Happy Birthday Justin!

I am posting this a few days late, because I am just having time to do this. However, our computer crashed so I won't have any pictures to post. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next few days though. Justin turned 25 on Wednesday. We went up north the day before to pick up something for his birthday. After talking about possible options I told him to decide what he wanted. It honestly took ALL DAY for him to make up his mind. He ended up getting a new release for his bow, and new goose decoys.. (boring right??) I was leaning toward a flat screen t.v., or ipod touch, but you know, whatever floats his boat! Who knew someone could be so excited over plastic geese! Anyways, we decided to go camping for his birthday, it was a lot of fun, and so warm. The boys got to play in the creek and Justin did a lot of fishing. Everyone had a good time and was very wore out by the time we got home. I have tons of pictures that will come soon! Justin, we love you so much. Thanks for everything you do! Happy Birthday!

Park Fun

The boys and I decided to head to the Park today to get some energy out. They of course had tons of fun. Mason is pretty brave and will go up and down about anything that Easton does. This park has a splash pad that we were hoping to play in. However, it wasn't turned on. Our luck would have it, that as soon as we got in the truck to come home, it turned on! Guess we will just have to go back and play again! I'm sure the boys won't mind!

I decided to edit some of my favorite pics for the past few days. Even though they are on here in other places, I want them here too! Tacey- My cousin's litte girl! Mason playing in the river!

Rapelling Fun!

Erik had some friends come down and stay for a few days. We decided to go and take them rappelling! Shareese was horrified, but overcame her fears and went down 3 different times. Sadie had gone before and went down a few times. Justin was a pro, and could hop down in 3 hops. Erik usually doesn't dare to go but he couldn't let the girls show him up, and went down twice! I made it down once, but my shirt got caught in the figure 8 ring and ended up getting a big hole in it! Decided I better not push my luck! It was a lot of fun, and the boys loved watching everyone come down!

Erik's Home!!

Erik came home from his mission last Wednesday! It is so awesome to have him home!! We all missed him so much! It was a crazy day! His plane got in early so he ended up waiting for us to arrive at the airport. We were hurrying and I almost walked right into him. I wasn't expecting him to be there yet, and there he was! We then went to the Oquirrh Temple Open House. It was so beautiful! Easton loved being able to go inside the Temple for once, rather than waiting outside for us. Sunday was Erik's homecoming for the Ward. He did a good job speaking and everyone was so happy to have him home. We then had a family dinner. It was yummy food! Plus it is so fun to get together with everyone and talk! It is so good to have him home. I missed him like crazy. The boys are completely in love with him. Mason goes around the house yelling "uck, uck, uck". Erik has grown so much and changed in so many ways. He is awesome and we love him!!

Mason and Scoop

Who can resist a little boy and his backhoe? Mason and Scoop have quite the relationship! Mason loves Scoop and doesn't go anywhere without him. This includes going to sleep. I honestly have to wait until he is sound asleep before I pry his finger off of Scoop. As soon as we head out the door to go somewhere, Mason grabs Scoop and holds him the entire time in his car seat. We actually had to listen to Mase cry the entire drive to Church today, because I wouldn't let him bring Scoop along! As soon as we pulled back into the yard, he started saying "backhoe, backhoe, Scoop." I couldn't believe he hadn't forgot about it!! Quite the little boy! But I love him so much!
