Our Summer!!


Warning: this is a long blog. I am sorry for taking so long to get more pictures up.








Well our summer has gone by really fast and i can tell by the weather it is coming to an end:( We have had a lot of fun. It started with the arrival of Kasen at the end of June. It has been really a lot of fun having two boys. Even though it is a lot more work with two I still love it and would never change anything. (Except maybe getting more sleep)

It is so fun to see Heston bond with Kasen. Right from the start every time Heston would wake up his first words would be 'Where's Kasen'. He loves him so much. Kasen does not lack on getting enough kisses that's for sure.
When Kasen was about a week old we decided Heston needed to get out of the house so we took him to chin lake.

I think he liked the play ground the best. He's our little monkey.

We also had his favorite for dinner...Hot dogs with ketchup of course!!


We had a hail storm in July and Heston went out to catch some 'snowballs'.Heston riding the plasma car at Grama Williams' with his aunties helmet on backwards.

We have Rob's brothers (Matt and Shawn) living with us and Heston has so much fun with them. I caught a picture of Heston mowing the lawn with Matt!Kasen at 3 Weeks old. At his one month appointment he weighed 13 lbs. He is our little porker!Our two boys. Heston is getting so big. He is such a good big brother and is most always willing to help out. His daily duties consist of getting a diaper and wipes, helping undress and dress Kasen, throwing out the dirty diapers, putting Kasen's soother back in his mouth constantly, etc...



August was a busy month for us. Starting with a Lowry reunion the first weekend. Heston enjoyed the freedom that weekend. Running around with the kids and just having fun. We had a watermelon eating contest - Heston didn't win but he had fun.



The following weekend we had the family ball tournament and parade in Cardston. We didn't win but we had a lot of fun together!



That same weekend Rob's parents and family came up from Arizona so we blessed Kasen on the Sunday. It was really good to have all the family there for it.





On the Monday we all (Rob's family) headed to echo lake for the week. It was so fun to spend time together. Heston loved the boat and tubing with grandpa.



It was a lot of fun to see Heston and his cousin Bridget run around and play.



Auntie Mary was being silly and making them laugh.



Grandma Bevans loving little Kasen!



Look at that little Buddha Belly. What a chunk. At his two month appointment he weighed 15lbs 8oz.



The last weekend of the month was Taber Cornfest and we for sure couldn't miss out on the festivities. We went to a mud bogging event, then to the show and shine, then we took Heston to the rides which he loved every minute of and still asks to go on the plane again.



Heston on the kid roller coaster. I thought he would cry but he didn't.



His favorite ride was the planes. He had a grin the entire time!



On a ride with Uncle Matt and Shawn.



Going on the big slide with daddy!



Riding the Farris Wheel at 11:20 at night. He should have been in bed but wanted to ride the big ride so bad...we stood in line for 20 min.



The last event of the summer was a Williams reunion the first weekend in Sept. It was at the Williams cabin. We attempted to sleep in the tent. Lets just say it was an interesting first night with Kasen in a tent. The second night we all slept on a double mattress. Rob, Heston, me then kasen its was really squishy. It got really cold that night and it started to rain so we packed up that morning and finished the reunion in Cardston. It was fun though the kids painted rafts and then we floated them down the river.



The week before the reunion I had tried again to potty train Heston and figured rob could teach Heston to pee out side on a bush while we were at the cabin. As soon as rob started to pull Heston's diaper off he started to panic and said ' It's to cold daddy, it's to cold ' so it didn't work we gave up again on the potty thing but we will try again.



We hope you all had a great summer like we did!! Sorry again this is so long I had started this blog in September but I am now just finding time to finish it.
