Treehouse Musem

To keep my active two little boys occupied, I took them to the Children's Museum. The alternative was to stay at home and let them fight and beg to watch more tv. This was definately more fun.


There were some new things that they didn't have last year.

Craft time was great! It is a little wierd that Kyle is old enough to sit and do a craft without my assistance.

And Grandma Bonnie came, which they boys loved. I loved having help when Kyle went one direction and Blake another.




These two little people get bigger and bigger all the time. Sometimes it is strange to think that they will be big enough to not want to do things with me. In the meantime, I am trying to really enjoy each phase.

It's Definately Summer

Around here, July is all about grasshoppers and raspberries. You can't walk through the yard without grasshoppers jumping all over the place. At the boys insistence, I have been catching some for them.





It seems like the raspberries are ready earlier this year. But the boys aren't complaining.

Independence Day Weekend

4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love watching the fireworks. We headed up to Star Valley and let the kids have some fun. Traditionally, Star Valley hosts a small town parade for the 4th. Grandpa Joe pulled all the grandkids through the parade in his tractor.




Brian sat in the back and launched tootsie rolls and unsuspecting onlookers. He beaned a few friends and relatives from his hometown.





Brian and his dad, Joe.




After the parade we went to Aunt Helen's. Ever creative, she always has something fun to keep the kids occupied.


After painting rocks, the kids were given squirt guns. Can you guess what Brian is encouraging Blake to do? Yes, seconds later Blake squirted me with water. Luckily, no camera's were hurt during this photo shoot.

Unfortunately our weekend was cut short because Kyle wasn't feeling well. But we did have fireworks before we left. Getting a good picture of kids watching fireworks is a difficult task, one that is beyond my camera. So I'll just say the evenings festivities were very fun.
