End of Summer

Since I apparently was too busy to blog the last few weeks of summer, I have decided to just post some pictures. We really did have an awesome summer. It was indeed difficult for me to go back to work but at least I know my boys are still in good hands.

What would the final days of summer be without a trip to the pool?

A game of hide and seek at "the new house"

Plenty of naps... while Daddy worked hard.
We went to Old Navy to get Jared some new jeans. After we took this picture Jared and I walked away and we heard Cayden screaming while he walked around with his head stuck in the cut out.

We took a trip to a children's museum with Kimmy's daycare.

Cayden LOVED the "wind room" They even had a little bank...

a play place for Jake... and a pirate ship.

Then it was back to "the new house" to work.
Cayden and Spencer liked the ladder.
Jacob turned 8 months old.

And our last big summer hurrah was our Annual Stake Fair. (We were all not feeling well but we had cabin fever and decided to go anyway.)

Cayden went "fishing"

Bouncing

And Sliding.

We were sad that our summer had to come to an end but we knew there was no stopping it. We are just thankful for the time we had to spend together and look forward to some Fall fun.

Summer Catch Up

What a fun summer we have been having. The boys have kept me pretty busy so it has been hard to find a minute to update the blog. But they are both content without me for a minute so I decided to catch up. However it will be done with pictures. ; )

Jacob LOVES to eat. I'm sure you couldn't tell by looking at him.

We love spending time at the Spray Park. (ITS AWESOME!)

Cayden loves when we go to SAM'S because he gets to sit in the cart with Jake.

I was worried when he was quiet and I couldn't find him. If this is his way of getting into that "quiet trouble" that parents worry about I think I can handle it.

We have spent a lot of time at my parents new house. The boys have been remodeling to build a master suite on the main floor for my grandparents.

My cousin came to visit and we took her bowling. Cayden LOVES bowling. I bowled holding Jacob most of the time and bowled a turkey. I had 5 strikes during the game. He was my good luck charm.

After his game of bowling he wanted to drive the race car.

Our little red car died on us and Jared has been trying to diagnose the problem, Cayden has been a big helper and getting quite dirty in the process.
I love taking pictures of the boys when they are sleeping. They always sleep in the strangest positions. In the picture I am standing behind the couch. His feet are on the back of the couch.
Jacob is becoming quite the little crawler and enjoys following me around the house.

If you can't tell, we are having a great summer. I LOVE being home with the boys and look forward to the day when I can finally be a stay at home mom. I love just hanging out with them. I'm getting really good at building marble towers and shooting hoops. Cayden and I are trying to find ways to include Jacob in our play time because he wants to join in all the time now. No more wallflower time for him. I'll be sad to go back to work but I still have time before then to get more play time in. I hope everyone else is enjoying their summer!

I want to wish a Happy Happy Birthday to my Loving husband. His birthday was yesterday and he allowed me to go on vacation for the weekend so I wasn't able to be with him for his special day.Thank you for being the man that you are. I am so lucky to have you forever. I love you!!!! xoxoxo

Girl's Weekend

What a weekend!!! I just got back from four days in the San Juan Islands with the Linton girls. It was a part of the country I hadn't seen before and I was very excited. There wasn't a lot of "exciting" things to do on the island but we had a great time spending time with each other. We drove around the island and stopped every chance we could to see what was available explore. We did a lot of walking. We visited the farmers market and went shopping at the shops in town. And we frolicked in the lavender fields. But my favorite part was the girl talk in the evenings before bed. It was a beautiful weekend spent in a beautiful place with beautiful people. I can't wait until the next Linton Girls Weekend. Thanks to everyone for making the weekend possible and such a success! Love you girls.

Me and Ashley on the front of the ferry going to Friday Harbor.

(We had to take a ferry to get to the islands)

Our ferry almost hit this moronic sail boat.

This was our home away from home for the weekend. We were right across the street from the Lavender Farm fields.

Lime Kiln- What a beautiful spot on the water!

One of my many frolicking moments.

The Linton girls (minus mom and Jenny)
I LOVED the rolls of hay. The full field was really a beautiful sight.


This pond/lake was down the street from our vacation home.
Our last night in the San Juan Islands.

A very SPECIAL thanks to my wonderful husband for staying home with the boys for the weekend so I could go and have a fun and relaxing time. You rock Jared!

Florida in Pictures

So I got to take the boys to Florida for pretty much the entire month of June. We went down to help pack up my grandparents house so they can move to Denver. We are so excited they are finally coming. Our trip was a vacation but we worked hard too. Instead of writing about our time there I decided to just do A LOT of pictures and a few videos. Enjoy!!!

The Trip began with laughter...

Then a game of hide and seek

A nap here and there.

Then I cut off my hair! (I donated it to Locks of Love in support of my big bro.)

6 month old Jakey Boy. (Who is almost crawling!)

Cayden helped " G Jeannie" set her hair.

Chilled with Uncle Mikey.

Watched Uncle Kerry pretend to eat a 10 yr old rat found in the garage under the table saw.

Super cool Grandmommy sporting Timmy's shades.

LOTS OF SWIMMING!!!


What would Florida be without a trip to the beach?

Nap in the car on the way back from the beach.

Playing with cars and watching the World Cup during our 3 hr layover in NC.

It was such a wonderful trip. I'm so glad that Jared was able to join us for the last few days. It was a great way to say goodbye to my home town. I hope that we will go back and visit someday. I must say though that it is nice to be home.
