Come party with me 'cause I'm turning three!

Austin went to Joy School on his birthday
and this is the cool crown that his teacher made him.

His boating birthday cake. Oh the adventures of our Austi boy.
You have to know Austin very well to get how fitting his cake is.

Say cheese birthday boy! He loved his crown so much that he wore it all day.

Our big 3 year old. Happy Birthday Austi Hooter!

Our boys and their toys

They get so frustrated that this little battery powered 4 wheeler doesn't have the power to haul all 3 of them around. There is no way that they will get their Dad to buy them a real one though. Any guesses on Wyatt has a helmet on? He has a tendency to forget to hang on.

Future repair man?

Last month as I took out a load of laundry and put it on my bed, I left the dryer door open. When I went back to shut it --- this is what I found. Wyatt had climbed inside with his hammer. Apparently he is sick of the clanking noise it makes when running, and decided to take the repairs into his own hands.

One more Bear Lake trip

To end our summer of fun, we spent one last weekend
at Bear Lake. We rode these fun bikes and the boys loved
it ( of course they didn't have to peddle them).


Austin drove Grandpa's boat.

Hayden rode on the tube. (sorry this was the best shot that I got. He even fell off, but then got back on and rode the tube back to shore. This was a big thing for Haydo since he loves the water as much as his mom does.

Wyatt got to be the flagger and even fell asleep on the job.

We have had the best summer and hate to see it end. We

have a fun fall planned though with Hayden in KG and

Austin and Mommy doing Joy School. I wonder what Wyatt's

going to do?

Hayden starts Kindergarten

Our little boy started Kindergarten on August 31st.

He loves going everyday.

His teacher is Ms. May and Hayden really likes her.

He told me the other day that he wishes that he could

go to school all day instead of just for the afternoon.

When I asked him what he did on the 2nd day of school,

he told me that he learned to read. He is such a fast learner

but I don't think he's quite that fast.

Evening Fishing with the Boys

We spent an evening fishing at 2nd Dam up Logan Canyon. The boys had so much fun and thank heavens they didn't catch anything. I hate fish and I don't know what we would do if they actually did catch one. It was so pretty up there and you could even see the fish swimming right below us in the water.

Happy 5th Birthday Hayden!

So I'm a little behind on our summer happenings. On August 17th Hayden turned 5. We had a great day playing and spending the day together as a family. Hayden loved being able to have all of his cousins come over and help celebrate the day with him.
