Fun Day Outside

Last weekend it was such a nice day, that after we ran our errands, the boys wanted to ride the Jeep. We haven't let them play with the Jeep for a while, so we deicded to get it out for them. They had a lot of fun and Garett had his first ride on it.


Halloween 2015 (So Far)

We have the boys costumes for Halloween this year, and they are all really excited. They ask all the time if they can wear them. We got Pumpkins from the Pumpkin Patch that Greyson went to for his Preschool Field Trip, but they weren't very good ones and have already gone bad, so we will have to go this weekend and pick some more.  Gavin is going to be Lightning McQueen, Greyson will be a Dinosaur/Dragon and Garett is going as a Monkey!



We had a make a countdown chain to Halloween because the boys have been so anxious for it to get here. Don't worry, it has already been torn down and destroyed, so now we are counting down days by the calendar.



FHE Prayer Pretzels

The boys have been struggling with staying reverent during prayers, so we had a FHE on Prayers and how we need to act when praying. We made these Pretzels and called them Prayer Pretzels. I was super excited they turned out because when I have tried in the past to make bread, it hasn't worked out, and this time it did! They tasted amazing and the boys loved the lesson and have been doing better.




Bed Head

We just wake up like this! (Until we get haircuts!)


Uncle Ben

We got a visit from Uncle Ben on Conference Weekend! It is always so fun to see family we haven't seen in awhile!

Humvee

On Sunday, Mike ran with Gavin and Greyson to Camp Williams to drop off some Navy books. When they got there, some of his Navy buddies just pulled up on the Humvee so the boys got to sit in it. They loved it!






Greyson's Preschool Field Trip - Fire Station

Last week, Greyson learned Stop, Drop, and Roll at preschool, so it is only fitting that this week they took their first field trip to the Fire Station. He did so much more this year then he did last year. He was in the class picture and even held the fire hose. He sat in the fire truck and loved the field trip!










He Sleeps

I don't know what it is about a sleeping baby that I just want to take lots of pictures of, but it is pretty cute!

After Surgery, fell asleep on the couch
Sleeping really cutely

Garett's Surgery

Garett has been having a hard time with his circumcision since he was about 9 months old. It would always roll to his fat pouch and was trying to reattach itself. So in August we went to a Pediatric Urologist and he said that it needed to be surgically redone so that it doesn't get infected in the future, and that now is the best time to do it.

So on September 10th I took him to Primary Children's Medical Center in Riverton and we got it done. It was about a 20 minute procedure and I was only away from him for about 45 minutes total, but it is now fixed and he is doing great. He was such a good boy and we were only at the Hospital for total of 3 and a half hours. And the best part of the recovery is that he gets baths everyday!

Lots of Bathing, which he LOVES!

Aquarium

The boys have been asking for months when we can go to the Aquarium. We haven't been to the new one and the last time we went was when Greyson turned one. So we told them we would go the Saturday before Labor day, and finally the day was here. We went to the Aquarium, and it was a lot of fun. Greyson loved the Sharks, and Gavin loved the Penguins, and Garett just liked being out of the house :)  We had a lot of fun on one of our last adventures before Mike leaves.
