Randomness throughout June and July

This day he told me he had to shave real quick before we left ha ha.

We've had lots of fun water fights together.


This was a present we got Tyrel for Father's Day. He is always wanting scratches and back rubs, so I thought this was kind of clever. Tytyn drove all over his back and he was in heaven.

This was about a month ago so our lawn is filled in alot more since this picture. Tyrel has also sprayed for weeds since then so lets hope it looks alot better here soon. Notice our huge tree on the left hand side?

My garden area next to the dogs. This picture was also about a month ago so my garden has about doubled in size since then.

YUM!

This has been one of his favorite games lately. He calls it "Tytyn Taco", or "Taco Time." He likes to be rolled up super tight and then try to get out of it. And I like to take advantage of kissing his cute cheeks while he doesn't have his hands to push me away ha ha.

I find things like this quite often when I come in to check on Tytyn after he's fallen asleep at night.

Tyrel taught him what a ninja is, so that's what he is impersonating here. It cracks us up!


This was one of Tyrel's mission companions. He had to come and do a 2 week internship type thing at the pharmacy in the hospital here and so he was able to stay with us. They had fun catching up and it was fun to listen to them talk about stories from their mission. This night he went home teaching with Tyrel to a less active family and had an awesome experience.

This boy loves shakes and smoothies. This day we made a smoothie out of white peach, kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, banana and vanilla protein powder. It was delicious!!!

So we had a HUGE gust of wind that lasted about 3 minutes last week and it cracked off a big piece of our tree and it fell over onto the fence between us and our neighbors. Its planted in a very weird spot and was kind of pushing on the fence anyway so our neighbor said he would appreciate if it was just gone. We love our neighbors and they were really awesome about the whole thing. They helped us cut it up and get the fence back up, it was a huge project. We had our home teacher come help us one night and our neighbors were always out there helping too. Its so nice to have such great neighbors. Tytyn and I were both really sad to see the tree go though. Tytyn bawled the whole time it was being cut down. He kept saying "NO thats my tree, don't cut it down!!!" He played in the tree all the time, I felt bad it had to go. 

These are my cantaloupe and watermelon plants. Supposedly melons grow REALLY well here.

My huge zucchini plants.

I've got carrots, onions, peas, green beans, zucchini, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, broccoli, cucumbers, corn, potatoes, and strawberries. Its kept me busy this summer, but I've really enjoyed my garden alot. Everything just tastes SO much better from the garden.

Working on the fence.

LOOK! I have watermelon growing! Can you see the 3 different sizes?! I hadn't looked for any growing for about a week and when I saw these on Saturday I literally screamed in joy, I was SO excited to see these little things. I've got about 5 or 6 watermelon growing and about 3 cantaloupe so far. I'm really excited for fresh melon from the garden!

4th of July trip to Washington

We got to go to Washington over the 4th of July and spend about a week with the family. We all had so much fun and were not ready to leave when the time came! Why do vacations have to go so fast?! We spent lots of time at the lake and just enjoyed each others company. Tytyn had a BLAST with his cousins. They played everyday from the moment they woke up until bedtime later that night. They all got along really well and truthfully it was kind of nice to have a break. They just entertained each other really well. I have lots of pictures that will show you a glimpse of our fun week there. Warning: Picture Overload!



Ready to get out on the boat!

Tytyn decided he wanted to go on the ski trainer after he saw Jazlyn do it, he had lots of fun doing it!

Silly kiddos eating dinner.

Jazlyn was a little water bug the whole time we were there. It was fun to play around in the water with them.

These two are so cute, they are only 2 months apart.

All of the kids LOVE their Papa so much!

Waiting for fireworks to start.

My cute hubby and I taking some video of the kids doing sparklers.


He only sat with us for about 2 seconds during fireworks, but he LOVED watching them.


Isn't my sister gorgeous!!! She is in the hospital right now having her baby! 

They did lots of fishing.

And some canoeing...until Tytyn had a little meltdown from lack of sleep ha ha.

My little stud muffin!

He said he was pretending he was on a motorcycle (very typical.)

Tytyn LOVES Jazlyn, they were pretty much inseparable the whole time we were there.

SMORES!

Cutie pie!

Look who got on the tube, Grandma! (In her clothes too) It was the only way Kelston would get on the tube.

Papa joined in the fun.

Grandma always has to get her pictures of the grandkids, this was the first one she took and its my favorite. She should have just stopped while she was ahead ha ha.

This is where it led and the kids were getting a little out of hand.

Then Grandma got after them and this was a picture of them after the scolding they got. Ha ha I love how pictures can tell a whole story.

Squirt gun fun.

Tytyn was always more than willing to help drive the boat.

We went to a War Memorial that was on display. It was actually really cool to see.


Love this picture!

I captured this lovely photo of my son's mouth ha ha.

My sweet baby boy.

Papa and Grandma and their grandkids.

Tytyn really figured out how to take advantage of having a niece and nephew who will do what you ask. Ha Ha Ha
