Enjoy the Holidays!

The month of August

Luke loves his bike!! He has to ride it everyday as much as possible. We walk a 1 mile loop around the block every evening and Luke dusts' us the whole time. We are speed walking and we can barely keep up. It is fun to watch him go! That bike is already getting too small, so I guess we know what to get him for Christmas.......

Sweet Sam sucking on his toes

We went to Raft River with our neighbors and a bunch of other families from our ward. This home had a giant slip-n-slide on a hill. It was tons of fun and Luke loved riding down it.

My 1st half marathon since I had Sam. ( I counted up all the half's I've done and this one was #14!!) My time was 2:10. It was a tuff course with more hills than I expected.

After the half marathon, we all went up to Snowbird. (My dad had his company party there) We road the tram and the alpine slide. it was fun and oh so beautiful up there!

So pretty up at the top and the view was stupendous!

Sam sure loves to eat. He watches us all intently. I gave him this watermelon rind and he went to town! It was the most delicious treat!

 

I HATE blogging! I have spent more hours then i care to tell you trying to upload videos and move photos, but this ^%$#@$%^  blogger sux!!! So, things are out of order and I don't care. This may be my last post. Arrrgggggg! By the way, this picture above my rant is at the Blackfoot Fair. Ben and Luke rode some rides (holy expensive!!) and had a grand time. Luke bawled when we had to leave.

Luke and Carly at the reservoir, playing in the sand. Fun times!

Sam and Luke snuggling before nap time. We all read stories in bed with Luke before it's time to nap.

At the petting zoo. The fair was fun and of course we ate delicious fair food. We wore the boys out too. It has been a wonderful summer and we look forward to next summer already!I hate blogging

Growing and growing

Sam.i.am

Sam had his 4 month check and here are his stats:

Weight: 15lbs. 12 oz.      54%

Height: 26.5 inches    92%

Head: 16.5  50%

It has been fun feeding Sam cereal. He sure loves it! I remember Luke taking forever to actually eat and swallow it. Sam did that for a couple of days and then figured it out and eats and eats! My boys are going to have hollow legs and eat me out of house and home...

I think we are going to get some blue eyes! He will be the 1st on the England side. (out of 19 grandkids)  He sure is cute!

Luke in the boat. We took it out saturday to see if all is running well. The weather turned fast so we only cruised around for about 10 minutes. Oh well. We are going to try again this week. Luke has been wanting to drive the boat all summer.

Momma sure loves her boys!

Val and her family stayed with us for a couple of days and it was fun to have them here. Luke loved getting to know his New Mexican cousins!

Doesn't Luke look so thrilled?......ha ha. He always seems to get mauled by his female cousins. They love to mother him. Cute!

Luke and Sam in matching PJ's

 Sam figured out how to roll over last week. He is getting too big! And he rolls so fast I almost miss it everytime.

My handsome boys! I found some matching ties for them! They all couldn't be any cuter!

Luke and his crabby face. He was just informed that he couldn't get in the pool with his clothes on.....

Sam I Am.
