Before the Summer turns to brown...

We have been trying to get our last summer activities in before it gets too cold. We went camping this weekend, it was a lot of fun! Jett is a regular camper but it was Jaide's first time. She did really well!! She liked it! And it was my first time in the new camper. It was nice, fun to have our own space to sleep in when we go up to Max and my moms Ranch.



Look at their smiles..so cute!!

Jaiden even liked the four wheeler.

Josie and Helmet also became best friends in the last weeks of summer..they will miss each other when Helmet goes back home.

Jaidens learning new things everyday! I love this age, so fun:)

Helmet stood and waited for Jaiden to drop some food, even a crumb will do!!:)

The community pool closed on Labor Day but it's just still too hot out. So we brought the good old blow up pool out, all it needed was a little duck tape and we were in business.

Jett thought it was so fun to go down the slide into the pool!! He loved it.

And of course we laughed, played and had fun!!!

Jett's Labor Day weekend at Nani's

Time flies when you are raising children. I cannot believe my little baby boy is old and independent enough to have sleepovers and play dates. Obviously he has only had sleepovers with his Nani and Grandma, this weekend he went to Nani's and stayed Saturday afternoon until Monday afternoon. Now I was not there so I am just relaying the information that I got out of my husband and my three year old:) And Kandis, a.k.a Nani, sent me the pictures. They had pizza, played outside in the sandbox..the awesome sandbox, went to the LDS church, went to Lum and Lo's, of course, flew in a HELICOPTER, and even got to meet the Jazz bear, which being the die hard Jazz fan I am I was Jealous!:) I am sure I left a bunch of stuff out Kandis, sorry, but I do know Jett had a blast at your house!! He always makes Jon and I fold our arms and say the dinner prayer now, which I know he learned at your house, it is really cute actually:) And he keeps saying to me he wants to go home, he never said that before so I think he means your house..lol. Thank you again for taking him!!! I missed my little man but it was also nice to have a break!:)

I have never in my life seen two little boys get along as well as Maddox and Jett do, they very rarely argue or fight! They are pretty good little buddies! This is my favorite picture, both sound asleep in there little sleeping bags:) Too cute!!

Golfing Date

We love to go golfing, but it is so hard to take the kids too, so when my mom offered to watch them while we went of course we jumped at the chance! Jon and I have a lot of fun when it is just the two of us, well I guess it wasn't just the two of us we got paired up with two other guys. But we still had tons of fun!! Plus the guys we played with weren't very good so that made me happy, haha I think Jon needed more of a challenge! But who can beat Jon anyways? Not very many people in my opinion:) It's fun to go on a date when most of your time is consumed by little kids, it's nice to reconnect with each other without the kids there. I love Jon very much and I am thankful to have such a wonderful husband!:)

Adventures in dogsitting, a.k.a let the dog in let the dog out

My poor brother and sis in law have had hard times lately. To make a long story short, they sold their old house, had a new one all lined up, and only had a week layover before they could move in. So they moved into my moms house and we offered to take Helmet the dog here. I figured we already have 3 dogs, whats one more? Well the week layover turned out to be a lot longer than they hoped for! The previous owner of the new house was cleaning behind the fridge and somehow disconnected the water line to the freezer and ended up flooding the whole house! It's really sad for them but we all have really enjoyed having Helmet here, especially me being the animal lover I am, it will be really hard to give him back!! Hes been a good dog! This post is mainly for Helmets parents because I know they miss him and probably wonder what he has been up to, so here is a little bit of the good times I have captured:)

Laundry Basket!

Both of our kids like to play in the laundry basket, but this is the first time they got in there together, well I put Jaiden in there while I was folding her clothes, and I turn around and Jett was in there too! They are just starting to play together, and they play really well together! They are so cute and so much fun!! I love watching them interact, it is one of the best things in life!!:)

Jon and Jett's camping trip

Jon had his yearly week vacation last week and he really wanted to take Jett camping, just the two of them. I was really proud of Jon for doing this, he is not a huge camper, he doesn't know a whole lot about it. So for him to go out and do something he doesn't know much about is pretty impressive. They went up to Strawberry and stayed Monday and Tuesday night. Jon did a great job!! Jett LOVES to be outdoors so I know he had a blast. Jaide and I stayed home so I don't really know the details of the boys only camping trip:) But here are the pictures and some self explanatory video!! Jon must have enjoyed it because he and Jett were only home for one day, then they were back up the mountain to Max and my mom's ranch. Jaiden and I enjoyed the break but sure missed those boys!!! I am thinking next year will be a little bit easier for all four of us to go, it's hard with a baby, but I am happy the boys got to go. I can tell they bonded quite a bit:)

This kid is obsessed with mice, don't ask me why...?? He asked me about a million times if I packed his mouse:)

Josh and Natalie's Wedding
