Farming Fun

Also while up in Washington with Christine and Garrett, we had a lot of fun seeing his relatives' farm. The boys loved interacting with all of the animals and all of the open space to run around. It was so much fun for all of us!

Bridger tried holding it himself at first...

So cute...

kisses...haha don't worry, he actually never touched it

how perfect is this picture ;)

Bridger feeding the goats. So fun!

Tough guy

Going on four wheelers! Wahoo! (my foot still hurt from my little parasailing accident so this was perfect for me to drive the boys around).

and to top it off...pony rides! Bridger felt like a real cowboy and loved every minute of it!

Mason was once again just a tough guy of course

water fun

They had a little lake on their farm as well with canoe rides and water slides!

We were trying to get the boys together for a picture...Bridger was trying to help too :)

I love Mason's face here...scared haha

so cute!

Parasailing in Washington

In the early fall we went to Washington with Christine and Garrett to visit some of his family up there. One of his uncles had a home on Moses lake and we were able to go parasailing! Here are some pics from our adventure...

getting all ready to go

the boys were a little concerned for us

Tay taking off...

the rope was really long so it was awesome to be up so high

Here is attempt number one for me...the sail didn't fill with air so I got dragged the first time...yep ouch...I was ok though in the end and so glad I tried again because when I got up the second time, it was so beautiful up there!

look ma no hands!

Captain Moroni

For family night a couple of months ago, we told the boys the story of Captain Moroni and then we had them make their own title of liberty flags. Helmets were a must have of course too haha.

Hoisting the title of liberty

Marching up and down the hallway, to rally the people of course

...and Mason also hoisting the title of liberty? haha

Getting Messy

We have been having a lot of fun lately trying some new experiments: Mess, mess, and more mess! The boys of course love playing with all sorts of goopy, gooey stuff and it's fun for me to watch. I love it too because it's so fun to watch them play with it and then I just hose them off afterwards in the bath :)

"ooblik"  a corn starch mixture :)

Shaving cream

now this one wasn't sanctioned by me of course...thankfully I caught it quick enough that it only was on his feet and a little on his hands...fyi: permanent marker comes out pretty good if you wash it off right away with lots of soap and some scrubbing

look at that innocent face haha

and of course pretty much every meal is a fun surprise...

Summer Family Pics

Another post from the summer months...we got family pics with Karlee Payne who did a great job even with the harsh sunlight rays :) (it was one hot day whew!)
