August came and now its gone!!

We started out the Month of August swimming at Grandma Dixie's pool.. We love to go swim there but we cant ever seem to find time to get there. But its great when we do the kids have a great time it always a fight to get them out!!

We sure do have 2 studly little boys:)

I cant even tell you how happy this makes me when i get home from a little girls night out and find this.....

The boys had made a fort with EVERY SINGLE blanket in my house. It was a huge mess but i LOVED it. My boys love their daddy so much. We are so So lucky to have such a wonderful daddy! Daddy and Dax were out like always when there is a movie on and Kaldyr still WIDE awake:)

We have got 2 beautiful baby boys this month.. It has been so much fun to love and snuggle them and then give them back to mom when i am done..

My sister Ashley and her little family welcomed little Ike Alan Parker to their little family on August 3. Such an amazing thing to experience the birth of a baby. Such a miracle!!

Then on August 24 little Miles Jay Holmes was born!!. My brother and his wife Cayley have been waiting such a long time for this little guy to get here. They were able to adopt this sweet baby boy and i cant even explain the emotions that came with him. He is such a precious thing and and love him to pieces!!

This is baby Miles and Ike. they are exactly 3 weeks apart. Can you believe the difference 3 weeks can make. You dont realize how much they grow till you put them together. We love these babies so much.

We took a little trip to Bear Lake for the day with my mom and dad and sister and her kids! lots of fun. The kids loved the water and this little raft. Tyson drug them aroung forever on it.

Kaldyr and Papa Mick on the wave runner. He thought it was pretty cool.

Dax didnt have a life jacket that fit him good enough so he didnt get to go. These boys love their Papa Mick!!

CAN YOU BELIEVE MY BABY IS 2!!! I cant even stand it. His birtday is so bitter sweet for me. It makes me seriously SO sad that he is growing up and getting big but its so fun to see him grow and learning new things. He is such a smart little boy!

I cant even explain how much i love this little guy! He is such a blessing in my life and couldnt be happier to be his mommy!

He was so excited about his birthday. I had him all excited all week for it! He loved all his presents and especially loved his birthday cake!! Its so crazy to think i have a 2 year old!! But i love it...

Our BUSY summer so far....

We have had a fun BUSY summer so far! I LOVE SUMMER TIME!! This is going to be a super long post so enjoy:)



I could leave the boys out in the sand all day long and they wouldnt get sick of it. They play so good together when they are outside i love it..


Kaldyr graduated preschool!!! We are so proud of him he has done so good at school this year. He looked so cute with his graduation hat on he made.




This is his preschool teacher.. Isnt she just so cute. I loved her!!





Dax has found his new favorite thing. The farm toys!! He lines them all up on the window and will play forever.. I can now actually get something done in my house.

CAMPING!!! we made a slide for the kids out of a big pipe. They loved it and i kinda enjoyed it myself it was kinda fun!!

Dax was watching Tyson shoot his bow!! He thinks its pretty cool.

We took a trip to the zoo. My sister Ashley and her little family came with us. I hadnt been to the zoo forever so it was kinda fun.

Kaldyr and the girls:)

We bought the kids season passes to lagoon so we have been a couple times this year. I dont know why but i really like lagoon. So its fun to take the kids.

They ride most everything that they can. I thought for sure they would be scared on most rides but they do so good.

Kaldyr did his first year of baseball this year. It was so fun and cute. He did so good, tyson was able to coach him so that was fun for him. He is such a good little hitter!!

MORE camping. We have done A LOT of camping this year and it has been great. I LOVE IT!! Its nice to have our own fourwheeler so we can just go and do whatever whenever we want. Dax would ride it all day long if we let him. And its the best way to get him to sleep for his nap:) He doesnt like camping naps.

Isnt my little man so stinkin cute! Oh i could seriously kiss his cheeks off!! I love this picture of him. He is a true little camper:)

WEST HAVEN DAYS!! Tyson works it every year so its always part of our summer fun. This year Kaldyr was going to do the muttin bustin but at the last second he decided he didnt want to so he just did the stick horse race again..

My cute little cowboys!!

And he won second place. He was so excited about his HUGE trophy!.

We did the parade at Farr West this year for the 4th. He kids loved throwing all the candy!! Better for me they were throwing it instead of eating it:)

My handsome boys..Waiting for the fireworks!!

More camping and fourwheeling!! This little fourwheeler was the BEST thing we have ever bought. They are going to ride it till it dies!!

Daddy is teaching him early!! He hopes to have 2 hunting buddies one day:)

He loves his daddy!! do you love the boots and shorts:)

What a nerd:) but he is so funny!!

For the 24th after we got back from camping we went to Ashley's to do some fireworks for the kids!!

And thats our summer so far!! We still have a couple more camping trips planned and we are also having TWO new baby boys within the next month.. My sister Ashley is having her this wednesday and my brother and his wife cayley are adopting theirs the end of Aug we are so so excited. I can hardly wait to love and kiss these babies!!

So the lady there was telling me as i was buying my books that i could get a TON of FREE books for having a party so i decided to have one. Well i hate HATE having parties so i kept of putting it off and putting it off inviting people till the week of and she called and asked how many girls i had invited..Um none. So i quickly text a couple people and only had a couple girls come BUT i seriously got SO many FREE books it was great. Anyway that was back in November and i kept thinking about it and loving my books even more and decided i wanted to sell these books SO... I am now selling the usborne books:) AND i am having another party!!

Big boy potty....Surgery...Easter...DISNEYLAND!!!

Well i guess its time to update again... We are always busy and dont have a computer so i can only update when i go to my parents on my lunch break which isnt very often so anyway here is our month of April and its been pretty fun!!

Dax has decided he wants to potty on the big boy toilet. So i got out Kaldyr's to just give it a try and i put him on and let him sit for a bit before he got in the bath and he actually went:) I was shocked..He was so excited (not that i really think he knew what he did). So we try everytime before bath and see if we can get him trained early:)

The end of April Dax got tubes in his ear. I was really really nervous even though i knew it was a simple simple surgery i still was really nervous. Tyson had a class that day so he couldnt go with me so my sister Ashley came with (Thanks alot) I woulnt have been able to go alone. He did awesome he left me in the wagon smiling and happy and when i went back literally 15 minutes later to get him he was smiling and happy just a little tired:)

This was right after..Cute little buddy!!



EASTER....

We had a good easter this year. The Easter bunny was REALLY good to us this year:)
Coloring eggs...

Easter morning! The boys found their Easter baskets.

AND....The Easter Bunny brought us some "Easter bunnies":) They were so cute and excited when they found them in the tub..


Daxon's name is pebbles but if you ask him what his name is he tells you boo boo:) Kinda funny. so that just might be what it ends up being.

And Kaldyr named his Rudy..I have no idea where he got that from but he came up with it really fast..


DISNEYLAND..

And the best part of our month was DISNEYLAND... Tyson's little sister got to dance there so we were able to go with them. It was so much fun and i think the boys had a great time to.. Mostly Kaldyr. Dax is still a little to young so he was kinda hard but we had so much fun..


I was a little worried about the plane ride with Dax but he actually did really good.

Hunington beach! The boys loved that.

I thought this picture was really cute. Great Grandma and Grandpa Stokes and Grammy and Poppy in the background.



Best little buddies..


Do you think i could get Dax to take a nap..NOPE

GOOFY!!!

FINALLY...I had given up on trying and he got tired enough and crashed..That was a good feeling:)

Tough guy!

Kaldyr LOVED the big rides. He would have rather gone on those then the little kid rides..He was upset if he wasnt tall enough for a ride.

I LOVE LOVE this picture. SO CUTE!! Pluto was Daxon's favorite..

Sulley was MY favorite and i didnt even get my picture with him.

A bugs life ride!

My mister Incredible..

Kaldyr thought these guys were Alvin and Simon:) I dont know that he has ever seen Chip and Dale.

We even took Kaldyr on Tower of Terror. I was really nervous to take him and he LOVED it.

He was so funny. His little legs flew up so high. I was shocked he liked it so much!




We had a great time but next time we go the kids will have to be a little older:) Thanks for taking us Grammy and Poppy!!
