The good news is that we found a house and were able to purchase it on August 13, 2012! finally we have a place of our own. The other good news is that we our having another baby boy

Ryker Hoge due on Christmas day!

 

 

This is the main level of the house and no the furniture is not ours!

 

 

 

The end of apartment living! Yes

 

The boys said good bye to the apartment one last time before we moved!

 

 

Lagoon! The train ride.

Because I was pregnant I was not able to ride on any of the rides!

 

Little Landon was sad because he could not ride on the bumper cars!

 

 

The fun airplane ride!

 

 

The best day ever at Crystal Hot Springs!

 

 

The slides were Landon's favorite part!

 

 

 

 

Sweet Brock!

 

The water is the best part!

Bear lake again!

Of course we attended our usual family fun stop Bear Lake. Uncle Steve is taking Brock on a motorcycle ride.

The boys and I enjoying the lake!

The fourth of July parade. Landon does not want a picture and Brock is showing us something not sure.

The boys trying to get candy but this year they mostly only threw to the other side and ran out of candy by they got to our side.

 

Paris springs each boy was able to gather water for himself, I am just glad no one fell into the rushing stream.

One of these buildings is where Jens' grandpa ran a title business.  The crazy part is that we actually are running a title business.

 

 

 

 

 

After returning home from our Bear Lake trip we took the boys to the peace gardens for f.h.e.

 

The Boys!

They had a whole row of Hunney suckles the kids were going crazy over eating them.

The beginning of Summer 2012

Brock's soccer team the Dragons! During this season Brock was the first one to make a goal for his team. He usually had the most goals per game.

Go Brock!

What a cute kid.

His trophy.

I gave Brock swimming lesson's for a week and by the end of the week he was ready to not have them anymore. I can't figure out why he did not like them this year. I love to see him wear his swim goggles.

 

We also attended the Tracy aviary. This is Brock and Andrew.

My silly little boys looking at the birds.

We also attended the Dinosaur park in Ogden this is Brock's favorite place to go.

 

This is the coolest part of the park the actual bones of a dinosaur in the rock.

 

Fishing day!

 

 

oh gross!

 

                        We also took the kids fishing. It was so much fun every time we sent out the line it got hooked with a fish. The kids were so cute trying to bate the line with a worm and then watching them squirm when we pulled the fish out.

Brock graduates preschool!

Brock graduates from preschool. What a sweet smile.

Brock had one teacher and two assistants. He loved his class because his his two best friends Tyler and Sam were in the same class. His teacher was wonderful.

I love the hat it was made out of a plastic bowl and a piece of paper with an elastic.

The whole family!

Brock's family party

We had a fun family scooby doo party for Brock.

This is the decor.

Brock had to find his gifts with a scooby doo mystery!

Yes! we found one.

He received lots of fun toys.

Cute Landon!

The final gift what could it be? A bike yeah. He also rode it around the neighborhood. Happy birthday little man.

Happy Birthday Brock!

Brock is such a sweet boy. He loves to wrestle with his dad and play games.  He loves his grandmothers puppy and calls it his own puppy. He loves to play with his friends and will start kindergarten this year.  He is a really good big brother to his little brother Landon. He always takes care of him and makes sure he is safe.

Brock had two parties, this party was his friends party. It was a scoobydoo mystery held at the local neighborhood park.

We played a balloon popping game. The children had to sit on the balloon and pop it. It was actually really funny watching the children try and jump up and land on the balloon.

The next game we played was a scooby ring toss. Most the children stood really close.

Finally we had a fun scooby doo mystery while looking wearing a scooby mask, looking for our pinata.

Yeah, we finally found the pinata. It was some strange wrestling man, which Brock picked out.

Brock hitting the pinata. The children were not able to open it by themselves so Jens had to step in and get the candy.

Happy birthday Brock!

He got lots of fun toys from all his friends.
