Well we have had a couple crazy two weeks. After we got home from Bear Lake the boys birthday was two days later. So trying to get two cakes made and get the house ready for everyone to come over was pretty crazy. Then we decided to go to Boise the morning after the boys birthday and visit Jake and Kayleen and the kids. We also thought it would be a good time to get our teeth cleaned. Brant only had one cavity this time which is really good for him. But Jake didn't fill it until Saturday and he asked me if I wanted to go help him and work the suction for him. It was so cool to see my brother do stuff like that and to see dental work done from that side of the chair. Thanks Jake for letting me help. We also took the kids to a little splash park that is right by Jake and Kayleens house so we went there for a little bit and then came home. They also had there pool set up at their house so we let the kids play in that. Maya decided that climbing up the slide was much more fun then going down on her bum so she would climb up and then slide down on her tummy. She wasn't too into the water so the swingset was good for her. We had a great weekend with Jake and Kayleen. Thanks guys for everything we always have a great time.

Well my baby boys are already three I can't believe how time flies when you are having fun. The boys have been anticipating their birthday ever since Brant had his cause they knew their's was after his. They both told me exactly what kind of cake they wanted so it was fun to have them have different ones. They had so much fun opening all of their presents. I didn't get a picture of it but Aunt Candace and Uncle Aaron and the boys gave Hunter and Isaac their superman pj's and so they put them on and went outside to ride their new bikes with their superman pj's they had a blast. Thanks everyone for coming and supporting them on their birthday's

Well we made it. Bear Lake was an awesome place to take the kids for a vacation. We got there on Friday and got settled in and than we all got to make our own pizza's for our families. On Saturday we went to the Oregon trail Museum in Montepelier Idaho and of course I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pics of that. It was really interesting and we got to go on a wagon ride. I think the older kids liked it but the younger ones were tired and not too interested in it. Then thanks to Jordan and Melissa we were able to go to Bear Lake Hotsprings and go swimming. The kids had a blast cause the water was really warm. On Sunday we just hung out and had sunday dinner and then Brant planned a Family Home Evening after dinner. He did a great job and I think not only did the adults feel the spirit but I think the kids did too. On Monday we were able the find a really nice beach spot at Bear Lake. We made sandcastles and had a picinic lunch. We also played games, watched movies, and went for walks. I am go grateful for all of the help I got for this vacation. We had lots of fun and can't wait till next years family vacation. It was so fun to see all of us together at the same time. Thanks again for everyones help.
