2015 JULY

\

We were gone for cousin camp at Aunt Aprils and she was kind enough to give us the stuff they missed out on. They threw chalk at each other, painted beautiful canvas', Oliver drew Hulk, Gus drew a rainbow. Such a fun idea!

Oliver is absolutely obsessed with Hulk and Hulk smash right now. Gus is obsessed with Star Wars so  when Kyle saw these costumes at Costco for pretty cheap he couldn't resist. Seeing Oliver's face was worth every penny. Now we have Hulk and a Storm Trooper running around almost daily.

Kyle has been taking the boys scorpion hunting at night with backlights. I think this was their first find behind Shirley's house. We now have 2 big ones in a terrarium on our kitchen table. Gus collects cockroaches and we found a tarantula to feed them. They are pretty nasty and I'm glad the boys haven't left the lid off the terrarium.

The Wilson's came to town for their annual Wilson reunion, and then Summer went on Rachelle's river rafting retreat so Gma Linie had her kid lets for a week. We had fun playing with them. Grandma took the kids to a movie and I can't remember which one, maybe Minion's? We didn't like whatever it was (linda and I). Gus stayed the night at Grandma and Grandpa's cabin with all of the cousins. His backpack was bigger than he was, and we don't send the boys anywhere without their edamame's to eat that is the life of picky eaters. He was so excited and after the trip I heard all about how he got to sleep with Ava!! They got to snoop through Aunt Mary Lu's cabin which I am sure she absolutely loved. Even Kyle went in with them to check it out. We were teaching the pyro Noah how to make fire and burn army guys at Aunt Marylu's cabin. Which I am  sure his parents are thrilled about. Kyle with all of the kids in the boat at Blue Springs. I was laughing so hard watching Bruce and Kyle loading all of the kids in, Kyle was in the front. He didn't realize his dad wasn't getting in the boat so he was left to sea with all of the little farts. Luckily no one went overboard

The fishing at Blue Springs has been really great, so anytime Kyle can con his Dad into hanging out with him and G. O. they go fishing. Kyle is trying to work on Oliver's cast with him. So one of the pictures is of Kyle and Oliver casting on our front lawn. Kyle is seriously an amazing dad. The week before I had Jack he had taken the boys first coyote hunting, then fishing, then they went scorpion hunting, they went swimming, I think every night he has something planned for them. He is all about quality time with them. They are way lucky to have the guy in their lives. 

Skylar got ordained a Priest so we took the usual picture in the hall waiting for the bishop to arrive. I look enormous in my pink polka dot dress, but alas what do you expect when you are 37 weeks preggers.

I was in charge of our float for the 24th of July. This is as good as it gets when you are 39 weeks preggers. I had the achievement day girls help, and luckily Debra Gubler is their leader so she had lots of stuff for it.

Sometimes Kyle goes on bike rides after we put the kids to bed, and while he is gone I am busy bathing the baby and getting in the shower. 90% of the time I will come out to the living room and find the boys in a makeshift hut watching youtube kids. I told Kyle I loose control of them at night. 

Oliver watering the garden in his birthday suit. That's how we roll

On Sundays I try to keep the boys busy or they will fight and wrestle and get mad and angry at each other. So a lot of the Sundays we make slime. For some reason it turns out differently every time I make it. The batch pictured in this post was awesome if we blew air into it it would hold like a plastic ball for awhile. It kept them busy for 1 minute or so.

Our annual trip to Cambria for the 4th of July was a major success. The boys were good on the ride, Oliver didn't puke in the car going there or coming home! We were there a super long time almost 2 weeks. By the last few days we were ready to go, weird I don't remember why I just remember discussing that maybe we should go earlier than originally planned. Gus is the best sea glass finder there is. Honestly the kid could sit their for hours looking for sea glass, and he will be the one who finds the most rare colors and the biggest pieces. He has a little chunk of Grandma Scholzen in him that way. She was always the only one who found arrow heads when Kyle and I would go with her. My mom entered the pie eating contest along with Cory. She got a really cute tea towel, which was the main reason she entered. It was pretty darn hilarious was the grand champion. Kyle had the idea to enter him, because Cory could literally eat you out of your house. We were so very proud!! the last day of Cambria the ocean always turns magical and yields something special for the boys. This trip it produced these perfect blue starfish. We were lucky enough to find them! Thanks ocean.  

One of Kyle's customers kids got married and they borrowed my Instax mini polaroid camera for the guests to take mug shots and write little words of affirmation and what not. We liked our picture so much we had to remember how cute it was and how gorgeous we were. lol

My friends from high school met up at Hanks Riverwalk Grill for dinner. It is always fun to see them. The fat pregnant lady (yeah that was me) talked them into getting Kilo's Italian Ice. I tried for Nielson's frozen custard, but they looked at me like I literally was crazy so we settled for the healthier italian Ice. It is a lot like Luna's in SLC minus the custard. They just have cream or regular ice cream. The custard is what made Luna's have a special place in my heart. 

Oliver is such a character. He is constantly putting on these cool dude glasses and running around. Sometimes with a gun in his hand sometimes in his hulk costume. He seriously is such a happy fun loving little guy. If the little tyke hears music without even thinking he is dancing. He could be eating and music will come on and his booty will start shaking. Love him to pieces.
