June 2018

ANOTHER busy, but fun month! OIT has continued to be successful for Tripp! We are on track to finish up the beginning of October. 
The Child family came to town for a Moab Vacation, we did lots of hiking, biking and hanging out. The kids CRASHED out the second it was over. 
Tripp finished baseball season, he also had his very first SLURPEE ever! It was exciting. 
There was a large fire in Moab that was close enough to give us all a good scare, our house stayed in the clear, but 10 homes were a total loss about a mile away from us.
We welcomed a new fur baby to the family, an 8 week old (Birthday is May 3rd 2018) Great Dane puppy! We named him Mozzie, Jon has been begging for one FOREVER. So far, Mozzie has already become Jon's shadow, he's fitting in great with all the humans, and is working on the other animals, he's terrified of the cats, due to one smacking him the first day he was here, and Mani just finds him to be extremely annoying, Mani is slightly jealous and has old man syndrome when Mozzie pounces around him like a pogo-stick. 
Caron, Dustin and Jon rode The Whole Enchilada, well almost the whole enchilada. 
The Child family at Millcreek.
Caff at Millcreek.

A few of the crew rode Slickrock! They mostly survived.


Most of them did Bar M... Safety first... wear a helmet while running :-)
Tripp!

Tripp and Jon on the ledge.


The BIG hike.... was Delicate Arch.

Our Mani! 

The boys swimming with Todd!

Sums them up... total opposites, Caffrey all snuggled into his blankets, and Tripp... well.... not.

It's tough being a kid.

This is Andi, she LOVES Tripp.

When they like each other.

Baseball

The boys all camped in the backyard one night. Caff clung tightly to his flashlight, and Jon, but Jon moved him away once he was asleep. They loved it. One of these days, we will go REAL camping. Maybe :)

Finally caught a good pic of these two! :-)

These 3..... Caffrey, Tripp and Izzy

Grandma Connie came for a visit and to watch one of Tripp's games!

The boys started Montessori School for the Summer. Caffrey will be going there this coming school season until preschool starts, so we thought it would be a good transition, and something to do for summer time.

Some of the smoke from the fire. 

FIRST SLURPEE!



Baseball pics!

Todd got a Traeger for Fathers Day, ALL the boys were super interested!



The day we picked Mozzie up! He was one of 13 in the litter!



This is pretty much how he lays, all the time! 


More awkward Mozzie.
Mani wanted a drink... and thought this was the best way to do that. 


Todd was teaching Tripp how to Traeger! 

May 2018

May, another successful month of OIT for Tripp! No major reactions so far! Tripp also graduated Kindergarten the end of May and we had an awesome visit from Nana, Todd and Todd's family.

Clearly moms kid!

Safety First :-)


Awwww these boys!

On one of our drives back to Moab from SLC, we stopped at Spanish Fork Starbucks and these guys were all hanging out there. Tripp was SUPER intrigued by them, he had just been learning about Memorial Day and what it means, so he kept relating it back to that. He was nervous but he went up and talked to them, and they were VERY cool guys! They chatted with him, and gave him some cool patches right off their uniforms. Tripp's day was made! 
Caff... when dad mows the lawn.


Mia got injured and had to learn the hard way on leaving it alone. She was not amused by her new accessory. She is better now, and maybe, just maybe learned a lesson or two.... but probably not. 

He hasn't fallen asleep on either of us in FOREVER, so had to capture that moment. 

Caffrey and Oaklee..... cute cousins!

Girls day out for Mothers Day! Pedicures!

It's Dirty Beach time! AKA Millcreek :-)

Just hangin..... 

More dirty beach!


Caffrey got a REAL haircut! He asked for his hair to be short! He was sick of it getting in his eyes, we were sad to cut it, and lose those long curls, but it is more manageable this way and he loves it :-)

Brothers

Tripp made some friends at OIT.

Caff ran into a wooden sword at the baseball game one night, it barely missed his eyeball!

When we can't play outside.....

Swimming at the house that Nana and Todd rented while visiting Moab.


Tripp learned how to play Marco Polo with Cody and Shandra.


Tripp's graduation from Kindergarten!
