We took our last Camping trip with the family this past weekend. (I say that like we slept up there or something.) I am not a very good camper so we came home late at night. We did have a blast sitting around the campfire playing truth or dare. We learned a lot about everyone. We always have a great time with my family. We love to laugh, and with Matt and Tim in one place we are bound to laugh. Thanks to Sherrie and Thad for doing most of the work.
You always throw a good party.

Masons first day of Preschool

Miss Melva and Mason. He is so excited to be in preschool

What a stud!

Mason and Kaden
Mason started preschool last week. He seems way to little to be in school. I almost started to cry to see my baby go to school. He was so excited I thought he would burst. He has watched Madie go for so long that he couldn't wait to go. Peyton isn't in his class but I can never resist a picture of those two. They are adorable!

Labor Day weekend at Bear World

The kids had a blast riding the rides again and again
The petting zoo was a blast!

They had baby bears just 5 feet from us. They were adorable.

Five kids in one car. Yes we did survive.

Josh, Mason, Caleb, Madie and Elizabeth at Bear World

Nana with the kids!

We were lucky enough to feed the bears.

It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. they would sit up and wave at you to throw the food.

The Momma deer at the petting zoo loved Mason.

Every time he touched her she would give him a big kiss.

We spent Labor Day at Bear World.

It is just south of Rigby, Idaho.
It is the funnest place! It took us about three hours to get there and we stayed in a hotel Sunday night. Then we spent the afternoon at Bear World and drove home. It is the perfect weekend vacation for the family. You drive threw the park and see all sorts of animals, Bears, Wolves, Elk and Moose. Then they have a petting zoo for the kids. They had a baby deer that Madie fell in love with. All of the animals were so tame. It was a once in a lifetime experience. They also have a little carnival at the end with rides for the kids. They had a blast! We took a tour and got to feed the bears. It was the cutest thing, they would beg for the food. It was unreal to be that close to a real bear. They look like really big teddy bears. It was one of the best short vacations we have been on. It was just short enough to not drive us crazy and totally worth the drive. Nana and Matt's kids went with us. Even with 5 kids in one car we still had an amazing time.

Mason and T Ball

Mase played T ball this summer. He is a little bit young but Uncle Ty was his coach.It was so funny to see these little guys playing t ball. Mason played about half the game and then gave out. His lungs make it hard for him to play for a long time. We just pray he out grows it. He had a great time and Thanks Uncle Ty and Papa Al for being great coaches.
