Hiking with Rattlesnakes

We went to upper city creek trails in between conference sessions this afternoon to hike and have a picnic lunch. While we were walking on the trail Clayton said that he heard a snake rattling and that it was scaring him... we looked around a little bit but thought maybe he was just pretending. So we kept walking up the trail and after a little bit we turned around to go back down. On the way back down, when we got to the place that Clayton had talked about the snake Sean happened to look down on the side of the trail and sure enough there was a rattlesnake! Sean used a stick to throw it off the trail and then I ran the heck out of there :) snakes freak me out! Clayton could not stop talking about it all day long!!

 

Corn Mazes and Box Trolls

My mom was in town for a week watching Tifani's kids, while she was here we went to a corn maze on a rainy day, we all got wet and muddy! It was still fun though.

We also went to the theater to watch the movie "Boxtrolls" Clayton loved it! He wore this box around for a few days after watching the movie :)

Grandma got the kids little pumpkins to paint Clayton couldn't even wait to get dressed after breakfast to start painting, he was excited about it.

Sunshine and Summer Time

Here is the Boggs' summer in pictures:

Quincy got a pool for his birthday. The boys had a lot of fun in it!

 

We went on bike rides and played at the parks

 

 

 Clayton and Quincy love to play in their sandbox!

The petting zoo in town is still one of our favorite summer activities

Clayton is fearless... he would climb to the very top of trees if we would let him... halfway up is far enough for this mom :)

Our stake had a Pioneer Day BBQ, there was lots of fun stuff to do there, including horse rides! Clayton had a blast riding...

 Quincy wasn't a fan!

Too HOT Outside!

When it was too hot to go outside we had fun inside while blasting the A/C  :) 

This is Clayton's version of a peg-legged pirate. This little boy has the best imagination!

Quincy's First Haircut

We waited to cut Quincy's hair until he was 13 months old as per Boggs boys' tradition (Sean and Clayton both had their first haircut at 13 months also)

He looks so different with his curls cut off! Here are some before and afters:

Makinzi's Baptism

Makinzi was lucky to be baptized on her birthday!

She asked me to give her talk... it was scary :) I think it went ok though, despite my emotional-ness. 

We are so proud of you Makinzi! 

Tifani and I did a photo shoot with Kinzi in her white dress, here are a couple that I took:

she looked so pretty!

Firetrucks

I caught the boys playing "firetrucks" together.

There are a million pictures because these boys are just so stinkin' cute!!
