Stinkin' Cute Random Photo

So this Super cute random photo is brought to you by.....a cell phone picture! My dad took this with his cell phone and I am in love with it. Aden loves when his juice changes his tongue colors and Grandpa captured it perfectly....I edited it only slightly to sharpen and enhance the quality but that's all I did....his tongue really was that blue!

My Beautiful Boys

Sometimes in the day-to-day I forget to be grateful for my blessings. Two of the biggest blessings in my life are my boys and some times in the chaos of it all I forget how much I love them and really am extremely grateful for them.

On the Move!

Since about 5 1/2 to 6 months old Raleigh has been doing a fun army crawl scoot thing....which while effective at getting him around, the front of all his clothes were always trashed and the toes of some of his jammies even had holes wore through. In the beginning of Aug he started to crawl a little....but always resorted back to his scoot. For the last couple weeks now he has finally converted to the traditional crawl and is even trying to stand up...it won't be long til he is walking and in to everything! (more than he already is anyways)

My Little Cowboy!

My dad borrowed a tiny saddle from his friend for Aden to use and he LOVES riding! He is learning a lot and will be ready for riding club in a couple of years. Looking at the pictures you can totally tell that Aden and Grandpa are both enjoying themselves.

Labor Day Adventure!

Over Labor Day weekend we went and stayed with our friends Nate and Becky in Vernal. On Labor day we went to the dinosaur museum. It was so fun to see Aden get so excited about the dinosaurs and things and to see Raleigh start to enjoy himself too!

My Two Boys!

So I have some pictures of both the boys around the same age that I have been wanting to post.
Here is by far my favorite! Aden's picture was one of the first times I got to play with black and white with some color elements.

Grandpa and Auntie Hannah Visit!

After riding the float and enjoying some of the festivities we got some much anticipated guests! Grandpa and Hannah came for a short but FUN visit! We loved having them come and we were sad to see them go but the short visit just might get us through til we go to Washington for Christmas.

Peacock's On Parade!

Pioneer day this year we were in the Orangeville day's Parade! My Grandma Peacock, with some help from the rest of the family, put together a float and it was so fun for the boys and me to be in it. I added some feathers to their cowboy hats so they would be showing their Peacock side! The float turned out SO cute and I must say it was a blast to ride the float and throw candy and beads to all the kids. On a side note, Grandma and Tammy adapted the float to go along with the County Fair Theme and in the parade on Aug 7th we rode it again won the Commissioner's Choice!

4th of July Fishing Trip!

After our fishing trip on Father's Day went so well we decided to go up on the mountain fishing for the 4th of July. We actually didn't go til the 5th but it was our celebration of Independence day. It was so fun and Raleigh even got to help Grandpa reel in a fish!

First Double Tubby!

These pictures are kind of old.....I have been really bad at keeping up on things lately but here are the pictures from Aden and Raleigh's first bath together. I love how they are both loving every minute of it! Aden was overjoyed to be combining two of his favorite things...his brother and water and Raleigh thought the big boy tubby was the coolest thing EVER!

Lake Reunion

The Annual Lake Reunion took place the end of June and we had way too much fun :D...Thanks to Courtney and Dale who planned and all our great family who make every year so much fun.

So here are some pics of the fun!

Buzz Lightyear

I wanted to add something from Aden to Chris's Father's day card. So I gave him some cardstock and a package of markers. I watched him carefully pick colors and color away. Well after he finished I put his drawing in Chris's card. When Chris opened his card he admired the drawing and Aden exclaimed "BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!" and sure enough....when you look at the portrait next to his action figure you can totally see it...the colors are perfect and he was so proud. I love it!

Happy Father's Day

So late as it may be here is my father's day post. I love the dad's in my life and appreciate them for all they do. My own has always been a great dad and provider for me and is now a fantastic Grandpa.

I also appreciate the father of my children. He is so great with the boys and takes care of us and makes our happiness his highest priority and I love him for it.
