visit with Chelsea and falls

We took a short trip to Twin Fall and saw the amazing Shoshone falls! I couldn't believe how much water was spraying us when we got out of the parked car. I have always wanted to see these falls like they look on the post cards you can buy....and I finally did. AMAZING!!! Thats all I have to say about that! Now lets move on to the amzing pictures of Silas and I infront of the falls. My sis took 3 pictures......they can't all be bad...Right?

Picture #1 not looking so good, Silas was mad that I was holding him and was not happy that he was being sprayed with water

Picture #2, Silas still hasn't moved but yet I can't seem to hold still and look at the camera and smile. 3rd times a charm, right?

Well thats a solid NO. Oh well they are real and who said I needed to be a model anyway. You get the just of it, we saw the falls.

Here is the reason we came to Twin! Chelsea (Silas' birth mom) was in town and little baby Ryker! We were so excited to see him and hold him and kiss him.........we were exctied to see you too Chelsea. Silas had just burned his hand so he is not so happy in this picture.

This is Camden, can you tell these 2 are related? They look like twins to me. I couldn't get over it! She is technically Silas' Great uncles daughter? Would that make her a cousin? Anyway these 2 had a blast together.

Look they even have to same cute wink!

Silas was so happy to hold Ryker! He LOVED this baby. Chelsea was so good to let Silas hold him and feed him as much as he wanted. I hope these 2 boys will have a close relationship with eachother. Gosh I can't wait to see Silas holding Samara!

We had to tickle Silas to make him smile. He likes to make me work to get a good picture.

What have I been up to?

I will tell ya..............in no certain order

We celebrated Laken's birthday! And have spent lots of time just hanging with these guys.

We took a much needed trip to the zoo!

MOthers Day was fabulous thanks to my thoughtful man!

Ethan asked Silas questions and wrote his answers on our patio doors. A few of my personal favorites were "mom says don't throw sand" and " When I think of mom I think of Jesus". Honestly I can't believe my son said he thinks of Jesus when he thinks of me!! I do not deserve that but really appreciated hearing it. Being a mom can be such a thankless job..............so those sweet moments are very much appreciated and valued!

Ethan thought it would be fun to honor all the Women in the family with a crown on mothers day. We decided to pick up my sis in Law Melissa because.........well who really knows why. LOL

MY sis Tracy came for a visit!

To see this cute girl Hannah graduate!

We spent lots of time being silly and laughing...............gosh I miss ya Tracy!

Just being silly girls!

So you ask is that all? No it is not..............I have also spent lots of time thinking! I've got lots on my mind, and lots that I am trying to figure out. I will save that for another post. :)
