Look Who's 3!

 Ryder turned 3 last week.  And I cannot believe how grown up he is getting.  I feel like he is no longer my baby anymore but really a little boy now.  He was so excited for his birthday and told everyone we past that it was his birthday today.  We had a little party with both grandparents that night.  He has wanted a "giant donut cake" (that he saw a the craft store) for the last almost year, so that is what he got. 

 

 

He is such a cute little boy and I absolutely love him.  Sometimes his non-stop talking can get on my nerves but he makes me laugh so much everyday with his sweet little voice.  He loves to wrestle with his brothers and to help me with anything that I am doing, especially in the kitchen.   

4th of July

The 4th of July was spent a little differently this year.  Because of all the rain and snow the road up to the cabin was washed out and we couldn't get trucks up there.  So everyone decided that we couldn't haul all of our stuff up on the four wheelers so we spent the weekend in Mayfield.  On our way down, we had to stop and get a picture with Mater in front of the movie theater.  Ryder was really excited!

 We rode up to the cabin when we got to Mayfield.  I took the dune buggy and the little boys and Mark took Conner on the four wheeler.  I had so much fun and got completely covered in mud.  I forget how much fun it is to get dirty.  I guess that is why my kids love playing in the mud, too.  It was kind of sad to not stay at the cabin this year.

We spent some time playing at the park. The little boys absolutely love to ring the bell on the train. 

 I was really surprised by Paxton.  He usually hates to go on anything that he can see through the floor on or anything wobbly, like this bridge.  But he had lots of fun on it and I think he was proud of himself. 

 We came home on Sunday and spent Monday playing around here.  We went for a little walk/picnic up to Bridal Veil Falls.  The boys thought it was fun to play in the water and throw rocks. 

 Mark took Bo up the falls a lot higher than we did with the boys.  Bo was loving the water too!

 Here is Mark showing off his rock climbing skills. 

June has come and gone

Here's what we have been up to...

 I signed Conner up for a basketball camp.  He was really excited for it and had lots of fun and learned a few basic skills. 

 Paxton was able to play on a t-ball league.  It was pretty entertaining to watch the games.  Paxton loved to hit the ball but wasn't too thrilled about the rest of the game. 

 Conner had swimming lessons the first of the month.  He did pretty well and really loves to be in the water. 

 

We went camping to our ward's camp out.  It was pretty fun.  Conner had a blast running around with all of the kids.  I think camping would be more fun if I could sleep better and my kids didn't wake up before the sun is up.  But it really was a lot of fun!
