FIRSTS

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL...DYN WOKE UPWITH THE BIG KIDS BEFORE 7 SO EXCITED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND GO TO A NEW SCHOOL! (ALL DAY) Ansen some how got out of the first day of school pictures..?? I will have to grab one soon... and also Soccer has started for ansen they won their first game and lost the second..

JayCee starts preschool in a week! he is pretty excited!
LOST A TOOTH (FINALLY) CLINT HAD TO HOLD HIM DOWN AND PULL IT OUT
after he pulled it out... he was ticked.. I just wanted it to fall out dad!!..it took a little bit of time for him to talk to Clint again. but happies now!!

not a great pic.. came off the phone but.. so cute if I could have captured how excited he was to pet and pull and love this bull.. he was loving life!! it just amazes me at how my kids get along with animals and how they respond ... this is our small bull (over 1000lbs.) against my 20lb. Jordan LOVE IT!!! and so does he.. NO fear..

NO more FBing

okay so I think I have been banned from FB nowdays... I have contracted a virus.. one to many times and Clint is tired of redoing my computer so he is positive.. (unfortunatly as am I) it comes from there!! so goodbye to my FB friends... but that is okay... I will survive and my kids will have me 10 more minutes a day!!

Family Reunion. 2010

Okay ... I did it backwards.. but it'll all come out in the wash...
This vacation was full of a lot of hurry up and waits... but it was all good.. good to see family we have not seen for a long time.. and will miss alot now that they are gone.

This is John Sacks cabin.. how amazing this man was.. (in Island Park) what a beautiful setting..
Car show in West Yellowstone the weekend we were there...Tyler needless to say..in HEAVEN he filled the memory in his phone and ran the battery dead taking pics... there were some very NICE cars there.

Gift shop bear.. kinda cute.. in a cheesy sorta way.. but that is what vaca with kids is all about!!

John Sacks cabin again.. Grandma and Keradyn..

on the trail..to the cabin

waiting for old faithful.

very pretty to look at but not too pretty to smell as Keradyn said..

This actually was my favorite part of the trip...we went to Hoytsville...Yes it does exsist! and we saw the Hoyt Mansion.. amazing it was built in 1860's???around there.. Just beautiful. Now of course there have been upgrades but much is origional..

Barn in the back..

a shed off to the side.. don't know what it was used for but very cool to see all the detail and time put in to these walls and fences and homes..

origional fireplace, just is mindblowing to me that they took this much time to make these show pieces and I complain about having to vaccuum.

the house is on... Hoyt LN. how cool is that?

Bear Lake was the beginning of the trip..
Tea Party time for the boys who did not go fishing.. they had to be gentlemen and sit the ladies and push in thier chairs etc... what a handsome set..

Flower craft.. and pedicures and fairy houses were the other activites of the day and of couse swimming..

we enjoyed spending time with family this week now it is back to the grind of daily life..one child short.. Tyler left for the Windrivers Monday morning.. I miss him already.. and it is only 6 hours in.. what am I going to do until Saturday??

summer happening so far

First Beware... a bit of a picture overload!!

this is a bit of our summer so far.. many more to come.. Vacation next week so beware...

24th of July we went to grandmas for dinner and I only took pics of Jordan... then we went to watch the fireworks in North Logan.

CACHE CUP 2010!!

dad coached so I had the boys alone... Kyley went to salt lake to see the pioneer concert with my dad so.. really I was alone with my little boys... try to keep 4 boys entertained while trying to watch soccer and keep them hydrated and in the shade...NIGHTMARE... but we did fine all in all.
we sat in the shade and I tried to think of anything that they would play with while sitting...

amazing that these boys did not pass out...103 degrees...

Morning game was a little cooler I did not MAKE them stay in the shade. they had a bit more freedom

Sprinkler for the first time...he now loves to go into any sprinkler.. still does not like a pool.

Tyler gets up at 5:30 to go work out and then comes home and dies on the couch (usually with a book in hand this time he put in on the couch) after eating 3 breakfasts...

This is Dyns sunflower...needless to say it is not in the ground anymore Ansen broke it off but I was quite impressed with how well it did concidering it came from a seed from school.
he took the breaking very well... I was impressed not even one beating...or screaming.

REDNECK waterslide (this was our ward party!)

This is Tyler at the bottom of the big slide..

devery with jordan on the little slide notice the mud.. then the next pic..

Jay after 2 times down the little slide he was black and his shirt gross brown when we went home.

Kyley and Devery coming down the big slide...

Really this was alot of fun... the kids did not want to come home.. JayCee was terrified to go down this one the first time but after going once...that is all it took...

what a fun day...

another random posting

Pack Meeting tonight was the Raingutter Regatta ..

I was trying to keep our distance from others... I have stomach flu or Food poisoning...

Pics like this are the only ones I took on the 4th of July weekend...we did nothing but we had a lot of fun..

Pops

His new play pen... he goes and crawls into the Laundry basket and just lounges.. he probly enjoys the quiet...HaHaHa

He also LOVES watermellon.. and has realized that if you squish it...

well it makes a big mess!

this pic is just fun... I love the things he gets into.

wants to be like the big kids...

His new found hobby is pulling all the flowers off the stem...so my flower beds look Horrible but he enjoys being outside...

this is Ansen doing his raingutter regatta..it took some adjustment but we finally figured it out and got it to work right!

Soccer pics to come soon...Cache Valley Cup is in the works right now... so posted soon!

random

We did go to Salt Lake a played for a day or two... Jordan was sick so we cut our trip short and I feel bad but we will go back and do the other days of things that we were going to do..

We only went to the zoo and then the kids went to the Oakridge Boys concert.. yes they are old and the kids were not impressed but they are always running around singing Elvira, it makes me laugh.. Associated Food Stores always does a concert during their food show and this was it.. usually it is someone a little younger...but.. it was free...

My monkeys!!
Ansen hates to have to stand still and to have to do anything that is NOT his idea...

they actually did have fun.. we spent more time at the playground part of the zoo than looking at animals but the enjoyed it!

the things that my kids do with vinyl scraps... (and balloons) Hut ball!!

my first popcicle... and he has had 4 a day since..

Ansen soccer

GO CATS!!! they have improved sooo much this season.. Love watching and I am excited for next season already! Probably because it is the only one! I have not had a single season for a while so Looking forward to concentrating on one child expecailly ansen..Gotta love that kid!
