First Day of School 2010

Easton had his first day of Pre-School today. He was had such a blast last year that he has been so excited and could hardly get to sleep last night. He couldn't wait to show off his cool Mario backpack and to see who his new friends would be! Another bonus was that he gets to ride the bus home this year! He told me that it was a little borin' but that he likes it! Mason decided he wanted a picture but wouldn't look at me. So Easton helped... So we tried again... A little better, so we gave it one more shot... Still not looking! :) We are so proud of Easton and can't believe that next year he'll be going to Kindergarten! *** Last night I got mad at Mason for ripping a book up that I bought for them for Christmas last year. He turned to me and said, "He told me to do it." I asked, "Who told you?" He replied, "The Holy Ghost... He's sooo naughty." Ha, what are we going to do with him!?! *** Also, the boys were in the bathtub and were talking about how old they are. Easton tells Mason, "You are so lucky. You are only 2, being 4 is such hard work!" Then on the way to school this afternoon he says, "Mom being 4 is such hard work because I have to take care of my little bother." (not brother but bother)! Crazy funny kids!

Jumpin Jacks

Yesterday we met Justins family in Orem and went to Jumpin Jacks. It was a blast! We ended up staying there for 5 hours! The kids had a lot of fun, but I think most of the adults had the MOST fun!

(The pictures aren't very good, I didn't take my nice camera, and the lighting was horrible)

Bryan and Justin were having so much fun that Meghan and I climbed to the top of one of the slides to see how long it would take for them to realize we were gone... Yep, it took a 1/2 hour! We all had a fun time, and laughed until we had stomache aches. The kids were so happy to see each other, (it's been 3 months). Justin and Bryan raced through this course many times... Kimberly playing with the kids... Or by herself... :)

4 of the 5 grandkids. I couldn't get them to hold still... Imagine that!

All 5 Grandkids! They are the cutest!

Here is the whole family-except Kyle. We took this picture for him! We all definently miss him, and talk and think about him a lot! Only 1 year left 'till he comes home! Nice looking group, I would say!

After playing we headed to the mall to get some ice cream. It was soo Yummy. Bryan and I also had to have some Panda Express :)MMMM! The kids rode a few more rides of course.

Bryan and BryLee tried a hurricane simulator...

BryLee didn't like it very much!

It was an amazing day! We didn't get home until late and all crashed. Justin didn't get up for his early church meetings because he was so tired, I dragged the boys out of bed for church, and then when we got home we all took a 2-3 hour nap! Love all you guys, and hope to see you soon!

I wanna ride...

Our driveway is too rough and bumpy for Easton to ride his bike. When he tries he ends up just spinning out. So we took Easton and Mase down to a main road where he could really ride. Both of them had a good time, and Mason started learning how to pedal a real bike. I think we are going to have to invest in another bike! Meah goes everywhere the boys go. She keeps an eye on them, and worries about what they are doing!

Fishin' in the dark

Yesterday we decided to go fishing. I love Ferron Reservoir, so that's where we went. We went there earlier in the summer and caught a bunch of fish, so we thought we would try our luck again. We walked down to the water, Justin got Mason's line ready, I threw it in, and instantly he had a fish on it. He reeled it in as quick as his little arms would turn the reel! He was so proud! He even helped Justin hit it over the head, and thought it was awesome that its eye bugged out! When we would move to a new place he would pack the fish in one hand and his rootbeer in the other (rootbeer is his FAVORITE drink now-a-days). Easton has a hard time sitting still while fishing, and is constantly reeling in his line, and throwing it out. Justin finally told him, "You can NOT reel that in unless I tell you that you can." Not even 5 seconds later Eastons reeling in his line. Justin says, "What did I tell you?" Easton replies, "There is a fish on my line." He always says this and there never is. Justin tells him, " No Easton, you don't have a fish on your line, just leave it alone." Easton tells Justin, "Dad my line says there is a fish." Just then SPLASH! Yep, he had a fish! Easton had the "I told you so" look on his face :) I had a pretty good laugh! Easton reeled it on all the way to the shore and then it got off. There were many tears shed because of that...

So Mason had only caught that one fish, and then no more. We remembered that fishing got really good just as the sun went down the last time we were there. So we waiting, and sure enough as soon as the sun went behind the mountain we were catching fish like crazy! I even caught this HUGE one!

We had a good time fishing in the dark. Mason can't wait to eat the fish he caught, and Easton is now glad he didn't reel the fish in all the way because he doesn't have to eat any.:)

Grandma bought the boys these really cool molds for Popsicles. The boys had been begging me for weeks to make them some, and I finally got around to it. We made them at night and they weren't ready until morning. So guess what they had for breakfast?!? Yep.. I'm an awesome mom! :) Justin bow hunted this year. He shot one on the 24th. A really nice three-point! I don't think I have seen my hubby smile so much in long time! Good Job Justin!!

San Diego Day 5

Today was the day to head home. We all were sad to leave. Although Mason really missed Grandpa, Easton really missed Meah, and Daddy really missed sleeping in his bed without Mase in it :). Mommy and Grandma could have stayed another 5 days! Mason was super wore out so he slept on both of the flights.

Easton really wanted to take a picture of the plane wing to show his pre-school class. I think he did an awesome job!

San Diego Day 4

Today we decided to go to San Diego Zoo. We didn't have a car to drive, so we decided to take the Old Town Trolley. This takes you all over San Diego, and while driving you learn about the parts of the city. It was a lot of fun, and the boys really enjoyed it. The Trolley makes stops at a bunch of different places, and we got off for a while at Sea Port Village. It has a bunch of different shops. We looked around there for awhile and got some San Diego stuff. Then we got back on the head to the Zoo.

We only had a few hours to do the Zoo because we had to catch the Trolley to make it back to the Hotel. Since the Zoo is HUGE we decided to ride their tour bus so the boys could see things at the far end. They loved this, and we got to see a lot of animals up close. After the tour we walked to the monkeys, since we didn't see them. Easton's favorite animal was the Elephant, and Mason loved the Giraffes! There was even a baby. Mason chose a stuffed giraffe for his toy from the zoo. He has been carrying it around every since!

When we got back from the zoo, the boys wanted to go swimming. Mommy was to sunburned to go, so Daddy took them. After having watched the penguins at Sea World, Easton and Mason decided that the only way to get into the water was to do it on their bellies. They had a good time sliding into the pool. Justin was an awesome dad and caught them over and over :)
