ZOO!!

Chase, my mom, and I took Keegan and Will to the Zoo last month and we had a blast!! Will loves, loves, loves the zoo! We walked all around and saw all the animals. The "Apes" were his favorite!! Keegan slept most of the time but woke up at the end before we rode the train and the carousel.

Keegan sleeping...

Will insisted on drinking from this water fountain...I guess it wasnt coming out fast enough because he took a big swig from the standing water in his mouth...kinda gross.

Catching Up...

It has been forever since I have updated so I'm gunna do a few big posts of the few exciting things that have happened the last little while. My lil sis Tavyn had a baby in May (Iknow a long time ago) so the baby you see in the pictures is little Keegan. We just love him to death!!

My Grandfather came to town a few weeks ago so we all got together and had a BBQ. This is our 4 generation photo.

In July Will had his second Birthday!! He wasnt too thrilled that EVERYONE was looking at him and wanted to take pictures of him. I got a few of the crusty looks that he is famous for giving.

Keegan and Will are getting so big so fast!! We love spending time with them and we spend every spare second we can plying with them!!

How the time flies!!

What I would give to have this time back!! I can't believe that he was once this small!!! What happened?!?!

Red Fish Lake

This past weekend we met my parents up in Idaho at Red Fish Lake. They go every uear and for the last few I have passed. I am so ghlad that we went up there this year! It was such a GORGEOUS place! The lake is so clear and beautiful with the view of the Saw Tooth Mountains in the background. This weekend was the first time that Diesel has had the chance to swim. We bought him a life jacket at my request so I didn't have to worry about him drowning!! He did pretty well without it but after we put it on him he was a little more brave. He ran up and down the beach pouncing in the water and finding the biggest stick he could possibly find!! The weather up there was high 70s low 80s so we got some good sun! We got to go out on the boat (thanks Uncle Steve!) play in the water, sit around the campfire, drive remote control boats and remote control cars, and spend some good time with the fam! We will be going back for sure next year, hopefully for a longer stay!!

Always finding the biggest stick!

All he needed was a little encouragement

Just the three of us

Love this picture! :)

4th of July (late)

The last few weeks have been so crazy for us so I am a little late with this post. For the fourth we went up to the cabin in Fairview Lakes. The weather was pretty good which only made the few relaxing days we had up there all the better! We drove into Scofield to watch the fireworks and after they had shot off the 10th or so firework it started pouring rain so we turned around and drove back to the cabin. All in all the weekend was great!

What in the world?

This is a common sight at our house...

So Diesel has decided that he enjoys standing behind anything that can hide him. The other day we couldn't find him anywhere and since our house isn't too big there weren't a lot of places to look. This is what we found...

Yes he is standing inside the tub! When it comes time for bath time we have the hardest time getting him into the tub but we constantly have to pull him out of there everyother day!!

Catching up

Since it has been months since I have blogged I have a lot to catch up on. The holidays were pretty crazy for us since between me and Chase we have like 8 families that we have to spend time with but we made it out alive. For New Years we spent a few days up at the cabin which was fun. Since the new year we have both been pretty busy working and making sure our dog doesn't destroy everything that we own! :) We finally had to break down and buy a new crate for Diesel since the one that my parents let us borrow was way to small for him! After hours of searching the internet I finally found the crate that will hopefully fit him for the rest of his life. $250 later we are now set!! (dogs are so expensive)

We also just went to Vegas for Nascar this last weekend. It was so much fun!! We put Diesel and Major (Chase's dads dog) at the same kennel and we were off for the weekend. We all went into Vegas on Sat. to do a little shopping and sight seeing. I came up with this GREAT idea to go up on top of the Stratosphere and ride the rides up there... For the record just let me say that was the dumbest idea I have ever had!! I was so scared and totally regretted spending money on rides that scared me to death! All day Sunday we were at the race. I am always entertained by the kind of people that I see there... I wish I would have taken pictures of a few that I saw beause I am still laughing when I think about them!!
