Our newest family member!

We added a new member to our family. .... Meah... We just love her! She is a Yorkie and is 7 weeks old! She is so much fun. She loves to be held and loves to play with Easton and Mason. The boys love her to death, and we constantly have to remind them to be careful to not smash her! Easton can't wait to take her to show-and-tell in the next few weeks. We went to Trafalga last weekend and Lagoon this weekend... Which means I have a ton of pictures I need to edit and put on here! I just need to find the time!

Happy Day!

I shot my buck this morning. I'll post about it later since I am running behind and have to finish getting ready and get Easton to pre-school! But it was awesome, and I'm way excited. He is a 3X4!

First of all, our chickens have started to lay eggs. (I guess I should say chicken, we are not sure which one, or how many) Easton loves going out everyday and checking for eggs. We only get one about every 3 days, but that is okay, it keeps him guessing!

Last weekend (13th) we went up to Tremonton to say goodbye to Justin's brother, Kyle. He has left on his mission to Brazil. He is going to do such an amazing job. He is going to be a great missionary. He has so much passion for the church! He did a great job talking, and it was great to see all the friends and family there to support him. Easton told me, "Mom, Uncle Kyle is going to be gone for a long time, because when Uncle Erik was on his mission it took FOREVER"! We Love Ya Kyle!!!

Justin's sister has the cutest little girl. She has grown up so much lately, and has quite the personality. If she sees a camera she automatically starts to cheese it. Hence the next picture!

Easton and BryLee are only 10 month apart, and they are the best of friends. Easton calls her "My good friend BryLee"! They sure come up with some crazy things, and they usually make the biggest messes!

We wanted to get a picture of all the grandkids together. It was no easy job. The funniest thing is that all the older kids are looking away, but Tacie has her "CHEESE" face on and is looking directly at the camera!! These guys are going to have so much fun together when they get older!!

P.S. this is not unusual for them!

School Days

Easton started Pre-school today! He woke up really early and hopped in bed with me and said, "Mommy, I'm so excited to go to school today, I really need to take a shower!"!!! All morning he stressed about being late to school! When I finally got him ready and outside to take a few pictures, he wouldn't look at me, because we needed to hurry! Mason quickly came over and said goodbye and gave him a little hug! It was so cute! On the way to school, he kept saying, "I'm so excited"! I took him into the school, and he was totally fine. After school, they dropped him off with my mom (she works at the same school), and I called him. The first thing he said was, "Mom I Love School!" He then quickly rambled things off to me that he did, but I couldn't understand because he was so excited! He can't wait to go back next week! Can't believe I have a child in school!! Too Crazy!!!

I love these boys!

Playgrounds and Puppies

Just another day at the park!! Our cousins have little hound puppies! The boys love going to feed the horses because the puppies come running! Mason just runs and runs and screams while the puppies chase him! It is honestly is so hilarious! Once the puppies catch him he cries and cries. Easton just loves them and loves to let them lick and bite him!

Justin captured these pictures of the boys and my dad a few days ago. They are too cute! I constantly hear Easton telling Mase, "You are my bestest friend." I really hope they are and always will be! We finally got around to going jet-skiing. I know it's the end of the summer! We have all been so busy with everything that we just haven't had any time to do it. Well it was so much fun for the boys. Mase wanted to ride right away so Justin took him out for awhile. Justin started to worry about him though, because the water was splashing him in the face so much. He came back to shore, and as soon as he stopped, Mase started saying he wanted to go again! Easton was hesitant about going, but Justin talked him into it, and he ended up loving it as well. He has told me a few times, "Mom jet-skiing was sooo much fun!"

*** Other big news is that Mason decided to give up his binky (sorta)... He had gone all day without it, and then fell asleep that night without it as well. He never asked for it, so we decided to seize the opportunity and just end it! He has found a few around the house, and wanted them but I have quickly got rid of them. We are on day 4 of it, and haven't had too big of a melt down. Although one draw back is that he is much more vocal. Trying to get him to go to sleep is awful. He just talks and talks and talks. I've been tempted to find a binky and put it in his mouth just so he will be quiet!

*** Also, this week Mason grabbed the exhaust on the dune buggy that was HOT! He ended up really burning his fingers. His thumb got the most of it, but each finger has a little blister on it. It was quite traumatic for him, and now if he feels the heat of anything he has a total panic attack. Poor little guy, felt so bad for him. The crazy thing is that Justin did the same thing when we first started dating each other. Like father like son!
