Shooting with the Big Boys

Everytime there are guns around this is how Trevin walks around.

Dad teaching gun safety and letting the kids each have a turn.

I need some serious pratice and some intense lessons!!

I was trying to shoot a paper plate up on the mountain. I don't think I came within 100 yards.

Don't ask me what I'm doing here. At least I am holding it right (I think)

His face sums it all up!! We had a blast.

How Many Faces?

I love to just sit and watch him!!!  He was pulling some pretty cute faces.  He has everyone wrapped around his little fingers. 

Pickleville and Snow

How Braylund spent his time over Memorial Day Weekend at Pickleville. He loves his swing!! It was so cold that we didn't dare bring him outside. (Day one)

Day two

Day three (He did get out to eat and take one trip outside but he didn't like it much)

This is what Krayden does all day long. He wakes up and asks for the keys. We don't see him until he needs food.

Trying to big one of the big boys, nevermind that it's pink and purple

Popcicles even though it's freezing

Grandma was painting and had her painting clothes on.

Love Trevin's outfit. He was covering his ears becuase the boys were shooting guns and he thought it was loud. It was pretty funny cuz they were just pellet guns that hardly made a sound.

The back bedroom got new bunk beds. The kids were a tad excited.

I said it was COLD. We woke up to SNOW!!!

The snow melted a few hours later but it was still freezing!!! We had a great time spending time with family. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for having us and sharing Pickleville with us.

Caught Red Handed

I was feeding Braylund in my room and I hear the sounds of a spill.  I was expecting Trevin to come in my room and tell me the news instead I hear silence.  I finish and walk out to find this.  He tried to use the broom but I guess it was just easier to eat the mess.

"I Trevin, I two, I a boy"

These are the words that Trevin says whenever you call him anything different than his name.  He is not a "stinker," "cool dude" "handsome boy" He is Trevin and he is two and he is a boy.

And he is right about all three.  His name is Trevin and he definitely acts like a two year old and is ALL BOY!!!

We live on a lot of hills and he zooms down them on his little bike going 100 MPH.  He has the scrapes and bruises to prove it.

He loves to jump....

off of EVERYTHING!!!

When you pick him up he wraps his arm all the around your neck

And I think he is a stinker, a cool dude and a handsome boy!!

Rock-a-Bye-Baby

Kynlee is the biggest help ever!!!  She can put Braylund in the swing, she can get him out of his bed, she plays with him, she can wrap him up like he likes, and she rocks him in the little kid rocking chair.  The love she has for her brothers' is amazing. 

What Summer is All About

Family and Shaved Ice.  And our family LOVES shaved ice.  I remember growing up and going to get a shaved ice with my family.  This will be a tradition that will carry on.  Thanks dad/papa for this shaved ice.  We had a good time!!

The 4th of July with a little taste of PARIDISE

I LOVE COUSINS!!!!  These two only see each other about once a year and you would never know it from the outside looking in.  Once we got there we never saw them separated.

Lizard catching

I was a little nervous (I hate lizards), but everyone had to get a kiss

Going for walks

More lizard catching.  The boys spent all their time finding and catching lizards

Becky had some crafts for the kids to do

We slept in the guest house which was perfect for us.  Once everyone went to bed we would come to the casita and watch a movie

Trying out the playground

This slide was crazy.  It wasn't even fun and it hurt all the way down.

The favorite part of the day

We went to New Mexico for the 4th of July to visit my Nana and Papa and Aunt Becky.  Their house is just a little taste of paradise.  There are porches surrounding the house so you can sit outside all day.  ( You just move from porch to porch with the sun).  We met my cousin, Sara, there along with her husband and cute little girl.  Kynlee and Layla played and played and sang Justin Beiber.  The boys played and played and caught lizards(with Jon's help).  The adults sat on the porches and relaxed and talked and relaxed some more.  It was the perfect vacation for everyone.

Happy 4th of July!!!
