Burger Challenge (Part 3)


We have finally made it over the hump! More than halfway to succeeding at this challenge! Today we went to Grub's! My brothers didn't join us because Clay was sick, but they will catch up soon!


I have to say, this has been our favorite burger so far! I didn't think it would be but I think their secret is the cheese! So yummy :)

Grub's Drive In is a small little diner and everyone sits together up at the counter. It is a lot of fun and James thought it was way cool. He even pointed out that his daddy was sitting by a stranger but that's half the fun. It really brings you back in time and honestly the way it's built brings people together! Again, this has been our favorite stop!!

Now I have more pictures today because I couldn't decide my favorite of James!

Now that's a good burger!

Backyard Camping

Get ready for a picture overload because this last week was a very fun one! It did start like any other week, with our music class. Sadly this was our last one. It has been fun and this is the first time I have done the class too. It has been pretty cool watching James. He loves asking for his favorite activities like "Jack be nimble". Unfortunately James doesn't pronounce to great so it is like he keeps asking his teacher for "Jacks nipple"! I am just glad she caught on quick what he keeps asking for!! Peter enjoys the class also. He loves whenever I dance with him and all of the little instruments that he tries to put in his mouth.

The rest of the week went on as normal with the burger challenge thrown in but then on Thursday Matt's package showed up at Walmart. The new family tent!!! Since we have grown we decided it was time to buy a bigger tent and I am way excited! We also bought new sleeping bags, big king size bags that zip together so we can have a big bed. It also goes down to -5 degrees which is pretty awesome because I hate being cold. Matt was so excited that he decided to put up the tent in the backyard. And if you have a tent in the backyard you just have to sleep in it! James and Matt decided to test it out. Peter and I made the decision that the bed was a much better option so we stayed inside. 


Late night snack before venturing out to the tent!

Our new tent! Yay!

James thought this was so cool! 

Lexi was pretty excited too!

In the morning I let Peter have a try at the sleeping bags. He seems pretty excited for camping this summer! I'm thinking July fourth will be our first family voyage in this thing!

On Saturday, we got even busier. My sister Claire was coming over and it just so happened that the city was having their city wide cleanup. We called up my brothers, Mark and Kevyn, and went to clear some trash in the dessert near our home. These kids worked hard to show they cared, I was very proud of them all.



Peter helped by being happy the entire time! He loves walks!

Our trash pile!! The kids found so much! 

After some hard work, it was time for some fun! We pulled out our pool and filled it up for the kids to play in. One of our neighbors walked by and laughed saying that "Only in Wyoming is 70 degree weather appropriate swimming weather!"

The hose was hooked up to our hot water heater but even with the warm water Claire was very much taken by surprise by this! 


Lexi really enjoyed the water!


James did end up getting a little cold but then mama got to have some cuddle time! No complaints here!

To end our week we bought Peter a jumper and he absolutely loves it! It is so funny watching his hop up and down; he gets so excited! James also likes playing with him and Peter loves when his big brother plays with him!



I have a goofy pair of kids!


I will end this post with Peter's new silly thing! He loves making faces with his tongue and blowing bubbles!
