Happy Birthday Aunt Dani!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you have a great Birthday Dani. We love you and miss you.

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!

The 4th of July was the same good time we always have. The boys enjoy the cool inside playing guitar.

The Kids enjoyed the cool pool outside. It was 90 degrees that day so I think everyone enjoyed the pool. Corrin stole all of Beckis kids floatys. She put them on her arms and around her body she looked like a worm for awhile.

Mom and Lavene had a good time watching all the kids play. It was nice in the shade out back.

All the men folk out front getting ready to let off fireworks. Making there homemade fireworks. Just like every year.

Look how many kids are out there letting off sparklers. It was scary there for a few minutes.

I had to show you what Heather was up to when you weren't here. I guess you will have to come next year.

I thought this was a really cute picture of Renae, Skylar, and LaReina.

I had to show you some of the cool fireworks we let off.

Poor Butterfly

We found this poor wounded butterfly. Its poor wing was all mangled.

It let everyone hold it though. It was neat to be able to hold it up close.

Corrin made a funny face right when I took the picture. I think she was afraid it was going to fly away. Even though it couldn't fly.

Kyle got the best picture. He put it over in the flowers after we were done holding it. Poor Butterfly.

Mount Tabor Park

Last weekend we decided to go to Mt. Tabor Park. We had a lot of fun. You can see how well they follow directions. I asked them to stand by this statue and point like the guy. What funny funny kids.

The still couldn't get it right even when I zoomed in.

I love that even at there ages they can still play on the playground. They had a bunch of the old school playground equipment. We had so much fun playing and just being silly.

Look, I love the old teeter totter. Do you remeber how much fun we use to have? They use to be in every park we went to when we were kids.

This is the kids over by the volcano part of the park. I think this is a good representation of my kids personalities.

I thought this was a nice place for a picture. These trees were really neat. I liked how they were raised up like that. They were extremely tall.

Sometimes I wish we could get a family picture with all of us. This was a great day. Lots of good memories.

Pioneer Days

Sorry I put these pictures in wrong this is Renae at Kyles Pioneer Days at school. Corrin also got to come. We got to try some real pioneer food. This was something they would have had on the Oregon Trail. There was beans and corn bread, dried fruit, and jerky.

Kyle was excited to go and show us all the fun things they had been learning about the Oregon Trail.

Kyle got to go on the Oregon Trail with his class. He had to keep a journal of there journey. His group didn't make it they ended up dieing. There wagon train crashed.

Lucia Falls

We decided to go somewhere new last weekend. Kyle and I had seen a sign for Lucia Falls when we were at Pomeroy Farm.

It was beautiful. It was just a small falls but very beautiful. It had a nice walking path that went down the river a ways. It was a nice afternoon walk.

This was a great family day. There is nothing better than some great outdoor adventure as a family.

Final Band Concert

Renae had her final band concert of the year. The 6th grade band sounded the best to me.

Renae was all smiles until the end when she didn't recieve an award. I told her not to worry she was outstanding to me.
