We have a fisherman.

We got Wade a real fishing pole for his birthday. He really wanted a cars fishing pole. Ever since he got it he has been asking to go fishing. Last night for family night we took him. He caught his first fish ever. It was so awesome to watch him real the fish in. When we pulled it out of the water Wade asked if it was fake. Then it started flopping around and off the hook. We let him go but Wade was pretty proud of the first fish he ever caught. His first little rainbow trout.
He is a seriouse little fisherman. Like father like son.
Wade and his trophy fish. It so huge we should have kept it and mounted it for him. J/K.

Kingston had fun too.

The first thing people say when they see Kingston is, Wow look at thoughs big eyes." They used to say the same thing about Wade but I never knew what it ment. They aren't saying, "Oh what a cute baby." and they aren't saying, "what a weird looking baby." So I never know what to say back to that coment. Is it a complement that I say thank you to, or should I be offended. I guess it's just a comment. Well, we think our little E.T. is preety dang cute. So I guess thats all that matters.

SO MUCH FUN AT THE FAIR!!!

So, I have never loved someone so much as I loved Wade tonight. On our way home from eating out with Grandma and Grandpa Ogden we decided to stop at the fair that is here in A.F. right now. Wade saw the fairiswheel and wanted to go on it so bad. Oh my gosh he is so big. He kept pointing at all the scary rides and saying "Mom I want to go on that it looks fun. Look mom it goes around and around and upside down." He wanted to ride everything. First he went on the fairiswheel with Mike and loved it. Mike kept rocking the chair which was scaring me and I was down below with Kingston watching, but Wade was having the time of his life. Kingston was having fun too watching the lights. Then their was this little roller coster. Mike just took him over to it and put him on buy his self. I thought for sure he would freek out, but he loved it. Every time it dropped he would smile so big. My heart just melted because my little boy is growing up so fast. He can ride a roller coaster by his self. Then we went to the cars and he drove them buy his self. Wade and I road the big bumpy slide. He was a little nervise cause we were so high up and we went really fast, but when we got to the bottom the biggest smile came over his face. Then he road the flying saucers that went up and down. He is so big and I just felt so much love for him as I watched his smiling face tonight. I had to journal about it before I forgot. Of course I didn't have my camera with me because it was a last minute decition. Hopefully you get the idea from my discription. Wow, i never knew you could love someone so much as I love Wade. I think we may have a little adrenaline junky on our hands.

Roll Over.

Today Kingston rolled over for the first time. I was lucky enough to get the second time on tape. I can't believe how big he is. He is such a joy in our lives and just so happy all the time. I feel so lucky to be his mom. I love you so much buddy.

I think your supposed to hold that with your hands.

Kingston is starting to learn to hold his bottle him self. He still is not good at it at all, but he tries. The other day I gave him his bottle and then walked away for a second. When I came back this is how he was holding it. I started to laugh so hard. I love that little King he is so funny.

4th of July

So we had a great time in Richfield on the 4th. We wait all year long for the fourth to come. For Mikes family, (and I think most of the people in Richfield) the fourth of July is thier favorite holiday. Mike and his family love the 4th more than Christmas. So of course we were so excited this year because Wade is a little bit older and he was able to partisipate more. But then half way to Richfield I realized i forgot my camera. Oh well, I am sure Mikes mom will post some pictures soon. Anyways, we had so much fun. At six AM the canons boomed and all the kids got up. It was so fun. Their is just this excitment in the air it is awesome. We went to the parade at nine and Wade loved it. He got so much candy. Then to the park for some kiddie races. Wade ran so fast and got himself a shiny 50 cent piece at the finish line. He loved it. We thought that Wade might want to do the fish grab this year. When he first saw the water and the fish swimming in it he wanted to do it. But as soon as they blew the wissel and all the kids jumped in and started grabing fish he got scared. It's ok, maybe next year. Then we headed up to Antimony to the King family reunion. We watched the fire works over the Otter Creek resevore. It was pretty awesome. Mike almost blew up the Lake with some home made bombs. He loves to do fire works. It was pretty awesome though. Mike would light the fire work and throw it in the lake. When it blew up it sent a huge wall of water into the air. Everyone cheered. It was neet. We had a great 4th and look forward to next year.

Wade's Birthday Party.

show me how strong you are.

Wade had a great Birthday party. If you know Wade than you know that one of his favorite things is flags. He is kinda obsessed. I don't know how this obsession started but never the less he loves flags. So he wanted a flag party. Good thing the kid was born so close to the 4th of July or we might not have been able to have a flag party. I made him a flag cake out of strawberrys and blue berrys. He loved it. (thanks for the idea mom.) We had friends over and swam at the pool, made hot dogs and ate cake. Thanks to everyone who came it was fun.

Happy Birthday Wade-O

Wow I can't believe that my little boy is turning three today. We love him so much. He was so excited for his birthday to come. He has been waiting for a long time. I just wanted to take a min. and remember all of the awesome things about Wade that we love. Wade is so fun. He loves to be with people. Any people. He would be happy to be with the bum on the street. He is not afraid of anyone. Even scary people. Infact a few months ago he was out picking flowers and a scary bum looking guy walked by. I watched to see if Wade would be scared of him or not. Wade looked right at him and said " Hi I'm picking flowers." The man smiled with a teethless smile and walked by. Wade wants everyone to be happy. He is very ubservant and always wants you to be smiling. His favorite things are Flags, Windmills, and Flowers. He loves anything that lights up and spins around. He wants everything to be a cape. I had to tie his blanket around him like a cape everyday untill his grandma Ogden resently gave him a real cape. He loves to be a super hero. He loves to dance and sing. He knows the words to songs and he resently started to corect you if you sing the wrong words. It's really cute. He loves to be out side and swim and play. Wade loves to laugh and his favorite shows to watch with his dad are Americas Funniest Home Videos, and resently Wipe Out. He loves to watch people fall and bump in to things. He laughs so hard. Wade is such a joy in our lives. I can't believe he is three. I better end this blogging session. I can't see the screen because my eyes are watering up. I love you Wade-o potato I am so proud of you. Happy third Birthday.

Tell me how you really feel?

Aunt Neisha came over on Sunday to spend some time with Wade for his birthday. It was really fun. We played squirt guns and played with the balls that Neisha gave Wade for his birthday. So this video is so funny. Kingston really doesn't like what Neisha is doing. I love his face right before he screems. Sorry Mike is trying to pick his noes the whole time. That kid has to pick if he sees something pickable. Anyways Kingston, tell us how you really feel?

No Joke!!!

Ok, this may be dumb to most people, but I am so excited about it. I have this list. A list of things that I want to do in my life. A few of the things on it are things like, going parasailing, skydiving, I really want to be the voice of a cartoon character, writing a fiction novel, and going heliboarding. Any way, these are some of them but you get the idea. Some of them may come true and some may not, but last night one of the things on my list came true. I have always wanted to capture a bolt of lightning on film. Have you ever seen thoughs calenders that have neet pictures of things. They always have a picture of lightning and I think it's cool. It may be dumb but I have always wanted to get a picture of a lightning bolt. I don't have a fancy camera or anything. I know that if i did I could leave the shutter open for a long time and have a better chance, but I don't have that. I just have what ever I have with me at the time. Any time there is a lightning storm I will try to take a picture of it. One time I was trying to use my cell phone camera for like an hour. I have tryed so many times to do it, but it's hard because you don't just have to be quick to take the picture, you have to hope your pointing the camera in the right direction too. Any ways last night Mike and I were driving home and there was a storm in front of us. I got out my camera and assumed the position. As the lightning struck I pushed the button on the camera as fast as I could. I expected to look down as usual to see that I had pushed it to late, but no. There it was on the screen of the camera. I had captured the lightning on the screen. i couldn't believe it. I looked at Mike and started yelling, "I DID IT! I DID IT! I can die happy now. Just kidding I have more things on my list." But I was really happy. I know it may be dumb but here is the proof of the blessed moment in time. I AM SO HAPPY!!! HEE HEE HEE!!! : )

Mormon Miracle Pagent

This Saturday night we decided to take a trip to Manti for the Mormon Miracle Pagent. Mike had seen it before but I never had so we went down to watch. We stopped in Ephriam and ate at Fat Jacks Pizza witch is now called Roys Pizza i guess. It was good. They have this old fashion ice cream and candy shop there. That is why Wade is smiling so big in this picture. You can't see it but the wall in front of him is covered in diffrent kinds of candy. He loved it. When we got to the pagent and layed down our blanket Wade looked up at the temple and said, "Mom, is that the Temple?" I said, "yes it is." Then he said, " but mom, where's the guy." I realized he was looking up and talking about the angel Moroni. It was cute, I told him this temple didn't have and angel Moroni on it. He seemed to understand. It continues to amaze me every day the things Wade notices. The pagent was neet but the mosquitoes were not. Oh well. The show was great, both Kingston and Wade watched the whole thing. I love the Manti Temple it is so beautiful.

A.F. Fitness Center Swimming Fun.

Last night we took Wade to the A.F. Fitness Center for some swimming fun. They have some fun stuff there. They have some little slides and a big slide. Mike tryed to get Wade down the big slide, but he had to take of his life jacket to do it and Mike had to catch him at the end cause the pool was to deep for him to touch. When Mike came down Wade just jumped into the lap of the pretty life gaurd at the top of the slide. When I finally got up there he was just hugging her and smiling. She said that she thought he was so cute. Man, he knows how to work it. We finally got him to go down, but I didn't get it on tape cause I had to catch him. It was cute though. He stayed up the whole time untill the very last turn flipped him onto his head. I could tell he was scared but he just kept saying, "That was so much fun." What a brave little guy.

Kingston loves his bath.

Kingston loves his bath. He splashes and splashes. It is so cute. He does it every time that we give him a bath so I though I better get it on tape before he stops doing it. We didn't know if it was appropriate to show a naked baby so we covered him up with a wash cloth. It's good to be modest. Anyways we think he is so cute. He gets funner every day.

Take me out to the ball game!!!

This Monday night for family night we headed up to Salt Lake for a Bee's game. We went with some of our great friends Josh and Alicia Brown and thier two kids Jaxon and Marabelle and Brooke and Vaughn Schouten and their little bun in the oven (no name picked out yet). It was so much fun to be out in the warm nice weather and watch a baseball game. We ate hot dogs and rolled in the grass. As you can see Wade loves hot dogs. It was so much fun, and the kids loved it.
Kingston enjoyed watching the game too.
Fun family night.

Wade and Jaxon had so much fun rolling down the grass hill and dancing to the music. Here is a little video of the boys doing summer saults. I'm not sure if that's how you spell it, but maybe they call it that cause you do them in the summer down grassy hills like this. just a thought.

Timp, cave hike.

This Saturday afternoon we decided to hike up to the Timpanogos caves. It is about a mile and a half hike straight up the side of the mountain. It is paved the whole way thank goodness, but it was still harder than I thought it would be. We had a great time. This is all of us at the top. We made it! See how Mike is carrying Kingston in the snuggly and Wade on his shoulders? That's how he carried the boys most of the way. Wow what a studd. I was impressed. Some other people on the trail made comments about how crazy he was carrying both of them. I'm just glad I'm married to such an awesome guy who would do that.
Me and my guys on the way up. I made it about one fourth of the way before I handed Kingston over to Mike.
Kingston kept trying to fall asleep. We turned him around at one point so that he could sleep easier, but he didn't like it. He really likes to face forward. I can already tell that he has a stubborn personality. He lets you know when he doesn't like something.

What a pretty view. The view on the hike is so awesome. It was kinda scarry because alot of the trail is on the side of big cliffs. Everytime Wade wanted to walk by his self I was worried he was going to fall off the edge. We just made sure he walked on the inside of us. I was still paranoid. I'm kinda a paranoid person.
Mike and King. Waiting for our turn to go in to the cave. So cute.
Me and Wade-o in the cave. It was so neet. I had never been in Timp cave before. It was really different and cooler than I thought it would be. If you haven't ever done it you should. It was really cool. Wade loved it, but he wasn't allowed to tuch anything. That was really hard for him.
When we made it back down the trail their was this lady that was letting the kids pan for gold. Wade loved it.
Wade is holding up his gold he found in his pan. He was really proud. Wow what a fun day we had. We were so tiered by the end but it was so great to spend time with eachother.

Ahhh!! Saturday Mornings.

I have said it before that I love saturday, but I really love Saturday mornings. Usually Mike is gone to work before Wade gets up (I'm usually asleep too. It depends on Kingston) but on Saturday Wade always climbs into bed with us and snuggels. This Sat. morning I just layed in bed with my family and thought how lucky I was and how much I tressure that time we have together. Man, I love my three guys so much.

Swim, Swim, Swim!!!

Man I love the week end. I wait for it to come all week long and then when it gets here it goes by way to fast. We have a pool at our new place and we swim all the time. It is so fun. We put Wades life jacket on him and off he goes. He is registered for swim lessons in July (they said he has to be three first)and we look forward to the day that he knows how to swim with out the vest, but until then he has so much fun jumping into the pool, spinning around, and getting thrown into the air with out the fear of drowning. His uncle Ryan actually came up this weekend and worked on some swimming tips with Wade. He is a swim teacher at the pool in Richfield. Wade loved it. Kingston loves it too. He just kicks back in his little floating whale. We are having so much fun up here in American fork. We love it.

Brothers

So here are our boys. I always think that my two boys look alot alike. Then I look at these pictures and I'm not so sure. They both have the big eyes thats for sure. What do you think? The top picture is Kingston and the bottom is Wade Both at three months old.

Oh I'm a Big Brother!!!

Latley Wade has been obsessed with pushing the stroller around. He usually puts one of his stuffed animals in it and walks all around. To day we decided to put Kingston in it. Wade was so excited to be the BIG BROTHER. We went on a long walk around our neighborhood. Wade just pushed Kingston the whole time with the biggest smile on his face. I think Kingston enjoyed it too. It was really cute. Wade is such a good big brother.

A.F. Canyon

It's been a while since I blogged. Last weekend we went to Richfield for Memorial day weekend. I forgot my camera. We had fun viseting all of the graves at the cemitary. Mikes mom posted some pictures of that on her sight. This friday we went up American Fork Canyon to our ward activity. It was so pretty and lots of fun. We met alot of nice people in our ward and Wade had fun throwing rocks in to the river.
