MaKyra's Project

MaKyra did a project about trees. I thought it turned out so cute. She drew the tree cycle all by herself. The tree leaves were gathered down by my parents house. It was fun. All the kids gathered leaves. We had so many leaves and had plenty to choose from.

Rafting

Matt, McKay, Isaiah and Joe all went white-water rafting. So fun. Matt did fall out and rode through the Lunch Counter outside the raft but when they saw him pop up about 25 yards in front of the raft he was safe and still holding on to the paddle.

Marshmallow Roast

All the kids were hoping to have a marshmallow roast at Grandma's. Finally after much asking we sent the kids out to dig a pit and line it with rocks. They did it and we had a pit. The kids all loved roasting the marshmallows and having smores. The marshmallow roast wasn't the only camping thing we did. We even slept out in tents. It was Peyton and Parker's first time sleeping in a tent. They were very excited.

Fun in the Sun!

What is summer without the Spray Park? We love it - especially going with cousins.I don't think Gabe's ready to be wet with that high of water.

All the kids hid under the slide while waiting for the big bucket to drop.

The kids had so much fun. It is the first year none of my kids have been scared to get wet which meant a more relaxing time for me to kick back and watch.

I Can't Believe I Am 31!

For my birthday this year we went to Kung Fu Panda 2. It was so cute. Then we headed to Panda Express for dinner. Since I don't love cake, we substituted with Lofthouse cookies. Yum! It was a fun birthday!

Parker's 5th Birthday!

Parker's 5th birthday was filled with fun at the Spray Park. He got the remote controled car he wanted so bad.

Parker's Family Party

Happy Birthday to Parker. It was fun to have Devri, Brad and kids in town for a family birthday party. We love having parties with our cousins!

4th of July!

The 4th of July is my favorite holiday! The kids with their treasures. The boys found swords and the girls found light-up, singing butterflies.

Then it was race time. Peyton and Parker were feeling a bit shy about running.

Gabe and MaKyra raced hard and ran so fast. Gabe even slid into the finish line.

Fireworks Show

Matt and Brad put on a great fireworks show to get us ready for the 4th of July.

The kids were ready and excited for it to start.I don't think any of us expected the show we got.

Not only fireworks but dare devil tricks as well.
