Family Fun

Last night we had a lot of fun spending time together as a family! Shane and Clarissa's fam and Josh went boating on Hagg Lake, then we found out that my Mom and Dad were there to try and go sailing so Jay and I thought, why not go and just hang out and have some fun! So we packed up and headed for the lake! It was a beautiful evening and we got to play some frisbee, throw the ball around, the boys enjoyed the squirt guns, we had fun throwing rocks, then hooked up with Shane's clan for a boat ride, some swimming, and Jayson got to sky-ski! He even managed to break out a backflip! It was so much fun to be out having fun as a family. =)

A Rowley Rig

SO, after realizing that our truck was going to keep needing work and more things were starting to not work very well, we gave it some thought and decided to trade in our falling-apart expedition for a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins Turbo Diesel truck! We got a great deal and we're so excited that we got something more reliable that should last for a looong time and we're very happy with it! Jayson is LOVING it! Of course, as a Rowley boy he loves his trucks and he has always wanted a diesel and now he has one. It's easy for me to drive and the kids fit great in the back with room for one more up front with us (for in the future of course...) and it's been great! The boys LOVE it and every time we get in to go somewhere they say many times how much they love the new truck. We caught Tucker just staring at it out the window this morning for the longest time! They also love the "small-ish" doors and have fun getting in and buckling up to go for a ride in the cool truck. They're just like their dad! We're definitely enjoying this Rowley Rig!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the three most wonderful dads ever!
Love you guys!!

Woohoo!!! =)

Happy Birthday Tuck-man!!

Tucker turned four years old today!! He's been waiting aaaall year and June 12th finally came! We had a lot of fun today! Daddy took Tucker out to lunch and then to the store to pick out a toy. He came home with Woody and Bullseye and went straight to playing playing. For dinner we went to the Out of This World Pizza and Play place. It was so great to have lots of family there to celebrate with us and we all enjoyed yummy pizza and crazy kids running everywhere having a blast! It was so great. After that we headed up to the Rowley's for presents and cake! Tucker made out with lots of Batman, Spiderman, and Toy Story loot and lots of fun outdoor toys and sporty toys and cool clothes and he loves it all! I made him a Batman cake and we all enjoyed the fun. As soon as we got home Tucker was in his new Batman jammies - complete with awesome cape. His mask made it that much more cool. All around it was a really fun birthday!

Happy Birthday to our big four-year-old!!

Havin' fun shootin' guns

Last weekend we so enjoyed spending time together as a family! Jayson is finally done with his finals and he now just looks forward to his journeyman license exam coming up. It's so great that he's finally done! For his graduation gift he got a Ruger 10/22 rifle with ammo, a case and a cleaning kit. Of course he had to go try it out! On Saturday we went with Shane's family and Kim and Karen up to Brown's camp for a day camping trip. We got there around 1:30 and settled in while the kids explored and played with dirt, rocks and sticks. Not too far from where we set up camp is a place to shoot so we all headed there and set up the targets and had some fun! Kim brought his 22 rifle and Jayson had his new 22 and his 357 mag revolver. Shane brought his pistol and his AR-15 and we all had a blast! The kids loved climbing up and down the hills and throwing rocks and playing in the dirt. All the adults took turns shooting all the guns. Jett got to shoot the 22 for the first time! At dinner time we went back to camp and built up a big fire and enjoyed chili, hotdogs, s'mores and good company. Shane and Jayson set up some cans and logs for some more shooting and Shane got out the AR-15. We went home when it started getting dark and the kids were tired and ready to go to bed. It was so fun to go shooting and I'm sure we'll go out some more if the weather ever decides to dry out and get sunny! =)

Handsome boys.

Jayson with his new Ruger 10/22 rifle - tons of fun!

The kids, esp. Jett, loved climbing up and down this hill!

Of course the kids swarm when Grandma breaks out the fruit snacks!

Dallas loved being outside in the dirt! He wandered all over the place and had a lot of fun with the rocks, sticks and dirt!

It's so fun to shoot big guns!

New Specs

I finally got some new glasses yesterday! My old ones were ooold and broken and I haven't been able to wear them for a while now, so on Wednesday, Jayson helped me pick out a frame and yesterday I picked them up. It's nice to have cute glasses now so I don't always have to wear my contacts. So, here they are! They're black and white with Target-like circles on the side. I like 'em. =)
