1st Week of August

 Steve and the boys had a really busy 1st week of August.  Here are some highlight.

Cute baby Hudson got himself trapped under the laundry basket.  Silly boy.

Monday morning Steve drove up to the cabin w/ the boys to do some work around the cabin.  Dave, Joann, Stacie, London Claire and Conor went up the night before.  Steve cut down trees and the boys helped gather the wood/debris and put it in the dump.  London Claire helped entertain Hudson inside.  The boys ended up staying overnight Monday night w/ Dave and Joann.  

Steve carved Nyles and Carter's names in some of the wood from the trees he cut down.  

Dave ordered a big load of more gravel to put around the cabin.

The kids thought it was fun to watch the truck.  The lawn is now more open after Steve cut down trees.

Steve went back up on Tuesday and brought the boys home to sleep.  He then went back up on Wednesday, so 3 days in a row.  The boys were definitely tired when they got back.  They got a lot of work done though and made good progress on items that needed to be completed.

Friday afternoon, after I got work, Steve and the boys went up to Idaho to pick corn.  They took Rob w/ them, and I stayed home w/ Baby Hudson and Piper.  Saturday morning Steve, Rob and Nyles went out to shoot pigeons.  It was Nyles' first time shooting a gun other than a bb gun.  He thought it was a lot of fun and wants to do it more.  After they got back they went out and picked corn, next to the house.

Nyles and Carter picking corn.  It was pretty tall for them, so that made it a little tricky.  

They still had a fun time picking the corn though.

Steve was in charge of cooking the corn, and Rob and my mom cut the corn and bagged it.  It took them about 5 hours but they did it.  All together they did almost 100 quart bags of corn.  Good work!

Carter playing w/ trains downstairs, and Nyles practice shooting again.

Many of the corn cobs they went through.  Hudson helping me w/ laundry back at home :)

Sunday Hudson and I went to church.  Gotta love his silly faces.

Sunday afternoon Steve and the boys made it home.  We picked a couple of our watermelons we grew this year.  They are very sweet, which Nyles loves!  That evening we went up to Centerville to Stacie/Phill's for our monthly family dinner.

I'm so thankful that families are eternal.
