Fun with the boys!

I'm way behind on posting these pictures! A couple of weeks ago Caden slept over. We had a campfire then slept out in the trailer. We always have lots of fun when Caden's around!


I'm not so good at chopping wood (Scott was working), so Corbin went around and found all these huge logs around the dirt hills. I have no idea where they came from! We started calling him "Corbin the Lumberjack" because he would go out into the pitch dark and come back with great big pieces of wood! He got a nice fire going for us!


Belle was hoping for some leftovers! She's gotten used to campfires - when she was little she would grab all of our firewood and move it away so we couldn't make the fire bigger!


Mmmm....marshmallows!

It was kind of a last minute thing, so Caden had to squeeze into some of Corbin's pj's!
I love to watch the kids after they've roasted marshmallows. The combination of good times and sugar makes good entertainment!


Eventually the sugar burned off!


Good morning!

Each of the boys has their own unique skills and talents. Corbin loves to come up with new creative recipes! These are some of his latest! The above is chow mein crispy noodles, sunflower seeds, water, chocolate-sugar-cinnamin mixture, and an easter egg on top. This was one of his tastier concoctions!


This one is bread crumbs, chow mein noodles, italian seasoning, and a bay leaf. Very artistic!

Caden loves to invent and create. This is an airplane he made out of tinker toys!


Masons artistic talents aren't quite as refined as the other boys yet. I'm sure he'll put them to good use some day, though! This is how he chose to spend his quiet time the other day. Corbin had just cleaned the room spotless. The stuff on the floor is macaroni and cheese noodles and toothpicks. Thank goodness he couldn't get the cheese packets open! He said he was making a "waterfall" with the noodles.


As we were cleaning up, Caden noticed that Mason was walking around with a toothpick poking out of the front of his diaper! He wasn't so happy that I made him leave it in until I took the picture!


The neighbor kids came over and spent the afternoon playing in the water. They're becoming good friends with the boys. We've really enjoyed getting to know our new neighbors!

On the Farm

The boys love it when Grandpa Brent comes to visit! Last time I told Corbin he was coming in a few days he said, "Mom, next time don't even tell me because I get too excited and I just can't wait!" We took seven pictures trying to get one with his eyes open!


Dad rented a mini van so we could all drive to Idaho together. Corbin's favorite thing to do on a road trip is to rock out on his head phones.



Corbin was such a big help, Great Grandpa Wells wanted to keep him to help out on the farm! These are raspberry starts that we took home and planted.

Corbin couldn't hold still a second longer - especially when there's a tractor nearby!



Mason loves tractors just as much as Corbin!



Grandpa took us out to explore the farm. He has two baby calfs just a few weeks old. This is his bull.

We were trying to get a picture of the chickens behind them in the coop.



Of all the farm animals, Mason loved the cat the very best!


Grandma Wells gets around pretty well in her new chair, and she has an amazing ability to pick things up off the floor with her cane!

Grandpa and Grandma have somewhere around 50 grandkids now!



Shaun is building a beautiful new house in Pocatello. The view is gorgeous. It sits up on a mountain that overlooks the valley and there are green meadows as far as you can see in every direction! This is the biggest dirt pile we've ever seen - Corbin's dreams have come true!
