September

September was a busy month for us--football games, practice, canning, etc.  For some reason I didn't take many pictures this month....however, these are some of the highlights.

Layton had been begging for weeks to make Ublock (gak as I know it).  So one Saturday afternoon we made a large batch.  The boys had a lot of fun playing with it and making a big mess!

Zander came into the house with a surprise that he had stolen from the cat--a MOUSE! EWW!  Why do boys feel the need to pick up dead and dying animals?  I don't get it.

We made a quick trip to eastern Idaho for the Heber Chase Yearsley Family Reunion--Jim cooked up some delicious food for us.  I think we all left feeling super stuffed.    (this is just a few of the Yearsley men that were there)

Declan can now pull up on things---EVERYTHING!

Reunion Fun!

This past weekend the boys and I headed to Boise (Matt had to work all weekend due to a project) for our family reunion. Friday we went boating...Dad and mom surprised us by renting two jetskis as well. It was great fun! I even got Layton to tube behind the boat (after prying his fingers off the side of the boat and tossing him onto the tube). He had a blast! :) Saturday we went swimming at a pond/lake in downtown Boise. The water was so nice and warm. We played King of the Tube on a big tube. It was quite the site to see my and my pregnant self trying to pull myself out of the water and onto the tube. That night we went to a park and had fried chicken dinner and had a family Bocce Ball and Lasso Golf tournament. It was great fun! Sunday we said our goodbyes after a yummy homemade Costa Vida lunch (I need to get the recipe Mom)! It was so fun to see everyone....although we were sad that Matt was unable to be there with us.

Vacation time!!!

The last weekend of June we went and visited Matt's family for our family reunion. It was so great to see everyone after so long. We went to the Rexburg Temple for Dustan, Candace, and Bailee's sealing. It was such a special day! Afterwards we went to the spray park in Rexburg and let the kids cool down in the water. The rest of the weekend was full of fun and games, jetskiing and tubbing on the lake, dutch oven cooking, and just enjoying eachother's company. It was a great time!
