Our Week!

So we have had quite the busy week! But we had a lot of fun. Saturday after Covin's football game we met a few of our friends up on Mt. Graham and went camping over night! We pulled our trailer up and that was the fastest unload we have EVER done. They had some of their family members up there, I don't think Shaffen and I did anything but watch! :) These boys had so much fun they love being outside. The bigger boy in the picture is who Covin plays with everyday at school. His dad is a police officer and works with Shaffen and our kids are friends. They also play with Reagan at school (her dad is also a cop and our friend for a long time). It is crazy how they stick together.

Anyways, I found these boys in a culvert. They were daring each other to go through it. That never happened, little chickens.
My Conner freezing up there. It had rained the night before and was way cloudy this day. We are not used to this weather. Luckily I had actually prepared for it!
Yelling at each other through the culvert.
Conner hanging out by a tree!
They were using this as a balance beam. I was quite impressed they did so well.

They wanted a picture by the GREEN grass. Such posers! Who would have thought!
Covin and Rylan decided to haul some wood to the camp fire. LAZY boys couldn't just carry it!
It was quite entertaining! They were hilarious. They wouldn't go to far after they realized we were camping there because they were bear hunting. Kind of freaked Covin out!
He is the happiest and best little boys with a Chocolate Donut, he calls it a D-NUT.
The boys were trying to make their lunches. Roasting hot dogs. Covin decided the one that was black and had touched the ground was going to be Conner's. What a nice brother!

We had brought our Bebe gun for the boys, well we thought. I think the dads had more fun. Conner loves to shoot and so does Covin.
Every time they would shoot they had to go see where it hit. They thought it was great.
Covin will love this picture when he is bigger. He wanted to shoot Lucy's (another cop Shaffen works with that was also camping) PINK 22. It was funny.

Later that week we had the normal busy week with school and work. I got a phone call from my mom telling me my grandpa was really sick and they had transferred him to Desert Good Sam in Phoenix. My grandma was there my dad had taken her down and hauled her truck, but she is to scared to drive there. So she would wait all day until someone could come and get her. I decided to go down on Tuesday. We pulled Covin out of school and Shaffen was able to take off of work and take me. It was so awful I hadn't seen him like that in a lot of years. He is on dialysis and had an infected shunt. He had fallen in the shower and hurt his shoulder too. It ended up being a blood clots in his arm, they started him on blood thinners. Well while he has been there he is just getting sicker and sicker. My poor grandma would just break down and cry the whole day. We took her to lunch and then Shaffen took the boys to Cabelas while I stayed with her in the hospital. I had to leave that night because we had school and work the next day, it was really hard to leave her there. My mom called today and told me his white count is going up and they don't know where the secondary infection is. The blood thinners are making him bleed out through the infected shunt and he had to get a blood transfusion last night. I am not sure what the outcome will be. I am so sad for my grandma!

This week here was fair week. Covin's football team was in the parade. They piled these little boys in this truck and my friend Lisa and I rode on the tailgate to make sure they didn't jump or fall out! They were hilarious they threw out almost 4 bags of candy about a quarter of the way through. :) They kept chanting 1-2-3 GIANTS!!! Over and Over it was so funny.

Shaffen and Conner waiting for us at the end. It took forever and we were so sunburned. After the parade off to the fair and carnival we went. I have never seen that many people at the carnival ever at one time. It was hot and we had to wait a long time in lines. The kids had a blast. I left early because I had to work that night. Came home and showered because I smelled like a sweaty Carney! I left for work at 6pm. It was so slow that night they were trying to send people home early. I did come home around 3 am. Woke up at 7:15 and got ready to go to Morenci for Covin's Last football game.

This was the final score 6 to 13 the Giants won! The picture is a little out of order but I can't fix it. Anyways, this was the best game we have watched EVER! They used the score board (which never happened) and had an announcer. It was funny how much more these kids got into the game. They were so excited. The guy was very animated.
This is Landen, Covin and Carsen. Numbers 4-5-6. They kept sitting like that. :)
This is when they realized, Yes they had won! They were so happy. They ended up with 2 Wins, 2 Loses and 2 tie wins. After the game their coach gave them metals with certificates. That was funny the boys were so excited.

This is Covin realizing that this is indeed just like getting a trophy (his favorite thing to receive)!
Carsen, Covin and Landen!

After the game we went and ate lunch and decided to go visit Shaffen's sister in Duncan, where she just moved too. That was fun it is so relaxing there! I had never been there before. They live on a small farm and Brett's family has a pumpkin patch. They ship the pumpkins to Gilbert to some stores there. We walked out and Covin was helping them put them in the bins. Later we took a Ranger ride around the rest of the farm and got to pet a Chicken, see geese (see them because the run away), and feed a pig. Covin then got to take Brett on a 4-wheeler ride. He was so excited, imagine that!

Conner was so content with just sitting on this horse (which he kept calling a puppy, I guess I need to teach him his animals! hehe).Little Chloe, the reason we went to Duncan! Like I have said before my boys LOVE this little girl. Everyday they ask where is Chloe??? After we played for a while they took us to a fresh produce stand where we bought a seedless watermelon, 4 fresh tomatoes and 8 green chile's for $5!!!! We came home and roasted the chile's on the grill, piled them and cook them for dinner! Very good!
And here is Covin! Lost tooth #6! His other front one, which I hope comes in soon! There are not anymore loose ones, he is very excited about that. He likes things from the tooth fairy but doesn't like getting his teeth pulled! I don't blame him!

It has been a FUN and busy week as usual! But I wouldn't know how to do it any other way! :)
