Playing Catch Up!

So we have been doing a lot the last little bit but my internet is so slow I keep putting off posting!  I found my old journal the other day I kept while in college and it made me sad I don't do as well writing down my life.  I wrote almost everyday from the time I was in Jr. High (although I feel like throwing those journals out, so dumb) until I finished college.  I guess it's because I am too busy and tired now when I go to bed to write.  Don't worry- I won't inform you on ALL the things I do but I can at least post some of the fun things we have been up too.  
A week ago we decided we needed to go do something fun before Bryan jumps back into school so we took the boys up in the mountains for a cook out.  I love doing things like this with just our boys.  I hope they remember these things as good memories. 
This reminds me of the days when my dad was a camp director at a BSA camp.  When I was a kid my hands ALWAYS looked like this.  The boys loved the dirt.  I'm surprised they didn't roll around in it. 
Bryan and the boys. He is such a fun dad.   
My cousin got married and this was us at the wedding breakfast.  
Blake has really come alive lately!  The kid can kick a soccer ball at a dead run all the way down our yard- which is pretty long.  He doesn't even  stop, I've never seen a kid his age take to sports like he does.  He has a LOT of attitude.  One minute he is as sweet as they come the next he is ripping out my hair and clawing my face.  I hope this phase ends soon.  Most of the time he is my sweet baby.
My sis in law ran a half marathon.  What a women!  It was just a year ago she had a baby too!  Not the baby in the picture... that is our nephew.  Way to go Becca!!  
Bryan and I took the boys to the local zoo and park.  Blake loves the swings.

I'm way impressed by people that can run. Let alone 13 miles! Wow. I love the dirty hands, it shows that the kid has had a good time! NOT on the xbox or other device.

man I have not had camp fire food in forever. the camping/hiking here is somewhat boring. I love when husbands play with the kids, they are so good at it.

I love that you guys went and did something fun before Bryan had to go to school. We need to do something like that as a family before it gets too cold, summer went by way to fast.

I can't believe how big Blake is getting! Is he going to be two or one this oct?

And Micah too counts his gun as one of his children. He will tell people we have three kids! I ask him where in the world he is getting that number and he says his gun! So I am glad it didn't get stolen either!
