Fishing @ the trout farm

On my to-do-list was trout farm. The boys have been begging to go fishing for some time now. But I just don't think they'd have to patience to wait at a lake or river for fish to bite. So, I figured that the trout farm was the way to go. It was guaranteed to give us a fish. The only thing was that they were to wise to just take the bait so we'd throw fish food in and hold our poles in while they scurried for the food which eventually lead to one of them accidentally grabbing the hook too. Yeah, that's how we caught our fish.
Getting us all going.

Of course lucky Nate caught the first one.

Uncle Jason helping Colton.

Colton caught the 2nd fish.

Everyone helping Sofie and Josh catch one

Still trying...

Josh still at it. You can see that he really doesn't feel good.

Ya! He finally caught one!

All the kids looking at their catch!

Fun at Great Grandma's

Playing on the swings. So, we had a bbq at grandma Howell's with all the family. It was nice to chat and relax with everyone.

I love this Colton kid.

Grandma, Kyle, Erica & Audrey. We're excited for Kyle and Erica-welcome to the family.

Chris brought the dunk tank. Everyone had a lot of fun. Nate is getting ready to be dunked here.
And here he is after getting dumped in. Josh did it too. He was on Uncle Kellen's lap, I have a video of him doing it but no pictures.
Grandma and Grandpa getting ready to go.

Grandpa holding the "twins" They had to do everything together and the same. They even ended up getting on the same poop schedule together.

Jason and Kellen holding Josh. Josh had some kind of stomach bug this night. He really didn't feel well at all. He just wanted to be held and sleep.

Great Grandma with all her great grandkids. I didn't notice at the time but when looking at the pictures I saw Colton and Sofie holding hands. I think that's just so cute.

Water Fun

This is our last day in Utah and it finally warmed up enough to go swimming. We went to the Roy Aquatic pool. It was on my list of things to do and we barely got it in because the weather just didn't cooperate with a lot of the things that I wanted to do. I was worried that the water would be cold but it wasn't actually really nice and warm. Nate went down the slide all by himself. I even let him go up in line all alone. That was a big step for me to allow him to do, I was nervous the whole time but he loved it and even made a new friend while we were there. It was a lot of fun. I think we would like to do it again when we come up in August.










The boys went swimming at grandma's house. Uncle Aaron was nice enough to get in with them. They really had a lot of fun with him. They even managed to make a whirlpool in that little pool.

Colton is jumping in.

Now it's Nate's turn to jump.

And here they are making a whirlpool.

Dinosaur Park

This is a picture overload post. I was going to apologize for so many pictures but then I realized it's my blog and I can do what I want and who ever doesn't like it doesn't need to look at it. Mom, Tilisa and I packed a lunch for the kiddos and headed off to the dinosaur park. It was actually a really nice day to go, not too hot at all. It was overcast but it wasn't until we got in the car to go that it started to rain so all was well for our trip. The kids had a blast, especially at their park. So, here is our adventure.
Getting 4 kids to look at a camera- NOT very easy.



He's showing me something.

The river was a lot pretty than what the picture show.

The 2 little munchkins took their own little trail.

Josh and Nate

Colton and Sofie

Nate's pretending to be scared!

Josh's scared face

And Colton's face is cause he can just barely reach the hole.

These 4 really are the wildest creatures ever!


Pictures of us playing at the playground.


(sorry this is blurry but I just like this one of Josh)
