Where are Josh & Matt?

So as I look through the blog there are not many photos or entries of the boys of late. Why is this? I have so many photos of things that Cait and Ryan are doing, or getting into, but where are Josh and Matt.....oh that's right... It is summer. Josh sleeps in as long as he possibly can. Then when he gets up him and Matt try to play video games all day long, or hide from me when it is chore time!!!! So there aren't any photos of that, oh, BUTT there might be one. Ryan escaped from the tub yesterday morning to watch the boys play WII...... How cute are baby bums?

Lavendar days in Utah

Josh & Matt

We had a great time visiting family in Utah this summer. One of the things we did was to head over to the Lavendar festival in Mona. This kids had a great time roaming through the lavendar. It was similar to a small renasaince fair. They had old fashioned rides, animals, pony rides, and of course great fried food. We did try some things like lavendar ice cream. Wasn't our fave, a little too strong. And lavendar lemonade. That was good. Any who the kids had a great time. We even saw a zedonk for the first time, a mix between a donkey and a zebra!

Cait, Mckenna & Lil Mo (matt mason)

How Beautiful are those Utah Mountains in the back ground!!!!

Cait got to meet the Fairies. How cool is that!!!!

Mudslide Cookies

I am in the kitchen alot these days creating new cookie recipes, and Ryan really likes to help, especially with clean up!!! If he would just stay in the kitchen. He is so fast, he'll get off the chair and make a break for it. Then we have cookie dough fingerprints everywhere. I am not complaining. I wouldn't trade this cute little cookie monster for anything.

Curlers

I wish I was this cute in curlers!

Dressing Myself

Caitlin is all girl. She has discovered that she really likes to pick out her own clothes. Since we never really go anywhere, this is not a problem. Every morning she usually comes in wearing a church dress. I can usually talk her out of those, but that just means she gets a little bit more creative with what she will choose to wear that day. This week, she really fancies her tutu and any shirt and boots seem to match!!! My favorite...her cape that she wears and flies around the house in. She is usually wearing a bright pink and orange hat too...can't locate a pic of that.

Dirt, Frogs & Otter Pops

Caitlin LOVES to catch frogs, lizards, bugs, whatever she can find. She desparately wants a pet of her own. So everyday she is out back on a quest to find another pet to love. The problem is she tends to over 'love' the animals she finds. They are often dead the next day from her tender loving care. I am convinced only a huge dog could hold up to her lovin! Here she is with her frog, which only lasted a day. The next morning she informed me that he was 'cold' (dead stiff) so she had put him back in the bushes to warm up. Ryan loves to go out back with Cait and catch stuff, or chase the wild bunny that lives in our bushes. He is a boy. He loves to throw rocks, and of course play in the dirt. We have tons of dirt and gravel for him to play in. But his favorite dirt comes from my flower pots. Why stop at the dirt? He has pulled all the leaves off the flowers, and then uprooted the whole plant. My poor flowers!!!!!

Computer time with Cait

Caitlin loves to play nickjr on the computer. On this day she was really into wearing headphones so that she could hear better. I got a cute picture of Ryan from 'behind' watching Cait play a Dora game.

Slippery little sucker!

My nephew Tytan (jess's little guy) is so stinkin cute. Jess and I were busy elsewhere in the house, when someone discovered Tytan in the bathroom, with a bottle of Lotion. Now how can you get mad?

Visitors in May

Jessica and Becky came to visit us in May. We had a really good time. With 9 kids running around it was crazy! Jess and I still had time to design a few cookies while the kids played. They really enjoyed swimming in the jacuzzi and eating otter pops!
