Lagoon!

We took the boys to Lagoon for the first time this year, it was really a fun afternoon. The boys could not get enough of the rides. What surprised me the most was the Bryson wanted to ride a BIG rollercoaster. I kept thinking that if he just saw the big ones he would stop asking, so we took him over to Wild Mouse... he wanted to go so he and I went. He freaked out a bit on the first turn but started laughing after I reassured him that it was okay. Then, he asked if we could go on Colussus. So onto the ride we went, he was so excited. I tried to help prep him for how fast it was and how it would feel. Once we went off the hill and up the first loop, he was a bit nervous. I spent the ride holding his head against seat. He wanted to go again, but we went back to the kiddy rides so Preston could go on some rides too.

Bryson - First Grade!

Bryson started First Grade today, I can hardly believe that he is old enough to go full days of school. He is so excited and likes school lunch the most. His first comment about his first day was "It was really long Mom". But he survived. We sat down and marked the lunch calendar of food he will eat and what he won't eat. He can't wait to go back!
New School cloths! Bryson picked out this vest at Old Navy, which was shocking in and of it's self. Usually anything that is dressy is a no go. If it has buttons and it's not Sunday you can count that out as well. He is a t-shirt kinda guy! What you can't see are his favorite new black chuckie shoes. He loves them.

Weston - Cow or Boy?

Weston has started chewing his tongue. It is really funny to watch, he sits and chews and chews. We have started to call him our little Cow...

Camping at Aspen Grove


We went Camping FINALLY this year. I have been a big baby and have not wanted to go with Weston in the tent. It was simply not somehthing I wanted to try. Oh and I am convinced that a bear is going to rip one of us out of the tent. Not much to say from someone that grew up camping. But we went with our friends Rich and Trina, and ended up having a wonderful time!

The boys started jumping their bikes off the picnic table cement pad. It had about a 18" drop so they were getting pretty good air. Byrson for being my "precise" boy has no fear and would not stop sometime ending up in the side of Rich and Trina's trailer.

Preston kept up with the big kids - Big Wheel and all. I was surprised at how well it went on the dirt.

Yep that is Darren trying to be one of the "big kids" shortly after this picture my battery died so I didn't get any pics of the kids jumping over Darren who laid down at the jump.
