Take My Picture!!!

For awhile no one could even say the words "camera" or "picture" around Layton without him running away to hide.

But lately he just randomly asks me to take a picture of him, at times that I don't even have my camera out. Then he stops what he is doing and says "cheeeesssseeee!"

I guess he just thinks he is being cute and wants to make sure I have a picture of it! Who knows? :)

Purse Bandit!

It is not uncommon for me to get somewhere and either my debit card, cash, scheduling calander, phone, camera, etc... will always be gone. I saw Parker acting suspicious and caught him in the act of stashing away the contents of my purse!

24th of July!

My mom was in charge of Flowell's 24th activities, we went down to help out and join in the fun.

The primary always has a little parade were the kids dress up like pioneers. This was our 5 minute job of making a wagon for the parade, we made poor Austin pull the boys! :)

My mom got a little train of my aunt and uncles fixed up and had it for the kids to ride, my boys stayed on it ALL DAY!

There are other cars behind this, but my boys only cared about the 4wheeler and the horse!

Layton is never happier than when he is on a horse (real or pretend :)

I was mean, and made the older kids get out of the bounce house for 5 minutes to give the 2 and under kids a fighting chance at having fun, Parker loved it!

Poor Nana, this is super typical to see. My sweet Mom trying to watch 8 kids at once! We all dump on her like crazy, I will be so sad when school starts again...

I love the 24th almost as much as I love the 4th! We had a fun day in Flowell, we went to our wards "Pie"oneer party that evening. Everyone takes a pie to share and it is held in a barn with dance lessons going on. The party doesn't start until 8 pm, which is great for the heat, but not so great for bedtimes. We had fun, but made a vow not to take the boys next year!

lawn mowers (part 2)

Lance is such a great dad! He had been riding on the mountain all day moving cows and needed to mow the lawn when he got home that evening, instead of being able to hurry and do it, he let the boys help and had to mow it like this for a LONG time :)








If you are wondering about the part 2, check out this post from last summer :) Poor Lance, he doesn't have chance!

The last photo I ever took...

I got this from my friend Jamie in a email forward. I thought it was so crazy I had to share...

seriously!!!

(notice the wrong way sign...)

What did I tell you, crazy right?

"I tuk"

Everytime I go in to get Parker from his crib, he is sitting like this. And tells me "I tuk" (I'm stuck), even if he wakes up in the middle of the night.
Usually he isn't, but sometimes he really is stuck, he gets his chubby little legs wedged in, and then can't get them out :)

Big Socks

Layton went into my room and locked the door, but I was putting Parker down for a nap and decided not to bother Layton for awhile, after a bit I knocked on the door and he let me in...

He is so silly, he got a pair of Lance's socks (which go up to Lance's knees by the way) out of the drawer nd sat down and put them on, he had been in there for probably 20 min. notice how they are both on the same with the words nice and straight. That stuff doesn't just happen, he was super patient and got them on perfectly, and they went clear up under his shorts :)

I don't know if this little boy can get any funnier, I mean, seriously?
