Our boys!

One day after church the boys noticed some Potato bugs outside... they love these bugs!! I though this was a cute pic of them!

Cahlin's T-Ball

Cahlin got to play t-ball this spring and summer! He did really great! The pitchers would try and give the kids a chance to hit the ball without the tee. He did pretty well! Al though he did start doing this strange sort of chopping action! He had fun. I will say tho that t-ball is kind of a boring sport for little kids... they just play in the dirt. :) But he had a good time and he learned about baseball! Love this kid!

Father's Day

So this post is being posted out of turn! BUT at least I'm posting it!! We had a great Father's Day for Kevin this year. He of course requested stake for his dinner, the boys had hot dogs... then for dessert we had his mom's strawberry pie! It was great! The boys and I got Kevin some new clothes for Father's Day. I can't remember this event very well... obviously I need to be better about posting things when they happen so I can remember! Happy Father's Day Daddy!! We love you!

Fun videos

Here are some cute videos of the boys over the summer.... I think they are pretty fun and cute!

My birthday!

It was a great day! The boys and I went up to my mom's house for my birthday. She got me a Dairy Queen ice cream cake! I LOVE their cakes! Plus, it was different from my usual cakes! :) My friend Ashley also got me a cheese cake! I LOVE cheesecake too!! I love the people in my life and am so thankful for everything they do for me and my family. I do have to admit.... 24 was a hard birthday for me. It just sounds so much older than 23... I don't know why! Anyway, thank you everyone for making it a special day and Happy birthday to me! :)

Warm River was SO MUCH FUN this year!! I think we really had a great time! The boys and I camped all by ourselves in our tent! I was very proud of myself for sleeping in a tent by myself without Kevin. Don't get me wrong I was pretty nervous but we lived. Although the last night we had a close encounter with some kind of animal digging around our tent.... I almost died. So, just for future reference... please don't make me sleep in a tent by myself with just my kids to help me defend myself... :) my heart may not live through the next time!
We enjoyed many trips down the river. Playing in the shallow water, using our water pistols, Playing with our great cousins, eating, telling stories around the campfire, getting eaten alive by misquotes, running, laughing, crying ... just to name a few fun things.. :)
We also had the GREAT privilege of seeing Smokey the Bear!!! Cahlin loved it. Eyan ... wasn't quiet as thrilled. We also got to attend a little meeting on Bear Safety. I found it very interesting and Cahlin loved learning what he needed to do to defend himself from bears... ;) The older kids also got to test out how to spray Bear Spray.. it was great fun, and very entertaining!
I have been going to Warm River since I was a small child and it's always been something that I hold close to my heart. I have very great memories of this place. It was fun to see all of my family again. I miss you all. I wish everyone could be closer and we could play all the time... but that would make it so when we are together it wouldn't be quiet as special. Thank you all for helping me when I needed it as I have two small children and only 2 hands!! We can't wait for next year!

2010 4th of July

This year the boys and I headed up to Idaho Falls for the 4th of July celebrations. It started out with a early morning at a 5k! I ran my very first race! And sadly I don't have any pictures! Grandma Jones has them all on her camera! But it was a great race and I was proud of myself for getting it done! Then we headed on over to the Idaho Falls Parade... it was a VERY chilly morning and everyone had a hard time being excited about it! Plus, for some reason the parade took forever to start and stay going!
After the parade we went back to the Desmond's for a BBQ and the annual Water Fight! We had a great time! I will forever say that no will ever beat Grandpa Jones at a water fight... don't even start it you won't win... ever... period.... :)
We then rested our poor little bodies for a while and then ventured out for the fireworks at the Green belt! Things got kinda mixed up and we all ended up getting separated... it was a stressful event for most of us but we eventually got it figured out and settled in for the show! It was great! The boys loved the fireworks. I love seeing the wonder and excitement that is in their eyes when they watch fireworks. It's just great!
Thanks to our friends the Hatch family for coming and spending the day with us! We had so much fun with you!!! We hope it was fun for you as well!
