A few changes

I can feel the business of life starting to set it. My baby has started JOY SCHOOL! I can not believe that he is old enough to go to school! And in only 2 more years I will be sending him out the door to REAL school. Time goes by so fast. This is him all ready for school.

His birthday happened to fall on the day we hosted Joy School so we got to have a little party.

And eat cupcakes!

And this little girl is almost completly mobile! She can stand very well on her own and she has taken 3-4 steps! Her birthday is right around the corner!! Is my other baby almost really 1?!

Meanwhile, she loves to cruise around with her walker. It amazes me that in 11 short months what she has learned and accomplished!

These two have become the best of buddies. They love to roll on the floor together and laugh. When Mollie wakes up in the morning the first person she cares to see in Carter. And she just smiles so big at him. I hope my kids stay friends forever.

Hymas Reunion '11

As usual, the Hymas reunion didn't disappoint this year! All of Chad's 6 siblings and their families were there except one. Lot of family, lots of food, lots of volleyball, and LOTS of fun!
In true Hymas tradition, Awesome Uncle Chris brought out motorcycles for everyone to ride. I love the look of fear and excitement on Carter's face!

Chad even got in on the fun!

The nephews taught Carter how to play indian poker.....

And he always won! ;)

And a pink 4 wheeler made its debut this year at the reunion since there were a few more girls running around this year. Of course, the boys loved it just as much!

We escaped to town for ice cream one day. Mollie LOVED it.

Carter & his cousins

Thanks for the memories Hymas Family! We love you!!

Mollie's 9 Month Photos

MY FAVORITE!!!! LOVE THOSE EYES! ^^^

'm a little slow, but here are Mollie's 9 Month photos. My mother in law Evelyn does such a great job! I'm so blessed to have a photographer in the family who captures all these great moments. I know I wouldn't have these otherwise!

Carter loved having his trike up camping...especially because he knew Ryker would push him around on it!

Mollie even got in on some dirt action....what can I say, we're camping!

Oh what do you do in the summer time?

Do you eat fresh mangoes by the pound?
or boat in a tube?

or maybe jump in a freezing cold river for fun?

Is that what you do?? So do I!!Maybe you swim...

or eat giant berries.....

or blow lots of bubbles for your nephews?

Is that what you do?? So do I!

We have had a FANTASTIC summer! And these are just a fraction of all the fun pictures we have! Hope your summer is as sweet as ours!

Antelope & The 4th

Ww had a Happy 4th of July! This little girl turned 9 months old! And it was her first time seeing fireworks (which she didnt like). We spent it in Arco after returning from a camping trip at Antelope Creek.
We went to the parade with a lot of the Hymas'.

At night we went to Idaho Falls for the fireworks with Chad's parents. They were really great.

Poor Mollie didn 't know what to think!

At our annual family camping trip to Antelope, we had a wonderful time catching up with cousins and grandma & grandpa D.

Carters favorite thing was going gor 4-wheeler rides....

Poor kid was so worn out he fell asleep on a ride!

Me, Chad, my brothers, and some cousins hiked up to Iron Bog Lake one day... It was beautiful!

We tromped through SO much snow and waterfalls too!

AMAZING view

The gang at the lake

Love this bridge. Many memories have been had here.

Carter & Papa blowing bubbles

Not the best family photo, but probly the only one we got while we were there.

Mollie did pretty well on her first camping trip. She got cold at night the first night, but other than that it was a great trip for her. She loved swinging in the hammock!

And this little guy i didn't hardly see the whole weekend. He was so busy running around with is cousins (fwends). He had such a blast digging in the dirt, blowing bubbles, and going for rides. He is a boy through and through and was BLACK head to toe at the end of every day. And i didnt even care! :D
