Park City Condo

I've put on a few posts so make sure that you read them as well. We got to go up to Park City and spend some time in a condo, Sweetwater Lodge. I spent the days up there and Ryan came up some nights. Steve (Grandpa Holt) also came up for a night to go swimming with the boys. This is a picture of Ethan in his swimming suit and blow up ring. He did so well swimming.

Here is a picture of Caleb. He is always up on the counter trying to help me cook. He was trying to open the corn and didn't know how. He is very fun to have around because there is never a dull moment with him. He is always moving, unless he is tired and that doesn't happen very much. We had so much fun there, just to get away from it all. It was also a nice time for me to relax just a little. (How do you ever relax when you have a 3 and 4 year old, unless they are asleep?)

Like I said, they had a tone of fun going swimming! I love these kids so much. They really are a ton of fun to be around. I keep getting surprised of some of the things they say. Like Caleb at dinner. "Shake, shake, shake your boodie!" HAHAHA. We had a good laugh. Ethan singing funny songs like Ryan. (They like to put in their own words.) I love watching them learn and seeing their faces when they see new things. Ryan shaved all the hair off this face the other day and Ethan asked him why he looked like Adam. He is such a crack up! Anyway, I just love being their Mom.

Fish Lake camping


We took the boys fishing at Fish Lake. This was our fist real camping trip of the year. After we go there we took the boat out for a ride. I caught a fish that was to small and Caleb was asleep on my lap. We had had a long drive to get there and of course the kids didn't fall asleep on the way. The next day it rained all day, but we still found ways to have fun. We took Ryan's new chainsaw and found some old fallen trees to cut for firewood. While we were doing that, I found a salamander. We couldn't believe it, because it was so far away from a pond. Ethan asked if he could hold the Alligator. We took the salamander to a pond on our way back to the campsite. The kids had a lot of fun. We were wishing for warmer weather so that Ryan could have gone scuba diving.
The boys in the rain.
This is the view from our campsite. Not bad, huh?

Caleb's 3rd Birthday!

Whoops wrong picture. This was before his birthday at the Holt's. They have the sprinkler on the tramp. They took their clothes off, except the underwear. (At least this time they kept it on!) Fun during the summer!

We took the kids to Wheeler Farm for Caleb's birthday. They got to milk a cow. Ethan was all ready for his turn and did a really good job. I sat with Caleb for him to milk and he didn't want to touch the cow. It was very cute. I did end up helping him with it, but he didn't want to touch it to much. Caleb choose the color of his cupcakes. He wanted yellow because he loves Bumblebee (Transformer). Ryan and TJ played frisbee almost the whole time. They really enjoyed themselves. The kids also enjoyed playing the the little stream and getting all wet. (I didn't enjoy that as much.)

Frisbee Park

This is the river by the frisbee park that Ryan used to go to a lot as a younger man. We took the kids one day just to show them around and for them to have fun. We made sure that they stayed away from the water in case you were nervous. For some reason, Ethan lately loves to put his hands up or make a funny face when I take his pictures.
They also liked the playground that was there.
This is a merry go round that was there, as you can see, Ethan likes it better than Caleb. This one is a little weird to me. How are you to say on? Not what you would call easy.
