Cody's new bike

Cody has had a bike for a couple of weeks and I just snapped a few pictures. He is doing really well with riding his bike, he tells Daddy that he wants the training wheels off but he is not quite ready for that. He just LOVES his bike.

Bring it on

Cody and Brandon like to say "Bring it on", something they learned from uncle Kyle. Cody decided to bring out his mattress so that he and Brandon could wrestle. Brandon is a little better than Cody.

Family time

Tony finally got a day off so we decided to go for a drive just the four of us. I tried to take a picture of my boys but I have a hard time with taking pictures. This is the best that I got.


We went for a drive up by Dubois, which is where Tony likes to hunt, it was a nice drive and the boys liked to stop and throw rocks in the creek and Cody was shooting his BB gun.

Here is Cody with his BB gun. He loves to shoot it when Dad helps him.

Summer time

Well, I finally got the pool out and the kids played in the pool and the sprinklers. It seems like it just hasn't been warm enough and now it is so hot.

Cody and Brandon love the sprinkler, it is amazing how much fun they can have with just a little water.

The boys were thirsty so they decided to drink out of the sprinkler, they make me laugh.

This is a picture of Cody, Brandon, Sydnie and Lucas, two of the boy's friends. We had them over for a sleepover. They all like to ride around in the Prowler so Tony took a picture of the four of them. So cute!!!

Just because

My boys make me smile all the time. I took these pictures and smile everytime I see them. This is Brandon with his dad's hat on. He wants to be just like his dad.

Then there is Cody and his friend, Lucas, playing with a wagon full of water, they got soaked.

Then here is Cody at the table fast asleep. We were in the middle of dinner and he fell asleep. He must have played to hard today.

Happy 4th of July

We spent the 4th of July wtih some of my family and some of Tony's family. We had so much fun. The kids decided they need to start a water balloon fight and here is Cody with his stash. They even got Uncle Mike involved. Brandon was not going to be left out either.

Later we went and got fireworks, the sparklers were a big hit. We all sat and watched fireworks and had a good time.

Dinosaur Museum

Today we went to the dinosaur museum with Bryon, Angela, Courtney, Chelsie, Robin and Brooke, another niece.
Tony came to Salt Lake the night before, (he had been working until then), he and Brandon were checking out all the cool fossils.

The boys loved the sand and bones in this room. You can dig for bones, use paint brushes to move the sand and the boys and Brooke had a blast. Brooke's favorite was the erosion table. It is sand and water and it demonstrates how erosion works.

On the road again....

Today we are leaving Winnemucca and headed to Salt Lake for the 2nd part of our trip. Cody rode with Bryon and Angie and we took Chelsie and her friend Robin. I think we all started going a little crazy in the car when we realized that ants had crawled in the Brandon's car seat the night before and we had a ant infestation. YIKES!! Ants were all over but Brandon didn't seem to mind.

Mandy took this picture of her and I to show the craziness and the ants.

So today we start to head back for home, we got up super early (4 a.m.) to start back toward Nevada, we stayed at Tony's sister's house for the night. There was some beautiful scenery just outside of Reno that Mandy took pictures of.

Everyone in the car was very tired. Cody was plain wore out.
