My baby ?

This is my baby who idolizes his big brother. Josh does not appreciate me calling him or referring to him as "my baby". He gets very mad. So if he was to read my last post(s) he would be very upset that I referred to him as "my baby". Anyway, since he was an (infant) baby, Jared has always called him "McGoo". Jared said he looked like Mr. McGoo, though I have no idea who that is, and it sorta stuck. Well the other day i was trying to get his attention, and as he normally does - he ignored me when i said "Josh" (like 3 times) so I said "McGoo!" He then turned around and said "my name isn't mcgoo. it is joshua". I thought that happened in like junior high?

This one, who is also my baby, doesnt mind so much when I refer to him as my baby. He sorta likes it. :) (though don't tell his friends).

and we had to say goodbye~

We had the opportunity of spending some time with Amanda and the kids this summer while Kevin was in North Korea. Unfortunately the time had to end. Kevin came and got them and they moved to Okinawa, Japan.


This was going to be our "final" and "goodbye" pic...

but then some one suggested Leatherby's. I love this picture. My baby and my Dad sharing an ice cream and Brycey too.

This is the "final" pic before we said our goodbye's.

We will miss having them around!

it's been awhile...

A few pics of what we have been up to this summer...

I love these pictures of Jake. He is growing up so fast! He has pretty much taken over my 4-wheeler. He drives him and Josh and whomever wants a ride all over camp. These pictures also make me think of when he will be 16 with a drivers license. He is going to drive his car home, come in the house and eat. Because this is what growing boys do!






He did it again!


Here is Josh and Bryce. Josh is practicing his aim and Bryce is his helper.

Jared took these next two pictures. I thought Evie's was pretty cute.

This is about the amount of fun I had the whole trip.... and that is because I am sure I was eating a yummy Almond Joy.

Our annual Bear Lake trip. So much fun! We didnt even have a boat. Our plans for a jet ski fell through, but we didnt even need one.

yea. This is what I get when I try to get Jakes attention for a picture.

More Bear Lake.. they are not all smiling because of the camera... it is what I had to say to get them to all look at me.

4th of July. We had lots of fun. We had some of our friends and family over for food and fireworks. I just love these get togethers. I wish we could do them more often!

and of course a little swimming. I was lazy with my camera at the pool this year. I figured all swimming pictures look the same! Though Josh doesnt swim with "floaties" anymore. These are all the cousins swimming together. (Krystal if you are reading this, we have for sure got to have you guys over to swim next year! I would say this year, but I think the pool closes on Monday).

and camping! This is only one of our fun camping trips this year. the other one I forgot my dang camera! Actually I forgot that we had the luxury of the camper and that it had plugs.... my battery was dead in my camera so I didn't bring it. duh!




Just a few things we have been up to. of course the kids are back in school now and my baby goes to school all day! I think this is harder than kindergarten. Though my baby is growing up....he still holds my hand and I LOVE THAT!
