Busy!

A lot of things have been happening in Brian's Family that have been a whole lot of fun. Two of Brian's siblings have recently returned from their missions. Maryn got back from Mongolia, and Richard got back from Argentina. It has been so nice to have everyone home. It had been a long time since we were all together and it was a great reunion, but that is not all...Spencer, Brian's brother also got married! We are so excited to have Alicia in our family! They are so great together! We had a wonderful time celebrating with them too. It is always fun to have a reason to dress up the boys and have them all lookin' good! Okay so maybe we didn't always have their shirts tucked in...and we didn't always make them stay in their seats, but we really did have a GREAT time! The day after the wedding we got the opportunity to go on the boat. The boys loved it! Our whole family took a ride together on this huge tube. And Brian finally got to go wakeboarding. It is probably the only time he'll get to this year. I didn't get any pictures but trust me he can still fly over the wake. It is fun to watch my man!

We also got to spend a little time with my family too while celebrating my 26th birthday with my twin Jill and my youngest brother Jackson. He got this huge slide last year for his birthday and it was fun then, but it was even better this year since my boys actually dared to climb the wall and go down the slides. They even did some wakeboarding/kneeboarding of their own.

They really are best friends! I love it!

Jake (my brother)got together flag football that even included three year olds. He sure knows how to make my boys feel good!

Here is the birthday clan! I love sharing my birthday!

Being busy has really been so much fun, but we are ready to be home until the baby comes. I guess everyone will have to come see us now. Love you all!

Island Park!

We were able to go to Island Park with the Weston family and we really had a blast! It was packed full of fun, and almost everyone in my family was able to make it...we sure missed you Adam, Jake, Chris and Hailey! We got to go on my Dad's new RZR, which the boys really could not get enough of splashing though the big puddles.

We really were quite a mess after our rides. Carter suprised me and really loved it too, he kept chanting "GO, GO, GO!" We had a family home evening lesson with EVERYONE, I loved it, families really are the best!
We got to hangout with Grandma, Grandpa, cousins, aunts and uncles!

We went to a hotel pool one night so that the men could watch the basketball game and all the kids could go swimming. They had this huge slide and after Tyson went down once with Daddy he wanted to go all by himself. HE LOVED IT!! I can't even count how many times he went down, you also never knew how he would come down on his stomach, back, he even dared to go head first! He is a crazy dare devil!

Marcus dared to go down only with a lot of help from my sister Jill. She sure is the best and once he got the hang of it he wouldn't stop either!

We didn't really let Carter go down by himself, but we didn't want him to feel left out so Daddy would put him on the end and he would slide down.

My Dad also got us tickets to see Beauty and the Beast. It was so good! Marcus and Tyson loved it - their favorite character was the Candlestick, he was hilarious!

The last day we did my favorite, kayaking down Henry"s Fork! The cabin that we stay at is right on the river so we could just float to our cabin. Brian took Marcus and Tyson, and I took Carter. It is so beautiful and we even got a little surprise at the end... a Moose and her calf!! It was the sweetest little thing ever! I didn't have my camera with me since Carter was with me (he's a little squirmy) but I sure wish I did! Anyway the whole trip was so much fun and we sure hope we keep up this tradition! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Swimming!

We have been wanting to get our little pool our for a while and even though it wasn't all that warm we got it out anyway. The boys had a blast! We had our neighbors the Nelsons come over too, they are always sure to have a great time when they come over. They are quite a bit older then our boys and pretty daring, they got Tyson to do a front handspring into the pool! It was pretty fun to watch all six boys play with each other!

Marcus was good to warm up running around,

Tyson preferred to cuddle up into a towel and Carter...
I don't even think he realized that it was ever cold.

Growing Boys, Growing Ducks

Yesterday morning the boys and I decided to have a little picnic for lunch. I let Marcus and Tyson ride their bikes, while I took Carter in the stroller. Tyson is still learning and was so excited to be like his older brother Marcus. Marcus was so cute and telling Tyson where he needed to slow down and not go too fast or he might fall. He also encouraged him to go faster by having races with him. It is so much fun watching these boys ride, they really are growing up way to fast. On our way back from our picnic we found the ducklings that we have been watching grow up.
They too have been growing pretty quickly, and are so adorable.

Life sure goes by fast! Tell me really, why do children have to grow up?!? I love my boys and don't want them to ever grow up...is that bad?

Mark and Jeana's Visit!

This beautiful couple came to visit our little family in Eagle, Idaho and we LOVED IT!! We are so glad that they took their vacation time and spent some of it with us. The boys were so excited to see them.
*Notice Marcus cruising up in front on his bike.It was such a perfect day, we had some burgers on the grill and then went for a walk around our neighborhood. Since we just got Marcus a new bike he got to ride that and only crashed a couple of times. He is getting pretty good.

We love SPRING here! Everything was beautiful!

On our walk we got to meet a new family of geese! The goslings were super cute, we were careful to keep our distance - we have heard they can be pretty vicious. We also fed some ducklings...we love it here! Thanks so much for coming Mark and Jeana! We love you!

I Like to Ride My Bicycle...

Marcus got a new bike!

Which means Tyson got a new bike.

Which also means that Carter got a new bike.

Life is great here as long as the weather permits them to be outside with their bikes.

I love my boys!

We Are Having a...

These boys are excited to let you know they will be getting....another brother!

We are so excited! We can't wait to see this little guy!
