2 years old!

This post is a month late... I can't believe my baby is 2! He has been such a joy and has kept me on my toes the last 2 years! He is a very busy little boy but so loving and cuddly!! We love him so much!!! HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY AIDEN!

5 years ago....

I can't believe how fast the last 5 years have gone! They have been the best 5 years of my life I think! I am so grateful for andy all he is for me and my little family. He is the best daddy and has won the hearts of our little boys, he is their hero! He is my best friend and means the world to me! I love you babe!

LAKE POWELL!!!

Lake Powell was a blast, it has been 6 years since I was able to go with my family. They go every couple of years. Andy had never been able to go because I have been pregnant and almost ready to have a baby when they have gone but, we had so much fun! So glad that we were able to go! Aiden stayed behind with Grandma Boyd and my sister SueAnn. We missed him terribly but he would have been such a handful there we are glad he didn't go. Here are several pictures of our week at Lake Powell :)

Kyler loved the Banana tube! He would stand at the end of the house boat staring at the tube until someone would ask him if he wanted a ride on it. It was pretty funny!

Andy and Brady cliff jumping. They kept going higher and higher.

Andy going down the slide and trying to.... not sure... surf? lol

Kyler jumping off the diving board! He did it the first day, and I missed it! He thought it was fun but didn't want to do it again... lol. I finally convinced him to do it again on the last day. He only did it once.

Me waterskiing

and I learned how to wakeboard.... kinda

Kayak rides

Kyler going off the slide... he LOVED that thing!! Up and down the slide over and over!

First camping trip this year!!! Lava Hot springs!

A new tradition in our family is this camp-out! Smith Trout Haven just outside Lava and spending a day at the pools! It was a lot of fun!
Our camp spot!!

Can anyone say "CHEESE??"Aiden walking around pulling his pants down!
All the kids... and grandpa!
JaNae our adopted sister finally joined us on a camping excursion.
The campground has swings and teeter totters scattered through the campground!
Day at the pool!! Our pool camp spot! I had gotten a HORRIBLE sunburn and needed shade we took the little canopy thing for some shade.

Eating lunch!
NAP TIME! Our homemade shade tent!! If you tell Aiden to not eat something... this is what happens!! The whole oreo is in his mouth!

My eye is sad!! BLOG OVERLOAD... I think I did 6 posts today!! WAY BEHIND!

Kyler has gotten really tender hearted lately. We were at the cabin for free fishing day and all the kids were in the kitchen while Trent and SueAnn were making dinner. Trent herded the kids out of the kitchen. Kyler came over to Andy and I whimpering a little. He pointed to his eye and said... "my eye is sad". We questioned what was wrong with his eye and he just said that it was sad, while crying. A few minutes later he calmed down and I asked him if his eye was happy now and he said no, it is sad. I asked why his eye was sad and he sad because he didn't like trent. I asked why and he said "Trent pushed me".

Yard Work!

Back yard, play area.... Three years in the making! lol! The boys love it!Front yard... I got a tree and some other plants from my mother in law... and it was partially for mothers' day! I love it! The tree is a blossoming crab tree and I have three rose bushes in there too!
Finally planted a garden... hopefully it comes up! I'm not so good with plants :)

Free Fishing day!!

I haven't been fishing in so long... almost 8 or 9ish years. I just don't really enjoy it. But we decided to go up to the cabin, since it is still too muddy to camp, and go fishing at Henry's Lake. It was a nice weekend.

We went to Mill Creek Pond, which was supposed to be freshly stocked with fish.... We got there 30 minutes before it started and no one caught any fish for an hour and a half! it was kinda sad... we didn't catch any the 2 hours we were there! we were pretty disappointed! So we went back to Henry'sOH AIDEN! He got the dirtiest kid award... he even drank some of the pond water... GROSS!Kyler's big fish! He didn't love fishing. My dad didn't love taking him fishing either. Dad had his pole and Kyler's right by each other ready to go and laid back to take a little snooze. Well... while he was snoozing kyler pulled grandpa's line in and got all tangled up in it... and pulled his own line in. So neither lines were out that whole time. lol!We had a nice fish fry on Sunday after we were all back home. It was delicious!
Smores!!
