One Day Trip to Payson

Our one day trips seem too be just so much fun, our trip to Payson didn't seem like it was on the right path. Our tire was low, we had to get gas, food, ice...ugh we left about one and a half hours late. We were off though and we were excited!! We found the trail with no problem...and we were off...on the wrong trail. We didn't make it far until we realized this so after redirecting ourselves we were off again!! The weather was so beautiful, the trees were so beautiful, the kids were full of so much energy and we were enjoying everything about the hike. We thought the only nature we were going to see was a cow grazing all alone along the trail. Then we stumbled across a black rattlesnake. It was nice enough to warn us that he was there and to watch out. I was a little dissapointed that the creek and falls were completely dry but the hike and time with the family was great. The snake was a good lesson to teach the kids and neat to see nature.

We were then off to Woods Canyon for some fishing. Matthew didn't realize that the water was there and jumped in to begin with. We even saw a bald eagle, that was so awesome. No fish but the eagle made it all worth it. We were all completely worn out and ready for the ride home.

Two Months Old Already!!

Who can believe Jonathon is already two months old? He is doing great and getting so big!! This is the outfit that he wore when he was born, he almost fits into it...maybe at his 3 month old photo shoot.

What Handsome Boys I Have

First of all, it is hot!! Maybe not so much hot, but very humid these last couple of weeks. We are doing good though and just wanted to share this beautiful picture with you all. I have to say that Bill and I are the luckiest parents in the whole world, we have some of the most handsome boys ever. They are all enjoying the swim weather.

Justice is done with summer school and is excited to start high school. Not only is he going to high school now, but he has also grown almost as tall as Bill over the summer as well.

Benjamin has mastered swimming under water without the floaties and asks probably a million questions a day. Today he was looking at a book and commented on how cute the girl was...he said "look at this beautiful girl mom, I will whistle at her...woohoo." I could go on with the funny things that come out of his mouth but I have to move on to the next one.

Matthew is a couple of inches shy of his brother and is growing up so fast. I believe he is trying to catch up with Benjamin. He just had his third birthday party and got some really fun things to do.

Jonathon is almost 10 pounds and is growing like crazy too. His colick seems to be getting a little better and he gives me at least one good smile every day. Bill is keeping busy at work with the horses and soon to be with the dogs and cats. I am keeping busy with the kids and I am not looking forward to starting work next week and school next month.
