Memorial weekend

This year we decided to just hang around here. The weather kind of turned crappy on us.. the boys wanted to camp out in the back yard. So, instead they put the tent up in our living room. They sure had a fun time. We made cookies, did some puzzles and played games. They actually slept better than I thought they would.

Then on Monday we wanted to take the boys fishing. To make sure they had a good experience Trent and I decided that it would be wise to go to a fish farm. We heard of one up in North Ogden. It was a hit! The boys were having a blast. Within the first couple minutes we were there they had both already caught 2! We were there a whoppin' twenty minutes and came home with 6 rainbow trout! Pierce was pretty excited to try to eat them. We had a BBQ and I promised him that if he tried them that I would too. He did.. and tried to convince us that he liked it but his facial expressions weren't saying the same. I thought it was okay.. I am not a fish person.I would highly recommend this place.. great fun!Their faces were priceless as they caught each one!

Don't mind my outfit.. I was planning on working in the yard all day. Trent kept calling me Farmer Joe.. so of course the boys thought that was pretty funny!

Proud fisherman!

Couldn't for the life of me get them to look at the camera.

Concentration!

Brock's face when we told him it was time to go. He wasn't very happy. If we would have let him stay we probably would have come home with 50 fish! Funny!
It was a great weekend.I sure do love being with my little family!

A bunch of wild animals

Loving the train!

Not loving the wait for the train!

So Big! almost as big as a gorilla!

Pierce and his Buddies!He absolutely loves his friends!

They were so cute with their maps planning out the directions we were going to take! He they are running with excitement to the next animal!I love Pierce's tongue hanging out!

You can't see it that well but here is Brock sticking out his tongue like the giraffes!

Such a cool animal

Pierce and his sweet shades!

Pierce was amazed by the bears!

Gorilla picture!

Today we went on a field trip to the Zoo for Joy School. Pierce has been looking forward to this for some time. He was really excited to see the bears. He was disappointed that they didn't swim in the water. He is all about his friends lately so pretty much if he is with them he is having the time of his life.We had a little picnic and got to ride on the train.

Brock also had a great time tagging along. He is so funny every time we approached a new animal he commented on how stinky they were.. he would say " eww..stinky poo poo!" He was right they do smell! We were lucky and it was a beautiful day. I think that it was a success!

A Wonderful Sight..

I looked out my window and what did I see... Yay my fence almost complete! Start the countdown to total confinement of my children and dog in the backyard! YAHOO! I am so excited!

Best mother's day gift

Okay I just have to blog about my cute husband who totally suprised me this year with the ultimate gift. So I knew he was brewing up something.. but not this good! He gave me a trip with my mom and sister to California 5 days 4 nights. I am so excited to have some ME time. It has been so long. I can't wait until I am soaking up the sun on the beach! Thank you Trent I love you and you really are the best!

Take me out to the Bees Game

This last Thursday we went to our first Bees game of the season. We went with our good friends the Burton's. We had such a fun time there. Brock was so proud that he got to wear a "Bumble shirt. He didn't stop saying Bumble the entire time.. "where bumble go?", "Good job Bumble!" .. etc. he is such a little gabber! He was super excited to be there.

Trent and Ryan took the kids over to the train ride and waited so patiently for a ride. Well what do you know as soon as they get on the train starts to go and the train car's tire that they are in pops! Hahaha I never laughed so hard. Little too much weight I guess. The best is that Carly says to her dad," great dad now you broke the train and nobody can ride!" Funny times!

This is Pierce and his "Girlfriend" Carly.. whom he has informed us he will be marrying , in the temple. Cute!

Brock didn't dare stand by Bumble but the other kids couldn't get enough of him. Pierce was pretty much making out with him and I love Austin's face.. he was so excited to see him!

Pretty much the only picture I could get of them.. nice. Why can't they cooperate? We had a great time and look forward to more games!
