Dirt, Family Pictures, Birthday, Bowling

Leveling our front yard. The boys loved helping dad shovel dirt!

Family picture on a timer. If Bridger was looking at the camera it would have been a pretty good picture!

Individual family pictures!

We celebrated my sisters birthday while we were all together before Mark and Annette left for Utah. Everson helped Shel blow out her candles and Canon gave Shel the best kiss after she opened her present from her!

We decided to pack everyone up and go bowling. It was the boys and Kyrie's first time bowling. The kids didn't know what to think, but once they had a turn, they were totally into it. Bridger even got to bowl, sort of.

My niece, Kyrie, had her own way of bowling. She used her head to push the ball down the ramp.

When it wasn't our turn bowling we used the time holding any kid near us and of course dancing!

This is my favorite picture of the night!

Fun boating

We have a lot of fun going boating. Canon loved driving the boat and Everson loved inner-tubing. Even though Bridger was shoved into an over-sized life jacket, he was very content.

Of course we had to stop for a potty break! Everson and Canon thought it was pretty cool that they were allowed to pee into the water.

Cute Bridger

Just because we think he is so cute!

Luau!

We went to a fun luau at the beautiful Fallbrooks farm. We enjoyed dinner, seeing horses, dancers, and of course eating shaved ice!

Enjoying our yummy shaved ice while watching the Fijian dancers.

He passed!

Everson did a great job and passed level 1 swim lessons. He started out a bit timid, which you can read about here if you haven't already. Anyway, the one thing that he had a hard time doing was putting his face in the water for 3 seconds. He would do it for us, but refused to do it when he was at swimming lessons. We kept having him practice it and when it was time for the teacher to test the kids on whether they could do all the things on the check list, Everson stepped up and did it with ease. YEAH!!

Happy to pass level 1

Of course he had to give us a not smiling face after a good smiling face.

We love them!

Canon asked to hold Bridger today and then of course Everson wanted to hold him too which led to me thinking it would be a good photo opportunity.

We love our boys!

William's family!

One of Todd's buddies, Joe, from BYU-H and his mission, was in town with his family and needed a place to stay for a couple nights. Todd hadn't seen Joe in 11 years. We were more then happy to have them stay with us. Joe and his wife, Reiko, were so nice and such easy going guests. Their kids, Tendo and Rhonda were so cute! Our boys loved having new friends stay with us. We loved having them stay with us!

Having fun playing outside. I might have gone a little overboard taking pictures of Rhonda, but with a face like that, how could I not.

The boys loved being bounced by Joe on the trampoline.

Canon, Tendo and Everson played well together.

First Haircut

It was about time that we gave Bridger his first haircut. He hadn't lost any of his newborn hair which made him have a mullet and looked like he was wearing a toupee. Todd did a great job! Sorry I don't have a before and after.

Swim Lessons

Let's just say Everson was not exactly thrilled we signed him up for swim lessons. He is a timid child who does not like new things. Just as we thought he started to cry, and we thought, he will be the kid crying and sitting on the side of the pool the entire time. Thankfully we were wrong. His wonderful swim instructor, Teacher TJ, was amazing. He was able to get Everson to stop crying and coerce him into the pool about 7 minutes after lessons started. Everson even smiled during some of the lesson!

Let's go fly a kite

Everson told me one day that next time we go to Lola and Grandpa's he wanted to go to the beach and fly kites. We told him we would definitely do that and hoped the weather would cooperate with us. Lola and Grandpa bought the boys Star Wars, Toy Story and Spiderman kites. It was a little windier then we would have liked, but the kites flew great and we all had fun! Canon liked collecting some shells and Everson liked to run after and scare the seagulls.

Potty Training

Be warned, the picture below contains graphic images.

Canon pooped in his potty for the first time! It won't be too long when we will only have one in diapers!
