Family Pictures

Jen took some family pictures for us on Sunday and they turned out really cute! If you would like a copy of any of these pictures, just leave a comment or send me an email with the picture number (located to the right of each picture), the size and quantity. I will be ordering pictures sometime next week.

Speechless!

Tonight during dinner, Tyler went to the bathroom and never returned. It was very quiet upstairs (never a good sign), but we were enjoying a peaceful dinner, so we didn't mind. He would come down every once in a while to see what was going on and then tell us he was "Okay" and go back upstairs. Jason headed up to find him when he was done eating. I decided to ignore what I knew would be a mess upstairs in order to have a few minutes to clean up the kitchen. When I did finally go upstairs, I was totallay unprepared for what I would find and was left speechless!!

Tyler had thrown every piece of clothing in our closet onto the floor. I mean EVERYTHING!! He crawled onto the shelf and reached everything that was up on the higher shelf. Here are pictures of the mess and then a picture of the nice, clean closet after over an hour of cleaning it up!! Tyler could not watch TV the rest of the night and had to help clean it up. He was eager to help at first, but was in tears by the time we were done. When I said, "That was naughty, let's not do that again," he replied, "I hope I won't."

S&S Shortline Train

On Saturday, we went to this cute little train park in Farmington. We have been wanting to go all summer, but they are only open one weekend a month. We were finally in town and did not have plans. The boys loved it! There is this little train that you can ride all around this guys property. It was a lot of fun!



These are the trains that you ride.




They have cute miniature railroad signs.

Silly Boys

It is still warm enough to swim in the hot tub, so Jimmy got in with the boys for a little while on Saturday.




Tyler found these suspenders the other day and thinks they are so cool! He has a tool belt, goggles, gloves and a mask, but the suspenders are the only thing that actually stay on for more than a few minutes.

Preschool!

Tyler started preschool today! He was not excited about it at all, in fact, he did not want to go. He kept telling me that he did not want to go anywhere without me and Jason. He wanted me to stay there with him. Once we got there, and they started to play a few games, he was fine and I ducked out! When I went to pick him up he had a big smile on his face. We ended up playing "preschool" the rest of the afternoon!
We are just doing a Joy School type set up. There are 10 kids and each of the Mom's take a turn teaching in their home. We do it once a week for 2 hours. It is the perfect thing for Tyler!

Sunday Fun

Sunday's can get kind of long and boring since we do not have church until 1:00, but my boys can always find something to do!!


Jason thinks it is so much fun to 1. go through my purse and 2. use all of the tissue that he can to blow his nose. He usually does this in the bathroom and then throws his tissue in the toilet. I had to put the tissue box where he could not reach because he would use so many! (Don't you love his outfit!!) He still wants his shoes on as soon as he wakes up in the morning!


Tyler is obsessed with getting a boat right now. I think that is the only thing he has talked about for 3 days! He has been getting all of his stuff ready to go camping and storing all of it in our garage. You could not even walk out the door there was so much out there! He really thinks that we are going to buy a boat! So, in order to distract him a little bit, we made this cardboard boat. Notice the car pulling the boat on the carpet trailer! This is all Tyler's doing. He can make a boat and trailer out of anything!! He is so creative!

Utah State Fair

We went to the Utah State Fair last weekend with the Oberholzer's, and had a great time! The kids loved all of the animals and had so much fun on the little farm. We rode some rides and of course, ate yummy food!




The little farm was so cute, they had to get some grain to feed the cow, milk the cow, gather apples, plant a garden, gather eggs, gas up and ride a tractor, then take their products to be sold. At the end they got $1 to spend in this little store - it was tons of fun!












These white tigers were really fun to watch!

Duck Park

We love going to the park to feed the ducks. Both boys love to chase them. Jason actually touched a couple this time! The last picture is a hug - not a tackle! Tyler ran all over the park and as he came running back to me, he hugged Jason and said, "I sure missed you guys." It was so cute!

Swing Set

After all of Tyler's hard work making his own swing set, we gave in and bought him a real one! We found an end of season sale and could not resist. The boys LOVE it!! Tyler even likes to give Elmo rides on the glider.

Flaming Gorge

We went camping with my family again this weekend, and had a blast! We went to Flaming Gorge this time, which is an all time favorite camping spot for our family. The boys had so much fun. I think that Jason was covered in dirt the entire time!

Both boys love to cook with rocks and dirt and play in Grandpa's boat. Tyler loves to go fishing with Daddy and Grandpa and even got to reel in a few fish this time. Grandpa lets him drive the boat, which he thinks is great. Tyler lined up rocks and made roads for Lightning McQueen. Jason was hilarious and was always doing something to make us laugh. He is just a goof ball! He would spin around in circles and try to keep standing, learned how to eat sunflower seeds, cooked up a storm, and would NOT let us take off his shoes! He threw a fit when we tried to take them off so he could get in the water.



Aunt Tiffy and Jason (Tyler started calling her Tiffer)


This is what Jason's face looked like the entire time! He was in heaven!


No explaination for this one???



Sunflower seeds with Grandpa (bapa as Jason says)



Tyler the lion! Can't you almost hear the roar??


Naptime! Jason was so tired since he didn't sleep well at night - he took a 2 hour nap!


Cooking dinner! Yummm - mud pies!


Aunt Tiffy tring to teach Jason how to pee on a tree. Yes, that is poop on his bum!!! YUCK!! When Tiff took off his diaper, she didn't realize there was a little surprise for her! I took this picture before we even noticed!


Let's see what happens if I twist the rope on the swing and then let go! Jason only liked it once, but Tyler could not get enough!
