Our Week

We had quite a busy week last week. It looks like Spring may have been skipped this year! Two weeks ago it was cold and this last week, it was beautiful with temperatures almost up to 90 degrees! Here is what our week looked like in pictures.

We played outside A LOT this last week. Landon is already starting to sport a great farmer's tan. One day, Travis asked if they could run through the sprinkler, so we hooked it us and let them get wet! They had a blast!!

On Friday, Carson's class had a Reader's Tea. We were all invited to come and listen to their stories and have refreshments. Carson wrote a story about our trip to San Diego last year. He had some great illustrations and did a wonderful job reading it to us and to everyone else that came through to hear it.
Travis listening to Carson read his story.
Grandma Asay was able to come and join us too!
Saturday morning, Carson lost another tooth. I think that makes  #7 and he has another one up top that is going to come out any day now!
Saturday morning, we made a trip over to Powell to spend the day with my mom and dad and my sister and her husband that had flown in from Logan that morning for the weekend. It was fun to get to see them even if it was a short trip!
Grandma Foulger and the boys enjoying some popsicles.

Uncle Jabin was a good sport and played basketball with the boys in the super warm weather!
We enjoyed some fried chicken for lunch outside!

Grandpa and Grandma relaxing outside.
That morning before we left, the boys were all snuggling on Travis's bed watching a movie on the ipad.  It was too cute!
Sunday, was Mother's Day. It was a really good day. We went to church and the boys each made me these cards. They were funny to read and see what they had to say about me! Carson's is the one on the left and Travis's is the one on the right. We are so grateful for the moms we have in our lives. They have taught us to much and continue to do so much for us. We love them all very much!

After church, we went to Powell to have lunch with my mom. We had a BBQ and enjoyed the afternoon before Megan and Jabin had to leave.
The guys enjoying the sunshine.
My sister and I with some flowers that my mom got from a wedding the night before!
Landon wanted to try one on too. It's a good thing he isn't a girl because that poor kid has no hair!
The boys spent a lot of time driving around in the little truck!
We had dinner that evening with Christian's mom. Earlier that day, one of their sheep had it's baby, we were all excited to see the new lamb!
Uncle Jacob showing the kids the new baby.
Travis took a turn holding it.


Uncle Jared got all the horses to come over so the kids could see them. As you can tell, Landon was super excited and went running over.
The apple tree had all of it's blossoms. It was so pretty and was full of buzzing bees.

First Cattle drive of the summer!

Today we helped Grandpa Asay move his cows home from the May place. The boys are always excited to help. This year, Travis didn't want to ride a horse, at first, because he was still scared from when Carson fell off his horse this winter. After some convincing from his dad, he rode for a while until Grandpa came with the 4-wheeler and then he jumped on with him. This year, the cows moved really well and it only took a couple of hours compared to other years! We had some sandwiches for lunch as we waited to make sure no calves tried to turn back and head back to the May place. Now here is picture overload from the day!

Landon lugged around this big stick while we were eating some lunch.

We were able to get the cows home before the rain against the mountains made it's way towards us.

Two cute boys!
After we got the cows to their new spot, Carson had a great time just riding around on Chief. It was good for him to get a little confidence built up.

Oh, Travis!

This is my favorite picture of the day! I love, love, love their smiles!

One happy boy!

Art Show!

Today was the Elementary School Art Show. The school halls are covered with art that the students have created throughout the year. Carson got to pick his three favorite pictures to display in the hallway. He chose to put up a drawing of:
His Critter, from the little Critter books,
A snowman made from cotton balls and other items, and
a bunch of reindeer made from his fingerprints.

Here he is by his pieces of artwork.
We made our way around the rest of the hallways  to check out the other art.
Landon's favorite part was running outside once we were done!
