Madsens Ranch

This morning we visited our friends the Madsens Ranch! They were so kind to let the boys play with all the animals!

The Cowboy hat was a hit :)

Gavin loved chasing the sheep! Poor little guys!

They got to go in the chicken coop and find an egg.. it was still warm. Gavin was stoked!

Doesn't this adorable!! I loved Bruins cowboy get up!

It made me miss the country feel I grew up with.. I hope someday I can have my kids experience country life living.

Splash Park

Holly and I took the boys to the Splash Park today... and boy did they have fun! It was a perfect day.. not too hot, not too cold. They just enjoy being with each other so much I'm so sad we're leaving tomorrow! We've had a WONDERFUL time... I soooo wish we lived closer! Maybe someday... (dreaming)... anyway, here's the pics from today! (Sorry for the pic overload recently... I want the hubby to see his boys!)

We finished the day off with some Thrifty's ice cream! YUM!

Cousin fun

My sister Holly and I took our boys to this fun little carnival like theme park next to the zoo. They had a fabulous time riding the lady bugs,

the helicopters,

the race cars,

the boats,

the roller coasters,

the train,

and ended the day with a little water fun!

All the while, my gorgeous mom followed along with this cute little sleeping guy... yes, he slept the whole 3 hours we were there :)

I wish I lived closer... it's so fun having my mom and sister to play with!!

We're busy...

.. enjoying time with Grandma and Grandpa...

watching BYU football games... (and general conference of course)

..riding Grandpas old 4 wheeler (really fast)

and Grandpas tractors..

Snuggling with Grandma...

...enjoying WARM weather (hooray! I was starting to forget what it feels like!)

and eating out of Grandpas garden! (I've never gotten Gavin to eat a carrot before... amazing what an idolized Grandpa can get him to do!)

Many more pictures to come soon!

(Aunt Holly and Uncle Phil live just down the way... lots of picks of these little cousins playing together!)

Drew's blessing

This cute boy finally got his baby blessing on Sunday... yeah, things here have been a little crazy so it's a little late! :)

His daddy gave a beautiful blessing! This sweet spirited boy has a lot in store for him!

I'm so thankful for a husband who holds the priesthood and loves his family!

First laugh and tooth!

I forgot to mention... so I got 2 surprises from Drew on our long 5 1/2 hour flight out there! He gave me his first laugh as I was nibbling on his toes... so cute! And I found he had broken through his first tooth already!! I just looked back to when Gavin got his first tooth ( which I thought was pretty young) but he was 6 1/2 months old then!) Drew's only 3 1/2 months old! Crazy kid... so advanced already!!

Night time Maui

Nights were difficult to do much cuz these little guys were ready for bed and so were we! But we did get out to a luau one night.

Gavin was so excited when they invited anyone that wanted to learn to hula to come up to the stage. Of course he insisted on having Kristen go with him!

How awesome where these pina coladas?! Yum!! I don't even know how many I drank!

Gavin LOVED the fire dancers! They really were awesome!

We decided we needed to make this Hawaii trip an annual thing with them! We had such a great time! Thanks again Fullers for coming with us! We had a WONDERFUL time!

Day time in Maui

The days were filled with time on the beach, shopping, lots and lots of snow cones with ice cream, and naps on the go! Gavin was obsessed with Garrett and Kristen. I'm sure every where we went people thought he was their son... he NEVER left their side!

These poor little guys spent a lot of the time in the shade or in the beach tent sleeping :) They were SUCH good little guys.. just rolling with the flow of whatever we wanted to do!

Poor Gavin was so tired by the afternoon each day. He would crash the minute we slowed down.
