Blue Eyed Babies

Having fun on the tramp. Bella Blue is a little giggle monster.

Ash a roo just as happy as can be.

The kiddos went to Lake Powell for 5 days with their Grannie and Grandpa and lots of family from the Eyre side. (Thanks Katie for driving LJ down) As fun as it would have been, we decided to wait until the twins were a little older to go. This pic was taken the morning of them leaving. We got so much done while they were gone, the house was almost too quiet, and of course I missed them like CrAzY! They are lucky kiddos for sure.

I love these glasses. She looks so sassy in them, oh wait, she IS a little sass!

What a stud. Love this dude.

Trampoline Fun... sort of!!

So, we went up to my brothers house and he had dug a trampoline hole. It was so nice for the babies, they love to jump but couldn't unless both of us were there to make sure they didn't fall. Jared decided he was going to dig a hole. Turned out to be a much bigger job than anticipated!

Day 1: Dug out the grass for a 14 ft circle. Ethan was so funny, he always wanted to help, right when Jared would get home from work, he would say, "Come on Dad, lets go dig." One morning he got up before anyone (which NEVER happens) and was outside digging.

I don't think Jared would have ever finished if Mike didn't come help. I called him to ask a few questions about it and he said he didn't have anything going on and would come help dig. Son nice, thanks Mike! They got at least half of it done that day.

The next weekend my Dad stopped by to see the kiddos and we showed him what was going on out back. He helped for quite a while. Thanks Dad, hope you weren't too sore! As for me, I was lounging in the chair reading a book and entertaining babies! Fun stuff.

Just about done there. What a man. We have enjoyed jumping on it, although I don't think you get as high of a jump. Maybe not, maybe it just feels that way because we are down lower. We have loved it, thanks babe, you were sure fun to watch work!

Vroom!

Ethan has been practicing in the back yard and in the field behind our house. Jared has told him when he gets good enough, he would take him out West to ride. So here is the fellar, on his first "real" ride of the summer.

The 2 most important boys in my life. I love how safe Jared is with all the kids. He has been hurt one too many times and is so good at taking precautions!

Proving to Dad what a stud of a rider he is!!

Dad getting ready to take Brielle for a ride. She threw a fit when her turn was over. Oh my.

Ashlyn's turn! She love it.

For Fathers Day we made a little craft for Dad, the kids made frames and put pictures of them with Jared. I couldn't find a pic of Lydia and Jared for the life of me, I have tons of me and LJ and tons of Jared and Ethan so I am trying to mix it up and take more pics of them together!

June 2010

Ethan on our ward float. Our neighbor did an awesome job building the pirate ship. It took 2nd place! The kids were so excited to be in a parade! Fun stuff.

I got out the Halloween tote of costumes, so Lydia had fun dressing up as Tinkerbell, a Lady bug and a Pirate! She seriously cracks me up.

The sisters had fun throwing anything, including water bottles OUT of the wagon, tearing and eating the "water" and wondered what the heck this parade business was all about!

Yes, those are MY crazy brothers sporting those speedos. We had a family swim party up at Mike and Erins and they decided to surprise everyone with a little "somethin, somethin!"
Pretty funny.

For Fathers Day we went on a hike up AF canyon. It was fun. Will we do it again? No.

Happy Fathers Day to my awesome hubby, his dad, and brother. What great dads they all are.

Love the mountains and LOVE those kiddos.
