Rhys' 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Rhys' birthday while we were in Utah. He is way into Curious George so he received a lot of presents "George" related. Ross and I got him a George that would tumble and do summer saults which my brother J.D. was opening when Rhys disappeared and when he came back he had his own play tools so that he could help open it, I guess J.D. wasn't going fast enough. It was cute that he wanted to help. We got him a cookie monster cake which was just adorable. Which at the age of two we stripped his shirt off of him to eat the cake other wise we would have had blue frosting all over his shirt. When we would ask him who's birthday it was he would say " Rhys happy day". I love this stage when they are starting to talk and you can actually understand what they are saying. But now we have entered into the terrible two's lets hope there isn't to much fit throwing.

Fishing With Grampy

On one of my dads days off we went fishing up to Deer Creek. Christian caught 2 fish with the help of mom on riling them in. He was way excited, but he was a little disappointed that they were both the same type of fish. I really enjoyed it cause I didn't have to chase Rhys around cause on a boat there was no where for him to go. Every once in awhile Rhys would get all flustered and want his life jacket off but once he noticed I was not going to take it off he stopped fussing. Gavin got several fish to bite but since he was trying to rill them in by his self he never actually caught one. But he would be the type that could fish all day long he has the patients for sitting around to get a bite, he really enjoyed it. Christian on the other hand, after he caught his fish and the excitement was gone and we were just sitting around waiting for the fish is when we heard a lot of complaining that he was bored and wanted to go. Grampy was not really able to fish because he was untangling fish lines and baiting the lines. Poor Grampy. Other than the complaining, we had a great time with Grampy and my sister Jamie fishing!!

Gavin's Birthday

You can blow them out now.


The Second Pocket Knife




I don't believe Gavin turned 8 this year. We had a little party with a few of our friends. I made him a confetti cake cause he said anything but chocolate cake cause he doesn't like it( so weird how does someone not like chocolate cake?) Ross and I decided to get him a pocket knife since he was starting cub scouts. He loved it! He took it everywhere even where he didn't even need it and that his how he lost it while we were out one day, he thinks it fell out of his pocket at subway. It broke his heart!! So Ross and I got him another one and gave it to him at his family birthday party in Utah since then he hasn't let it out of his site. He had great Birthday.
