Mud Fights and Little Boys

So this last week we've been getting random rain. Honestly I am loving it! Usually by this time of year the moisture would be snow, so the rain is so refreshing, and is making fall last even longer! Last Saturday it was raining pretty well, so after the afternoon session of conference, we decided to go out and have a dance party in the rain. The boys were LOVING it. And then Rob suggested they play in the mud. Both of my OCD boys were a little hesitant (Weston definitely more so than Colton) but they got into it pretty quick. I had to go inside, because my mom reflexes were going crazy. But those boys played out there for over half an hour, and Rob had to literally drag them in when it was time to be done. They loved it. And now every time it starts raining Westons asks all excitedly if we can go have a mud fight. Sorry buddy... that one is saved for daddy time. ;)

September recap

This last month has been such a blur! Between elk season, prepping for deer season, and trying our hand at bear hunting, it has been busy and fun! School has started back up, Rob and I are both still working like crazy, and we are all just trying to get out and enjoy life while the weather is still decent!

The beginning of September we went elk hunting. Although I didn't get one :( We were blessed enough to have Rob get his on the second day of the hunt. Now we get to see him more, and got another 100 + pounds of meet in the fridge. Yay!

Once we got the elk taken care of, it was off for much adventuring to find a good bear hunting spot. Honestly, this was such a blast. The boys loved the jeep rides, and the fall colors were so pretty!!!

Although taking the boys with us to set up the bait stand probably wasn't our smartest move (over 200 pounds of donuts and desserts, plus the two boys up and down a mountain... not super fun) They still had a blast.

Other happenings this month, :) 

we attempted story time at the library. Although Colton looks totally absorbed, this was the only time he actually held still the whole time :/ 

Rob built this bench for me in just a few hours so that I actually have somewhere to sit in the backyard while the kids play.

Weston has graduated to BB gun. He thought it was the coolest thing ever! He loved the dad time, and thought getting to shoot a "real" gun was awesome. :)

And a picture of a picture of baby... because seriously, he's already adorable!
