Camping in the Yard and School

We didn't get to go camping somewhere, so we decided to do it one night in the back yard. What cute men we have at our house!

Luke ran inside to get 'his' hammer to help out Dad. How sweet!

Seriously... he is just so cute. I think I write this on every post, but I can't get enough of this little man!

Introducing the new love at our house....Ginny!

I think we have had so much fun that Austin was a little tired.

We had over some neighbors for some games and pie. It was really fun. I love that Tad is great at organizing the kids to play some fun games. PS that is also a fun neighbor playing with the kids, not Tad if you were wondering. Nothing better than playing with the kids right?

Yup we have a kid going to school. Kind of exciting. He was ready. No I didn't cry when I dropped him off at school this morning, but Lukey did. Am I really old enough to have a kid in school? Well... I don't look old enough hahahahahah!

Message from Taddy Boy!

Sweet huh!?!

I love this man who creatively expresses his love for me.

Fun Fun Fun!

These last few weeks we were spoiled to have my siblings come to visit. First Heber came to 'entertain' my kids for a whole week. Man it was awesome! Then we did a switch and Allie and Jocie came. Allie actually went to OYA for most of the time, but it was fun to have her for a bit. Jocie was the bomb. She was my right hand lady. She held Cole all week while we attempted to do some fun projects.

Here is Jocie and Luke at the splash park in Rexburg. What an amazing Aunt to go in the freezing water with Luke.

We decided to take a trip down to Utah. The first stop was to visit the fun boy cousins. My kids were very upset every time we left.

We so enjoyed meeting our darling new niece, Payton. Oh man Tad and I both were in love.

Man I love this family.

Landon's Home!

Well this sweet family of mine hasn't been together in SIX YEARS! We are missing Nick's wife because she is about to produce a darling little Hartley lady. We were really missing her.

Here is some pictures of us anxiously waiting for Landon to fly in.

The cute little girl cousins had a great time drawing signs for Landon. They are pretty adorable so it was wise to label themselves with this sign.

Here is Landon getting introduced to my boys. Luke was a little older than Cole when he left. Its amazing how fast they grow.

Is this baby not the cutest thing ever? If you were around him you would say he is the sweetest ever too! We love our little Cole leioli-rolly-poli.

Once Landon had gotten acquainted with the boys, the boys were in trouble. Landon loves to tease and the boys thought this was so fun. Really?

While we visited for the week I got to help throw my friend Courtney a baby shower. We are pretty excited to meet this new little girl. Pink is not a color I get to work with much. No worries I'm not complaining, but it is still fun on occasion.

Courtney and I took a cake decorating class together two years ago. We have been creating ever since. Out of all the people, I figured it was most important to make a cake for Courtney. She is just about the only person who could know the time, sweat, and desire to make one.
