My Silly Willy's :) LOL

I thought this was cute with Gideon's arm around his brothers shoulder's watching their quiet time movie of Dora.

Dora, Diego and little einsteins are the boys favorites that they watch a lot of the time especially on the road trip. :)

Bridger has been going around with a cupped hand and saying that his babies are in there and he will hand them to me so he can eat or wash his hands. It is actually really cute because he is protective of them and very careful with them. The joys of our imaginary friends :)

Gideon has been drawing lots of fun pictures like stick figures and trees and dragons and they are pretty good. They play so well together!

Bridger and Gideon are sitting eating chips with swim suits on and messed up hair and talking about their"strong" muscles.....They are truelly there daddy's sons. :)

Bridger just set his "babies" on the counter so he can eat his chips adn Gideon climbed up onto the counter and Bridger said, "you squished my babies!" then he said "no more killing my babies and goes on eating his chips while mommy is giggling to herself and loving the conversation her boys are having :)

Gideon's present to Bridger

So yesterday during nap time Gideon says to me "Mom I want to make Bridger a present" and I said "what do you want to make him?" He thought about it and with some ideas from me we ended up with an envelope to put the present in which was a letter. He told me what to write on a piece of paper and then he looked at it and copied it. I helped him with the word you because it takes a lot of work to write all of that so then he stuffed it into the envelope and drew a "castle" on the outside of it. Then he walks over to the bedroom door (which is closed because it is nap time) and slips the envelope under the door and then gets all excited about him finding it when he wakes up. SO CUTE! I had to share this precious moment where Gideon wanted to do something special for his brother. He is such a great boy. Good Job Gideon!!

On the phone~

This is what I am doing a lot....Talking to my wonderful husband!!!!..... and my sister got a picture of it so I thought I would put it on here and share that part of my life :) It is so nice to talk to him more often now. His graduation date is now on the 27th and so he should be home by the end of August. Yeah!!! We can't wait to be together again. :)

Ok something cute. We were reading stories for bed time last night and we were doing a book with nursery rhymes and we were at rock a by baby and it had a picture of a little bird in a bassinet in a tree with it's "mother" bird rocking the cradle. Bridger points to the baby bird and says, "a baby bird....Oh how sweet!" it was so cute to hear that come from him :) Good times with the boys. I love them so much!~

My kids being everything boy and Couponing

I gave a go at couponing at Walgreen's and got some really good deals. I think I will do better my next go around and not buy everything I want that is a good deal. :) But over all I saved $53 total. That was at Kmart to and that stuff isn't in the picture. I am not telling you how much I spent over all but I saved A LOT!~ I got 4 boxes of hair dye (for my crazy fun moods I get into) for 1.50 each. yes and 3 of them are blonde. I am going to try it, I don't know when but sooner than later :)
The boys are always having so much fun in a mud puddle at the end of the driveway. I wish I was having as much fun as they are :) Good times!

For Daddy!

Gideon worked hard to make a very 'Holey' picture. He loved punching holes in it and got them evenly distributed. He wanted you to have this picture daddy. :)




Bridger worked very hard to make you a picture and when he was finished he said "mailbox" but since I couldn't send you this I thought I would take a picture and send it to you instead. We love you Daddy!!! ~ Love, Gideon and Bridger

The boys new sleeping bags...YIPPI!!

Great deal on the bags, (Cabelas) nice and warm and lite....Can't wait for more great weather to Camp in. :)

At the park with Larissa and Ev

Larissa and I ~ It has been a true treat to see her and be with her. She is one of those friends that you could miss talking to for months adn then pick up right where you left off. She is amazing and an awesome Mom. She's expecting too and it is going to be a suprise!! Thanks Larissa for being the greatest Girlfriend a girl could ask for like 10 YEARS.





We went and hung out at Settlers park in Meridian and it was a really awesome park and very easy to loose track of your little one. They had a swings area, big toys and slides, little toys and slides, rock climbing, music instruments, splash park area and so on. It is great but you really can't relax much at this park. Your child could be all around you in like 5 seconds so if you go make sure you have the buddy system or something.

At Carl's Jr. Again

They love this play area and it helps burn off some energy too. It's been a good day. I got 2 web cams one for us and one for Joseph for a great sale price and 2 sleeping bags at 30 degree warmth for the boys for camping so we won't have to barrow anymore (thank you Becca for letting us barrow them for this last camping trip)I shaved off $10 off each bag when I told them the Internet price was $10 cheaper then what they had listed. So it definitely pays to shop before you go to the store and know exactly what you are getting and the price. :)

Boys being Boys

It was so cute. The boys would fill a bucket up with water and then take their sponge and fill up their tricycle with water. It took some doing but they had fun doing it. Then as they rode off it would leak leaving their foot prints everywhere they went. So cute!




The boys playing in the field. I love this :)

Highlights on the boys

Gideon has "how do dinosaurs say Good night" book and "the hungary caterpillar" book memorized and we will sit down and he will read them word for word with plenty of drama too. It is really cute. he read Daddy the caterpillar one over the phone tonight.

Bridger is talking pretty good now. When ever I say "I love you" he says, "Miss Daddy" He loves to wrestle with Gideon and they actually wrestle really well with eachother as long as Gideon behaves himself and doesn't throw him down.

Gideon Loves counting and singing songs. He does very well with his prayers and really puts time adn thought into them. They sometimes make me giggle in the middle of them. I love the mind of a child :)

Bridger holds his pencil better than I do I think and it feels good to him too. he loves to draw pictures.

Gideon is a goof ball. Always being crazy and silly and spontanious. I love his cute little ways.

Bridger get's this look in his face when he is excited about something that I caught on his birthday but that he will do and then he will put his hands in fists next to his face and get this face on and say "excited" in a yelling type of way.

I love my boys. They keep my life eventful and full of Joy everyday. I always find myself laughing at them being goons and how thoughtful they can be sometimes. I love you Gideon Ryder and I love you Bridger Orion!

What the boys were up to while Mom was Blogging

Grandpa just cut the lawn and the boys were very much enjoying turning themselves green and playing in the fresh cut grass. So cute and Fun!!~ I love seeing them having fun and Living and Loving Life!
