Fun at the beach (pond)

We all know Utah doesn't have a beach ha just some small man made ones that are far from me and always crazy busy. Anyway last week our friend invited us to go to a swimming pond with her and her kids so I packed up the kids Wednesday Morning and we headed out. It's just in Highland so not too far. The water was freezing but the kids had fun splashing in the water and playing in the sand (rocks). Thanks for the invite Abby we can't wait to go again.

mmm yummy boogers!!

Pony Express Days also started Wednesday and it was FREE day so we took advantage of that and went for a few hours that evening with more friends. ( So happy we made such good friends since we moved to our new house) The rides weren't open this night and we missed all the celebrations because we went to Escalante the next day for a Family Reunion.

 Ryder loves the neighbor girls. He's quite the stud ;) They were going on the ride together and we looked down and they were holding hands :)

31

Clayton celebrated is 31st birthday yesterday. I've been teasing him for the last couple weeks about getting old ;) he didn't think I was too funny. . He celebrated the day by doing yard work and making us some yummy dutch oven potatoes and steak. Birthdays are so much fun when you get older ;) Happy birthday Babe!!

Memorial Weekend

Normally with Clayts new job we would of had a 4 day weekend but since he took off 2 days earlier in the week for Ryder's surgery he decided he better work Friday. We didn't do much Friday I had a softball game and went to that and then we just hung out at home. Saturday we decided to take a trip to Cabelas to see all the animals. The boys were in heaven with the fish and the tents upstairs. We finally got sand for our sandbox so we spent almost everyday of the weekend moving it into the box and other places since we had so much of it. Thanks to our neighbors for all their help moving it and taking some of it off our hands ;) Ryder has been feeling great during the days but the nights have been horrible and he hasn't slept through the night for about 4 nights now, wakes up screaming that his mouth hurts. We're all ready for this to be over. Since he didn't feel good Clayt and the boys stayed home from church Sunday so I went by myself and enjoyed a great Sunday of quiet :) After church we moved more sand and had fun talking with neighbors. Monday we did a lot of yard work, cleaned the garage and ended the day with a bbq and fire with neighbors. Hope everyone had an enjoyable Memorial Day. Thank you to all our men and women who have served  and are still serving.

Surgery

Ryder had his tonsils and adenoids removed Monday at Primary Childrens in Riverton. He did so good and is still doing pretty good. We got to the hospital about 13:30 am and they took him back at 11:15 and was out of surgery by 11:45. We headed home at 1:30pm  everything went really good. Watching my 4 year old walking down the hall hand in hand with the anesthesiologist was one of the cutest things I've seen :) he was so brave didn't even ask why we weren't going or anything. The hardest part for me out of the whole thing was watching him wake up from the meds. It was the saddest thing ever. Once they pain medication kicked in he did great though. Once we left the Hospital he wanted ice cream so we stopped at Arctic Circle to get him some. He wanted to go in so we went in and he had 3 ice cream cones minus the cone. That's the most ice cream I've ever seen him eat lol Once we got home he wanted to play and didn't understand why he couldn't. He would do really good until the meds would start wearing off again and he would cry and cough and it was so sad. Once the kicked in again he was happy and would eat things. He's still doing pretty good but wants to play more then we are letting him and he was pretty devastated last night when I told him he was going to miss his T ball game. Thank you everyone for the kind words, gifts and dinners. We have so many good people in our lives. We love you all!

 Playing in the waiting room

 Such a big boy :( :)

 Watching tv until we were ok to go home.

 Getting a wagon ride to the car.

 High on drugs and enjoying his ice cream.

 Ryder gave the rest of his ice cream to Range when we picked him up. Let's just say everything/everyone was a mess lol

But he didn't care he loved it lol

Farm Country

Last Wednesday Ryder's friend from school invited us to go on their field trip with them. They went to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. All the boys loved it. Range was in heaven with all the horses he loved them and was so excited to ride the little ones. Thanks for the invite Jessica and Ashton :)
