Texas

We did a ton of fun things while we were in Texas. The State Fair, The Zoo, Fun Parks, I just forgot to take my camera with me!! Oh well, the smile on these guys faces says it all.

More California Fun

We spent a day at the Aquarium and the beach.

Happy Halloween- Disney Style!!

We recently took a long awaited and well deserved 10 day vacation. We decided to go to California for a few days, and then we finally made it to see Cathy and Chad in Texas. We had such a great time and were so exited to finally see the babies. Dresden and the boys had a great time together and we were lucky enough to see the babies get blessed. Thanks Cathy, Chad, Dre, "Enna" and "Co-Co", We had a great time and can't wait to see you for the Holidays.

San Francisco

The Beach- ( is was freezing cold, but apparently they didn't care.)

San Francisco Zoo

So, Eric and the boys decided to take a long weekend trip to see his Dad in San Francisco. Grampa has a sail boat in the Berkley Marina and the boys think it is the greatest thing ever!!. Here are a few pics of the adventurous weekend. Thanks Grampa, all three boys had a blast!!

First Day of School

Ok, so school started in July!! I Know, I know.( better late than never!!)

ALIVE AND WELL

I know, I know. It has been a very long time since my last post. We have been so busy over the last few months I honestly have not given a thought to my poor un-updated blog. Well a lot has changed in the last few months at the Stout house. The boys started yet another fun year at school. Dawson started 3rd grade and Mason started 1st. They are both going full time now. Very sad for me though. I was really worried about what I would do all day long by myself. I know all of you Mom's with little one's at home think I am crazy, (Cathy), and you would do anything for a few hours by yourself, but believe me It gets old really quick!!. So I decided to go back to work part-time, as most of you already know. I am able to work from home which is great because I am home when the boys are done with school. I am loving is so far. I have tons of travel benefits so anyone who lives out of state, Cathy, Kamilah, and all of Eric's family, be ready for some visits from us!!. Everything else is great. We were all exited for the arrival of Cathy's twins, Coen and Ciena a month ago. We can't wait for our trip to see them in a few weeks. I have lots of pictures of our fun adventures this summer I will post soon. Hope everyone is doing well.

Memorial Day

After visiting Eric's Great Grand-Parents at the Salt Lake Cemetery, Eric took the boys to the Veterans section of the Cemetery. It was so great to see Eric explain to the boys just how important our Veterans are. The boy's were so respectful and I was very proud of them. What a great Dad they have!!

Why is life so busy?

A fun day at the Zoo with my 3 favorite guys!!

A couple of pics of Dawson school field trip.

Mason and his two best buddies, Ethan and Dillon playing baseball

Wow, have we been busy! How does everyone do it!! I only have two kids and I can not keep up with their crazy schedules. The boys are both in Baseball which keeps us at the ballpark a few hours every night. Eric decided to coach both boy's teams this year, and between game's and practices, work, school and everything else, we are all exhausted!! I am so glad the boys will be done with both school and baseball this week so we can finally have some summer fun. We have managed to do a few fun things the last month or so, I have added a few pictures of things we have done. Hope everyone is doing well.

Early Hallowwen Costume?

Mason learned over the weekend NOT to bother a cat while he is sleeping. Mason tried to give our cat Lucky a kiss and received this huge, ugly slice on his neck from two claws. You can't even see the whole thing, it wraps around his neck from ear to ear. Mason actually thinks it is kinda cool and I overheard him tell his teacher today that" It doesn't even hurt- unless I move my head up, down or side to side, then it stings a lot!!. Way to go Mas!!

My Little Boy Scout

Since Dawson is now 8, he recently started Boy Scout's. He is having a great time so far and thinks they do the "coolest stuff". He is currently earning his Wolf badge and will go to his first Scout Camp in a few months. Good Times!!

"Take me out to the ball game..."

We had great suite seats to the Bee's season opener. We always have a great time at the Baseball game's and are excited the Bee's season has started. Thanks, as always, to our good friends Brad and Tammy Tammen for always making us feel so welcome at the field.

Disneyland!!!

Meeting Capt. Jack was one of the highlights for the boys.

The kids love to swim at Grampa and Grandma Gibson's house!!

We had a great time on our vacation to Disneyland. We started our trip with a few days spent in St. George, then with Connie, Doug and the girls we headed for Disneyland. It was a little sad to see that the boys have grown out of the Disneyland side of the park and now focus on the California Adventure side and all the "big rides". They are growing up way to fast for me!! Here are a few pictures of the trip. Enjoy!!

Sick, Sleepy Kids!!

So Sad, after a long unusual quiet throughout the house, this is how I found the boys(and the cat) today. They are still sleeping 3 hours later. They have both been sick, Mason with strep- and Dawson has been in and out of the doctors with pneumonia. I think their poor little bodies are just wore out!! Hopefully, they will rest good today because tomorrow we leave on vacation. We are spending a few day in St. George with my Mom and Dad and then off to Disneyland!! They are very exited as you can see from the picture. I will post as soon as we get home.

Wii Party

Dawson got the new Nintendo Wii for his birthday . The boys invited their 3 best buddies over for a Wii game night. A few slices of pizza and video games- these guys are happy for hours!!
