Beware A Picture EXPLOSION

So after the entire summer of lame posts with no pictures, we have finally put our pictures on the computer, all 600 of them. Don't worry I'm not putting all of them on there just a few, well maybe a bit more than a few. I missed posting a lot of fun things we did this summer, I hope you enjoy.

Just hanging out. (upside down)
Playing in the sprinklers- surprising this is the first time my kids ever have done it.



Peeping Toms

Ben's first day of pre-school.
Picture's of Seth's Birthday
Seth brand new
Seth and his proud Big Brother
Seth's first Birthday
We love our little Seth. He is so full of life. Still very "curious" to put it nicely. He loves to cuddle and copycats everything Ben does, but definitely is his own person. He is a perfect fit for our family.
Seth's second Birthday
Seth's first hair cut.

Camping "out" in the backyard.

Seth only made it till 10:00

This is funny. For my family reunion/ Grandpa's 80th birthday we went a swimming pool (the one that is in The Sandlot- "hammon ball"). Well they have a huge conveyor belt type of slide where you ride on a raft type thing. The rule to go down the slide is that you are taller than the raft or you can carry to to the top without help. The raft is NOT light. Ben got it in his head that he wanted to go down the slide, so we told him the rule and he said he would do it. He headed up the stairs with his not easy task. Kory was with him and kept telling him he didn't have to keep going, but Ben would say "I'm almost there"- he said that when was at the bottom and kept going.He made to the top and took off.
Made it all the way down.and wiped out at the bottom. The raft flipped on him and he swam to the edge with it on top of him. He was safe and was more worried about a band-aid that had fallen off his finger. He did say afterwards "I think I was a little to0 little for that slide".My Family (mostly)My family with my paternal grandparents. They are so cute and I love so much. They have been married 59 years. What a great example of love and patience.
This game- the marble game is something my grandpa made and I played with when I was little, a favorite and cherished game.

That Famous Preston Night Rodeo.
There is a parade with lots of candy, a Rodeo with a champion clown, a carnival with twirling rides and greasy food. What else could you ask for? This was the first year in many that we were able to go. The kids are enjoying the parade.
The 24th of July parade in our neighborhood. We had police escorts, it was cool.

4th of July at my sister's in Colorado- out of order I know




Ben got a hair cut too. It was a mo-hawk-but is no more.

My superheroes. Thanks to my mom for making the capes, they play with them all the time.


What we did most of the summer- SWIM. It is great to have a pool in your backyard. Ben is a swimming fool. Seth is a jumping fool.


Pooped. I think I have figured an easier way to post my pictures, because as of right now it is a process, but I can not make any promises that it will be soon. Sorry for so many pictures. It is just I really think you need pictures with most posts. And we did have a fun summer and I thought I'd share.

Looks like you guys have been busy! Love the mohawk on Ben. Glad that you had an eventful summer. When they announced the temple in Philadelphia I immediately thought of you guys. I'm sure this was great news! We are coming home in December for just a couple of weeks. Are you by any chance going to be in Preston? I would love to get together with you guys. Let me know. Your boys are handsome as ever.

I am so glad you finally posted. I've been thinking about you. I asked Beckie how you were doing and she said she hadn't heard from you either. I hope you are doing well. How long until the baby is born?

You did have a fun summer! So jealous you made it to the Preston Rodeo. I haven't made it out there in YEARS!!! It is definitely on my list of things to do when we're done with school. Glad to see you are doing well.
