October Zoo Run

We went to the zoo with Grandma Susan as Ethan had the day off due to cut backs at school. We had a great time running around looking at all the animals. They got some ice cream there. Ethan had to have grape flavor and Caleb bubble gum.







Caleb on the spotted leopard. He was excited to have me ride with him! Caleb loves elephants, well at least that's what I thought before we went there. After I asked him what he liked the most and he said the rhinoceroses because it has a horn! How funny is that!

Ethan was so funny. He wanted me to take a picture of everything! He really wanted me to take this picture of him. I didn't know if it was going to turn out, but I think it looks great. Ethan still loves the lions, but we didn't see any there.

Hot sun!

We went out and rode motorcycles in the hot sun this summer. I think that everyone was tired after. It was really hot but we did have a great time. We are going to be going riding some more this year. We are liking our new sport! We hope that everyone is having a great summer.



Here is Ethan looking like Larry the Cable Guy. I found my old vest from deer hunting at my parents house. Ethan wanted to ware it all over the place. He just looks so funny in this outfit.

Ethan 5th Birthday!

Ethan had a really fun 5th birthday. We all went swimming at the Kearns pool and after went to the park for cake and presents! We wanted to say thanks for everyone who came! Ethan was so excited to turn 5 that he asked on the Monday if he could go to school now that he was 5. I had to let him know that he has to wait for school to start.

Spring and Summer

Here are Ethan and Caleb riding their bikes at the park in the spring. They have been loving the park and going to the skate park as well. Ethan rides his bike so fast! Caleb doesn't really care all that much about going fast right now. He likes to stop and look at everything.

Moving along...

Well a lot has been going on in our lives over the past few months. First Ryan had a birthday and turned 32! Then I got a job and MedUSA doing medical billing. This has been both hard and exciting The boys now go to day care and has been harder on Caleb than Ethan. Every day that I talk to Caleb on the phone he sounds so sad. He always asks if I can pick him up now. That has been really hard, but he seems to be doing a lot better with it. Ethan likes to be with his friends when he goes, but has a hard time now and then. I sure love my kids!
Work has been good and I'm doing well at it. It have been interesting to get back involved in a work environment. Though as hard as it is to leave the kids everyday, it is also fulfilling to be working on something else as well.

Ethan has been really excited about Ryan's new ipod that he got for his birthday. Ethan is very good at playing all the games on it. His faviorte is the motorcycle game. He is better than I am. What a fun time. Our kids are so big that they are over 100% in their height and weight. I can't believe how fast time has gone and how big they are.

I'm so glad that I get to be their Mom and have these special boys in my life. They really keep me going. (They are very active!) They are so excited for Halloween that we already bought them a month ago. I can't wait to take them treat or treating this year. Ethan is going to be a tiger and Caleb is going as a spider. They are so cute!

Ryan has started his own business RJ Holt Construction. He is enjoying working for himself. We are very proud of him for taking this on. He is such a wonderful, husband and father. We all enjoy having him around with us.

24th of July

We have been moving things around lately. We moved some of Grandpa Roly's things out of the house and down to his new house in Salem, UT. Then we moved our things out of the storage unit and put in into the house. It only took two cars, Ryan's truck and my van, and ten trips! We have been pretty tired over the whole thing. Then we also helped Ryan's Uncle Johnathan move things into his new house as well. I think that we have been done nothing but moving things around for the past few weeks.
Caleb on the 24th of July in Wallsburg park. We took the kids up to enjoy the party that the town where I grew up has every year. They really enjoyed it. They have hamburgers and a rodoe there as well. Always a good time for the kids.

Here are the boys and Haley and Maddie on Grandpa Breeze's four wheeler in the praride. They got to go in the two mile paraide this year with their cousins. They loved waving at all the people.

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.
