This past weekend we went on hike/bike ride up the mountains behind our house. I was actually really impressed with how the boys did. The only complaining was from Kaden (he gets that from his mom) saying how tired he was every 30 seconds. I would have stopped and rested but since Austin wasn't tired I figure Kade was just being whinny.

Before I get in trouble...

Sarah is not a complainer now, but she says she always complained as a kid.

Kade took the above picture. I think it is the first one ever we didn't have to delete for being crooked, heads missing, etc.

I was reading some news on Yahoo the other day and came across this article about switching heads on family pics. Some of them were pretty funny and I thought I would try my hand at it. Since I have 3 boys, I will have to post the other 2 later to not show favorites.

Happy Father's day. This weekend we had the Father and sons ward campout. The highlight of the trip was a snake that was found with his head removed. I tried to get the boys to hold it up with a stick but I guess I taught them too well to be afraid of snakes. This is the closest either boy would get to the decapitated reptile.I don't know how many have heard or care about the flooding going on this year but here is a picture of a "waterfall" and another picture from the year before. The boys weren't allowed to go near any rivers this time.

REALLY? SERIOUSLY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Happy Memorial/snow day. No BBQ at our house. Days like this, I almost wish I lived in CA.

So Sarah noticed one day that Austin's bottom half of his PJs and underwear were ending up in the closet. We thought that was weird. Then, one night, around midnight, I was in the kitchen watching Sports Center and I heard some noise in the hallway. It turns out that after Austin goes "pp", instead of putting his pants back on he throws them in the closet and goes to bed "commando" style. Obviously the closet is on the left. Then the baby's room, the boys room and the bathroom is the door open on the right.

So as I was uploading the other pictures I cam across this one from a couple of months ago and thought you all might find it just as funny as I do. The story behind this is that they were playing "marriage" so Kade dressed up in his suit and we don't have any kid girl close for Jillian so we had to improvise. Can you guess what she is wearing? I'll give you a hint, the dress and "veil" are both things that she definitely should not be wearing until she is married. Any guesses?

So out of 8 games the last one (on 5/21/11) was the only sunny day. The other 7 were either raining or snowy. So these are the only pictures I have from the whole season. Not that it makes a difference because every game looks the same. Kaden's team might have won 1 game, but he had a lot of fun. I am going to try and be his coach next year so they can be 7-1 not 1-7. I didn't pay $35 to lose vicariously through my son. He loves playing defense, but he was a good goal scorer. He averaged about 0 goals a game, usually 1 goal for us and 1 goal for them (Its hard to keep track of which way you are going at 5). It was fun to see him play against his friends because he would let them score and then congratulate them.
