Kyler's 2nd Birthday!

I can't believe this little man is only 2. He seems so much older than that to me. He thinks he's just as big and old as his older brothers too.

We had a fun birthday with Kyler this year. The Saturday before his birthday, Grandma and Grandpa Custer took him to Build a Bear. They said that he wasn't into it at all. He did end up picking out a dog but his most favorite thing was the stroller. He wanted that to push his dog around in. He loves that dog. He was so excited to get it home and show his brothers. He slept with it and had to show it how he went potty and everything. It's really cute!

The Sunday before his birthday he got to share his celebration with me, with the Custers. He got spoiled as always!

Then on his actual birthday he got to go to lunch with mom and her friends at Red Robin, then played with his brothers all day. They gave him a backpack just like theirs. We made a cake that Porter and Ryker picked out for him and had some before we went to bed.

Mom and Dad got him a big bed for his birthday. We needed to get him in a bed so we can get Bridger in the crib. He loves his big bed too. He has to tell everyone that it's HIS bed!

Then the Sunday after his birthday we celebrated his birthday with the Olsons. Got more spoiled!

When we were at Red Robin the nicest thing happened. Kyler got a balloon and everything while we were there since it was his birthday. There was a couple sitting by us and when they got up to leave the guy walks over to us and asks Kyler if it's his birthday. He said, yep! The guy hands him a dollar bill and tells him happy birthday and to go get himself something for his birthday. Kyler tells him thanks and thought that dollar bill was the best thing ever. He had to carry it around with him and wouldn't let me take it. We went and picked out a car that he got with it. He loves that car too! Such a nice couple! Sure made Kyler's day!

Happy birthday Kyler! We love you!

Bridger's Blessing

We blessed Bridger on August 7th. Mike did an awesome job like always! He's such a great dad! After the blessing we had a luncheon in my sister in law, Alicia's backyard. She has a way nice big backyard. It was a great place for everyone. Things were good until we put all the food out on the table and then the flies all came. There were so many, it was crazy! Mike and I didn't think of flies when we decided to have the luncheon outside. We all ate and just had to keep the food covered. It worked out. The worst thing is, I didn't get any pictures of anything. Mike and I were so busy trying to get the food all ready and then we ate and everyone was gone and I didn't get any pictures. My sister in law, Andrea did make a way cute cake that she sent me some pictures of. All and all it was a great day even though we didn't get any pictures!

Fun at the cabin!

Mike and I have been wanting to go up the cabin all summer. Seems like with Mike's work and school, there was always something and we never made it up. We finally were able to go up last week. We never go up during the week cause we're usually working but we were able to go up during the week this time. I love being on maternity leave! It was so nice up there during the week. So quiet and not hardly anyone up there. We had so much fun too! We really didn't want to come home. Definitely will need to plan another trip up there before I go off of maternity leave.

We took up Porter's BB gun and the boys' bows. They were out shooting those the whole time we were up there. We saw some deer and Porter was determined to shoot one. It was really funny! He kept telling Dad that it needed to be deer season so he could shoot a deer.

Watch as Porter and Ryker try to sneak up on the deer!

We took up the 4 wheelers too and went on some rides. It was cooler than I was expecting and you really had to bundle up for rides. We had to put on all the jackets up at the cabin. So poor Kyler had to wear a pink jacket. Atleast he was warm!


We also had a fire and made some smores. They were delicious! Mike and I heard of a new way to make smores, with a Reese's peanut butter cup. Very good! Best way to make smores for sure!



We had a lot of fun and can't wait to go up again! Such a nice, relaxing, much needed little vacation!

4th of July

The 4th of July is always so much fun. One of my favorite holidays. It's always a busy holiday but tons of fun. We went to the balloon festival first thing in the morning on Saturday. Mike worked at the hospital the night before and got off just in time for it. So, I loaded all the boys up and met him there. We have kind of made it a family tradition of going every year. The boys love it too!

We had a BBQ at my parent's house with everybody on Sunday. Then of course we did fireworks. Usually it's complete chaos of fireworks for about 15 minutes and then that's it. This year was a little more mild. The kids all wanted to light them. So, they would line up and Kristy would hand them a firework and then the Dad's helped them light them off. Then Jared bought some arial fireworks that were pretty cool. We played games of course too. The funniest was doing the wheel barrel races. Too bad it's kind of dark in the pictures.

On Monday we took the boys to the splash pad. We wanted to do something fun as a family on the actual holiday. Mike had clinicals that night so we played during the day. We have only been to the splash pad one other time but the boys love it. I might have to take them there more often. I thought of getting fireworks to light off with the boys that night but with Mike working, I decided not too. We'll have to get some fireworks to light off on the 24th.

All and all it was a lot of fun! My boys were pretty tired by the end of the weekend!
