U-Pick....

Blueberries! We went and picked blueberries today, and ended up with 18 pounds! They were only 50 cents per pound so we just kept a pickin! The boys had a blast. They each got their own little bucket. Gray picked about 1/4 of a pound and was very proud of himself. The berries Cal picked just went straight to his mouth, but he did end up with a bucket full of rocks and dirt. We didn't take any pictures there, but we got a few of us washing them. As many of you know, blueberries were about the only food Grayson would eat between the ages of 1 and 2, so they are definitely a favorite around here!

Gray got to stay up from his nap to help us wash and bag them.
I think he did more eating than washing....

Not bad for only $9.
Now, we just need a bigger freezer!

We stopped at another farm on the way back and picked up so yummy peaches too.
What a great Saturday!

It's back.

Ben is excited to say that the 1982 Landcruiser is back! We decided to sell our Huyndai Sonata and take the landcruiser back to save a little money each month. I am embarrased to admit that I don't really know how to drive a stick, but hopefully that will prevent me from having to drive it. We had the landcruiser when we were dating and first married, but when we moved to Oregon, it stayed in Utah and has been passed around Ben's family (mostly just sitting in parking lots not being driven).
Anyway, welcome home Landcruiser, welcome home!

Say Cheese!

I Love our smiley little boys!

Could be a long night....

Gray fell asleep in the van around 5pm and is still asleep. It is 10pm now.
He hadn't used the bathroom since about 4.
We may have a wet bed, and a wide awake boy any minute.
Could be a long night.

He has done this once before and slept til 7 the next morning.
We'll see if we are so lucky again.....

Maybe if he would start taking naps during the day this wouldn't happen!!!

*He ended up sleeping intil 5:30am, so I was happy (not happy that I had to be awake that early)! But....I did have to change his sheets this morning:(

Ride 'em Cowboy!

Grayson and Calvin LOVE to wrestle. Now that Calvin is big, (I'm pretty sure he is actually bigger than Gray, just shorter:) they really like to have fun. It's really just rolling around on the ground with their arms around each other, but it is pretty funny!

Their new game is for Gray to be the horse and Cal to be the rider.....

I sure do love these two little boys!!!

10 years ago...

....Ben GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL! We headed down to Klamath Falls last weekend for Ben's 10 year reunion. We took the kids and met up with some of his classmates and their families for a little lunch at the park. That night, Ben and I went to the "reunion" and had a nice dinner and had a fun night out! Thanks so much Paul and Suzanne for watching the boys. They love you guys so much!

We also got to have a little fun outside while Ben and Paul were golfing. Gray and Cal both loved the horse ride Grandma took them on!

Grandma and Gray

I think this tractor is becoming the favorite toy and Grandma and Grandpa's house! Gray took them on a little drive up the driveway and down the road a little ways. They thought they were pretty cool!

Overall, we had a great weekend! Happy 10 years to Ben!

Another Cousin!

Welcome baby Taytum Jean!

Grayson and Calvin got another cousin last week!

Dani and Jefferson had their baby girl on July 29th. She was 7lbs 5oz and 21 in long.

We got to meet her on Friday and she is seriously a little doll!
As you can see she has a black head of hair!
Congrats again Dani, Jefferson, Carter, and Andi!
