My baby got a hair cut

Ryan has needed a hair cut for a while. So I went ahead and did it yesterday. I did it after 3 people at church told me he looked like he had an old man comb over! It was so soft and cute the way it waved and flipped up.....oh well, gone are the long wavey locks........

And now my baby boy looks like a big boy! It is crazy how much they grow up in the 10 minutes it takes to give them a hair cut! (yes it took me 10 minutes! I am not a professional and he is a very wiggly boy!)

Just Daddy's boys

What can I say? Or do? j/k...

(Luke is not pointing the gun at Ryan, it is just the way I was standing when I took the picture)

Memorial Day

Trapper Days is something we have started looking forward to at
our house! Luke is a huge fan of the Vintage tractor show, they are starting to get lots of cool tractors and things coming out.

This one is some sort of belt driven corn pick-er off-er. It takes all the corn off of a corn cob and spits the cob out.




This one grinds corn meal







This was just funny

Luke found someone nice enough to let him sit on their tractor, this one was my favorite....it looks like it would be fun to play on

What a sweet brother huh?

Rainy day fun

Last week was SO nice! It rained every day! I love the rain and apparently so does Luke, just as long as it leaves some puddles to jump in! He loves taking the 'brella' out and I saw him holding it while he rode his bike.

























This is the man chair....lol....My boys Love their papa!








And papa loves to putbabies to sleep! (do you see Ryan likes Oreos?)

Sleepy Boys!

I'm thinkin'.....maybe I should put my boys to bed before they fall asleep?

Papa got a new horse!

I can't believe it, but Luke wouldn't go for ride! He used to be Grandpas best cowboy, but apparently Ryan has taken over that reign! Every time my da would come back in the yard I would reach out to Ryan to get him off the horse and he would shake his head 'no' so he and grandpa would take another ride! He LOVED it!

Mothers Day

I'm not sure how mothers day goes for other moms, but it is pretty much just a normal day around here...not that I mind! What would mothers day be if I wasn't the mommy? Luke made me the cutest little flowers in Primary and my mom got me some pretty tulips and had us over for dinner. And Caleb got me a sewing machine! YAY! I'm super excited, my other one was trashed when we had the fire, 2 years ago!

What A Birthday!

Today is Calebs great grandma Abby's brithday! She is 103 today! Isn't that amazing! She is quite the character too. She has always called Caleb 'cable' (no one knows why either) and she just has the funniest things to say. Happy birthday Grandma Abby!

When the weather gets NICE!

What I mean by nice is NO WIND! Yay! So we had family home evening at the park with, well, most of my family! It was tons of fun. 2 of my nephews are playing little league this year so ofcourse there was a baseball game (i'm using that term loosely). Orin was our master chef (using that term VERY loosely!)

Wills twins (ali and blake) and Egan..cute kids!

Orins wife Minette. Poor girl has super high blood sugar. How the heck is she supposed to get through the last 8 weeks without CHOCOLATE!

Don't mess with him when he is 'in the zone'

Rex was helping Ali (truth be told, she probably would have done better on her own j/k)

Scout o Rama!

Caleb and his dad Ron

Caleb is the assistant cub master in our ward, and my brother Will is the cubmaster...I know, you gotta watch both of them...

A couple of weekends ago we had the scout o rama. Caleb was working when they had the meeting so he didn't know what was going on but like 3 days before the event he learned that our ward didn't have a booth (some people just do the very minimum, you know what I mean?) Anyway, so Caleb called his mom who works for Arizona Game and Fish Department. She runs the Adobe Mountian Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (http://www.earthodysseyonline.com/ good article just done on her). At his facility they take in wildlife that have been injured and they either get them healthy enough to survive back in the wild and release them into their natural habitat. but there are some animals that do not get to go back, she has a couple of eagles that have injured wings or animals that people have cought and imprinted and she uses these animals to educate the public. It is really fun. I have got to see some crazy animals up close that I would never have seen otherwise.

Anyway, so we convinced her to come set up a booth for the Scout o Rama. It was soooooo freezing cold and the wind was HORRIBLE! But they were troopers and stuck it out and it was a Huge success! So thank you SOOOO much Sandy!

The last month....or so.

Today is our anniversary, 7 years! I can't believe it.

Ryan wakes up about 5 almost every morning and won't go back to sleep until I bring him to our bed, he loves to snuggle!

These boys LOVE baths! I got Ryan out of the bath tub and put him in the living room to go get pjs and a diaper and he hustled right into the bathroom (oh yeah, he started crawling a couple weeks ago, 10 1/2 months)

Our super sweet neighbor gave Luke a kite and he decided to hook it onto his bike and make it fly

I never thought I would ever see him in a suit, but he looks good huh?
