Camping at the Stake Property

August, 2011

 Mason would still rather catch grasshoppers.

 Another stream to play in.  I'm sensing some repetition here!

 Jacey, Sage, and Cash (neighbor kid) playing the piano.  I love how they're all perfectly synchronized!  There's some serious talent here!

The whole time Jacey was wearing the goggles she had her mouth wide open!  Clausterphobia?

"What did you get?  Wanna trade?"

Such nice sharing!

Some for you....

...some for me!

It's a race to see who gets the slide first!

More fun with Grandma Nina!

There's a field not too far from our house that has a lot of fun bike trails and jumps.  The boys have been wanting to go play there for a long time, so we went for a walk along a paved trail that goes past it and stopped there for a rest. 

Mason would rather catch grasshoppers - and he caught a lot of them!

Sliding home!

Idaho

On the way to Idaho we stopped and got some lunch.  The boys have so much fun with their cousin, Boston!

If it can be climbed, the boys will climb it!  Corbin is up above them somewhere!

We had a nice visit with Grandma Wilson.

Sage is showing off her new teeth.

Digging for dinasaur bones.

Okay, this was a lot more funny than it sounds.  I put sunscreen on Boston's face, and I knew he was sensitive about it getting into his eyes, so I made sure to stay well away from them, but he started crying that his eyes hurt.  The only thing that helped was putting a washcloth over them and holding them on with Owen's sunglasses.  He had this dramatic little whimper that had us all rolling with laughter!  I know, mean, huh!  It's one of those "you had to be there" moments.

Shaun was at a dog show in Farmington, so we met up with him and let the kids swim while we had a nice visit.

Best. Day. Ever!   Mom just finished her chemo, and her pet scan came back clear - no sign of cancer!  The doctors couldn't beleive their eyes - it was a miracle!  Now she has another pet scan in four months, so we're hoping for the best.

We threw a surprise party for her to celebrate.  Shaun even drove all the way up from Idaho on his
 anneversary for it!  Thanks Sarah!

We tricked Mom into thinking she was coming to Val's for a DoTerra meeting.  We told her Scott was coming because Don needed him to help him with something on his computer.

Okay, this picture of Mason swimming is rando, but it's cute so I'll leave it here:)

Water Fight!

Even Sage got in on the action!

Drying off on the warm sidewalk!

The girls love their Grandma Nina!

Let's Go Camping! 

July, 2011

It was so much fun to spend time with the Wells side of the family at a cabin in Malad, ID!

I just can't get over how cute Owen's smile is! 

All the kids wanted to do was play in the stream!

Love that cute smile!

...and those two little teeth!

Getting dirty is what Mason does best!

Sage is watching Uncle Spencer very closely so she can twirl her pretzel just like him!

Corbin was the king of bocce ball.

Nice throw Emily!

Playing in the rain!  There's a great video of this that I need to post.  The bike was stuck up on it's training wheels so Corbin could spray Boston and Mason.  They were getting soaked!

Loving Uncle Spencer!
