Ward Summer Party

Our ward had a summer party last night.  It was so much fun, they had these huge slip-n-slides (they were actually old signs that they soaped up, they worked so good) and the kids had a blast.  I am going to miss everyone in our ward, but hopefully our next ward will be just as great.  





 
Boston and Kyson are good little buddies 


Beckem LOVES Sophie, they were so cute to watch together.  

Idaho Trip 2013

We went up to Idaho this past week for our yearly camping trip with the Mason side of the family.  This year  it was only Nana, Papa, Josh and Tate's family, Grandma and Grandpa and us for the first week.  It was still tons of fun though.  This first picture the boys were so excited to go camping, this was the morning we headed up there.  

 All kids got along so good and had so much fun playing together.  This is Jorun, Izzy, Beckem, Teg, Zander and Kyson
 Beckem's face was so dirty all week, we would wipe him off and clean him up and he was back into the dirt.  He loved it.  



 Zac played lots of baseball games with all the kids.
 There was a family of chipmunks in our camp and there were four babies that would come out and just let all the kids hold them.  I was afraid of them getting bit but luckily they never did.  
 The boys LOVED fishing every day.  The dredge ponds are the boys favorite place to fish.  It was raining one day and we pulled up and they were jumping out of the water like crazy.  Every time the boys threw their line in they caught a fish, they were loving it.  


 Tegan and Jorun had fun sliding down this rock hill


 One day we went on a hike up to Hellsroaring.  Josh said it was a nice family hike and it was only two miles so we headed up there.  This river was on the way, it was beautiful!! 





 We had to cross this "bridge" on our hike, that was kind of scary with all the kids but we made it.  
 And. . . after two miles and two and half hours we finally made it to the top.  It was a fun family event.  Diana even came with us, we were so proud of her. 

 This was what we hiked to, it was so pretty!!

 And of course, everywhere we go my cute boys always pick me flowers.  I took a picture because they always die so quick.  They were such pretty flowers they found for me.  My boys are so sweet to me!!  
 Kyson and Izzy are such good friends 

 Zac took Teg and Ky fishing one morning and this is what they got, they were so excited. 
  Look how beautiful this place is.  We drove up the road from our camp site to this old mine town.  It was so cool to see all the old things lying.  There is also a treasure box we found about eight years ago and we go up every year and look in it.  It's one of those boxes that you leave something and take something.  It's pretty fun to go see what's inside.  

 This old outhouse is up there, the boys were so excited to go the bathroom in it, but it did stink ha ha 
This was one of the cabins that we went and looked around at.  Amazing they are still standing.

This was our drive home, I guess staying up every night until midnight around the fire and playing all day wore them out.  Tegan slept pretty much the whole five hours home.  He was out. : )  It was a fun trip, but it's good to be home, now lets hope we can find a home to move to or else we will be homeless after the 16th : (

Tegan's 6 Years Old

This morning when Tegan woke up it was so cute, he came into my room with Kyson and said, "mom look how much taller I am today."  Then he said, hang on a sec and went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror and then came back into my room and said,"mom I am so much taller in the mirror today"  I love kids, he loves that he is growing up : )  



 Tegan chose to go to Get Air Trampoline Park for his birthday.  They had a blast.  Teg and Ky had a contests to see who could jump in the pit the furthest.  They are so funny.  After the tramp park Tegan had a make up game for T-ball so we went to his game, which he was so excited to get to play baseball on his birthday.  After the game we had cake and ice cream at the park.  It was so cute, when we were driving home he said, "Thanks mom and dad, this was the best birthday ever"  He is so cute!!   


 We got him this Angels hat.  He was so excited because he got this shirt from my mom and when he put it on he said, I look like a real baseball guy now.  I love it.  Tegan has always loved baseball and now he lives for baseball.   He is so good at it too.  He's our baseball boy : )  Happy birthday Tegan.  We love you!!
