Star Wars

In a galaxy far far away ... or Pottery Barn Kids... Payton and Cole dressed in Star Wars shirts and waited to meet some of their favorite Star Wars heroes.
Cole thought he was so big to have a star wars shirt just like Payton's.
Cole was just a little nervous once he finally got inside. Payton was thrilled. He got to give Darth Vader a high five and knuckles from Obi Wan.

Payton had the time of his life. He is a huge Star Wars fanatic! He's got all the movies memorized and plays with all the action figures & video games. Just wait until you see his Halloween costume.

Mom's Shoes

These two silly boys of mine have been fighting over the most unusual thing lately, my shoes. Not just any shoes, high heel sandals. Cole puts them on and parades around the house and just laughs.

I don't know if I should be worried or impressed that they can walk in such high heels.

What funny boys!

Happy Grandparents Day!

Today is Grandparents Day. Payton & Cole would like to wish their Grandma's and Grandpa's the very best on this special day. Here are a few fun memories they have with their Grandparents.

We miss you all and can't wait to see you soon!

First Day of Kindergarten

I can't believe my little Payton started kindergarten today. He was just a little nervous about a new school and making new friends, but really excited for new school clothes and a new back pack! He has afternoon kindergarten so all morning he kept asking how much longer he could play until school started.
Finally, the time came to leave for school and he was so excited!

Big "cheese"

Payton & Cole had lots of fun playing on the kindergarten playground. Cole thought he was such a big boy going to school too!
Then it was time to go inside for class to start. Payton was pretty worried that I was leaving him and started to get a couple tears in his eyes. Cole could tell Payton was upset and started crying. I gave Payton a hug and told him not to worry, have fun! I carried Cole out the door while he was crying and saying, "P-Dawg, home,

P-Dawg..." He cried the entire way home and didn't stop until he called Daddy at work.

First day jitters are never fun. He's got the best teacher and has an awesome year ahead of him!

Grandma's House

Last weekend we made the long trip to Twin Falls for Tyler's missionary homecoming. The boys love going to Grandma's house. They got to play outside all day- going for rides in their Jeep, four wheeling with Dad, feeding the dogs with Grandpa... lots of fun for little boys!
Cole was thrilled to see Luke again. He missed his little cousin a ton!

Payton was giving Cole driving lessons. Cole is a great driver as long as crashing into the fence isn't a problem.
More outside fun!
Payton, Kristy and Cole playing with Grandpa's new puppy, Kirby.
Best of all Greg got to come home for the day. It was awesome to see him doing so well.

Kingston Ranch

Brian's office had the funnest summer party this last weekend. One of the partners has a huge ranch on the Nevada California border. We drove out Saturday and spent the afternoon jumping on the tramp, swimming in the pond, feeding bunnies, playing with the dogs and horses, swinging, and sliding on the bounce house. We all had a great time!

Cousins

Payton & Cole had so much fun playing with their cousin Luke! They got to spend a lot of time together in the hospital waiting room. I'm sure the nurses were glad to see us go. We had races up and down the hall. The boys loved to ride the elevator and push the buttons. I think the best was watching the boys play on Luke's truck.
