Connor is vary helpful with Afton.  He is always willing to hold her or bounce her if I need him too.  He never complains if she cries during his shows he just puts his foot on the bouncer and gently bounces her until she falls asleep.

Aunt Carrie and Uncle Wayne were kind enough to take boys for a few hours to the county fair. The main goal was to ride in the monster truck, but it was no where to be found. Of course Parker was sad but Connor was happy he didn't have to ride in it. Connor got to ride the ponies then after that they feed to baby animals looked at the bears and rode down the big slides. Thank you for taking the boys.

We bought the black jump awhile ago for Jame's rc truck. The boys decided that they wanted to try jumping off of it. After a try the didn't like how high it was. They have been asking and asking us to buy the rest of the jump. James told them when he was their age he took scrap pieces of wood and made one himself. One day after school  Parker was begging me to make one so I agreed but when he found out that he didn't have to nail or screw it he didn't want to and wanted to wait for dad. I convinced him to come and make one with me and he hasn't stopped jumping since. They have been trying different heights to see which they like best. A few days later the boys decided  to make the ramp but have the black jump behind it act as a ramp. We told them it wont work and have the black jump first then the jump after.

School has begun for these two. They weren't too happy when I decided Monday morning that we should start getting into a routine for school as well as seeing how long it would take us to walk to school. Looks like we are driving to school but walking home so we don't have to worry about time.

You just never know what you will find the boys and Lulu up to after a run, sometimes its playing the Wii, monster truck jam, or even Star wars. A few weeks ago we walk into them designing a race car it wasn't quite done by the time we left so Park had to leave it while Lulu put the finishing touches on it. Today it was ready to come home. The boys followed Uncle Wayne"s advice and wore their helmet's.

 We had a family dinner to celebrate. I love family dinners there is always great food and way to many desserts. This time I was bugging the kids with my camera. 

We went to the Ogden Temple house.  I am so glad that I included ourselves on Erika's tickets. I am so grateful to live so close to family that we are able to do so much with them.

As it draws closer to the end of summer Ericka's still has a few more fun items on her list for us to do. We did a scavengers hunt at the mall. Its a good thing we had the teenage girl on our team she knew just where the good deals were and all the cheap items on our list.
