YAY!!!

Justin is now an Emery Spartan!!!! He is going to be the new FFA teacher at Emery High starting this year! We are so grateful for this chance, and feel very blessed for things to have worked out the way that they have. I'm excited to have him close to home, and the boys are excited to think they'll be able to have him as a teacher eventually:) Time to bring on the BLACK AND GOLD!

Justin's 27th Birthday

We had our ultrasound to find out if we're having a girl or boy on Justin's Birthday. On the way to Payson, I thought Mason had fallen asleep and it was so cute. I took a picture and then he started laughing. He is sure such a tease! I'll do another post telling about the whole ultrasound story. After our Dr. Appointment, we went to the Provo Mall, Cabelas, and the South Towne Mall. We then met Bryan and Meghan at the Residence Inn in downtown Salt Lake (Super Nice). Justin wanted to eat at Joes so that's where we headed. Of course, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to sing/humiliate him in public!

He was such a good sport!

The kids had planned to sleep together on the pullout couch. (We had a two room suite). But they weren't going to sleep and were just messing around. We finally banned them to their own rooms, and poor Mason cried for probably an hour and half for BryLee. It was a short night!

We got up the next morning and had breakfast and the dads took the kids swimming. My boys sure do love Sawyer.

Cars 2 had been released the previous day so we went to watch it. It was a super cute movie, but the only kid that watched it was Easton. Mason and BryLee both fell asleep during it. Like I said it was a short night!

We had a fun time, and Justin ended up getting golf clubs. Millsite just opened up their back 9 holes, and he's super excited to go try them out!

Liar, Liar...

Mason did something naughty, so in turn he ended up being GROUNDED from the DS. He was not a happy camper, but knew that if he played it he would be punished for even long. Well as the evening went on I noticed that Mase had disappeared- you know where it gets to be a little tooo quiet? I call for him, and he came from his bedroom. He acted all calm, and yawned and said he was back trying to go to sleep, cause he was "just so so so tired." I thought, "Wow, that's amazing, that he'll put himself to bed." So I sent him back to go to sleep, thinking, "Heck yes!!!" Well about a 1/2 hour later I went to see if he had actually fallen asleep yet and I found this.... YEP. He is totally playing the DS, and had been for at least 45 minutes!!! I caught him big time, and he was soo surprised. He did mention that he had really fooled me! Little Stinker! And yes, his punishment went for an extra day (:

Bird Feeders

The boys wanted to make some bird feeders (even though it's summer and there is plenty of food around). So when we walked to the waterfall, we brought back some nice pinecones. We then covered them in PB and rolled them in bird seed. They boys had a blast doing it and getting messy!

Easton has since then made a bird house. I need to take some pictures of it and post too:)

P.S. I'm 1/2 way through my pregnancy, and I found out today, the baby LOVES salt and vinegar chips!!!

Waterfall and Haystacks

The other day ( June 2) we decided to go for a hike up to see this waterfall that is above the narrows. Easton insisted on taking his drawing book so he could draw his own picture of the waterfall.

The boys had a lot of fun and loved splashing in the water and exploring around on the cliffs. We also took all 3 of our dogs, who had a blast too!

It was a good time. After we got home a haystack fell on my dad and fractured his left hip. He ended up having to go to the U of U hospital on the 4th and have surgery. They put in a metal plate and 6 screws. He is home from the Hospital now but he can't put any weight on that leg for 10 weeks. We're so glad that he is okay.

May...

My birthday was on the 20th! As soon as Mason woke up he told me Happy Birthday. My mom's class sang to me, the Girls Choir sang, and my 7th hour sang to me too! When I got home from work my dad and Mason had decorated the house for me. Mason wanted my dad to draw Princess Peach to represent me... Justin made me my favorite dinner.. Pork Chops! They were soo good! My mom and the boys made and decorated my favorite cake Funfetti! I was so spoiled. Justin's gave me a new necklace, and he promised me to go get family picture done from lady from Wayne County! My parents gave me a Cricut that cuts Fondant! It's soo cool. I can't wait to try it out! Erik and Troylynn gave me a new watch that is super cute. ---- Mason has been being really careful with his cast, trying to keep it dry and clean. Well it's been raining here like crazy, so everything is muddy. Mason and Easton helped my dad fill the Pivot Tracks with rocks one day, and Mase decided to try to jump a huge ditch.. Well he ended up looking like this... Cast and All... I have a new niece! (: Sawyer was born on the 23rd and weighed 9lbs 3 oz. She is so beautiful! We were able to go to Tremonton for Memorial Weekend and see Sawyer and all the family. We had a great time!

Justin took the 4-wheeler and he and Bryan went riding-in the rain and mud! They had a great time. Meghan and I just laughed at how they were so giddy like little kids. They spent a lot of time in the backyard with their dad building a jump and filming each other! -----

On the way home from Tremonton we went to the Aquarium with Tiffiny and Trevor. The kids had a great time, and loved it! Easton was pretty scared of some of things, but Mason and Tacie were fascinated with everything!

The Jelly Fish are my favorite! I would love to have a room in my house full of these glowing! It's so relaxing!

Seahorses are sooo weird! We watched them for a long time too.

Lion Fish... Mason kept asking why they were soo sad looking. :(

Easton pulling weird faces! There were so many cool animals in this one!

Easton was most excited for the penguins. We watched them for a long time. We didn't get any good pictures of them, they swim way too fast! Easton and Mason decided to measure up to the penguins...

Of course my boys HAVE to have a new stuffed animal (: They get one at every animal thing we go to, it seems! Mason named his Gecko- Long Tonguey and Easton named his Turtle- Toga

On the way home, I had a Dr. Appointment. The boys were able to hear the baby's heartbeat. We scheduled the ultrasound to find out what it is for June 24th. Justin's Birthday! We are so excited, and I'm counting down the days!

Bryan has always called Mason "May May". Mason has told us he doesn't like it, so we told him he just need to let Bryan know. Well he finally did, and this is how his conversation went....

Mason-Bryan my name isn't May May it's Mason

Bryan- Oh well can't I call you May May anyways?

Mason- (trying to be nice) Well I guess, but it's just kinda weird!

He for sure lets you know what he thinks!

Grandma Kristie was holding Mason and asking if he was excited to go back to his house and see his chickens, and dogs, and sleep in his own bed. Mason turned to her and said, "Ya, and I'm excited to see my usual grandparents." He's just started using the word usual to describe everything!
