Yellowstone National Park

We went to Yellowstone National Park with our friends Conrad and Ali.
Conrad being the great photographer got both Josh and I as well as both boys looking at him for these pics. I think they both turned out great!

We have Super R, the blanket helped him cope with all the steam we walked through.

A very beautiful waterfall!

A coyote...

A buffalo...

The boys on the 2nd morning when it was time to get up.... Both full of smiles! Conrad and I both got a similar pic of this one. I think it is quite pretty with the steam in the background...

As long as we were a LONG WAYS from the steam he was fine.



Josh Dancing, he was singing right before I started taking the video...


Old Faithful... Such a beautiful area!


Nothing new about the buffalo crossing the road, there are signs everywhere warning you about it...

The new way Josh came up with putting S on his shoulders. If you watch Ss' face you will see nothing but smiles! Quite funny!!!

Odds and ends around the house...

R fell asleep around 3 in the afternoon and we just thought we should document it somehow... HA HA HA


R following directions very easily...


Good friends of ours gave us a pack and play. We have used it a ton already. Thanks guys!!!


Working on saying please (pah llll eeeee sssss)


R working on saying yes (ES)

"The Park"

We took the boys and the dogs to the park again. I think it tired Josh out too much...

The motocycle kid...

S decided that he needed to try on my motorcycle helmet.... Doesn't quite fit him...Especially when it is on backwards!

No worries we have not taken the boys one the bike. They are way to young for it...

Reading!!!

I was in the kitchen getting lunch dishes cleaned and I heard R in the other room.

He doesn't necessarily pay attention when we read stories to him before bed but I do honestly believe that he listens, especially after I found him reading aloud.

The girls...

My mom sent me a couple pictures of the girls' first and second day of school...

I thought I would share them with you.


This one Angellic is wearing the outfit with the tie and Gabby is wearing the blue dress. I think the outfits fit their personalities pretty well...


This one Gabby is wearing the pink shirt with black plaid skirt and Angellic is wearing the peace sign shirt with the purple plaid scarf and skirt.

I don't think we will be seeing these guys again until next spring/summer as we think we are done traveling the passes we would have to travel to get there in the winter. They get pretty sketchy..

So much to post about.....

Here is updates by pictures with a few captions on what happened in August. I will do my best to keep it updated throughout September for you all...

These two were just taken for the heck of it.


They got new slippers and were ready for bedtime with stories and all...

We went to the park and found out that S likes the color tube to crawl in... Quite funny to watch..

We made M&M Cookies...


Both of the boys like to watch Josh mow the yard...

I finished the dinosaur curatins in the boys' room...

The boys had a visit with their mom, grandma, and older brother on the 14th of August and S fell asleep on the way home.

Tried homemade popcycles for the first time... well first time at our house that is...not sure if they had them before they came to us...


Played with bubbles and lounged in the front yard...


S got a big boys bed...


We took the boys camping up at Hyalite and hiked up to Palasade Falls...











Ali and I made a Huckleberry Cheesecake...




It was delicious!!!

This video is of R falling asleep after sitting in a stroller on the hike to and from Palasade Falls... No idea why he fell asleep he just did and it was hilarious...
