Uncle Andy comes to visit!

We had a great visit with my brother Andy this last week. He just got back from his mission in Germany, and it was very nice to see him!

I did a terrible job remembering to take pictures, but I did get this one of Andy driving our boat. He went tubing for the first time.

I pulled the camera out at the very last minute to take some pics with Andy and the boys, but unfortunately Mason was at school, so I didn't get any with him.

Vance's hair is once again getting to that wild and crazy stage. He really needs a haircut, but I don't want to do it in fear that the curls won't come back!

Cute Pictures of Miles

I bought the boys some ice cream when we were out a couple weeks ago. As they were eating in the backseat, I heard Miles say, "This ice cream sure is good!" I turned to look at him, and he was most definitely enjoying that ice cream!I didn't even know about this picture until I downloaded it onto the computer. Miles informed me that Vance took it. Not too bad for a three year old! He has managed to figure out how to use the camera on my iphone. It amazes me how quickly my kids are picking up all the new technology!

School is back in session!!

I sent two of my boys back to school today.  Mason is in 2nd grade, and Miles is in Kindergarten.  I put them on the bus this morning, then headed over to the school to watch Miles go into school for the first time.   He did so well!  He didn't look back when it was time to go in.

They both had a great first day at school, and I hope they have a great school year!

Jordan's 30th birthday

Jordan turned 30 last Saturday!  We celebrated with his mom and dad, and he got to go watch the BYU game with the guys.  For his birthday, I bought him tickets to so see his sister Lindsey in Boston, and his parents got him tickets to see a Red Socks game while he it there.   I had to keep this a secret for weeks, and that is hard to do with Jordan!  I hope he has a great time!

Andy's home!!

My brother Andy came home from his mission to Germany/Austria last week!  I can't believe the time went by so fast.  He is going to come out to see us next week, and we are all very excited to see him.  I don't think my boys are going to give him a moment of peace!

Mason helping his Dad

Jordan had Mason help him mow the lawn, and Mason was so proud of himself!  Now he keeps looking outside at the grass and telling me he needs to go mow it.   It will be nice when he can do it all by himself.  :)

Do you aspire to be the mayor of your town? Vance can help!
