Eli and Owen - Best Buddies!!!

Eli and Owen are truly best friends. They love each other and fight with each other, but either way, they are inseperatable. They love doing everything the other one is doing all the time. I hope that it will stay this way the rest of their lives!

This picture was taken on the 4th of July. We were huddled underneath a blanket, underneath a pavilion, trying to stay warm and dry. All of a sudden, lightning came from the sky and was hitting everywhere around us. I hurry and snapped this picture of the boys, literally scared to funny faces!!

This is Mandy's most favorite picture of the boys. They are watching a movie together!

Shyla's Wedding - Logan Temple

Shyla, Mandy's younger sister, was just got married in the Logan Temple. We went down to Utah and was able to see the ceremony and meet Jeremy's family. He is a wonderful person and will be good for Shyla and Aiden.

I know I might be biased, my I think these 3 kids are the cutest kids in the whole wide world.

Eli's Preschool Graduation

Eli finally graduated from Preschool. His teacher, Miss Robin was the most kind and loving teacher Eli could ever have. Eli has a great passion for learning. At the end of the year, he is already telling time, reading stories, and writing letters and numbers. We are so very proud of him.

This is a picture of Eli and one of his best friends from school and church. Her name is Emma. They are the same age. One day, Emma told her mom that she didn't like going to preschool if Eli wasn't going to be there. Around that same time, Eli wanted to start wearing his glasses. After much questioning we finally got it out of him that Emma got glasses. He wanted to be just like her.

Father and Son Hike - East Rosebud Waterfall

We had a lot of fun at our Father and Sons campout. This year we went toEast Rosebud Resevoir. We made it early in evening, setup camp, ate dinner, and had a riot cooking marshmellows and playing in the dark. We went to sleep and froze the entire night, although, once the sun came up, we warmed right up. We went on this really cool hike. Eli and Owen did really well. It was really pretty!!

Skydiving with Uncle Kyle!!!

While we were in Utah, we had the cool opportunity to IFly. IFly is an indoor skydiving simulator. Uncle Kyle, Emily's husband, works there. For Eli and Owen's birthday, Kyle took them skydiving. This Owen, all suited up, ready to fly! This is Eli flying in the air tube. This was the 3rd time he has flown with Uncle Kyle. He is getting quite good at flying. Uncle Kyle was actually able to let Eli go on his own for 3-4 seconds. That is really good for only his 3rd time.

This was only Owen's first time. You have to be 3 years old to do this. He cried the whole time, but when asked if he would like to go again, he definetly would like to. He said it was a lot of fun. **High Five....Knuckles**

This is Eli, suited up, ready to fly!!

Always brothers. Eli always looks out for his brother Owen. They are nearly inseperatable. They love to do everything together. When Eli flys, Owen flys. Right before we snapped this picture, Eli was giving Owen the rundown on how to fly. Eli knows everything.....lol!!!

Easter Day!!

We had a wonderful day on Easter. The Easter Bunny came and spoiled the kids with games, toys, and treats. Grandma got the kids cute Easter outfits. This is Isabelle in her cute spring dress.

Since our kids never want to look at the camera at the same time, this is the best shot that I could find. I could never ask for cuter kids. I get goosebumps everytime I see them. We are so lucky to be able to come down to Grandma and Grandpa's house to spend time with them.

Let's dye some Easter Eggs!!!

We have had the wonderful opportunity this year to go to Grandpa and Grandma's house for Easter this year. It is also Grandpa's birthday. We had a lot of fun the night before Easter dying Easter Eggs. Grandma thought it would be fun to let the kids dye a little more than their feet.
