September Happenings-2017

September always is a busy month.  Trying to get into school routines, a busy birthday month, and taking care of 3 boys is no easy task, but we made it and made memories along the way.

I told you September is a busy month.  The first day in and these boys are taking naps on the couch.

Celebrating all the September birthdays at moms house.  Casey, Mason, Mabel, Meg, Lin, mom, and Jared all have September birthdays.  Somehow Blake got into the entire bag of M&Ms and enjoyed eating them all.

Monday night shenanigans.  More naps, my boys, and watching Garrett fly his airplane at the park.

Casey's birthday is on September 5th.  We celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa out to dinner at Red Robin.  Then home to celebrate with his family with cake and ice cream. We sure are lucky to have Casey as the boy's dad.  Happy Birthday Casey, we love you!

Mason's 5 year check-ups with kindergarten shots and Blake's 1 year check-up.
Blake's 1 year stats:
Weight-17lbs (1%)
Height-29" (14th %)
Mason's 5 year stats:
Weight-38lbs (34th %)
Height- 42" (41st %)

Mason's first soccer game of the season.  It's so fun watching this little boy play.  

Mason's 5th birthday!  I can't believe this little boy is already 5 years old.  We celebrated yesterday by going to Hangtime with friends.  We celebrated today with donuts, soccer games, golf cart rides at Casey's work, then opening presents (Mason got a remote Control monster truck), and cake and ice cream.  We sure love this little 5 year old and we are so happy he is part of our family.

Tanner finished off the frosting from Mason's birthday cake.

Today Mason got to celebrate his birthday in his preschool class.   He took Cookies and Cream chocolate bars to share with his class.

Blake's first time eating spaghetti and he loved it!

It's time to tear out our huge tomato plant that didn't produce one red tomato.

The boys love to be swung in the basket by Casey, but it makes Casey a little dizzy.

Sunday best.

Mason is going to be Optimus Prime for Halloween and he couldn't be more excited about it.

Goofing around with Blakey Bear

For my mom's birthday we gave her family pictures.  We haven't had family pictures done in forever.  I love how they turned out.

And that's a wrap.  Another great month of memories.

August Happenings-2017

August here we come.  We kicked off the last month of summer with lots of fun, fun, and more fun.  Here is a little of what we were up to during the month of August.
Our sleeping little Blakey Bear

Mason and Tanner took their first round of swimming lessons at Casey's work.  Meghan is their swim teacher and she is awesome.  I'm so impressed to how far each of them have come in their swimming this summer.  We also did lots of swimming at Casey's pool this month.  The pool closes soon and we wanted to make sure we swam in it a lot before the end of summer.

Blake is always fun to take to the store and try hats on him.

The MTC (missionary training Center) added on some new buildings and opened it up to the public for tours.  It hadn't changed much since Casey was at the MTC getting ready to go to Samoa on his mission.  Myrn and Garrett and Ry and Meg came with us. We had fun listening to their mission stories as we toured the MTC.  We even got a picture of the famous missionary map.

Cute little Blake

On August 9th our little Blake turned 1.  He didn't seem too happy about turining1 and neither did I, but he's the cutest little guy and were extra grateful for this healthy boy who is part of our family.  We took Blake to Build a Bear and let him pick out a birthday bear.  Garrett and Blake share a birthday so it was fun to celebrate with grandma and grandpa and Myrn and Garrett.  Happy first birthday Blakie Bear, we love you!

I think this summer we wore Tanner right out.  I found him taking a lot of naps.

My boys.

Rainbows while driving

Amy invited us to Nickle City for Bud's birthday.  It was so much fun and the kids loved being with their best friends. 

We went to the Riverwoods and let the kids play in the splash pad.  Casey held Blake and let him play in the water.  Blake loved every minute of it and laughed and laughed.  Such fun memories. 

Blake smelling a stinky sock.

Park and popsicles with cousins.

Casey's Utah Open falls in the middle of August.  During the Utah Open Casey took us mini golfing.  The boys love it and its a great way to break up the 19 hour days that Casey works during the Utah Open.  

Mason started preschool.  His teacher is Mrs. Holly and he gets to go to school with his cousins Mabel and Ashley. It's going to be a great school year.

School starting officially means our summer is over.  We had a great summer and now were excited for Fall.
