Trevor's Bear

After months of baiting, hours of sitting, he finally got his bear! Not that he got the bear by sitting by the bait for hours. Dalen talked to a guy that runs dogs and was able to smooth talk him into running dogs for Trevor and the dogs did it! They treed the bear with in a few hours and Trevor was able to finally shoot his bear. HOORAY!

Love this time of year

This is my favorite time of year up in the mountains, it is so beautiful with the leaves changing. We went on a hike to go check Trevor's bear bait with the boys and Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. Kellen and Karson were such good little hikers, they stayed right with us. Korbin did good in the backpack he got hungry there at the end and got upset, but still did good. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Tumbling

Kellen and Karson started tumbling at the end of August. Kellen did tumbling last year and love it. Karson has always been so good when it comes to Kellen being able to do things and him not being old enough yet. This year I was excited for Karson to be able to do something his older brother does. Karson loves going to tumbling, I think it makes him feel like he is a big kid. Their cousin Kaecee is also in their tumbling class. I actually really look forward to Mondays when I take the kids to tumbling, because we go to the Moroni park afterwards and have a picnic with Trevor and play at the park for awhile. I feel so blessed to spend everyday with my boys. I love being their Mom.

Kellen's 5th Birthday

Kellen couldn't have waited any longer for his birthday, he was so excited to turn five. It's crazy to think that five years ago I became a mother, one of my greatest blessings is being a mother to my boys. I love my Kellen he is always giving me loves and kisses and telling me he loves me. Being with Kellen and his brothers everyday makes me want to try harder to be a better Mother, because they deserve the very best. I don't feel like I can ever measure up, but I try.   

 Kellen was excited to have his cousins and Grandma and Grandpa Johnson over to watch him open presents and have cake and ice cream. He had fun playing with the two way radios that his Grandma and Grandpa got him and his cap guns he got for his birthday. He got a lot of fun stuff that he has loved to play with.

Karson

Sometimes the boys will make a face or do things that remind me of when they were a baby. The way Karson sleeps sometimes reminds me of this picture of him as a baby. It is one of my favorite pictures I have of him. Such a sweet boy. As Karson would say "me" love my Karson.

Kellen 1st Day of Preschool

This little handsome guy started preschool and was excited to see all his friends at school again. I love that he is a friend to everyone and anyone. He has a big heart and loves freely. He is an example to me and his little brothers everyday, I am so grateful for him in my life. I love this boy.

He loves his Batman shirt.

Labor Day

Trevor has been bear hunting a lot lately, so spending the day together as a family on Labor day was prefect! We spent the day on the mountain, it was a beautiful day. We took the boys on a four wheeler ride on the trails around the cabin. They always are wanting to go on a four wheeler ride, so they were pretty happy about that. We then took the boys fishing, Karson was the only one having any luck catching anything. They had more fun throwing rocks in the lake and talking Dad into throwing big rocks in the lake. Korbin kept wanting to walk into the lake, but it was too muddy. We then went on a hike together, Trevor took us on a pretty trail next to a river the boys loved playing in the water and I just love hiking so I really enjoyed it. We got the boys bathed at the motor home and headed down the mountain to watch How to train your dragon 2 at the drive in. It was the boys first time at the drive in theater and they loved it, they were so excited to watch a movie in their camp chairs outside. I am grateful for days like this full of fun with my family.
