He is his Uncle Isaac's nephew. . .

Matthew eating ice cream reminds me of my brother Isaac eating ice cream when he was little. I haven't seen Isaac eat ice cream lately, but I don't think he licks out the bowl anymore.

I better get busy

We are headed to Disneyland next month and if we're going to look like this while we are there I better get sewing.

Our little puppy. . .

This morning Clint took the garbage sack out of the garbage can and put the bag by the back door. He was planning on taking it out with him a few minutes later when he left for a meeting. Meanwhile, I was in the bathroom getting ready for church, and Clint went upstairs for a minute. I hear Clint come back down and ask Matthew what he was doing. Matthew was taking garbage out of the sack and spilled some gravy on the floor. Clint was a little annoyed because Matthew was making a mess, then Clint said "Matthew, what are you, the family dog?" Matthew obviously understand the word dog because he gave a little bark in response to the question. It broke the tension and we all had a good laugh. What a funny little puppy we have. :) He is also good and mooing and roaring like a dinosaur.

Update

We made a recent trip to Wheeler farm. It is fun, entertaining and free which is three of our favorite things. :) Matthew was very tired when we got there, but he loved to look at all the animals.

Landon loved getting on the real tractor.

Can you tell he ate something yummy? I think this time it was hot chocolate.

We had a BYU party with the cousins. We had a great time. Here is Bridger and Matthew. These are both classic looks that I get from both of them. What cute boys.


Cute cousins, Carlie, Matthew, and Jadyn.


Landon got a new shirt. He likes it when people make comments about it. We saw a friend at the store and she didn't say anything about his cool planet shirt, and he was sad.

This is just a funny picture of Matthew. We all feel like this sometimes don't we?

One Handsome Boy!


2 Handsome Boys!

Landon loves his sand. We bought this at the beginning of the summer. He has spilled so much that he didn't have very much left, so we bought him some more brown sand. He wants to go to the beach.


Matthew loves the sand too, and Landon is good to let him play and not get too upset.


Landon's new smile is the wide mouth frog.

Potty trained!

Landon is officially potty trained, hooray! This is him at the beginning of the potty training.




Here he is after he earned this new toy. He did a great job, and we're all glad he doesn't need those diapers anymore.



This picture doesn't relate to potty training. :) It is a family picture taken of us at my friend Nicole's wedding.

July

This month has been pretty busy so far. For the past 7 months I (Casey) have been involved with the YW in our ward doing a "Spectacular." When I graduated from high school I didn't think I'd be back on a football field learning a show again. Now I did not perform with them, but I had to be on the field during it so our stake would know where to go. Do you see me in the orange shirt in the middle. :)


For the 4th of July weekend we went to Melba, Idaho to visit Andy & Candice and the girls. We had a great time seeing all (almost) of our cousins. Thanks Candice & Andy!

Landon loved their giant sandbox (aka sand volleyball court).

We also celebrated Landon's 3rd birthday. He got a tool belt for one of his presents. He really does like it even though it doesn't look like it in this picture.


Matthew trying out the headband that I learned how to make in RS. (Laralee I hope you like this kind, I'm sure it will look a lot cuter on your baby girl, but I guess just pretend you didn't see this.)



Landon with his birthday cake.

Landon loves birthdays and he especially loves his birthday. When I was little we got to pick what was for dinner when it was our birthday, so we have continued that. Landon picked Baked Ziti, corn on the cob and Orange soda. What a good boy. We can't believe he is 3.
