Fishing- A true story

So I thought it would be a fun family Saturday activity to go to Payson Lakes for the day, take a lunch and go fishing. I had never been fishing and thought it sounded like fun for the boys. Sounds good doesn't it? Well by the time we got everything ready Saturday morning, we got off to a late start. By the time we got to the lake everyone was hungry and ready for lunch. We ate enjoyed lunch and then...well have you ever tried to keep a 10 month old still? Logan wanted to crawl everywhere and eat every rock, stick, and bug in sight- I hate being dirty or having my boys be all dirty...so that was frustrating. So I decided to take the boys to walk around the lake while Matt enjoyed a few peaceful moments fishing. We had a good walk but as we got back McKay had to go the bathroom. And he refused to do it in those outhouses. The lake was filled with people so we couldn't just hide behind a tree. He is crying he has to go the bathroom. Logan is crying because I won't let him crawl around and eat rocks. I am about in tears because I am sick of both of them crying. And Matt is mad because he hasn't caught a fish yet (it didn't help that McKay kept playing and messing up his fishing pole). Needless to say we were all onery and desperately needed to leave. Matt loaded up the car and we all drove home- oh did I mention we had to throw out Logan's pacifier so he cried most of the way home? Yes, I had a wonderful first fishing experience. Matt keeps telling me I have to give it one more chance before I give it up for good but I'm not quite sure. I took a couple pictures when we first got there but then I was to frustrated to take any more so here are our happy moments on our first (and most likely only) family fishing adventure.

Photo Shoot

I told McKay for my birthday I wanted a cute picture of him and Logan together so I dressed them in their cute summer clothes and bribed with goldfish to get them to sit still. Well they sat still but they looked everywhere but at me...oh well. Out of the dozens of pictures I took, here are the ones that are actually pretty fun.

...and they're done!

My Silly Boys

May was filled with Greenhouse, packing my parent's house up, and enjoying the warm weather. I managed the Greenhouse at the Red Barn this spring for Olson's and McKay and Logan were my assistants. McKay was actually a good little helper for the most part and looked forward to our daily outing to make sure everything was in order. Logan usually enjoyed a good nap... We also helped my parents every spare second getting everything in order for their mission to Peru. It was fun to be able to spend so much time with them before they headed out. And we LOVE to be outdoors- everyone is so much happier when we are out in the fresh air! Thank goodness for summer!!

Happy Birthday to me!

I got popsicle molds that we have had fun experimenting with. The frozen yogurts have been good but our favorite by far is raspberry lemonade...you should try it!

I love this silly boy! He is go, go, go all day long and rarely stops to take a breath. Constantly asking questions and amazes me with how smart he is. He is (almost) always happy and so fun to be around. He keeps me on my toes!

McKay idols his Daddy. Every morning he wants to know where Daddy his and when he is coming home. He'll put on Matt's shoes and walk around saying, "I Daddy!" and just laugh. If Matt is around, McKay is right behind him doing exactly the same thing. Here is wearing Matt's work gloves and hat.

And my little explorer. Logan is officially in the explorer stage. He wants to investigate every corner, cord, crumb, shelf...you name it! I think he's trying to tell me he's hungry, what do you think? He just crawled over and is trying to climb into his high-chair. Logan is always happy and will instantly make you feel loved with his ginourmous hugs. He'll cuddle up with me, purr (yes, he purrs like a kitty), and combs my hair with his fingers until he falls asleep. What an angel little guy!

Nothing like a cool drink on a hot summer day after a walk to the park.

My water boy! He is actually really good at watering as long as you keep him focused!

I came home from a run one Saturday morning to find this- all three boys zonked out on the bed. Pretty cute!

Happy Birthday again! Look at my fun treasures!!

Father & Sons

In May Matt, McKay, Grandpa Bill, and Daniel headed off to Fathers and Sons Campout at the Old Pinery in Nephi. It was McKay's first camping experience and he was so excited. It was all he could talk about and I don't think he was disappointed. What little boy doesn't love being in the dirt for a whole weekend, eating smores, hiking with a stick, and looking for bugs? He had a blast!
