Summer Fun!

This is what people who don't have swimming pools do in the summer!
We turn on the sprinkler in the horses round pen and let the boys get muddy and wet, hose them down and stick 'em in the bath. They LOVE it!
Marshall has had his share of dirt - What is it with kids and putting dirt in their mouths?!

Oh to be a kid again!

Indoor Playground

We got to check out an indoor playground last week and the boys had fun running & jumping on the trampoline, hula hooping and climbing all over the bouncy slide thing. I was loving how cool it was! Marshall loved crawling/walking on the gymnastic pads, way more comfortable than our tile floors I'm sure.
Burkley loved trying the hula hoop and actually got it going a time or two!
Once Burkley got the hang of how to climb up to the slide he did it over and over and had a ball.

Catching Up....

Since our outdoor activities are limited due to the lovely heat we pitched Burkley's tent in the family room. This provided days of entertainment! Can you tell that Marshall is a trouble maker?

This is our new puppy Roscoe. He is a Jack Russell Terrier and Kenny said we just had to have him to help with the ground squirrels and gofers in the backyard.

This is how Marshall likes to enjoy the puppy - from afar!

Or we get this! Roscoe loves to jump on and nip at his ears!


This dog has so much energy! When the boys are ready for a break they climb up on the couch where Roscoe can't reach - YET!

4th of July in Heber! I can't believe this AWESOME weather is only 2 1/2 hrs away from the valley! The thunder clouds rolled in every afternoon and gave us a little rain. So fun! We spent most of the trip on the porch where the kids played and swang.

The best Babysitter!
Marshall is such a happy boy - he does this grin where he scrunches up his nose and shows his little buck teeth. He is walking more and more every day.

Not more than 20 mins. before we left to come home did Burkley have a head-on with a tree in the yard! Poor kid - I heard it and it must of hurt! He wasn't very happy on the ride home especially because Marshall tries to steal his choo choo blanket every chance he gets! It's so funny that such a little guy could cause so much trouble - Kenny and I were cracking up!

Ahhhhhhh the sound of silence! It's rare and precious.

Krispy Kreme anyone?

We celebrated Grandpa Hunt's birthday yesterday by seeing the new Disney movie "UP" and enjoying some fresh doughnuts at Krispy Kreme! The movie was soooo cute and Burkley did suprisingly well as long as I supplied him with dumb dumb suckers throughout the whole movie.
He loved that he got a hat

Loved being with all his cousins

And loved watching the doughnuts being made




Happy Birthday Marshall!

My baby turned one on Thursday and I can't believe how fast it went by! He is such a sweet boy and I can't imagine my life without him.
Sleeping babies are so precious
Big brother loving him
That face just makes me smile!

Birthday waffles!
He didn't even hesitate
Opening his new puzzle
And Burkley claiming the puzzle as his own!

Memorial Day fun~!

Nothing says Memorial Day like a pool party! The smell of barbeque and sunscreen and kids splashing and screaming! However this is a day to be thankful for our freedoms and to those who fought and continue to fight for our county. I am extremely grateful for those who have given up time with their own families to fight to keep mine safe. Especially to those who paid the biggest price and didn't get to return to our great nation. This is something that I will try to remember often and not take for granted because it is why America is the home of the free.

Playdate at the pool!

We met for some fun at the pool last week and it was a great day for it!

Marshall LOVES the water - whether in the pool, bathtub or kitchen sink, the kid is a splasher!
