We finally got the boys a new bed. Look how happy they are. Wyatt is on top, Dean on the bottom.

4th of July Rodeo Boys

The 4th of July started off with the Rodeo. We always go with my mom and stepdad, but this year because Paul wasn't in town and Nick had to work, we were able to take Paul's Mom, Dad, Sister and Niece. It was pink night at the Rodeo and so they requested everyone wear Pink (Breast Cancer). My stepdad Gary didn't seem to be happy about that, but he still wore a pink shirt. With the help of everyone the kids were great. The weather couldn't have been better, and the rodeo was just really good. Wyatt loved the last fighting bull and the Wild Man clown act.

The next day we headed for the parade. Mom and Gary had gotten out of bed at 5:30 a.m. just to put our seats out in a perfect place for the kids to have a little room, and to visually see the parade. While I sat and held our spot, Mom and Gary took the boys to the breakfast/carnival. It was great, the boys got fed, and they won lots of prizes and I got to read.

After a very long nap we headed for the fireworks. My mom had been telling me how great the fireworks were and how great their seats were. I didn't believe her until these huge fireworks were right in my lap, it was fantastic and the kids even stayed awake through the entire thing. It was a great 4th of July.

The Park

We went to the park with Champ and baby Kasper

Pool #2

Does this picture off the box look like the same size of pool the boys are in?

we are on pool number two already. I think the boys were sad on how small it turned out. I just have to wait and see what they think of it when it has water.

Palisade 09

We just got back from our Gillespie Family trip. I love Palisade its just south of Manti and it's this little gem in the middle of Utah. They have clean, grassy camp grounds. with a little lake that has a beach to play on and canoe's. Next to this great little place is a 18 hole golf course. That is nice and really fun to play.
The boys love being in a tent. Most of these photos look like we had great weather but it was mostly ruff. wind, wind and more wind. When it wasn't blowing we would run and get our swimsuits on and go play in the water. The boys would catch these little minnows. Dean would hold them for hours.

I tried to capture the wind and bad weather while my nieces were trying to swim with jackets on.

We had to fight the mosquitoes as we played our golf but look we're smiling through it. I think we made the most of our trip. We got to visit with family for a few days and eat good food. I know the boys had a blast and I bet they really didn't notice the weather and bugs. We just hope next year we will have less mosquitoes and more sunny weather.

Last day

Wyatt's last day of school was one hour of singing and reciting poems that he and his class learned all year. All of his grandparents and his Uncle Ryan, joined his parents and Dean in watching him.

When he first got there he was very scared to perform in front of everyone, but as soon as Miss Gretel got them all to start singing and reciting all the kids including Wyatt were having fun in performing.
We have loved Miss Gretel and all the things she has taught Wyatt this year. He continually recites at home the things he has learned. Wyatt is looking forward to going back next year. "Have a nice summer Miss Gretel."

I love getting watermelon. As you can see Wyatt and Razor LOVES it too.

Farm with the cousins

In May we went with our cousins to the farm to see the baby animals. We went on a very cold and rainy day but we still had fun.
