BIG BOY BIKE:)

I just wanted to document for  myself that Will is riding his bike without training wheels and I am so happy.  He has tried it a couple of times, but didn't show much interest in it until today.  He saw one of his friends riding and decided he wanted to do it.  So, I helped him a couple of times and then off he was.  He loved it.  Two of his other friends recently learned as well.  This is silly to most of you, but I am super happy about it:) I will post pictures soon...

Some of Island Park:)

Such a sweet face:)

I LOVE this picture:) What cuties!

Some of the family around the campfire!

Who is the worst blogger for the month of June? ME!! I know.  We have been crazy busy this month.  Between work, church, trips, and BBQ's we haven't had a moment to relax:) It has been so much FUN:) We just got back from a trip with my family to Island Park.  We went and stayed in my brother-in-laws cabin and had a blast.  We went fishing, hiking, crossed tretorous water:), ate WAY to much ice cream, went running, played way too much cards, and just had some quality bonding time! Will got to go fishing on the boat with all the boys early in the morning and had so much fun.  We went on a hike to secret lake in Montana and he was able to catch a fish with the help of Brooks of course:) It is so beautiful there! We stayed up until 2:30 in the morning playing cards each night and it was so much fun.  The kids rode the train around the yard.  Halle loved the swing and could have stayed there forever. Will conquered his Playstation Spiderman game.  He won every level and finished the game.  He was so proud of himself it was cute:) We cooked smores on the fire ( YUM my favorite)! I need to get running with all the junk I ate ha ha! This was an excellent trip and I LOVE spending time with family there's nothing better! Brooks had a good time off of work hanging out with us and it was so nice to have him relax and just hang out:) This is seriously Will's favorite place to be and he is already talking about going back. His only complaint was the drive and when we were getting ready to leave he asked me if there was a shorter way to go home!

Working out!

The other day when I got home from running this was what I found.  Brooks was working out and the kids wanted to be just like him.  He wears a bandana and so they were too! Halle forgot clothes I guess:) She will love these pictures one day I'm sure.  You know my kids never clothed! I thought it was cute.  They were doing pull-ups and push ups.  Will wanted to show everyone how  big his muscles are:)

SOCCER GAME:)

Last week we took the kids to the Real SL soccer game.  It was so much fun! This first picture is what I got when I told Halle to smile.  Ha ha I thought it was pretty cute:) We sat up top at first and then our friends Craig and Amber ended up having us come sit by them.  It was way fun and we hope to go again soon!

We had a fun filled week! We went to the zoo, we played outside, played with friends, and got Will registered for Kindergarten YEAH!! I can't believe he is that old:) He wasn't sure about the whole thing, but he was excited once we left ha ha! The school is super nice and he was excited about his classroom.  I took these pictures this week of my kiddos and wanted to post them for the fan club:) My mom reminds me on a daily basis to put pictures of my kids on the blog so here ya go:)

We brought quarters to feed the ducks!

Will choking Hal:) Wills favorite thing to see at the zoo is the snakes.  I just hope he never asks for one because the answer will always be NO WAY!!
