture but this is the end result- love it!
And what do you do when it's raining outside and not nice enough to go be crazy outside? Well I don't know what you do but this is what we do, play with the camera. We were laughing sooooo hard! This is Kyler and me doing the "smolder" look from Tangled.





I know scary, right? Eldon had to teach me how to make a funny face- here is the lesson:


Here is the result: And of course we have to have a nose picking picture. . . not that we have enough of those with Eldon. Isaac just thought I was funny. Looking natural Finally getting into itJust making my favorite face . . . and though not shown you should ask him to wink. Yep my 21 month old winks like a pro and it pretty much is the cutest thing ever!

Middle of June and Goin' Strong

This is what we've been up to this week:
Fishing in Evanston . . .more pictures to come but this is Maggie prepared to have a good time.
Getting Maggie ready for church is one of my favorite things in the world! This is a dress that one of our friends here made her. I love it because she made it and it's adorable, but also I had a crocheted dress almost the same color when I was a baby. So here Maggie is with her Mountain Man Papa.Enjoying T-Ball!


We've been walking to T-Ball . . .Isaac can't handle all of the excitment.
And Eldon just can't ride that long- it's too exhausting.

Reading uplifting things. . .


Maggie looking adorable.Papa cut his beard off finally! Which meant that he had to do a photo shoot after every snip!Isaac figuring out different ways to drink . . . there are two straws . . .genius right?
Eating dinner with our bike helmets on, because my cooking is that good.



Obviously it doubles as a fork holder.

Drinking the drips from Tomato plants.
Park Day #3- Bear Rive Park


Great time with friends and we brought the bikes so they thought that was groovy. But it wasn't a lot of equipment to enjoy and not to mention an interesting lunch party going on near by. So probably not our favorite.
