First fishing of the year

Ok I admit it.  I only really go fishing to take pictures.  Because I LOVE This spot and my kids let me take their picture with a fish.  We totally dropped the ball with poor Easton through.  Bryan put him in his carseat without pants on and I forgot my diaper bag... so I had to wrap him in my coat! The water was really high though so we only got one fish.  

 My Grandpa's hat brings him good fishing luck.

 My new favorite picture.

Spring Snow

We have had a lot of crapy weather this month.   I'm so ready for spring! But this snowstorm the other day was beautiful.  And I only had to bribe Stockton with some candy to run outside so I can take a few photos of him in it. 

Cookout

A couple of weeks ago it was so warm outside my boys kept begging us to let them set Blake's tent up and let them sleep in it. I knew it was going to be way cold at night because it's March in Utah! But they are 8 and 10 so I let them figure out that mom was right on their own.  After the tent was up Ty really wanted a fire.  Since my garden is empty at the moment we found some branches that fell from my neighbor's tree and made a fire.  Bryan was going to go for a run and told me I wasn't able to start a fire.  I grew up with a dad who was a professional boy scout and worked and lived at scout camp most of the summers of my young life so I had to prove him wrong.  Bryan is a pyro.  Like seriously.  He LOVES fire.  And apparently so does Tyson.  We started the fire and Bryan went to town with it.  He ended up burning a HUGE branch that fell from the tree next door until it was ashes.  He was up until like 1am watching it.  Seriously a pyro.  But before it got dark we decided to have our dinner around the campfire.  

 I finally bought a remote for my camera.  Even though I failed and this is blurry it's a rare photo of my whole family so I kept it.

 This is Bryan's you take too many pictures face.

 The aftermath.  I consider dirty feet a sign that they had a fun day.

A Day in the life of Easton

Do you have any idea how hard it is to do a day in the life of a baby? Eat, cry, play, sleep, repeat.  But I tried anyway.

 How I find him every morning

 Reading with his brother

 Off to the store! I'm not brave enough to bring my big camera to the store.  It's enough just to take my three boys.  His carseat takes up the whole basket in the cart so it makes it hard to buy food for 5 boys.

 He napped for all of 10 minutes on the way home from the store and while I put food away.  Now he wanted to play!

 And play some more... at least he can sit!
