My Big Boy...

Well he is finally 3 or 5 depends on who you talk to if you ask Jay he is 5 but really only 3 but eithor way JayCee you are my cute boy (not to say that my others aren't) We Love You!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAYCEE!!

It took forever to get him to open his presents he just wanted to play with his 2 cars that he got or then the soccer ball and then he could hardly wait to get the hoop open... and put together. Now we can play (sortof) full court ball downstairs.. a few obsticals get in the way.. ie.. pool table

August Already??

well I cannot believe that school time is rolling around again.. yet, what a refreshing thought! only 2 boys at home... what am I to do? Hopefully enjoy some peace in life again. The little boys are constantly beating the crap out of each other... yesterday poor Dyn got the worst of it... Ansen was not going to lose.. so he has made dyn look like he has gone through a battle field.. hopefully he will forget and let me take a picture eventually. he says he looks too horrible for pics! this is my project that I have been working on and finally finished.. clint is happy to have his garage back..

Now What

Okay to start out... Jordan is sleeping and I have so much to do I do not know where to start so yes, here I sit... Tyler, Clint, and now Ansen are all at Camp Bartlett for Scout camp I hope they are all safe and having fun. So a run down on the photos and what we've been up to-

Kyley has been in a 4-H group these past few weeks... she has done sewing and cooking... all the things that she cooks have been eaten too fast for me to take pics.. but the sewing has been very fun for her she has learned a lot.. Thanks Shanae!!

2 pillow cases and a pillow and a couple of bags.. very fun.
Cache Cup is over!! and we did not do so well (we lost every game) but they did I hope learn a few things.. (Tyler is on the far side.) They had a lot of fun playing. They had one hot game and two not too hot games they were in the morning..
they did play MUCH better than last year.
It was fun watching I do love watching tyler play and I am very much looking forward to Ansen starting his season!

Dad brought us home some christmas fixens' to play
with this is a sleigh kit...
and sticking with the whole
CHRISTMAS IN JULY THEME:

Socks, socks and more socks...

My mom the sock-o-hollic... she called me and asked if the kids needed socks.. yes we can always use socks... with 5 boys holes (of any shape and size) are always in fashion in our house!
so she came bringing 63 pairs of socks and the total bill for all this (that of course Grandma footed yes, pun intended!!!) 10 bucks! we love the sock factory!

TROUBLE

Can you just tell that these two are....TROUBLE?

I have decided that Dyn is a pretty good photographer... Jordan looks pretty cute in red

Dyn loves to take pics of Jordan

This is the cutest...

(anything you can do I can do better... I can do anything better than you!)
Shayley, Ryley, Jordan and JayCee... to really complete the pic. we should have Brynly and Dyn too.. all within a couple of months of each other (mine all boys, Traci's all girls... watch out for later years..)

July 4th weekend

Kyley and Ansen got to go on bike ride with Hoyts and they went to Lee's and got lunch and then went to a park and ate it... they said "long ride!" then they went swimming. then we all went to the fireworks... (Ty has been sick so he missed out on the bike ride and the swimming.)
This was the project of the century for me. We redid out pool table and finally brought it in the house... so it meant hours in the garage and hours spent rearranging the basement... which gave me a bug to rearrange and redo a few other projects... but as you can see from the slate behind kyley it needed to be redone...(ugly and HORRIBLY dirty)
but now if you look at it, it is very pretty and I love it in my house and the kids love it and love to play it! as do clint and I.

this is in the kids play room they lost a big chunk of the room but right now they are okay with that. We will see how long that lasts... so in the moving things around to make this giant fit in the house we pushed the couch closer to the TV and the Air Hockey table went behind the couch in the family room and the pool table in the Playroom what a mess (all of my scrapbook stuff was under the hockey table) it just tells me that we need a bigger house... (jk) that would mean I would have to clean a bigger house.. and if you have been over lately... not happening!!



Jordan is growing so fast... it almost makes me sad, but I love to watch him learn to use his hands and grab things.

after spending the weekend on the table... the house had been seriously neglected.. so before we could play we all had to help... Tyler and Kyley folded 7 loads of laundry and Ansen did stacks of dishes... (happily as you can see) then we all went downstairs and had game night

2 month check up he weighed 12lb. and 13oz. and is 23 in. long he is such a happy boy!

fun photos

Happy Fathers Day... LATE okay I (like usual) did not take my camera when we did fathers day dinner at Hoyt's house. and my dad was out of town so sorry to the Dad's in our lives... We Do LOVE and appreciate all you do for us!!!

Isn't this the best photo ever... okay some of you might not think so but right now, I do!!

I love my dad he is the best grandpa.. we were at the cemetary for my grandma bowns funeral and if you know my dad... he always migrates towards babies... anyway.. cute picture thanks dad for always being the best dad and greatest grandpa!!

My Parents and Dev have been on tour with Mo-Tab Choir for 2 weeks and I told Clint... I promise that when they get back... we will be able to go on a date.. my dad gets grandchild deprived... so he will willingly take the kids for a while.. (as they do always. but I won't have to ask this time)

Cute Kid Photos

Funny Face... Sortof..

Okay my doctor has a picture of his kids (5) all in a circle so I thought I would try it...seeing as how that is a good way to get them all in the photo! although next time they all need to match.. this was a spur of the moment picture...(lay on the floor kids with your heads touching... they thought I was a few sandwiches short of a picnic!) they turned out kinda cute! Cute enough that I took this bottom one and put is as our 8X10 in the living room... I redid the photos on the wall and they are all snapshots so I can update more often (yah right, but the idea is good and has to count for something!)

Summer is Here

My Favorite Girls

Okay while Clint and I were in SLC Devery and Kyley went off and had pictures taken of them they turned out cute!!

When we were waiting for Jordans Blessing info... Bro. Ricks (former bishopric member) asked keradyn if he helped with the baby and if he did everything I asked.. he said yes I do.. then he asked even change diapers? dyn said no because my mom hasn't asked me too. so he decided to try.. and he did pretty good for his first try!

Jordan is growing up!! He is getting pretty strong. and he is such a good baby!

dyn loves him and always wants his picture taken with him

as far as Ty getting his trophy they have not given them yet! Hopefully soon

and photos from our SLC trip... NONE it rained the entire time so Jordan and I stayed indoors and were really lazy and just hung out on the couch and totally vegged.. but it was good to get away!
