Ty, Hair, Food....Ty...

Ty cracks me up! He just gets out of the shower, dries his hair with the towel, throws on some clothes and walk out the door. He also eats Panda Express at In N Out.....it's just how he rolls....ya can't help but love him 😍

Home Teaching Twins

They ended up as twins going home teaching tonight! I hadn't washed whites yet because I knew I didn't need to before Sunday....ooops, forgot about their home teaching appointments! Ryan wore one of Ty's shirts and than a sweater over it because it was too big. I thought they looked adorable but I can't use that word in reference to them!!!

After Football Game Smiles

After Game Chit Chat

I sooooo love that Ed is here this football season to talk to Ty after his games!!! He just knows what to ask and all that stuff!!! I am quite the lame football dad!!!!

Boots & Football

When I picked up Ty from football he comes walking to the car in his boots and shorts. One of his coaches stops and looks at him and just shakes his head, smiles, and keeps walking. I am laughing as Ty gets in the car. This kid always has me laughing. I love that he is who he is and he is happy with who he is and doesn't ever try to be what he thinks people think he should be, if that even makes sense!  He loves his boots and he doesn't care if they are in style or not. He said some of the kids looked at his weird when he asked if it was legal to hunt cyotees. I laughed and said he might want to check with his dog and see how she feels about that. He laughed. 

Ty entertained me walking up to the front door.

Ty Driving

In between conference sessions we did some off road driving in the jeep and some hiking. This was Ty's turn driving. He is our cautious driver. He did really good, but is VERY cautious and when we came to a steep down hill he refused to drive any further!!! One of the nice things about living in the middle of nowhere, it is very easy and very close to home to just turn off the main roads and explore dirt roads out in the desert! 

 

He Needed Black Socks....

Math Night With Ty

It's Math Night at Ty's school.....the introduction to Common Core and what he will be learning this year and the whole time he is at Silver Valley High School. They also are serving us dinner. My lucky night!

Pretty soon he is going to be as tall as his Dad!!!

Ty is wearing his Dads boots and a shirt Jorden left

behind that Jorden wore when he was in high school!

It's a pizza dinner night and it isn't even the weekend! These boys are happy!

I don't like to draw blocks! I just write out the numbers

and draw lines!

But Ty drew out all the blocks for us! Yay for when

they came by to check our work!  

He's such a cute kid!

Going To The Counter On Her Own

Vicki is getting her permit....she is 18....she gets to go to the counter all by herself now....

Woke Up To Growls And A Stare Down

OH MY GOSH!!! Woke up to all these low deep in the chest growls and feeling all this pulling in my hair.....as i slowly opened my eyes and began to relaize what i was seeing and hearing it was Bella and Jasper having a stare down at each other with the sary "i'm gonna tear you to peices" growling going on. I had felt Bellas little paws digging into my head and pulling my hair, like she was digging for something but i had no idea what these 2 dogs were all in each others face over. I grabbed Bella and got up and felt something fall out of my hair and land on the carpet. It was a piece of Jasper's tennis ball!!! Jasper has had this tennis ball since early June always carying it around in his mouth. A few days ago he finally broke thru it and began shredding it. This is all that is left of it and Bella had stolen it from him and hid it in my hair when he came for it. Jeez!!! Crazy dogs!!! It was quite the site to wake up too!!!

Front Porch Lovins'

Tank was insistent on wanting to give Ryan lovins today on the front porch!!! It was sooo cute! Tank has been extra affectionate these days! I hope he isn't trying to tell us goodbye!!! He will be 11 this month....i've had Tank almost as long as i have had Ryan!!!

I Just Put My Face In The Dirt

Ty said football practice was insane tonight. He said he was so tired by the time they were doing push-ups that when they would stop he would just drop his face in the dirt! He said he didn't care, it actually smelled good! He was covered in dirt and was VERY stinky. But he sure does love Football!  Tonight after his shower he is memorizing the plays.....nights I wish his Daddy was here....I know I am saying and asking all the wrong things....but he is nice with the eye rolling when I don't understand this football language!

Redbox Selection

All three picking movies...it's summertime!!!

Aqua Spin With Ryan

Ryan came to Aqua Spin with me today. he likes this class. he came with me all the time last summer! Bronwyns daughter, Elizabeth, came with her today, so we dubbed it 'Bring Your Youngest To Spin Class' day. We had a fun work out!

Aqua Bootcamp

Vicki and I went to a new class today. It was from 8:30-10:00 am at the New River gym. It was a great class. Vicki and I were the only girls. The mermaids, me and Vicki, totally dominated the deep water part of the work out. Vicki dominated the whole class, the little show off. Just kidding. She did totally awesome! I was dying with the land part! The sit ups, squats, and push ups were kicking my booty! And planking alternating with push ups, TOTALLY not my thing! But it was a great class and definitely want to keep doing this class!!!

Not Batman, SUPERMAN!

I took Ty cleat shopping today. I pointed out the Batman cleats and he said, "No Mom! SUPERMAN!!!" I guess I know where he stands on the whole Batman Superman debate.

It's A Hypothesis....

Ryan and i went out for a frozen yogurt. While he was eating i noticed the shirt he was wearing was getting small on him. It is one of his favorite shirts and i remembered when it was actually too big on him! Now i could see the bones of his shoulders at the seams, the seams that no longer were lower than his shoulders!!
I said, "Ryan you have been growing! That shirt is getting too small on you. What have you been doing to grow?!!!
Ryan continued shoveling in his frozen yogurt and just kind of looked over at me. In between bites he nonchalantly said this...."If you scream at grass it will grow. Vicki is always yelling at me, so I'm growing.....(long pause) It's a hypothesis Mom. And he just continued eating his frozen yogurt while i almost choked on mine cracking up! He is sooo funny! I love these times just chit chatting with him.  

Hot Day Cool Night Treat

Ryan was my buddy all afternoon today. On our way home tonight we stopped at Peach Tree and got ourselves some yummy frozen yogurt. It was a hot day today!

My yummy creation!

He's such a cute kid!!! Just love him! He always has the funniest things to say! Ryan has this crazy mind that just takes things in and than sends them back out in just the funniest of ways.

Sneak Peak: Transformers Age Of Extinction

The base was having a sneak peak of the new Transformers movie tonight. 

Malificant was showing at 3:30 so the boys went and saw that while I sat in my chair and read my book.  The boys said Maieficant was really good! I can't wait to see it!!!

A storm was rolling in when the boys had gotten out of the afternoon movie. The clouds got really dark and soon the thunder started booming. It was LOUD!!! The lightening was really close so the theater opened up early and started letting everyone in because it was getting dangerous with the lightening! I was the first person in line so we got in and bought our stuff at the consession stand and were seated in our favorite seats right away. Others weren't so lucky. I guess when it started raining it was pouring bucket fulls of water! People were soaking wet! In the bathroom people had their shirts off and were ringing them out over the sinks! I'm glad i missed Malificent and was Super Mom and sat in my chair reading instead!!!  

But Transformeers was really good! I was wondering if it was going to be like the last one, just repeat with a different location......but it was really good!!! The boys totally loved it!

Trying Out Uniform Looks From The Past

Having some photo fun at the Marine Corps Museum! The boys don't think this is fun anymore!!! I still do, so they have to! I'm Mom!
