Fun in the Sun Part 2!!!

So after having to load these pictures one at a time I can finally do another update! Like I said we have been busy very busy, BUT it has been FUN busy not the boring kind of busy! Karston and I went and picked some veggies out of our garden while Joyce Perry our cute neighbor across the street watched Jayden. All I can say is that it is a darn good thing we don't have to live off of our crop from our garden cause we would starve. We got a total of like 10 peas NO beans, a few husks of corn, our potato's weren't much bigger then the size of a plum, No carrots grew, but we have lots of cherry tomato's! So here we are sitting on our swing enjoying the few peas we did get, and they were SUPER good!!!

For a few days we had the chance to watch my cute little nephew Porter. So we played lots and we played hard! We went to the park a few times at Tautphaus Park, and one day we went over to Funland. Can I just say that when I was a little kid Funland seemed like Lagoon to me yah not so much anymore. I was watching them as they rode the little train that I thought was freaking amazing and thought to myself I must have really been hard up for some entertainment if I thought that was fun. But anyway the most important thing is that the kids had fun, and they did have fun!!! Karston of course had to be in the driver seat, but he kept checking on his 2 other passengers to make sure they were behaving themselves!


Oh the fun Carousel! How we loved you! The kids didn't want to get off! Well I guess I should say Karston and Porter didn't want to get off. Brody wasn't too sure about the whole thing so he and Nancy sat and went around and around. I didn't think they were ever going to stop. The lady running it was laughing at Karston and Porter the entire time. They were acting like cowboys saying yeehaw, and kicking the horse trying to make it go faster. They were so cute!!!








Jayden just couldn't figure out what was going on. He had this look on his face the entire time. I don't think he even blinked actually! Oh how I Love him!!!

Sweet cousins walking hand in hand! Aren't they so cute!!!

Seconds after starting the car! My job was a success snoozing babies!!!!

Poor Jayden he is ALWAYS sleeping, I hardly have any pictures of him doing anything but this! Oh well he is sweet sleeper and I could watch him sleep ALL day long if I could! Couldn't you?

Also while he was here we overcame our fear of swinging high! Well kind of!!! Let's just say we have moved past the gentle baby swing stage!!!

We also went to Youth Jam down at the river. It was so fun! Karston LOVED it! He especially had fun with all the instrument type stuff!


We made these AWESOME glasses! They crack me up!!!

Karston scrunched his up and walked around wearing them like this!!! Sooo funny!!!

More musical instrument garbage stuff! Hit em boys hit em hard!!!

Porter sporting his glasses he looks like a super hero!!! Sooo funn!

I couldn't get one picture to download and it was of Porter and Karston eating glue and sparkles! Appently the mix is pretty good according to them. I have yet to try it, but these 2 highly recommend it so if you dare go ahead and let me know what you think!!!

Anyway so there is another update. I am so far behind I don't think I will ever get caught up, but oh well. I love being a mom, and I love being an aunt! Every time I get to spend time with my nieces and nephews as well as my 2 little monkeys and watch them all interact together just makes my life that much better! I love them all with all my heart! I am sooooo lucky!!!!!!

Fun in the Sun PART 1!!!!!

Well we have been awfully busy these last few weeks. For some annoying reason my home computer would not cooperate while trying to upload my photos. So I finally got my laptop out and bota-bing-bota-bang I got pictures uploaded! So without further ado this is the life happenings of the Purcell family as of late!
About a week ago or so the boys and I headed up with Grammie and Grampie to Kilgor for a little camping trip. It was SOOOOO fun. We went with some of their good friends Jack, Renda and their daughter Becca who by the way is DARLING! Doug and I are trying to find the perfect guy for her. She is 28 I believe, VERY outdoorsy, and loves the Jazz! If you have a match please notify ME!!!! Anyway on with our trip! Here are my cute babies just chillin on the bed before we get dressed and ready for the days great adventures, and when your out in the woods EVERYTHING is a great adventure to a 2 year old! After waking up and chillin Grampie and Karston have to eat their Cornflakes together outside! So cute!



HOW!!! I don't know what happened here, but somehow Jayder Bug got tangled in his blanket and this is the end result!



Karston every night was ABSOLUTELY filthy! So since we didn't have hookups and stuff we were sparing our water so he had to get a bath in the kitchen sink which he LOVED!



He wanted to go fishing, but we couldn't find the poles so Mom made him a fishing pole out of a stick! Cool huh! I was so happy though that I remembered how to do it. I used to make them all the time growing up. The best news of all though was that it actually worked. We caught 2 fish! One riped the line off the stick, and the other jumped around a few times before it got off. It is okay though they both were little Rookies! I was just happy it worked kind of Karston and I and Grampie had a fun time mostly just throwing rocks, and splashing water on each other!



Karston wanted some corn BAD! He however, would not wait until it was cooked. So here is the little sneak eating his cold corn! YUMMY!



Look at this tiny little tuna!! Don't you just want to squish him and smooch on those kissy cheeks! I do!!! YUMMY!



Grampie was sawing some wood and of course Karston has to try and do it too! So they both worked hard and accomplished some great little logs!!!



At the creek throwing rocks with my handsome baby boy! Love him!!!



Karston and Grampie throwing BIG rocks! Who knew this could be so much fun!



Karston always helping and looking for something to do. We gave him fire pit duty! No one likes cleaning the fire pit out!



More of this handsome little guy! He loves to camp. I am soo happy he does since I love to camp, and momma gets a little antsy sitting at home during the nice summer months!



Karston found this pretty little thing in Grammie's drawer. Doesn't he look cute ;}



Karston remembered that this part of the table was used to be a pretend piano. So Grammie, Karston AND Jayder bug all had to play the piano. It was a beautiful concert!



Karston kept running away. One time he was going down the road when it was a little dark. Since he wouldn't listen I turned into mean mom. See that tree behind him. Well the entire middle area is just full of trees so I followed him while hiding behind these trees. It was hard not to laugh, because as he was walking he was saying "I no listen, I do anyway." Stinker right... Right... So I kept following him and then at the right moment I jumped out and scared the poor child. He told me over and over again that night I was scary. He didn't go down the road though after that.



Does this little face not MELT every fiber of your human being. Oh how I love this tiny tike!



No matter how hard I try this little guy is my finger sucker. His favorite are the middle 3. GRR!







Just look at those BEAUTIFUL blue eyes!



Hehehehe! That's all I got to say about this one!



Setting up camp!









So the other part of our Summer has been spent at Rexburg Rapids! I LOVE water parks. I honestly could live their if possible! I love the lazy river, the kid area, excitement of the water slides! So fun! Karston and I went there lots and lots and just played and hung out. Great mommy Karston time! I kept forgetting to take my camera however. So I finally got some pics from our last day there.



This is Karston pooping in front of the office. At least he gets out of the pool to do his business!



Me and my Buddy!!! Nice Camera string in the shot huh!



The AWESOME kiddy pool!



Karston right before the BIG bucket of water dumped on him!



There is more to come from some past summer activities so stay tuned it's awfully exciting!!!!
