Wheeler Farm with Grandma and Grandpa

Erics parents came for the weekend and stayed with us. They went to the BYU game, which is GREAT they won! We took the kids to wheeler farm. I love having it so close...and free.








Kyle has become quite the big helper in the kitchen.

Timpanogos Caves and Field Trip

Mount Timpanogas Cave hike was way fun. My toosh is paying for it today but it was so beautiful and the weather was great. Jack was able to walk the entire way down but going up we carried them on our shoulders. They loved how dark it was in the caves and they got to each carry their own flash light. We went with the Wetsel family which was great.



We had our first Field Trip for Jacks Joy School. We took the kids to a place called "This is the Place Monument". It was so fun and there was so much to do. Train rides, pony rides, park area, we went into some old building likes schools and banks. Its a Mormon monument so they got to learn about Pioneers.

Eating blueberries

My kids love to snack on blueberries. When I looked over at Jack today this is how he was eating them. I asked him why and he said he didn't like getting his hands dirty.Lately he has been so obsessed with asking me to wipe his hands and face. Neat freak? Wonder where he got that from...
He had no idea how dirty his face was getting because he was so focused on his hands.
Kyle is usually the messier one but you cant tell from this picture.
Grandma Heideman sent the boys these pictures of some animals in the mail. They were so excited to open them!

Having young kids

These are things that I love 90% of the time about having young kids. Seriously, I know one day I will really miss these days.

-Having a dirty face. Due to a milk mustache or just feeding themselves.
-Going downstairs on their bums. Takes forever but is so adorable.
-Having toys all over my house. I have to say I love to see a ball in the bathroom or cars lined up on the kitchen floor. I have found toys in my oven and my toaster before I go to use them. Now I always check before using an appliance.
-Holding thier hands while crossing a street.
-I love when they find a new toy they have to cart it around with them all day, wherever they go.
-How they think they need to watch TV 6 inches from the screen.
-I love to see mis-matched outfits because they insisted on dressing themselves that day.
-I love how they insist on doing everything that you are...dishes, cooking, cleaning, brushing hair ect.
-I love how they have to have a bandaid for everything.
-I love when they sing loud in church.
-I love when there eyes go big and they laugh after they just tooted...they think its funny.

Cottonwood Canyon

Heidi and Jay(Erics sister and her boyfriend)came up for the weekend. We went to Cottonwood Canyon and built a fire, had hotdogs and roasted marshmellos. The weather was great and the kids had a good time getting really dirty.

Airplanes

Something fun to do with two boys when you have a second floor..fly paper airplanes off the deck.

Labor Day and Antelope Island

Crazy life.Lovin it.

Well, we survived moving to SLC. I will never do it again. I always say that after a move. Its one of those things that you have to wait a long time to forget whats its like to agree to doing it. We love the area! Erics job is going good and he likes it. The boys are getting adjusted as well and we have met some of our neighbors that have kids my kids age. I decided to let Jack and kyle sleep in the same room so they wouldn't be to scared of a new place. They are loving it. I am not, two hours after I put them down I can still hear jumping and singing. I know it wont be to long before they start getting out of bed and sneaking food at night. Which is what I did with my sisters and it was fun.
The day after we moved in we drove to Boise to my best friends wedding. I have known Christy since I was 11, she is like a sister. It was great to be apart of her sealing and to see everyone. The night before she got married we(her and the bridesmaids)went to Chilis. My stomach hurt that night from laughing so hard. Good times.
We have made it back home, unpacked and are getting settled. Life is good.




Jack took these pictures while we were at the park. He loves to play with the camera.


This was after the cleaning party that I had at my house. Dont be fooled, these kids were just there for the lunch...they were no help!
While doing some packing the boys came riding in on Erics skateboard on thier bellys. It was so cute. To bad the picture is blurry.
