Summertime is here!

We LOVE summertime in the Hyer home! We try to get out as much as possible & when we can't, we've got some awesome friends & family, oh & cute nieces to keep us entertained :)

(STOLE THIS FROM CHELSIE...SORRY but it was SOO cute!)

haha this is awesome cause they have the same faces, outifts & feet crossed!

LOVES his grandpa!

& his uncle Jordan

4-Wheeling

Growing up we spent every weekend dirtbiking up Logan Canyon. Since Nic & I got married I think we've only been 3 times; never with Mason. I had mentioned to my dad we would LOVE to go up sometime & we finally got the chance. We took up a Rhino & 2 fourwheelers. It worked out great cause we just strapped Mase's carseat in the back seat of the Rhino & off we went!

(Before & after)

Mason had a BLAST! He smiled and jabbered the whole time. It ended up being a 5 hour ride which none of us planned on so we were happy he did so good. 

Mase & Grandpa

(Mason loves him! He follows him everywhere and always makes sure he's right by his side)

It was a long ride but we had so much fun. We had invited The Low's over for dinner at 7 and got home 6, had to shower & cook, but we did it! Sorry if it wasn't very good tho guys!!

4th of July

The 4th of July is always a crazy day for us! It's my moms birthday & there is so much going on out in Lewiston with The Hyers that we split the day with both families. We went up to the stadium on the 3rd to watch the fireworks & listen to Kansas. Mase did really good! He danced to the music, flirted with the girls behind us & kept feeding everyone popcorn whether we wanted it or not.

Here's my cool parents...rocking out to Kansas...they sound as old as they are!

Jordan & Shelby, Jesse & Randi

It was fun having the whole family there & having everyone get along. Things have changed so much from where they were last 4th of July. So glad that things are where they are now.

Mason was so excited for each firework to go off. His whole face lit up! But half way thru he started rubbing his eyes & made himself "comfy" on the cement floor with his blanket. Never fell asleep but just wanted to lay there.

On the fourth we went to Lewiston for the parade & rodeo. It was hot, and Mason got onrey...if you can't tell from Nic's face. We took a quick nap in between Lewiston & going down to my moms. Good thing cause Mason was a lot happier. We cooked dutch oven, did fireworks & played in the water. We are so glad both of our families live close so we can spend the holidays with everyone!

Summer Projects

After a LONG day of work & grocery shopping, I came home to this. We were expecting a large pile of gravel, but not for 2 more days. This is our new summer project, extending our driveway & laying down a sprinkler system.

Mason thought the pile of gravel was the greatest thing ever!

He also like to help us. When he saw us shoveling into the wheel barrow, he had to get handfuls of rocks to add throw into it. He also has a new fetish with our broom & mop...as you can see from the picture, it's time to buy a new mop. 

Jordan & Jesse came by to help do the driveway, so glad because it was a big job!

Here's the finished product..for now. Eventually it'll be concrete, not gravel but it works for now & gives us lots more room to park cause we had a dinky little driveway!

                                                

Hoggle Zoo

We took Mason to Hoggle Zoo on Saturday & met up with our friends Brian, Jacquelyn & their cute little girl Braelyn...(there is an arranged marriage for her & Mace..haha.) It was fun to see them, they live in Bountiful so we see each other probably every 6 months, wish they lived closer! Mason liked the monkeys but that was about it. He just rode in the stroller & did his own thing. About 2 hours after being there it was definently time to go, Mason was getting tired but that stubborn boy won't sleep in the stroller.

Nasty snakes everywhere! We took this just for Nana :)

We tried to get Mason to look at the elaphants but they didn't move very fast so he wasn't intrested. He thought the people around him were more interesting then the animals.

This picture wasn't very easy to take...haMason didn't know what to think!

And this is the cute Braelyn!! a.k.a. Mace's girlfriend...she's the cutest little girl I've EVER seen!

After the zoo we headed over to the Watson's house that they've been remodeling & it looks so good! It takes them alot of time & effort & they have done a lot to it, haha it makes us feel lame for complaining about getting our yard done! We went to dinner at the Pizza Factory...so good! I could just eat their breadsticks the whole time!! Braelyn was so funny, she figured out how to shake the table & Mason was just mad cause he wasn't getting enough food, go figure! Like I said at the first, we wish they lived closer, they have gone through alot of the same stuff we have & we can relate to them alot!

JuST KeeP SWiMMiNG, swimming, swimming...

 I had Friday off work and so I decided to Mason to the pool for the first time & he absolutely loved it! My mom went with us. At first he thought he needed to drink that nasty water...after about 10 mins of trying to get him to stop he realized he could play in it. There was a little girl who kept playing with him & he just laughed the whole time. I wish I didn’t have to work as much so I could take him more! I’m hoping to start getting off early on Wednesdays so we can go more! :) Towards the end he was getting so tired & looked like he was going to fall asleep so I took him out & he just cried.  He did not want to leave! But after 2 hours it was time to go! We were in the car for probably 2 mins & he was out!

4th of July

4^th of July weekend was a blast!! It was my mom’s birthday so we spent the day at her house.  We had family over, cooked out & played games. She got spoiled!! She took Mason on his first four-wheeler ride & he absolutely loved it!! That night we went out to the big town of Lewiston to watch fireworks. Justin & Jess were at their grandparents watching from the back yard & so we met up with them! Poor Mason was just so tired & wanted to sleep during them so after crying awhile from trying to keep him up we finally let him sleep. I’m sure next year he’ll like them a lot more! We had fun being with Just & Jess! They are such a fun couple & Mason LOVES them!!

"Good Stuff"

Kenny Chesney…can I just say AMAZING!! Alex & Mandee invited us to go with them & we had a blast! We have never been away from Mason for the night & so it was a first because we stayed with Mandee & Alex at a hotel. Where to begin…how about Alex’s driving…haha if I were in the front seat instead of the back I would have been totally fine, but I get SOO motion sick!! My stomach was not feeling to good!!  We went to eat, I told them I didn’t care just to pick a place, well that wasn’t the best idea, we went to Red Lobster. I hate fish. Crab. Shrimp. Anything that lives in the water…YUCK! Luckly, the night did progress! We checked into the hotel & hung out with some friends until the concert.  We missed Uncle Kracker but got to see Billy Currington & Kenny! They were awesome! It was so much fun! Alex is quite the dancer!

We ran into Chrishel & Randy and had them come sit with us, it was fun having them there!!  After the concert we made it to The Puck for dinner like 3 min before the grill closed, they’ve got some dang good food, better then NASTY Red Lobster, then off to the hotel! We got up the next morning & headed home, we missed Mace so it was good to go get him from my mom’s!!

Twin Lakes

Over the weekend we went out to Twin Lakes, Nic's parents were camping out there & we thought it'd be fun to get some sun & let Mason play in the water. We bought him a swimsuit with a cute matching hat & flip flops....once we were there we put on hoodies & Mason's p.j.s....it WAS NOT good weather! We still had a blast! It was fun to get out!

The water was way too cold to even let Mase put his feet in, but he still loved to watch it.

Mason LOVES dogs...we stuck him on the cage & the poor kid didn't know what to do.

We're sooo glad Kortney & Stacie were there to entertain Mason. He wanted nothing to do with his own toys, he'd just play with Kortney's glasses & hat.
