Time Flies!

Okay... here's the deal. Summer=lot's of stuff but Summer also = no blogging. I don't know why but seriously sometimes the thought of loading my photos onto my computer and writing a post seems DAUNTING... so sorry that I am a lazy bum but I'm blaming it on Summer. This post will have a ridiculous amount of photos but it all happened within the last week and a half. Since I am lazy I will give you the rundown since I probably won't explain each photo. 

We've been swimming a lot, Addy's had swimming lesson too. She is to brave for her own good! All the Stout boys and cousin Caleb hauled a lot of hay for my Father in law. It was quite the workout for them I'm sure. We went to the Stout cabin up on their ranch on East Zion. It's beautiful and fun. We went will some friends from St. George and of course Caleb and Steph! Events I don't have photos of... All 16 kids (and parents) from my husbands family went to the temple this weekend since the youngest is going on a mission. He was called to serve in Somoa! Awesome huh!!! 

after jumping off this diving board she looked at me and said "Now I want to do the High one" Someone help me!!

Daddy got off work in time to help unload and stack the hay.

I know it's  not in focus but I love this photo thats Daniel tossing the bale.

notice my daughter's bare feet? She will not wear shoes, Daniel calls her his little savage.

"talking to the fishies"

Sophie, Me & Liam, Steph going on a trail ride.

My little Liam turned 2 this past week, he devoured his cupcake and loved his toy truck.

mostly we just ate lots of food :)

addy's pants crack me up, these two colored for a long time.

proud of this shot Daniel asked me to get the shell discharging from the gun and you can totally see it. Nice form Sophie!

Steph was a little hesitant at first

Gage loved shooting the 22

I haven't been up to much, I'm tired and haven't taken too many photos lately but my dear sister Lillie gets these posts as emails on her mission and I wanted to post this picture of her nephew Jason I took awhile back I knew she'd get a kick out of it.

Boys Boys Boys

So my little Addy is gone for a week to Oregon. I'm sad but when we skyped tonight she would barely say hello before she was back outside with her cousin feeding kittens. Pretty sure she's in heaven right now we'll see if it lasts. So now it's just me and my boys, in honor of that I found some pics I've been meaning to post most of them featuring my favorite boys.

There is a rope swing out at my in-laws. The kids usually stand on it and swing like this....

 Liam however was not to be left out and figured out his own way to swing I couldn't stop laughing how cute he was doing this.

 he would just hook his arms in there and back up then lift his legs and swing.

 Back inside at the flat my newest nephew is always being passed around 

 but his brother Linky can steal the show when he gets owies...

 Now this photo is not a nephew or my favorite but he is the biggest boar I have ever seen, the white pig that looks small is a full grown sow who is pregnant none the less

 Boys love the farm and Liam is learning all the fun things to do. He now constantly begs for RIDES on the four wheeler from anyone who looks sympathetic. Daddy often obliges and takes both the kids on rides

We are going to miss this little girl, Liam especially will (he already asks her all the time). But I do look forward to spending some more time with my sweet little guy.

Naming

Let's be honest, I have cute nephews. And Jason Wynn Stout is no exception. He was blessed today and it was fun to see my parents and brother. It was also cute to see this little guy wear his "Princess dress" that's what his Brother Linky called it.

 Sweet Smile

  Love the one below with Jason "kissing" Tyson...he really did so cute.

 They were squirmy, wild, loud typical boys but they sure do have personality.

 Glad you're part of the clan Jason!

Memorable

So this memorial day was special because my sister in law Crystel gave her homecoming address on Sunday. Also there was a Wallace Family Reunion (Daniel's grandma's family). Daniel's sweet Aunt Sara put it on and though I met a few new people I was most excited to see all of Daniel's Aunts and Uncles and the cousins. Also all of Daniel's siblings came to town except one (who lives pretty far away) This meant lots and lots of people...and kids. Out of the 65 grandkids there were 54 of them present. So Lots and Lots of playing with cousins (my kids were in heaven!) One of my favorite things about this weekend was hanging out with AMANDA.... I just love her, she's so sweet and always willing to help (she's even willing to pluck my eyebrows when she comes NOW that's a true friend!) I really like this photo of us...mostly because it shows how I will forever be in her shadow of pure awesomeness!

 Aunt Sara also arranged some fun activities like a candy canon for the kids, and rides in a horse drawn wagon. Liam pretty much was terrified of the ride but Addy loved it. Here's Ms. Whitey (Addy bug) in the drivers seat.

 Remember all those kids I was telling you about? Well it seemed like half of them were under 5. Daniel volunteered (I volunteering him) to drive the kids back the short distance to Grandma's because the adults were going to have a catered dutch oven dinner. Now I know there were no car seats (don't judge us it would have taken about 7 cars to make that trip...) Anyways Daniel was laughing because he was talking to people while parents were getting their kids in and he then he turned around to look at his passengers and saw lots of little round faces peeping over the seats. There really were a lot of kids I wish I could have got a full shot but this should give you an idea.

  On Sunday we went to Crystel's thing, I sang with some SIL and nieces I also sat next to the most handsome boys!!!

  We all got together again for Sunday dinner there were over 100 people there... it was crazy, chaotic and pure FUN 

I call this picture the calm amidst the storm

I love how Stout's can fall asleep in any situation

Anyways on Monday morning my sister and my cousin and I made Sourdough Pancakes in honor of our Grandpa and we also made Whole wheat buttermilk and Blueberry pancakes to feed the masses. It was fun though it's always sad to say goodbye to family.
