Wow that's a LOT of candy! Don't worry Mom will help with the Snickers:)

Cutest Buzz Light Year

Show us your Ninja moves Whaaaaaaaaaaa!

This Reaper has muscles too!!

My little monsters!!

SMORES

Ty built this cool fire pit in the backyard for us to roast marshmallows and hot dogs...

We had fun making Smores and of course the boys had to throw any stray leaves and sticks in the fire too. It's fun to pretend you're camping but then go inside and sleep in your own beds!!

Where did summer go?

These past few months have flown by. The kids started school already. Jett was so excited for Kindergarten and Mase is loving 2nd grade. Trey has been keeping busy riding his bike. I wish I had his energy! We went camping a few times, and had family reunions and birthday parties. Summer is not long enough to squeeze it all in!

Jett's in kindergarten-or tindergarten as he says

Woohoo big 2nd grader

My handsome boys

The boys were fascinated by Kennecott

We went to the splash park a few times

Happy 4th of July!

We went camping and tried out the new pellet gun

The boys finished baseball and got some cool trophies

Jett and Trey had birthdays in May so we had some friends over to play on a big slide

Mud Mania

You know Trey didn't make that mud without some help...

Happy Mother's Day!

My friend just emailed this to me and I had to share!

THE
NEXT SURVIVOR
SERIES
Six married men
will be dropped on an island
with one car
and 3 kids each
for six weeks.

Each kid will play two sports
and take either music or dance classes.

There is no fast food.

Each man must
take care of his 3 kids;
keep his assigned house clean,
correct all homework,
complete science projects,
cook,
do laundry,
and pay a list of 'pretend' bills
with not enough money.

In addition,
each man
will have to budget enough money
for groceries each week.

Each man
must remember the birthdays
of all their friends and relatives,
and send cards out on time--no emailing.

Each man must also take each child
to a doctor's appointment,
a dentist appointment
and a haircut appointment.

He must make one unscheduled and
inconvenient visit per child to the Emergency Room.

He must also make cookies or cupcakes
for a school function.

Each man will be responsible for
decorating his own assigned house,
planting flowers outside, and keeping it
presentable at all times.

The men will only have access to television
when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.

The men must shave their legs,

wear makeup daily,

adorn themselves with jewelry,

wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes,

keep fingernails polished,

and eyebrows groomed

During one of the six weeks,

the men will have to endure severe
abdominal cramps, backaches, headaches,
have extreme, unexplained mood swings
but never once complain or slow down
from other duties.

They must attend weekly school meetings
and church,
and find time at least once to spend
the afternoon at the park or a similar
setting.


They will need to read a book to the kids each night
and in the morning,
feed them,
dress them,
brush their teeth and
comb their hair
by 7:30 am.


A test will be given
at the end of the six weeks,
and each father will be required to know
all of the following information:
each child's
birthday,
height, weight,
shoe size, clothes size,
doctor's name,
the child's weight at birth,
length, time of birth,
and length of labor,
each child's favorite color,
middle name,
favorite snack,
favorite song,
favorite drink,
favorite toy,
biggest fear,
and what they want to be when they grow up.

The kids vote them off the island based on performance.

The last man wins only if...
he still
has enough energy
to be intimate with his spouse
at a moment's notice.


If the last man does win,
he can play the game over and over and over
again for the next 18-25 years,
eventually earning the right
to be called Mother!

Trey

Trey kills us with his king size attitude "you not da boss mom I da boss" and his mischievous smile. He actually wanted to play t ball this year but we decided to wait one more year. So for now he is just hanging out watching his brothers, eating snacks, and making me chase him all over the park.

Take me out to the ball game

It's that time of year again.  Crock pot dinners, "where's my mitt", and total exhausted kids (and parents!).  Masen is in the Pee Wee league this year, which means three strikes you're out!  The first time that happens is sad because they are used to getting more chances to hit the ball.  He's doing great and loves his teammates.

 
Jett had a great time at his first game. Once he got done spinning in circles and kicking his mitt around he decided to give the other team a glimpse of his shy quite side. Ya right!?! He did great too and had alot of fun.

Easter

A white Easter... Gotta love Utah! We took the boys to the Easter egg hunt at the park Saturday. Trey's age group was first, it was so cute watching the little ones. We, okay I, lost Jett (big surprise). In my defense there were like 200 kids in his age group!! Anyway, our neighbor was there and helped us look for him. She found him just wandering through the crowd. I am sending him in on a rope next year little stinker. Luckily Mase is tall enough and doesn't wander off like someone else, so we didn't lose him after his age group was done! After the Easter egg hunt we went to a birthday part for my niece and the boys played with cousins. More family parties on Easter with Ty's family. I'm sure we'll be heading to the dentist after all the candy is finally gone!

Jett

Friday was Jett's kindergarten registration. It was so cute, the staff at the elementary school made it so fun for the kids. Since the school mascot is a mustang it was a western theme. All the kids got a cowboy hat to wear back the first day of kindergarten, along with a little bag with a treat and a picture they colored. At the end they gave the kids a Kneaders sugar cookie (my favorite) and when I went to pick up Jett he didn't have a cookie. I went to the lady and asked for a cookie for Jett and she said she gave him one and he threw it in the garbage-without even taking a bite! I must have looked pretty sad about the cookie because she snuck me another one. Anyway can't wait for Jett to go to kindergarten, it's going to be an adventure for both of us!

Washable Markers

Okay so this is the after picture-Trey in time out after his "bathroom art"

Come on mom it's beautiful!

See mom, this is my favorite!

Can't let him out of my sight for a second... Thank goodness it was washable and not a sharpie! To his credit he did grab a wash cloth and try to clean it up before I saw it.
