Tony's Grove

Casey took some time off of work for Labor Day. I had to work quite a bit & can peaches, but we managed to squeeze in a family hike around Tony's Grove.  It was the day after Labor Day around 5:00 when we got there and there was only 2 other cars.  Talk about PERFECTION!

We thought that Caleb would get a kick out of the little cave at Rick's Springs.  We stopped & told him we were going to check out a cave and he said, "Are there any bears?"  How cute.  We all started to get out & noticed that Luke had gotten sick in the Canyon and vomited.  G R O S S.  Of course - I think it was the first time that I went somewhere without packing extra clothes for the babies.  Lesson learned.  Casey had to wash out everything in the springs.  Don't drink the water.

Lexi's squinty smiles are so cute.  Look at those cheeks!! 

I love this picture.  I think I take too many pictures.  Oh well.  I don't plan on stopping!

Can you say cutest selfie in the history of selfies???  Look at that little boy!!!

The only thing that could make this picture perfect is having Lexi in it!!  She was strapped to Casey's back though.

Caleb thought this bumblebee was pretty neat.  We also saw a lamb.  Random??  We asked Taylor what her favorite part of the hike was and she said, "Oh...just the cows and the chickens and the roosters."  What??  Were we on the same hike girl?

Caleb thought he was pretty awesome taking a whole stack of pringles and taking a bite.  He was cold & didn't have his jacket so he put on Rylee's.  He was cracking himself up.

The most adorable thing happened on the way home.  Caleb took a book out of his backpack & read it to his sisters.  Cherish the moment indeed.

June!

This boy.  This cat.  So cute!!

Luke loves his puppy from Grammy.  He will suck on the little guys ear when he is falling asleep.

One afternoon we went to Logan.  We stopped at Little Ceasers for some PIZZA PIZZA and then headed to first dam to feed the ducks.  EVERYONE had the same idea - so the ducks weren't hungry at all!  We will have to go another day.

Lukie loves to eat!!  You strap him into the high chair & he gets pretty excited.

These girls.  Their relationship.

How would it be to be born with your best friend?  I hope they always love each other!

Watching the mobile one night.  Well - Lexi was trying to watch.  Luke obviously wanted to play instead!

No one puts baby in the corner.  Just kidding.  I did one day.

A foot massager can entertain little ones for quite a while!  A wise investment.

My Grandma and Grandpa Hunsaker celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary.  That is a long freaking time!!!!  They are amazing people.

We went on the Logan River trail one day.  I LOVED that the sidewalk they have is large enough for the double stroller AND we weren't in anyone's way!!  It was a beautiful walk.

School Starts!

My little Caleb Bo Baleb is a 1st grader!  I can't believe it.  I am so nervous for him.  School lunch can be so intimidating....going to school ALL DAY can seem so long sometimes.  I was explaining to him that he would eat lunch there and he started to cry.  He said, "But mom!  I am going to miss you so much!"  Seriously - does it get any sweeter than that?  Makes me feel like I am doing something right.

CALEB'S FIRST GRADE FAVORITES

Color: All of the boy colors

Food: Cheese sandwiches
Drink: 7-11 Sluprees

Activity: Swimming at the North Ogden Pool

that is 2-3 more pounds than his 3 year old sisters!

 

Caleb will be starting at a new shool this year.  Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning.  It is in Perry.  There isn't a bus that takes him, so Casey or I will have to take him & pick him up every day.  Hopefully I can find a car pool!  I am hoping that we are making the right decision by switching Caleb to this school.  They have to wear a uniform....there are only 25 kids per class....they believe in a hands on learning experience....each family must volunteer 30 hours per school year. 

Marvelous May

The branding festival took place.  Tamara watched Luke & Lexi so that I could take my older kids out.  It's a right of passage!  We found some ugly baby birds (one pooped on me), Ashley broke out in massive hives, and I had to teach the girls how to squat.  Good times!

These little cuties turned 7 months!!

Who needs toys when you've got your toes?

These crazies still have a hard time going downstairs to play.  At least they made it al the way down this time.

We broke out the pool!!  Summer had officially started.

This little sweetheart and her sleeping poses.  It makes my heart so happy.

Luke loves the jumper!!! 

Bear lake Birthdays

All Casey wanted to do was go to Bear Lake for his birthday.  Birthday's are about wishes being granted, right?  So it happened.  I had to work that morning so we weren't able to leave until about noon- but I bet we missed a lot of boat crazy enthusiasts through the canyon so it's all good.

Taylor LOVED this place!!

We invited Casey's parents and brothers to meet us.  Brad & Mona and Colby's family was able to come.  Hopefully Shelby's family can make the trek next time!

This boy gets braver and braver and I love watching his adventurous side come out.  Not to crazy - and this mom is all right with that!

Rylee preferred to play on the sand rather than in the water.

Babies & the beach are hard.  Sand was in pretty much EVERY crevice of Luke and Lexi's little bodies.  Luke is adorable when he falls asleep.  Melts my heart.

My babies LOVE Grandpa Brad's beard.  They can't get enough of it!

At the end of the day Rylee, Taylor & McKenna loved chasing the seagulls and feeding them Doritos.

Happy Birthday to Casey & Logan.  I hope they had a fun day!

Freeze Family Pictures

For Christmas 2013 all of the Freeze boys chipped in for a gift certificate for Brad and Mona for family pictures.  Mona grew up in Mantua and had been wanting to have pictures in the poppies. In June this year - it happened!!
