Since I am getting all my posts done from July to now I need to say that we are going to be having our third baby in December. We are actually due New Years Eve. So we have ten weeks left. I believe that most people that read this already new this but just incase. No we don't know what we are having. Tyler and me are hoping for a girl and Jay ofcourse is wanting a boy. Mason really has no clue.

Tyler has learned how to do a front flip on the trampoline and thinks it is the coolest trick ever. He had to have me go out to take pictures of him. It is pretty funny to watch him do it. He ofcourse can't land it but it is still a front flip most of the time. Sometimes it is a front had spring. You all should see him do his back flip. That will give you a good laugh. Mason thinks that he has some good tricks too, but he just has some funny was to fall down.

Tyler and Mason sure did have fun with Uncle Rodney the last few days before he left on his mission to the Dominican Republic. He had this twenty-two that they shot for a couple of days. They loved it because he would help them to shoot too. He played bucking bulls on the trampoline which all kids love to do. Tyler and Rodney went hunting one day. They didn't get anything but Tyler thought it was the greatest thing. We went to Provo on the 22nd and said

goodbye to Rodney at the MTC. Tyler kept kissing Rodney on the cheek. Rodney was so embarassed and told him boys don't kiss. It was sad. The boys and me are really going to miss him. I can't think about him not being around because it still makes me sad and I am hoping that it is because I have no control over my emotions at this point in my life.

For those that are into the hunting thing here is the deer that Jay shot during the rifle deer hunt. He said it only measures 25 wide. He has it at the taxidermy so he can hang it although I don't know where it is going to hang. The little boys were very excited. I guess I shouldn't say little boys because even the big boys were excited about it. Mason said when he saw it "it stinks like poo." Tyler ofcourse couldn't have been more proud of his dad.

Now these two look so cute and innocent, but they are not a few short moments after this cute picture of Mason and his cousin Reagan was taken they proved to not be as cute and innocent as this picture makes them look. They had been upstairs with me and Grandma and said they were going to go touch the chickens that we had cooling in the kitchen sinks, so the sinks were plugged. So they headed downstairs and then I came a couple minutes after them. When I came around the corner into the kitchen I was met with a very big surprise. The kitchen water was running and the water was running over the edge down the cupboards and all over the floor. I asked them water they were doing as they were running around and around the kitchen table soaking wet and their simple answer was "making puddles." It was kind of hard not to laugh at there response. It took us an hour to clean all the water up and those two had to sit on chairs the whole time we cleaned. They still thought they were funny and took their diapers off. The water was in the drawers, under the fridge and dishwasher. It had leaked into the bedroom below the kitchen and we had to punch wholes in the ceiling to get all the water to drain out of it. We had to use the carpet shampooer to get the floor dry. They were so lucky that the bedroom the water dripped into was the only room in the basement that Grandma had not redone. So we have learned not to let those two be with water in the house. It is not a good combination.

I don't know what the deal is with boys and water but I can't keep my boys out of the water. They always want the sprinkler under the tramp or think they need to run through the sprinkler and the dump trucks always need to be washed don't they? I have found it is almost easier to just let my boys out in their underwear or swim shorts so that I don't have as much laundry to do later. Maybe it is just my boys but I am sure hoping that others find they have the same problem.

Mason is the biggest roman noodle fan there is. Anytime you ask him what he wants to eat he wants noodles or on a rare occasion pizza. He loves to use his hands and cram them in his mouth. It is the one thing they eat that I allow them to be slobs with. We always have to remove the shirt for this though.

Tyler learned how to ride his bike this summer which I was surprised at how fast he learned. He loves not having to have the training wheels and put many miles on his bike this summer just trying to get better at it. He thought that it was a big acomplishment when he figured out to ride off the sidewalk to the road and not crash.

The week after we camped with Jays family we went camping with my Family. The boys still had not had enough. They love being in the mountains and being able to get as dirty as they want and not get in trouble. They brought a hamick and the kids loved that. Grandpa pushed almost all of the Grandkids in it. Their uncle Rodney brought up horses so they got to ride horses, so now Tyler thinks he know everything about horses. They had a river to play in and spent a lot of time there. The adults had our shooting contest which Jay has won for, I think it has been the last two years. The kids and adults love playing games the whole time we are there and everyone has their turn making a meal for everyone else. It was fun but not long enough.

This summer we went Camping with Jays family and our boys were definitely the dirtiest kids there. They had so much fun and loved riding the four wheelers.
