{Timp Fall Hike}

What are you supposed to do when the whole school district is out of school,

but you charter school isn't?! Take the day off too!

We decided to hike up to Timpanogos Falls! It was such a beautiful hike and really was the perfect hike for the three little.

We loved playing hooky today in the beautiful Utah mountains and really loved being with Bryn and Holly! Thanks for the fun day guys!!

{Happy October}

It's really October!! And the first thing on our agenda is to go pick out our pumpkins!

Love these boys and their excitement for holidays!

{July} Summer Fun

I am loving summer and all the time I get to hang with my boys!! Here is some of the fun we're having...

The other day we rode bikes to Grandma and Papa's house and had a squirt bottle water fight! the boys loved drying up on the warm concrete!

Ashton went to his bff''s birthday party at Hang Time! And of course had a blast! I just love these two cuties together!

Bobbie threw the cutest little Luau for Kenny's and Tate's birthdays in our yard! The kids loved the slip and slides and Grandma's yummy pina colada! 

We love going swimming! We're always switching it up and going to different pools, depending on what the boys want to do. We decided to try out the Spanish Fork Reservoir this month and not sure if we'll be back... I mean the boys loved it, but the type of people and the awful sand won't be begging for me to come back.

I love finding coupons to go out to eat. There's something about the excitement of not cooking and  getting out of the house for dinner that I love! 

The boys have been so cute and creative with their sidewalk chalk this year! I love that it gets us outside and creating!

Oh sweet summer... I just never want you to end!

{Grandma Sue Camp}

Dropped my cuties off to Grandma Camp. They were counting down the seconds and couldn't wait to party with their 6 favorites!

Thanks for making sure this happens each year Gram! These are the memories they will never forget!

{Boyer Cousin Fun}

My sisters both came for a visit this week!! I love having our family all together, and especially seeing all the cousins together!

We had a blast hiking up to the Payson Grotto. It's such a beautiful shaded trail, and some of the kids even braved the cold, cold water!

We also hit up the Provo Rec Center.

It's the best seeing these kids have so much fun together!

We were lucky enough that it was Krissy's birthday while she was here. I absolutely love this sister of mine! It was so fun to go out with the girls shopping. We stopped by the construction site of the new provo temple and enjoyed a cake Mom brought so we could eat it with no kids! That night Chad had Cafe Rio cater dinner to us and Krissy blew out the candles on her yummy Magleby's cake!

It was a great week and I'm so glad that my sisters made it out! Nothing beats the fun we have when all of us get together!

{June} Summer Fun

We have been having a blast this month and checking a lot off our summer to do's!

Ashton had his 4 week tennis camp and He Loved It!! 

Jude started his gymnastics class and is totally rocking it!

Ashton passed his Level 4 swim lessons at the Rec

I found some time to go to the temple...
Most peaceful place on earth!

We are always trying to find an excuse to go out for ice cream, and the boys reading club at the library gave them coupons to Farr's. Yum!

I have the two best swimmers! And that is all that they ever want to do is swim, swim, swim!

We love being with Holly and her girls! We went to the Provo Rec to swim one day and then all met up at the food truck roundup after, where the girls danced with the band and we ate way too much! Then we ended the day at our house!

For our Activity Days Recognition Night we threw a little Luau at our house. The girls and their families loved it!

Harmony and Jaxon have been in town so of course we've been spending lots of time with them. He is such a smart handsome boy!

We love summer!

{Temple Visit}

After our family night last week on temples, the boys have been wanting to go and visit a temple. So today after church we went to the Mount Timpanogos Temple. Even though the gates were closed you could still feel what a peaceful place it is on the outer grounds.

I'm hoping to get the boys a cute temple passport from Deseret Book that my sister in law told me about. And then start visiting all the temples in Utah.

I'm truly so grateful for the temple and the peace and beauty it brings into my life. I know that because of the sealing power in the temple that our family is forever. And forever sounds amazing with my 3 guys!

{Visiting Our Pediatrician}

Ashton had his 7 year well check up at the doctor this week.
43 pounds |11%| and 45 inches |10%|

We missed Judes 4 year well check so we combined appointments.
29 pounds |.82%| and 38 inches |2%|

These growing boys are both great eaters (except no greens for Ashton) and love to exercise! I always find them outside riding their bikes and running around. We love having running races to see who can get the fastest lap around the outside of our house. They also love charting their height on our growth chart and watching themselves grow. Legos and Hero Factory are still their favorites, and Lego Chima is their go to show. I'm so grateful for these two boys and all the love and joy they bring into my life!

Sadly we have been to the pediatricians office a lot lately.

Jude has had a rough start to summer with allergic reactions to mosquito bites, a hangnail that got super infected with strep and he ended up losing the nail, and catching Hand Foot and Mouth Disease...

Plus getting all his cavities filled! Sadly Jude got my gene of a tiny mouth, which causes major crowding and makes you highly prone to cavities.
Because of his age and the amount of work the Dentist had to do, he was put under at the surgery center. Jude was really nervous! I think because of all the doctor appointments and previous surgery center stays from when he was young, it just makes anything medical that much harder for him.
I was lucky that Mikey was able to take him since I was awfully sick. It is so hard watching him come out to the anesthesia. He does the most sad cry/scream for a good 10 minutes until he is fully awake.
He came home and just laid low all day. His cute Aunt Holly brought him a basket full of goodies {football, drink, bubbles} which just made his day!

Hoping the rest of the summer is better for my sweet jujubees!

{Lemonade Stand}

Ashton was so thrilled to put on his first lemonade stand! He bought all the supplies and couldn't wait to see how much money he and Jude would make!

We did it from 12-2:30 and they brought in almost $40 from sales of balloons and lemonade (one awesome driver by gave them a $10 tip)! It was so cute to watch them both be so excited about their stand and work hard at it in the hot sun! Good job you two!
