Good Greif!

My gosh! It sure takes me a while to update my blog. I sure need to do it more often though so that way I don't spend so long on the internet in one day!!!! Anyway, enjoy the update!

McKenna

This is my new neice! She is so cute! My brother and his wife are so cute as new parents!

Swings and Trampolines!

Swings and Trampolines are super fun if you're a kid! I guess they are fun if you aren't a kid too! Anyhue, Hayden loves playing at the playground and it is even more fun when his grandpa and great-grandpa comes with him to push him in the swing. Tate got to swing and talk with Great-Grandpa!

Later that day Great-Grandma got out the small trampoline. What fun! Especially for parents who are behind the lense of a camera!

Snowcone's

We have a little four wheeler in town that comes around with a snowcone maker on the back with different flavors. Well I broke down and paid a whopping two dollars and bought each of the boys a snowcone! I think it was the best two dollar investment I ever made.

Children should be heard and not seen!

Hayden got a Basketball hoop from my grandparents for his birthday! Grandparents are great aren't they? They just spoil the heck out of all generations of grandkids! Anyhue, Hayden loved the box just about as much as the basketball hoop. It's too bad we had to throw it away the next garbage day.

Enjoy this funny video of Hayden!

Hayden is 3!

Hayden turned three at the end of July! I am so proud of my cute little guy! He is the best big brother and the best three year old I know of!It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!

Yum! Birthday cupcakes and Tuna Salad! Hayden's favorite!

Cute Blankie!

I made this blanket for my Sister-in-Law Amber when she had her cute little girl Bree!

Goin' Campin'

We went camping over the 4th of July! I know it is so sad that I haven't published a post for two months almost. Anyhue, Hayden absolutely loves camping. Everytime he see's my mom and dad he asks them when they are going to take him camping again. He is so cute! He also loves Butch! Butch is about the only dog that he likes though. I think it is because Butch is super old and doesn't charge him because he is a kid. You who are parents probably know how much dogs like kids! Butch likes Hayden too just like any dog!

Camping was really fun! I am an outdoorsy person. I love to go fishing and sleep in a tent. Hunting I can do without. The only time I like to shoot wildlife is with my camera. I love being outside in God's great creation! It makes me feel so much closer to my family and my maker.

Tate wasn't sure to think about the whole camping experience. I think he liked being outside but he didn't nap well because it was usually too hot in the tent and the trailer was too busy. I almost made him a bed in the car and rolled down all the windows so he could sleep but then the car became busy because Hayden wanted to watch movies there with our portable DVD player. Besides that, I think I would have preferred if the car was parked in the shade.

Hayden also got to ride on my parent's ATV with my dad and Reuben. He just thinks camping is the greatest.

Tongue Clickin' Tate

Tate likes to click his tongue now! He thinks he is communicating with us. It is so cute and we just love it.

The Giggler!

Tate was on the floor so I started tickling him with my toe! He just started giggling! It was so fun and cute! Then Hayden joined him on the floor so it made it that much more fun!

Still our favorite game!

Tate still loves this game! Everytime we play it he just laughs. It is so fun!

Shriner's Hospital

We had to take Tate to Shriner's again at the end of June. It was so nice not having to drive up that hill in snow! Everything went well. The doctor said that we didn't need to bring him back until December and that his feet look great! If you want to learn more about what his feet looked like look in my blog under the labels Shriner's Hospital or google it! It is really interesting to learn about! Also, if any of you have problems like we had with Tate, I highly reccomend Shriner's! We haven't paid a single bill! It is the best charity hospital and the doctor's are amazing! I have been super happy with the care my little guy has recieved.

Daddy! Can you read to me?

The boys just love having Reuben read to them! It is so cute to watch him read stories to the boys! I am so glad that I have a husband who is in my opinion the greatest dad there is! The boys just love him! I hope you can see why!

Lights, Camera, Action!

Tate sure likes the camera! Reuben was videoing him because he was being so happy! Tate became super curious about the camera string! It was so cute! Enjoy!
