Silver Lake Flats

We went to Silver Lake Flats and roasted hot dogs...the kids had a blast throwing rocks in the stream, chasing each other, eating, and hiking through the tall grasses. I love Utah, the mountains and lakes..... there is so much to do and enjoy. We are truly blessed to have all this in our backyard.

Brigham threw rocks in the stream most of the night

Gotta have the cruiser shot

What big eyes you have Tig...you are so cute!

Who can help me build a fire?

The boys really liked being able to put sticks in the fire. They liked to watch them burn. I'm sure someday they'll be great scouts.

Rebecca is always so dang cute.

Love the happy smirk

kids in their element

Cameron and James got to roast their own hot dog

I love how all the kids crowded in the love seat...it worked great!

Had to end the night with smores. I love these summer nights.

NBA FINALS

We watched the NBA Finals on the deck. We love summer, hanging out, staying up late, and partying.

Gotta love the outfit. Cameron was ready for bed but to protect his little feet he put his church socks and shoes on. He showed us how he could hop around on one foot.

James thanks for cleaning up buddy

Cameron and Becca love to be silly

Blue Acrylic Paint

Cameron and Brigham found some acrylic paint in my office. They were able to get the lid off even though it still had the safety seal on. It was all over the their clothes, carpet and on the couch. I guess it could have been worse. Isn't it great that kids have so much fun and no worries....what a wonderful world."sorry mom"

Good bye clothes

blue handprints = blue water

Grandpa's Irrigating

We never knew irragating could be so fun!


Ahhhhh....nothing better than a mud bath

I feel rejuvenated

Who wants to start a water fight?

"You can't see me I'm hiding"

Farmer Tig taking care of the tree

How many hoses does grandpa have.....1....2....3....4...

Don't mess with the big boys

Nate pedals down a furrow....don't get stuck.

MUD

"punkin got me dirty"

Cameron loves to play in the mud and with Brigham...too bad the mud always ends up on Brigham.

Poppy Seed Dressing

Last Sunday Darin found the boys under the kitchen table with these....two bottles, one for each, with a straw. They were getting their own lunch. Yum poppy seed dressing. "Want sum"

Breakfast

I woke up to this...Cameron got breakfast for the both of them...

well at least he shared.

Pretty Butterfly

Yes, I'm just getting back to blogging...I know, I'm such a slacker!!! The boys have enjoyed this summer tremendously by playing with cousins, camping, parties, and loving the mud and sand. To start the summer off Cameron's Sunbeam teacher, Juanita Nield, took us up to the cemetery by our house to find caterpillars. We got one tiny caterpillar and an egg. The boys were so excited. I'm sorry to say that we didn't capture every tiny event from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. Next summer I will. It was a lot of fun and so amazing! I can't believe such a pretty butterfly can come from a stinky, creepy, crawly caterpillar.
