One CUTE boy!!

I enjoyed every minute of taking pictures of this little boy!! Troy is a doll as my Grandma Fotheringham would say. I have to say that he is a stud muffin! He is going to have the girls chasing him once he old enough to date. I truly love him so much. I get so excited to watch him and see his little personality change. He is so full of personality. He was smacking kiss noises at me today after kissing him. I am so glad that I have Kristy and Troy in my life. Kristy is so amazing and she brightens my world. Love you Kristy and I hope you like the way the pictures turned out. I love them and thank you for letting me practice on Troy. My first real photo shoot!!

Apple picking

I'm Back!!! I decided that blogging is so important because in a way it is journaling. I am so exc!ited to blog and print everything for family record. I love my life and my 3 boys. I love every momment in my life and for the great blessings I get to enjoy everyday. We went apple picking as a fam and it was increadible. I love that my boys enjoyed it so much and still talk about it. They loved climbing the ladder and picking them all by themselves. It was a beautiful day and I can't wait until next year to do it all over again. We made applesause and apple pie filling and it sure is YUmmY! Easton was my big helper... he pealed all apples while I sliced them... What an amazing 3 year old. Jax was a helper too but he enjoyed eating the apples more than anything. Love the memories!!!

5 year anniversary

Can't believe it has been 5 years sense Zac and I tied the knot and started our amazing family. I can't even tell you how blessed I am to have such an amazing husband and wonderful kids with him. We have definitely had our ups and downs but threw it all we are surviving and loving every minute of it. I have an amazing day planned for us tomorrow and can't wait to spend it with my lover! I will post pictures:)

Swimming lessons are over :(

Best BUddIES!!Jaxon can't wait for his turn. Constantly saying "my turn, my turn" In fact the kids always want the other one to go first when they first get there. Jaxon didn't even hesitate. He just jumped in. So proud of him! They are both staying in the water even when its not their turn. hurray!!

This was crazy. Jaxon hugged Easton and Easton lost his balance and fell back. They both went under water. It was a little scare for Jaxon. I rescued them quickly. Crazy kids. Always have to be on your toes with kids that love water so much.

Easton floating on his back by himself!!!!! yeah!!!! High five buddy!!

We sure had a great time with the kids in swimming lessons this year. I won't miss the drive everyday but it was well worth every penny. Both of the kids progressed so much and are both doing so well. Easton can float on his back and swim the length of pool by himself. Jaxon is no longer scared of the water and its hard to keep him out. He is at that scary phase where he thinks he can swim by himself but can't. We have to keep an eye on him constantly. I love the confidence that he has though. I am constantly telling them that they are the best swimmers. Now I need to buy a pass at a motel or something so they can keep practicing even threw the winter. I don't want them to forget and start all over next year. I love my boys so much. They bring me so much happiness. I can't believe how much they change and grow everyday. I LOVE THEM!!!!!

FAmilY TiME is memorable

We sure don't get a ton of time together as a family but we sure make the best of the time we do get together. I am so proud and grateful for my little family. My kids are always so fun and I am so proud the them. Zac sure is a hard worker and I am so grateful for him in my life. He sure knows how to build me up when I am sad. He makes me smile and laugh is a great father to our little guys. He is my rock and I am so proud of him and the person he is. Thank you Zac for the great family time that we have had lately. Tomorrow can't come fast enough. Tuesdays are Saturdays at our house. We actually get to sit down and enjoy a meal together and we usually do something fun as a family even if it is just lounging around and visiting.

We built a fire... (or I should say I built the fire. I took up my bow drill set and made the fire from my sticks. I haven't done that for along time. I was proud of myself,that I can still do it. Zac just laughed at me and thought I was weird. haha. maybe I am. But its a survival skill and someday I may need it. haha ) ...roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and ate smores (my favorite:))

Easton loved roasting his hot dog. Jax just sat back and watched. He didn't want to get close to the fire, thank goodness for that.

Me and my handsome boys

One of our favorite places to go is Pine Valley. I surprised Zac with a fishing license and we took the boys fishing. What a great time. Unfortunately we didn't catch any fish but we had a great time teaching the boys how to cast. Easton can almost do it on his own and Jaxon just had fun flinging the pole around and pretending to fish. so funny

My cute Jaxon
Zac sure had a great time with the boys!Shirley was so good. She stayed in this spot. So obedient. She is an excellent dog Easton enjoying the fishing experience

Zac's hunting grounds. He loves this area!! So beautiful

Jaxon kissing his friend Mr. Horny toad. He loved this littLe creature.
It was so small. Easton didn't want to hold it but kept it in his hat. Jaxon loved it and just wanted to hold it. Poor little horny toad got its taste for what humans are all about.

There is no greater joy than to spend new adventures with your kids. I loved it. This was so exciting to them and it was so fun to share it with them. I loved playing in the dirt and holding frogs too when I was little. It brought back many memories of my tomboy adventures with my big brother. haha

Easton sat in front with Dad and loved every minute of it. He was a big helper and looked for deer.

The kids took turns helping dad drive. So fun. Jax was so funny. He didn't want Dads hands on the steering wheel. He wanted to drive all by himself. He was crazy, driving us off the road and almost hitting trees, then he would laugh so hard. funny kid.

Jax and I road in the back together and we sure had a great time. He loves loves to go for a ride on the ranger. Every time you ask him "what should we do today?" He responds "Ranger, ride" Easton and him would spend all day driving around in it. Great investment for great family adventures!!

Team work

We didn't see too many deer. We were too loud and scared them all away. haha. But we sure had a great time.Because of my mom I love sunsets......I could stay up every night to enjoy a good sunset. Beautiful! Pictures don't ever do sunsets justice.

lOVE MY FAMILY!

THE END!

Cutest Baby!

I just love this little nephew of mine so much! I have really gotten attached to him and his cute ways. He is really developing a cute personality! Thank you Kristy for letting me watch him on my days off. My sister is the best little mom ever. She is amazing! Doesn't this little guy look so happy and healthy!! I think he wins the cutest baby award (look at that smile and his dark brown eyes) aww, so cute!

Zac shot his deer!

My hubby shot his deer last evening. He came home just as we were almost out the door for church and surprised us. How exciting! Congratulations Zac, I am so excited and proud of you. Easton was especially proud. Easton kept saying " I want to eat it" Jaxon didn't want anything to do with it. He is more conservative than Easton.
Zac shot it at 83.5 yards away and hit it in the neck and got both carotid arteries. Wow, what an amazing shot. The practicing every night has paid off. Good job Zac!!!
