Jack is 2!!!

We got Jack a Basketball goal for his birthday and after going through the house, finding EVERY ball, and shooting a basket, he went to the table pointing at his cake and said "Birthday ball?". He wanted to pick it up and play with it so badly!

What a handsome little devil!

First try!

Jack, you are the sweetest little boy a mom could ever imagine having. We all love you SO much and have treasured these past 2 years we've had with you. There isn't one thing I would even consider changing about you. Perfection! That's what you are! I love you sweet cheeks!

Last one for today! Promise!

Jack is such a mama's boy. He gives me "fishy kisses" all the time now. The other 3 pics are just examples of what a handome little man he is so I had to include them. I LOVE MY BOYS!!

Here are some of Sam on our hike! These boys LOVE the outdoors! And that makes mommy very happy!

Family Outing!

With the weather finally warming up a bit here in Logan, we have been able to get out and do a little exploring up the canyon. The boys are having tons of fun, and getting really dirty! Just the way it should be, in my opinion!

The rocks kept getting bigger and bigger! And the splashes kept getting splashier and splashier!:)

He sat right here for a very long time finding things to throw in the water and watching them float quickly away.

Check out this little belly. Don't you want to tickle it? Can you believe this guy will be 2 this month!!

Sam's First Ever Soccer Game!

Joe has been waiting for this day since I was 20 weeks pregnant with Sam and the doctor said "It's a boy!"! What a great day, even if it was POURING rain the entire game!

He was trying to keep his hands warm, not flipping the other team off!

He didn't take the grin off his face the ENTIRE game. That's saying a LOT since it was about 35 degrees outside and raining!

He had tons of fun and is so good at cheering for his team! He prays for help getting goals every night before a game! He's such a funny kid and we are so excited that he's having so much fun playing soccer!

Baby Animal Days!

We have fun every year at baby animal days! Jack didn't even try to rip ears off any animals this year!:) Sam was so excited about the Hatchet throwing again this year. He almost got one to stick. Last year he got one, so he was a bit dissapointed this time but still had tons of fun. Joe got one though!! Sam and Jack both did the Goat Chase at the little Rodeo. They were so cute! We've gone every year since Sam was about 1 and this was the first time that Joe has gotten to go with us!! I guess that's just life though. We enjoyed it this time though and hopefully it won't be the last. Is it odd that I'd rather have a goat than a puppy? Maybe not odd for me, right?! So cute and cuddly, and the best part is that their poop doesn't squish!! You can all come visit my farm someday and see all our baby animals:) By the way, you can click on the collage to see it closer.

ROOOAAARRR!!

These are all pictures from our recent trip to the Dinosaur park in Ogden. The boys both love dinosaurs, so of course they loved the park. Jack was a little freaked out by the robotic dino's inside but then got so excited about all the dino's hiding in the woods outside.


What a handsome little man!

He insisted on climbing, sitting, and standing on everything he could find...nothing out of the ordinary!

Then, of course Sam had to make a challenge out of everything...nothing new there either!

I love my boys!! They keep me laughing all the time.

Update!

See, I CAN update my blog occasionally! These pictures are from my recent trip to AR with Jack to see my family. This is 7 of the 9 of us! It's been a long time since that many of us were together at the same time, so I had to get some pictures to prove it!

Look at those handsome boys!! 3 of my 5 brothers!

We got a little silly too. Remember from Napolean Dynamite....Glamour Shots by Deb!! "Think of 1000 tiny seahorses...."

All the sisters!

Thank you Davy Crockett, one of the VERY few supporters of the Cherokee. If ever I begin to feel sorry for myself-and I don't have much to feel sorry for myself about-I need to refresh my historical knowledge of my ancestors, the Cherokee. I have so much.

Pictures of the boys coming soon, I promise. By the way, Jack is chewing on tin foil right now. Yum!

New Cakes!

Hey everyone, I cannot believe how busy this season has been and it just isn't ending. We've had lots of fun and I have lots of pictures to share...but, one thing at a time. I just posted pictures of 2 new cakes at www.lawhobbies.blogspot.com . I know you really just want pictures of the boys, but this is what you get for now I guess.

Update blog. Check!
