Kids say the darndest things

So one day after learing the story of Shadrack Meshack and Abendago.....I have Avery in the tub and he is playing with his lego figures and I hear him calling them the funniest names....I ask him "Avery what are their names?" and he says "this is meshack this is moshack and this is to-bed-you-go. He is so funny. He is so so so into dinosaurs right now and we got some books from the library and he is like a sponge he can say the names of the dinosaurs that I can't even pronounce sometimes.

A couple weeks ago we were eating dinner and Everett was being fussy. I in a teasing tone leaned over the table and said "what is your problem kiddo" and he points his finget to Austin and says DAD. It was so funny.

Ballooning

The boys have a thing for balloons. They like them a lot. So we figured if a little ballon makes them happy, why not show them 'the big ones' as Avery would say. The Eden Balloon festival was this last weekend. We left at 5:30 thinking the boys would go back to sleep. Once the word balloon was mentioned though, they had no interest in going to sleep. Even Everett seemed to get it. They weren't disappointed.

Everett wanted to go for a ride

Avery was concerned they were going to come down on him. At times, I wondered about that too.

Small Medium Large

Austin wanted to go for the photography. He wasn't disappointed either.
He said the light beams in this photo are crepuscular rays.

This guy was being taken for a ride by the balloon. I think it was supposed to be the other way.










These of Everett are just too funny not to put on. The one is a teasing grumpy face he makes, it was taken right before he ran and tackled Avery (a game they play a lot). The other face is one that makes me laugh whenever I see it, I have no idea what the captions should read other than "hmmmm how can I get a ride in that balloon"

Camping at Leigh Lake

One of my favorite parts of camping at Leigh Lake is hiking up to Bear Paw and Trapper lake. At Trapper there is a little waterfall and is surrounded by a field of wild flowers. It is beautiful. Here we are on our way

Some realy pretty flowers by Trapper Lake

Our friendly camp mate eager to eat anything left behind

This is poor Everett asleep (passed out more like it) as we were hiking


Dustin caught a frog. The Boys thought is was realy neat and got to hold him.






Everett loved the water but kept getting cold (as you can see from his face)so I would get him out and dressed and not two seconds later he would be back in the lake....so eventualy I gave up and let him run around in a diaper most the time.


Mckay Avery and Everett

Here we are with our great friends Dustin and Danielle and their cute boy Mckay right before we left the beach (our camp site)







Austins family has made it a tradition to have your picture taken on this fence with the Tetons behind you.

These are all taken from our campsite to give you an idea of how beautiful it is there

Yellowstone

After our camping trip to the Tetons we headed out to Yellowstone with Austins Parents and Grami Dell. We got some pretty good pictures and some pretty good scares out of our exploring no fear boys. Always wanting to be as high and as close to the edge as possible. We all made it out alive and intact :)
