Fun Boy Stories

Well there is always something going on around here that is journal worthy. Here are a bunch of pictures some with a fun story some just worth looking at.


This is a picture that was earlier this spring obviously! The boys have been into mountain men like Davy Crockett and Daniel Boon. Addler is moving to the mountains behind our house as soon as he can shoot a real gun and survive. Maestin reads up on both of these men as well as many others, he never stops reading. And Ruxton just follows along and makes everything a lot funner. In one of the books that Maestin read, it talks about Daniel Boon "running away" at a young age. Meastin was on a run away kick. So, between Addler wanting to be a mountain man, Maestin running away, and Ruxton doing whatever for a good adventure this is what they came up with, on the coldest night of the week. This is their fort they built in the back yard. They got real far. The boards on the front and back are to keep the Owl that lives back there from getting them. They were out there for ever. I was getting worried because it was so cold. Austin just sat with a grin on his face. I bribed them in the house with a bowl of ice cream. The best way to a boys heart. (Maestin's head is sticking out the back.)


I think that this picture pretty much speaks for itself. Everyone was in bed except Holdan. Maestin happens to come up and runs to get us, "mom and dad you have to come see Holdan" this is what we found! I think he is saying sorry.


If he is feeling good enough to dump the vaporizer out he doesn't need it in his room any longer. We walked in and he says. "Daddy all wet" Really?!How fun would it have been to have such big brothers? They are so fun they do anything that he wants. They love him as much as he loves them.
Me and the boys wanted to go the the DNCFR, so we went with Grandma and Grandpa Price. It was a lot of fun and they sat and watched the entire rodeo. And of course with Grandpa Price we stayed after for a bit to watch the sleepers get roped and thrown. Bet he has never had kids that loved to to that with him!


Well I have been calling him my baby and that might have to change! He is now out of his crib and in the "big boy bed" He loves it and thinks it is so cool to say his prayers kneeling down next to it. He is getting so big, and may get in a lot of things and make messes but... yea I will still call him my baby!

Mothers and Sons

""I knew you'd come! O Marmar! I did want you so!" For a moment they kissed and clung to one another, quite forgetting all the world; for no matter how lost and soiled and worn-out wandering sons may be, mothers can forgive and forget every thing as they fold them in their fostering arms. Happy the son whose faith in his mother remains unchanged, and who, through all his wanderings, has kept some filial token to repay her brave and tender love."

Easter

Easter at our house was a bit wintry. We woke up Saturday to about four inches of slow and the wind was blowing at our house bad! But, the boys knewthe hunt was that morning and had big plans for the famous Malad Easter Egg Hunt so we bundled up and went. Austin was out feeding cows I called and asked if he was going, he said, "Oh, I thought you wouldn't go!" that is how cold it was. The boys had fun. Holdan was cute he would dig for a egg in the snow pick it up then wipe off his hands. He loved it and he found a Golden egg. Maestin did as well. Two of the boys received a coupon for a real baby chick, so I guess we will buy two more, smart store!




That night Maestin and Addler were determined to stay up for the Easter bunny. I went out in the front room around 10:30 pm and there they were laying asleep in front of the fire. We sent them down and Addler cried all the way to bed because he thought Maestin was going to stay up and then the Easter Bunny wouldn't come! The Bunny almost didn't I think he was tired. They had a good Easter and I loved laying in bed listening to them search for all the candy. When Holdan woke up he was so excited so were big brothers. Me and Austin gave them a bunch of books, and they all got a new shirt. As soon as Holdan saw his, he wanted it on. We had a great day spending it together and watching conference. It was a wonderful day with lots of memories made of us together as a family.So a note about these last two pictures. You are wondering what is wrong with that family? Well so was I . I wanted a picture of them all in their new shirts. This is what I got, and this is not all the pictures I took. They were driving me crazy so I told them I was gong to post a picture of how crazy they were for everyone to see, so here you go my crazy, yet so cute, boys! I know there is a reason the lord wanted me to have boys... What Is It!


This is Addler in his new Easter shirt and some new long johns that he found. How he came up with this I don't know but I thought it was cute. He changes at least five times a day. He has to dress the part for what ever game he is playing!
