READY!!!

Will has been wearing his life jacket for about 3 days now.

Do you think he is ready for boating season?

Christmas

Wow I did a horrible job with Christmas pictures this year. Instead we set up the video camera.

Our fun visit with Santa!

"Water Thomas" that was spotted at Costco a couple of weeks before Christmas and was talked about 100 times a day. Good thing Santa brought it!

Will's Train Party

Will was so excited to have his own train party. He still asks for a train party a few times a week.

Will was lucky to have his birthday in St George with his cousins. The favorite activity was painting their own train.

Pinning the boxcar on the train.

I love this picture of Ian. He was not pleased that Will got a remote control boat since he has been asking for one for awhile now. Will of course also got some trains.

It is fun to watch him drive his boat. Scary thing is he got the hang of it really quick. I guess I have another RC boy on my hands.

Trains and Pumpkins

We finally took our little train boy on the Heber Valley Train. We took a ride to a pumpkin patch, decorated our pumpkins, and had snacks. Will was in heaven.

Happy Halloween From Pooh and Tigger!

Andrew refused to wear his little bear hat and look at me.

Will learned pretty quick about Trick or Treating. Today he asked to put on Tigger to go and get more candy. Last night our neighborhood was so fun. It wasn't too cold and there were kids everywhere.

We had a Halloween Party at Grandma Campbell's house. Will tried so hard to get his doughnut.

Here is everyone who dressed up...everyone but me, JJ, Mikey, and my Dad. Yup we are the party poopers of the family. My favorite costume of the year was Peter as an owl.

A lot of summer fun

Will has started riding a bike. He is doing a really good job!

To start off the summer we went down to Zions for the Brown family reunion. We made quick stop over at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes and had a race down the hill.

Canoeing on the lake.

Lindsay's Fam on the lake.

Summer would not be complete without some Bear Lake fun. Here Will is playing baseball with Aunt Taryn and Addison.

Will and Charlie.

Andrew and Charlie found out the best part of Bear Lake...all of the great snacks just laying around.

We spent lots of time on the Kayaks. Will and Liz.

Relaxing in the cabin. The boys quickly made this their favorite chair.

They both love the boat.

We have lots of mud around our house. It does not take the boys long to find it.

It definitely was a short summer. Hopefully we can find something fun to do during the long winter months!

We are off to find Spring!

We have had enough of winter and decided to take off to St. George. We took the kids to Zions because it was National Parks Week and it was free. That was not the best idea Lindsay and I have ever had. The second mistake we made was thinking we could hike up to the Narrows and let the kids play in the river. We are so good at paying attention to the news about the rivers running high and the fears of flooding. Lets just say I was a little bit nervous letting Will play by the water but he had a good time playing with his cousins.

Andrew had a ball throwing sand at me.

Will followed Noah everywhere this past week. I think I might have to adopt him so I can keep Will occupied.

We tried for 2 weeks to get Will in the pool. Of course, Dad knows best and bought him some boats to play with. It worked.

Andrew loves to cruise around the shallow end. We all have been getting our fill of sun and fun! Now we are even more excited for Bear Lake season.

Look who's 1!

Poor Andrew was sick for his Birthday. He was not quite sure what to do with his cake until we gave him a fork. And of course Will was sure to get a fork for himself too.

One of Andrew's favorite toys is a stuffed soccer ball. So I though if I made him a soccer ball cake he would just dive right in. Well that didn't go as planned. I made some cake pops for the others at the party so we didn't have to eat Andrew's leftovers.

We wanted to get Andrew a trike but he loves Will's wiggle car. So he got his own.

Oh and this little guy loves dogs too. This one has a pull string, maybe it will encourage him to walk.
