Hayden so excited to see all the pumpkins.

Boys excited my mom and tony were there.

Weekend Fun

We had such a WONDERFUL weekend. Friday night we took the kids and met up with my mom and tony and a few friends of ours at the Marysville fair. It was the night of the tractor pulls and the kids liked it for about 15 minutes. So my sister, mom, and I took Brightyn and Hayden to ride some rides. We didn't have the camera so I don't have a ton from once Ryan came over with us.

On Saturday I had to work in the morning but then came home cleaned a little bit and took the kids boating with my dad and his friend Debbie, my sister and her husband. Hayden LOVED the water and tubing but Brightyn only liked to drive the boat with Papa. Mac HATED her life jacket so when we stopped I would take it off of her but the boat put her to sleep until we stopped. Ryan, Cody, and Hayden went tubing.

On Sunday we went to church then came home and chilled all day until we had the missionaries over. Then we ate with them and played some cornhole and had funnel cakes for dessert. It was a long weekend and it was great. And of course the only pictures I get of Hayden are him being mean b/c he was sleeping during the Bright and Mac shoot.

This is why I don't have time to do anything else. I am a constant referee.

We're gearing up to take the kids camping this coming weekend for my birthday. Its hard to believe that I'll be 24!!! CRAZY!!! I remember just turning 16. NUTS!!!

He's 3!!!

So time goes by so fast. Its hard to believe that Brightyn was 3 on Friday. It seems just like a few months ago we were celebrating his 1st birthday. Its so hard and great all at the same time to see him growing up. For a 3 year old he is so smart and I am so surprised to see how much he learns on a day to to day basis. On Saturday we had a small birthday party for close friends and family. He had a lot of present for just a small group being there. Brightyn probably didn't enjoy his presents that much this year because I told everyone to get him clothes because that is what he needs. He's growing like a little weed. Brightyn lights us each day with his perfect smile and his wonderful attitude. He also got to have a birthday party with his friends from daycare but I don't have any pictures of that but Hayden and Brightyn were talking about that all night on Friday.

We started the day not so happy
