Landon and his trophy!

Carson and His T-Ball Trophy!

I am trying out my new mobile blogger capability. If this works I just might start blogging more often.

Some fun pics.

Enjoy!

All in a weeks time

Landon Learned to ride his bike with No Training Wheels. It took a few tries, but he even learned to take off all on his own too, with out me holding the bike in place. The teddy bear is his preschool class mascot who got to spend the weekend with us. If you were to stop by, first thing, he'd proudly drag you outside to show you his new trick. Carson learned to buckle himself into his car seat. What a great thing! He feels so grown up now. This along with starting preschool, has brought all sorts of smiles. He calls himself a "school boy":)
Jaxon learned to roll over and is so proud of himself! I wish I had a video of it, the boys cheering him on and Jaxon's laugh, the whole thing:)

Kentucky State Fair

One family activity the boys will never forget! They're always randomly bringing up "The Fair", the cotton candy, the rides, the games, the animals, and how they got to stay up "all night":)

Carson Hated this ride it set him right into tears, maybe it was a little much for his first ride. He mostly enjoyed the good food, Jaxon's company, and the motorcycles that we didn't get a picture of. But Landon was just getting started.

You know you're getting older when a ride as simple as this gives you a rush, when you know that years ago it wouldn't have fased you.

remember the swings when you were just little?

If you look real closely Richard and Carson are in the Belly of the Dragon with Landon.This was my favorite part. Landon and I went on crazy spinning ride just the two of us. He's just growing up too fast.

And Jaxon had a good time too:)

T Ball

We waisted no time getting Landon all signed up for T Ball. He started 2 weeks after we moved here and loved every minute of it!

Here he is with his trophy, and below with his new friend Eli.

Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory

Richard's mom spent a week with us in August. One of the things we did while she was here was visit the Bat Museum. Here are all us sitting on an enormously large Glove.It was actually pretty cool. They showed us how they make the bats from step one to staining and branding them.
Here is the larges bat in the world. I wish I knew the stats.

They even sent each of us home with our own personal mini bats.

It's just his size

4th of July Campout

So this is camping in Kentucky! The campsite was so pretty. You would cross this little bridge to get to the campsite where there was gravel instead of dirt, so we didn't even get dirty. And the ground was all leveled out for the tent.

And just about half a mile down the nicely paved road there's a lake . Jaxon hung out here under the shade for the most part and slept.
We built Landon and Carson a little shade tent while we were at it so they would have some nice cool sand to play in.

At the campsite Landon practiced building his famous card houses. Here's one in the making.
Jaxon was really good the whole time. He even slept right through the full first night. I think he likes camping as much as his brothers.
Just sitting around the campfire waiting for the photographer to pull out the marshmallows.

The boys haven't stopped talking about camping at the lake and the fire works ever since. If you call to talk to them that's all they'll talk about:)

We love it here

So much has been happening this last month I'm not even going to try to catch up with the posts. But I do need to thank my Mom and Dad for flying out here to Kentucky with me and the boys and staying the week. It was SOOOOO Much Help. Thank you Mom and Dad! By the time they left, most everything was unpacked and put into place including the decorating:)

We love it here. We love the people, the Lightning Bugs, the trees, the Cardinals, and the huge pastures, it is so Beautiful here. I love and miss the mountains, but I walk around out here smiling, just because it's so pretty! We've made lots of new friends and try to keep busy. If I'm not at a play date, or a picnic at the park I'm at the "Y" (YMCA). Which is a place were you can workout, join aerobics classes of all sorts (today I tried Zumba), swim laps, or go the water park. I can leave my kids at the daycare while I do my thing (which they love and ask for daily), or take Jaxon to the daycare and Landon and Carson to the water park with me. We all love the "Y".

Yes, as much fun as we're having and as much as we love it here we still miss everyone back home:)

P.S. We have a Web Cam now!

Pack n Up & Move n Out

Just after the blessing and partying Richard and his Grandpa (Thank you Grandpa) Jumped in the truck to head out for a 26 hour drive across country. They made good time with only one minor setback involving a 3 hour wait for a flat tire repair. They arrived in Kentucky late Monday night where they crashed at a hotel for a good night sleep. We loaded the truck Saturday morning. Thank you to everyone who helped with the loading, the cleaning, and the babysitting. There's no way we could have done this on our own.

So while Richard and Grandpa were on the road the boys and I stayed at Mom and Dads. We ran my final Utah errands, played with cousins at the park, and visited with family. We flew out early tuesday morning with Mom and Dads help. (I don't have any good pictures of the airplane ride.) But the boys loved it and were so excited to ride on the big airplane. They were really good the whole time. It was so pretty flying into Kentucky. It's so Beautiful here.

Saying our Good Bye's

Jaxon's Blessing

June 6th we blessed Jaxon at 4 weeks old. And afterwards had a little luncheon at my parents home. Thank you, thank you so much to everyone who was there to celebrate this new wonderful blessing in our lives. We are so Happy to have Jaxon with us. And thank you for being there to wish us well as we venture off into the world to start our new life in Kentucky. We will miss everyone,and getting together for holidays and special occasions. There are so many emotions both bitter and sweet wrapped up in moving away. Thanks to everyone for being there for us all of these year. We love all of you. And plan on seeing everyone back home for Christmas.



Landon's Birthday Party

Landon had invited everybody to his birthday party months ago and has been so excited about it that we couldn't possibly leave without celebrating. So we got him an Optimus Prime pinata, and Grandma Russell got him this Spiderman cake that he was so excited about. (Thanks Grandma:) He was so happy to have such a fun party.

Look at all those cousins he has to play with. We will miss that.

I wish I had taken pictures of everyone here. I forgot to in the midst of all the buisyness. Thanks for being there.
