Go Aggies!

This year, we joined Jr. Aggies. The boys got a free dinner, including cookie with A on it.

Then they got to ride "the bull", Rex did Awesome!

Zachary had a blast!

Spencer did well also.

Dad couldn't stay on long enough to get a picture. I guess he just doesn't make a very good cowboy!

Our Jr. Aggies!

The Jr. Aggies scared all the Weber State Wild Cats with their horns.

Go Aggies!!!!

Believe it or not, they lasted the entire game! Even when we showed up early.

We love USU and think we've found our new family tradition!

Look, our fifth one arrived early! I think he fits in really well!

The boys even got Big Blue's signature!

Just before the game!

On the field waiting to run onto the field.

Dad and the boys got to run out behind the cheerleaders and in front of the football team.

We did it! Now get off the field before we get ran over by the football players!

Campout at Grandpa's

Spencer working on his cubscouts, learning to start a camp fire.

Grandpa was so patient, even when we used about $5 of matches.

Next on list, roast hotdogs

Fun, fun, and after all this, we got to sleep in a tent.

The younger boy cousins even came and joined us for the smores and then tent.

Back to School Dates with Mom

Believe it or not, He ate most of this food. This tradition was started in Spencer's family.

Now Amy has carried it on. Individual dates with kids before school starts. Go Brandt, Chug chug chug.

Ist Day of School

We now officially have three in school. Sorry Brandt, a couple more years.

Spencer's first day in the 4th Grade!

Zachary's first day in the 2nd Grade!

Rex is thrilled to join the ranks in Kindergarten!

The best part of it all, they get to ride the bus!

They really enjoy the bus.

Because Rex is the only kindergartener in our neighborhood attending morning, he gets dropped right at our front door step...so very nice.

Canning

If you've ever wondered what to do with free pinto beans and green beans? Can baby can! Nice job Amy!

Spencer's Half Marathon

Although I didn't do as well this time, my family was there to support me!

The boys ran the last .01 miles of the hard 13.1 miles.

Shumway Family Reunion

It was fun for the kids to ride with cousins!

Brandt hung out with Mom on the train.

Brandt Loved the Giraffe!

The boys got to try out their sling shots at the Farmington Pond.

Dad even baited the hooks and let them try fishing. We like to say the fish just weren't biting, the likelihood is though there weren't any fish.

Rex was the most patient, but never had any luck!

After a while they turned to feeding ducks instead of feeding fish.

They also had a little bit of hiking on the rocks.

Trip to Grandma & Grandpa Workman's

The boys love going to G&G Workman's. Grandpa always has projects for them to do. There favorite is using all the power tools and toys that Grandpa has. He is so patient but they do wear him out quick. They also love the tootsie rolls that Grandma always has. They are good at raiding her of what she has left. :)
