Mickel Camp

 We just got back from Mickel Camp, ie Rustin's family reunion. We had such a great time doing everything we love with those that we love. The most perfect five days. We went fishing more in the last few days then we have in the last few years. We would fish morning and evening almost everyday - it was perfect.

 Tyce absolutely fell in love with fishing which was the cutest thing. I so hope fishing is something that Tyce and Rustin will have just like Rustin and his Dad and Rustin's Dad and his Dad, etc :) Keeping up the tradition :)

 Jacey was not so in love with the fishing as she was the mud and rocks but she never fell in the water so I count it as a success :) My favorite was the little purple skirt, can you see it? She got it at the kids store that they do and she wore it for three days til it became absolute shreds....we had to throw it away.

 Jacey stole my hat and I took a few pics. She looked so dang cute in it.

I wish you could see Tyce reel in a fish. He just giggles the whole time - I love it :)

This is the sweet face she gives me all the time.......she is such a sassy pants.....but we wouldnt have her any other way :)

summer goings on

 Here are a few summer pics. Popsicles of course. I get so sick of scrubbing Popsicle stains out of their shirts so I am in to just taking their shirts off, saves lot of Shout :) Dont worry, we stay on the back porch :)

 We put Jacey in a big bed in Tyce's room last month and she has LOVED it. It is so cute. The transition was so smooth, I was surprised. They seem to love being in the same room and having someone sleep next to them. Its been nice.

 We went to the zoo on the 4th of July because I was so sad not to be home for the 4th so we thought the zoo might be fun.

 The classic gorilla pic :)

 We went up to Star Valley to watch the Ranch Rodeo. My sister put a team together so we all went up to watch. It was such a fun weekend.

We went horse riding with the cousins...

 and the parade....

we went to a lake where Jacey promptly slipped and fell in. The water was ice cold and she couldnt cry for a long time because it completely took her breath away. My sister was scrambling to get her out and I just sat there laughing my face off. It was the funniest thing! I would have given anything to have gotten that on video.

This was Jacey after she fell in - she was little ticked off :)

This is kind of a random pic but lately Tyce has been into cutting up cardboard boxes with a knife. Rustin is slightly disturbed that I let me play with the knife but he is being so creative and imaginative, I just couldnt bring myself to take the knife away. He made the most amazing garbage truck and speed train. A box, a knife, and duck tape - pretty cheap entertainment and he has been doing it for hours a day. He is getting really good with the knife and has learned to cut away from his hand (he did actually cut himself once but he is learning :)) I love watching his mind work and see him be so creative. I love his little concentrating face :)

 Sorry these pictures are all over the place but I kiffed these pics from my sisters blog. These are some of the Ranch Rodeo in Star Valley. It was so fun!

They had the calf chase and Tyce went down and then just sat there and stared at all the kids and didnt move - but he got his ice cream ticket so thats all that matters :)
