Radley Can Ride A.....

BIKE!!!  At 2 years and 11 months old.... really????  Yep really!!

Today we went to Bear Creek Lake for a family bike ride.  Jeff told Ashton he would have to learn to ride his bike, without his training wheels before he could go Mt. biking with him..... And that is exactly what he did!!

New Mt. Bike

YETI!  A while back one of Jeff's colleagues at work had a terrible accident on his scooter leaving him unable to work for 6 months. So we finally talked Jeff in to trading his motorcycle in for a new Mt. Bike! It was a straight trade. Now he even has somewhere to ride it!!

Coltons First Week of School

My Little Man is old enough to go to school.... really? I can't believe how time has flied.  He is so eager to learn and excited for school! We are going to miss him for the 3 hours he is gone each day.

 These two boys are the best of buds.

Potty Training Day 1 & 2

Yo Yo Ashton is on the road to becoming an official "big boy". DAY 1. Couldn't get up the guts to go in the potty so he pee peed in the tub. It works. Didn't have to go number two (probably a good thing). DAY 2: Four accidents out side in clothes. I told him that he needs to take off his undies and then go. He stated "Oh, OK" since, no more accidents. One poop in potty - one poop on cement (oops). 4 pees on Grandma ceramic bunny, he, he, don't tell her he is marking his spot there. So far good day!!

Colton gets Paid a quarter if he doesn't go in his pants. He is keeping a good eye on him for me.
DAY 3: No Accidents!! Good Job Buddy!!!
{When Colton was potty training, no matter what he had to get butt naked to go. Why? I am still not sure, socks, shoes, everything}

Hogle Zoo

Today we went to the Zoo with Brenda and Nichole. We checked out all the animals, rode the carrousel and the train. Coltons Favorite was the Giraffes. Ashtons the Elephants, actually the baby elephant.

4th of July

We spent the 4th of July with Mayor Madsen at the park. We started off the day by running a 5K. We had a Madsen victory! Heidi won the girls I came in a happy second - Dixie won her age group. Rees was 5th overall, Curtis and Jeff won there age groups too. Next the bike ride. Colton started off keeping up with grandma, until she went around the 12K loop. Ashton did great on the down hill and then we sat and through rock in a puddle and waited for Jeff to come pick up up.  Then a fun fun day at the park.......

Matt And Jill's Wedding

Matt and Jill were married July 1st in the Manti Temple. We are excited for their new adventure with each other. I was excited to see our cousins that we haven't spent much time with since we moved. Colton and Ashton had a blast!
