24th in Utah!

We had such a GREAT time going to Enterprise for the 24th. What a fun town! My parents knew we would all be home, so they planned a whole week of fun for us. My moms only sister was up with her whole family, and so it was even better. It started friday. We all went on a family date (no kids!) we had a great diner and then hit a movie. Saturday I got up early an ran in the fun run, which went good. I took first in my division. The best part was that my whole family was waiting at the finish line for me. I felt really special! We then went to the parade. The boys loved it!! I love that we get to always sit at my grandma Rhodes house every year. I will miss that some day.
The races went great, the boys loved it! Holden did the money swimming deal to. He thought it was so awesome! I love having Rye at these kinds of events. It is not the same with out him......I love how much he loves those little boys.
After that some of my family went cliff jumping, and then we had a huge barbecue! My mom had a whole swim land set up for the kids, and they loved it!!
The night was still not over. My dad bought a huge amount of HUGE fireworks. So we (and half the town) headed out to our farm to set them off. FUN!
After that Monday we headed out on our annual moyle mammoth (cedar mountain) camping` trip. It rained and rained!! But everyone went but my brother and his wife. They just had a new baby. It was still fun though. Rye and I had to leave early because of work. They are still all up there! What a fun week with the fam though!
This is the most pictures I have ever posted!

The boy's udates

Mr. Rowe
(Holden) Update
-He is my little helper. He washes dishes, sweeps floors, cleans his room, and dries the dishes.
-He is officially a big boy....He now wheres briefs! It is the cutest thing in the WORLD!
-I am afraid he is OCD....and I'm not saying that to be funny. He complains all day about his shoulder rubbing on his shirt, or his pants not sitting on his thigh right, his socks hurting his toes oh and his seat belt!!! Lets not go into how annoying he is with his seat belt!!....he is is daddies boy I guess!
-He hops into bed with me everyday when Rye leaves to work at 3 am.
-He loves to go fishing.

-He loves uncle slade, and always talks about being the lead man in Slade's band! He picked out a shirt with a drum on it and carried it around for 2 weeks until he finally got to show it to Slade.
-He started pooping his pants out of NOWHERE!
-He gets to spend almost every weekend with grandma Debbie and grandpa Russ, he loves it!
-We talked in church a few weeks ago and grandma Debbie was trying to help him prepare his talk. He started teasing her, and at the start of his talk he would say "Hello, my name is....Gramma! He still refuses to say his real name.
-Everywhere around town I get introduced as "This is Holden's mom" or "Oh, you must be Holden's mom."
-He spells words.
Now I have to update with the latest Holden Quotes.
Him and Grandpa Russ were driving into town (Eureka) from the ranch.
Holden : where we going grandpa?
Grandpa: EUREKA!
Holden : Hey don't say that....It's not YOUR REKA, it's MY Reka!!
he argued with Russ the whole rest of the way home about it being his reka, not your reka!
Mom: ewww'lala Holden you look like a stud muffin!
Holden: eww'lala mom you look like a.......Gurwl muffin, or maybe a princess muffin, hu mom!
His primary teachers said he had been really reverent, which is not like him.....at all. So we got in the truck and I said "whats wrong bud" He says, " I was so sad cuz I missed you and Knox, and I tried finding you, but I couldn't find you to good, cuz I forgot to use my game face to go real fast" (his fast face) ......and then he started crying! I laughed so hard! He always lies and says he needs to go to the bathroom to sneak a peak at me while I am in Sunday school, and yell "HI mom, that's my mommy!" But I was in young women's and it through off his whole groove.
Holden makes us so happy.

Knoxy'roo
-Nobody can quite figure him out.....But Rye and I.
-He is a mini Jack Moyle! If you were ever wondering what my dad looked/acted like...look at Knox

-He does not like to be bothered.
-He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES Rye. it almost drives me crazy because he wont even take a bite off my spoon if Rye is near, he has to eat from Rye's.
-Besides that he is a mommas boy.
-He is so handsome! He gets nice and tan, and his eyes are so Blue, and his smile! Oh his smile! I just love him.
-He cuddles, which Holden never did/does.
-He eats. and eats.... and eats.
-He is so tall.
-He is so COORDINATED! He can already do tricks on his bike, wheelies, ride standing, and he can do this fast reverse turn deal! He is a future motocross rider....we think at least, haha.
-He finally started saying a few words. Like, hot, dadda, momma, please, some. He has developed his own form of sign language though.
- He thinks the craziest things are funny, and his laugh makes my whole life!
-He loves everything Holden loves, because Holden loves it.

-He gets really exited, and it is so funny! He screams and flexes his whole body, until he almost passes out.
We love you Knox..

*Pictures of my boys during the fourth*

Holden, Knox, and I went to Utah for the fourth. It was a fun visit, and we got to stay for longer than usual. They love all their cousins, and I love spending time with my family, especially my sisters.
We have been really good!! We have just been enjoying our life and our kids. We are so blessed I think. Hope everyone is doing good!
Here are a ton of pictures I took!


The races-Knox did so good! He would not run with out puppy though....I guess it is more like "poopy." You gotta say it right. Puppy, is Knox's baby.....He would make a great mother, you should see him with that thing. He is SOOOO not affectionate, but he gives poopy all the love he can muster!! He is kinda an honorary Fitzwater. And you are probably all wondering how he stays so clean???
He gets a weekly toilet bath by Knoxy.....ya, dont ever touch it.

Holden getting his game face on....He really has a game face that he uses when he needs to run really fast!

The boys waiting for it to get dark to watch the fireworks..

I snapped these of the baby boy... Whenever I go home I love to get a few shots of them with my moms good camera......He is kinda cute! ...I would like him even more though if he wasn't such a daddies boy, it really makes me a bit jealous!



This is the best shot of Holden I could get, hahaha!! He is at "that stage!!"


The key to this boys heart is his food!! He is happiest when he is eating!





These are my best friends! This picture is from graduation, I just had to add it
