crazy hair day

Today was crazy hair day for school. Clayton was excited to go to school with colored spots in his hair.

I love to see the temple

We took the boys to see the Mesa, AZ temple tonight.

 

We weren’t really dressed for the occasion, but we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity. Gotta love Clayton in cowboy boots with shorts! Wow…look how much Porter locks his knees, he gets that from me.

 

Our sweet boys.

 

I love this picture of Clayton, he is so handsome.

I am so thankful for the temple blessings & our eternal family.

the fruits of our labor

Yesterday we did lots of canning. I love that canning in our house is a family effort.

 

We now have canned pickles, peaches, applesauce, apple pie filling, prickly pear syrup & jelly.

 

The pantry looks so much better now.

Fun day with the boys

Today I volunteered in Clayton’s classroom. I will volunteer every week & so will Karlee & we will swap babysitting our younger one’s. It was fun to be in the classroom & watch Clayton. He is such a social bug & knows all the kids in his class & lots from other classes. It is fun watching him make friends so easily.

Cannen, Clayton & Keaton

 

 

Cannen, Clayton, Keaton & Nico. I had to include both pictures because I love Clayton’s sweet face in both of them.

 

I was so glad that Clayton liked having me in the classroom so much. I noticed there are 4 LDS kids in his class.

 

After volunteering I picked up Porter & we went to the park. This little boy has such a cute smile.

I love my boys.

Fruit Picking

We went & picked peaches & pears today, mainly peaches. The boys had so much fun using the fruit pickers.

 

We always love eating some of the fruit as we pick.

 

Hopefully someday we will have many fruit trees of our own.

 

Porter loved getting help from his Daddy to reach some of the higher peaches.

 

I love this silly boy.

 

I’m excited to can what we are picking.

 

We had big helpers today.

 

Now to weigh in & pay for the fruit we picked.

 

The boys liked the fruit scale.

 

Tonight we stopped by Laun’s cousin Sean’s house & picked some prickly pears. We brought tongs for picking.

We had such a great day.

Soniota Rodeo

We love Soniota, it has green rolling hills & you’d never guess it was so close to Tucson.

 

Clayton & Jared

 

Our boys look so cute in a cowboy hat.

 

Several of Laun’s siblings came with their families & cousin Sean’s family came, too.

 

Cutest brown eyed boy.

 

His little wranglers make me smile.

 

The best part of any rodeo…the bull riding.
