I don't abuse my children

However, I am worried that strangers passing by might think differently. Got to love little boys...always something to climb or run into!

Busy, busy busy....

My baby boy is getting bigger. Today was a big day for him. He has been talking for months about starting school. Well today was the day (preschool of course). He was so excited he could hardly stand still, not that unusual but more than normal! He has a great teacher loved his little classroom. When they asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up he said an alligator (I think he was confused and thought what he wanted to be for Halloween!)

My two little guys are getting bigger they are so much fun and love each other, they play pretty cute together which make me so happy! Thought I would post a few pics to update everyone what we have been up to. I have been an awful blogger!

Chris is back in school and we don't see if that often he has been really busy this year but we decided to do a little getaway! We went to bike the Hiawatha trail it is in Montana kind of in the middle of nowhere but it is beautiful. You bike the old railway trail there are tons of tunnels and trellises. It is fifteen miles and one of the tunnels is a 2 mile stretch. The headlamps and flash lights still were not bright enough at times and you felt like you were ridding in the dark hoping you wouldn't crash into the side of the wall or hit a big pothole.

The views were amazing. There were beautiful streams and waterfalls. It seriously is one of the coolest things I have done living in the northwest if your ever in this area definitely something to do.

This was how the boys were by the end of the 15 mile ride. I couldn't believe Beckham could sleep hunched over like that it was so bumpy!

This is on one of the bridges with a tunnel behind us.

In August we were able to go up to the mountains of AZ while we were there and visit with my grandpa. He and his wife run a camp for handicapped kids, band camps, church camps ect. It was a neat place and fun to see my grandpa.

They had a 1940's firetruck with real lights and siren my boys could have spent days playing on this truck.

Even Beckham would get mad when we would have to go back to our cabin. He had to fight Kaden for a chance to drive the truck.

More things to drive...if it wasn't a firetruck it was a tractor, lawn mower or dune buggy. My boys were in heaven playing with all the big boy toys and in the dirt!

We had such a fun summer and we are sad to see it go! Since Chris was working a 9-5 job we felt like we had a lot of time to see and hang out with him. We enjoyed the Arizona heat (I did anyway!) and made lots of new friends. Here is Kaden with his friend Ellie! We miss our time in AZ...thanks again Bingham's for making it so much fun you guys are great!

Beckham was a little fish he loved the pool and playing outside even though it was over 100 degrees and sometimes in the triple digits!

Seattle...

I have been trying to upload and organize all my pictures it has been quite the task. I came across our pictures of our trip to Seattle. Anyone who hasn't been there needs to go it is so much fun & there is SOOO much to see and do. The Aquarium was fun, but I must admit it was a little disappointing after visiting the Newport, OR Aquarium.

They did have fun exhibits where you could touch all the different sealife. It was octopus week when we went so they had some big Octupus which were cool to see swimming around.

The sight and shopping were fabulous. We had fun just wandering around the city and seeing the skyline. Our hotel was within walking to everything so we did a lot of walking.

The space needle...It was too late and really foggy to go up inside by the time we made it there but it was cool to see, maybe next time!

I was so excited to see pikes market and it was nothing what I thought it would be. I thought there would be fish being thrown all around and yelling. It was hectic busy and there were lots of cool little stands to buy just about everything...it was like a big fish farmers market.

We got the fish, chips and chowder at Jacks...yummmmy! We had a great time! I keep trying to convice Chris that we should drive up to Vancouver B.C. and stop in Seattle so we can do it all again. We have got to go and see it all while we close and before we are are done with school, because then who knows where we will be?

Beckham's Birthday

So we waited to celebrate Beck's birthday until Chris came to visit over the 4th of July! We had a lot of fun we did the annual trip to pineview to go boating. Beck had two birthdays and everybirthday that Beck had Kaden thought he needed to have. (I think Kaden ended up having 3 birthdays, fitting I guess since he just turned 3). We had cake and icecream and opened gifts while camping with my family. I can't believe my baby is one already, it is sad how fast they change and get big.

Giveaway...

I never post about these giveaways. But last week a lot of blogs gave the silhouette machine away. I was out of town and didn't see the posts. I was totally bummed because it looks much better than the cricut and has tons of functions and options. I was checking it out tonight and found another giveaway check it out at projectnursery.com!

No more terrible 2's....I hope!

Well Kaden's birthday isn't for another week but we decided to celebrate the special day early since Chris was going to be gone. I was worried he was going to be sad not having all his friends at his party. He talked about them the whole way to chuckee cheese. But once his cousins got there and the fun started he was not at all disappointed. We had a fun time!
All he talked about for weeks was how he was going to have his party at Chuckee cheese. How could I say no to that when he was so excited about it!?

He asked for a Jungle/Madagascar cake for his party. He also told me for weeks that this was the cake that was going to be at his birthday. I hope it was what his little mind was set on!

Thank you everyone for making this such a special day. It is all he has talked about since and he is already talking about next year! He has already informed me that next year he is going to have a monster party and cake! We will see what happens in a year?

Crazy, crazy crazy!

My head has been spinning. These past few weeks have been crazy! I am so proud though of my hubby! He finished his second year of law school (one more to go)! This summer is going to be crazier then ever. Chris got an internship working for Intel in AZ! We are so excited because this is such a great opportunity for Chris since he would like to do patent and IP law! Because it is just for the summer the boys and I are just going to bounce back and forth between Utah, Washington and Arizona! We are so proud of our Daddy, even though we will miss seeing him everyday!
