The versatility of toy boxes

We went to check on the boys and this is what we found...they emptied their toy box only to climb inside and play their DS games.  I still haven't figured out if they were hiding from us, or if they just liked playing in the "dark"  Either way..it sure made us laugh!

This is what we saw when we first walked in

We Love Wednesdays

The boys have an early out day every Wednesday.  They decided they wanted to make brownies to pass some time in the afternoon.  They wanted more "boyish" aprons.  I guess I should work on that!  I love that the boys are getting older, and are capable of doing more things on their own.  

Maybe next time the boys will remember to not lick the butter stick, though...

A Camping We Will Go...

We found a super cute little camp ground up at Bear Lake & decided to squeeze in one last little outing before the weather really started getting cold. We kept busy with a trip to North Beach, the Bear Lake Pizza CO., exploring around our campsite, reading books & enjoying campfires. It was the perfect way to end our summer!

Here Comes The...Bride?

Some of you may know that my brother is getting married this weekend! I am so excited for Ashley to become part of our crazy family. We all love her & are so happy for both of them.

The boys came along with me to her bridal shower. At first I was thinking they would be bored out of their mind. Come to find out, there were plenty of kids there & they even got to join in the fun. The boys were chosen to sport the famous toilet paper wedding gowns. All of the little girls broke up into two teams with one adult leader. The boys had to stand there while these little girls created their gowns. They were so embarrassed at first, but by they end they were cracking up with the rest of us. I am glad they were good sports about it!

How do you tire out kids?

We wanted take the kids to the Drive In to see Toy Story 3. We wanted to make sure the boys stayed awake for it, so we came up with a plan.

1. Take the kids to Lagoon the night before and stay till closing.

2. Wake the kids up early the next morning, and make them hike for just over 4 hours.

3. Make them take a nap for a few hours before the drive in.

4. Enjoy the drive in!

Our plan worked! The boys LOVED the movie, and so did we. I was hoping to get pictures of all of the activities listed above, but hiking is all I had our camera for. If you are wondering who is who, just look for the kid who is not smiling in ANY of the pictures. That is Isaac. His poor mouth was full of canker sores.
