Cameron's 6th Birthday

My favorite boy is 6. Cam's birthday was July 11th. He wanted a build a bear like his sisters. So he & I had a day & went down. It was his idea for a silly face picture. What a boy. Love you Cam!

Just because...

Kate wanted me to take her picture. What a cutie!

Annual 4th July bike parade

The kids rode their bikes again before the parade. They love decorating them. Thanks to my awesome husband who walks with them every year.

Our new yard...today

Well 4 months later here is how it looks. We are happy with it. We have a few more things to do in the spring. But what a relief, all our hard work paid off.

Yard redo

Memorial weekend we started our yard remodel. We ripped up all the grass, brought dirt in to level everything, and brought in some rocks to make the back yard and front yard seperate levels.

After a month of hard work, sweat, picking up rocks, and manual labor weight loss...we hydro seeded at the end of June.

Our second zoo trip was with the Jenkins'. The kids had a lot of fun playing with their cousins.

Zoo trip #2

My favorite picture...Cameron holding up Avery so she could see the giraffes.

Zoo X 2

We went to the zoo twice in 2 weeks. The first trip was with grandma Jones. Our first look at the new Rocky shores exhibit.

Cam playing Ball

Cam played t-ball for the first time this year. He loved it. He would ask my everyday if he got to play "ball" that night. They got 5 coach pitches then hit off the tee if they needed to. He connected for some really good hits, sometimes even into the outfield. Looks like we'll be at the ball field next year.

After we went on a bike ride the mountain biker came out in Cameron. Like father like son...Erik was all over it and had all the kids biking off the dirt mound(we are using the dirt for our yard remodel starting memorial weekend). They did great, no crashes, and they loved it. Kate even joined in with no pedals. She was learning balance with no training wheels, the best way to go.

In May Erik did a bike race at Bear Lake. After we saw him start we went to the park while he went around the lake. The kids had so much fun they didn't want to leave.

Kate had a fieldtrip to Gold's Gym. They got to rockclimb. She climbed so high, I couldn't reach her anymore. Pretty good for her first time.

Cameron's fieldtrip to the firestation.

We made this Goldilocks puppet for Hannah's 2nd grade puppet show.


Avery...our future school girl. She went through this stage of wanting to wear the huge backpack all over the house.

Some new but old...

In February Kate fell at my grandma's house. Our first "I think she needs stiches" moment. But they glued it instead. She did awesome!




For Kate's 4th birthday we took her to build a bear. So cute!






Crazy hair day at the school. Kate just begged to have hers done too. I couldn't resist, she remind us of Cindy loo hoo off the Grinch.

Little mommy

Avery was playing with her baby. It was just so cute. I'm glad I thought to grab the camera. What a sweetie!

Hannah's Indoor Soccer

Hannah just got done with her 2nd session of Indoor Soccer. She had a blast. She loves playing Defense, back by the goal. Her coach nicknamed her "the wall" because she doesn't let anything past. She had a couple of goals too. These aren't the greatest pictures but I wanted to share our latest...
