Easton's 7th Birthday

Easton's birthday this year fell on the last day of school.  So we had his friend party right after school.  They shot some hoops, raced around a backyard obstacle course, and played and had cake and ice cream.  Wow what a wild bunch!

We then did a birthday bbq that night with our family to celebrate Easton and Xadin's birthdays (his cousin Xadin turned 1 the following day)

Basketball cake for the friend birthday party, and you can't see, but the water bottles have labels that say "Happy Birthday Easton"

Photo Overload

Took a family hike this weekend up Mapleton Canyon trail

Sunday after church we went down to the Junior High field and played catch, and Easton practiced his golf swing with his new clubs.

Shyler really knows how to eat some juicy ribs! It was dripping down her hands. lol

Zoey really doesn't love her baths...can you see the begging and pleading in her eyes?

Easton sprayed me in the back with his water gun...so Cole did the gentlemenly thing and got him back for me :)

Shyler did her Passion Project at school on Hunting.  We did a little video for her presentation of her shooting the .22 at this target.

Shyler, just being cute

One afternoon after church, after getting all my things out of the car, I walked in to the living room to this! In that short amount of time, Easton had run in, put his Halloween costume on, and was getting a show turned on.  Silly boy.

Shyler raced in the Hershey Track Field Day this year...here she is in the first round of the 50M dash- she took first in that race.  She also did the softball throw and long jump.

Casey's family came down on Memorial Day and we met up with them at the Spanish Fork Resevoir

Took the kids and our neighbors to the new splashpad...these silly boys...thought they were so funny!

Mothers Day 2013

Mothers Day was great this year.  Shyler and Easton made me some really cute little gifts.  I had a great day at church, the Bishop gave a really great talk in Sacrament meeting, and then during the last hour of church, the Bishopric provided some snacks and all the women just spent the time visiting.

After church we packed a picnic and went to the park with Mom, Kim and her kids, Matthew, and Kelli.  We had so much fun visiting, laughing, playing football, racing the kids bikes, and just having a good time all around!

I kept snapping pictures of Cole...I mean I couldn't stop, he is just so cute...So he threw the football at me (nice), I caught the football mid throw and ducked just in time! haha

Easter 2013

Yard Makeover

We had this HUGE ugly tree in our backyard...Cole has been wanting to cut it down for years...he finally did.

Here is Cole up in the tree taking all the limbs off.

After about a week of digging and cutting all the roots off...

Cole had to take a picture of me cutting the limbs for firewood

Cole is a genius....he always has a solution to everything...to jack the stump up in order to get under the roots better, Cole used this jack.

We even used his 4 wheeler to pull roots out!

Our backyard has NO privacy now...time to start saving for a new fence

Another Saturday, we cut up a bunch of crappy lawn to replace with new sod and to reseed.  I don't have an after pic for this post, but believe me- it's so much better!

 

New Eyes

Shyler was having trouble seeing far away...so off to the eye doctor... Yep, she needed some glasses... She only wears them in school to see the board, or any other time she feels like she needs them.

Trakker- Little Red Riding Hood- 1st Grade Play

Easton played a Trakker in his 1st Grade's class production of "Little Red Riding Hood"

Watch Out Sister!

I went on a bike ride with the kids tonight..as Easton zoomed by me, he exclaimed, "Watch out Sister!"
I said, "I'm not your sister".
"You are in the spirit world," he yelled back over his shoulder.
What a cutie.
