Drive in and Raging waters 2010 ~ July 9th

So we didn't waste ANY time after coming home from our trip......we just kept the fun going! We the day after we got home we decided to go to Riverside and go to the drive in movies. The kids had SO much fun! We saw the movie Despicable Me. The kids really liked it, but I didn't get to really watch it because I was chasing Ben half the night ;)

Joseph, Ben and Brig in the back of the Suburban

Paul found a cozy seat...Ben's car seat!

Such a WIGGLE WORM!!!

These boys wore themselves out!

We brought some of the cousins home with us so we could all

go to Raging Waters the next day! So this is what I woke up to :)

Love these kids!!!

Joseph showing off his missing teeth

Bryce and Paul had a blast playing together on the kiddie waterslides!

As you can see...we did not let Paul's cast get in the

way of us having a great time!

WAAAAHOOOOO! (love the tongue sticking out)

My niece and nephew Sydney and Bryce...aren't they adorable!?!

What!?!? Did someone say ADORABLE!?!? I'm right here! ;)

This boy had so much fun splashing in the water and going on the

slides with his brothers. He is definitely a little fish!

And as you can see he wore himself out!

This was when mommy FINALLY got to relax.....

I was so impressed that Paul was such a good sport! He NEVER complained about his cast... and that thing was heavy! I put a towel around it, then put plastic wrap around it, thenput a plastic bag on it, then put floaties on it and finally I put a tube around his waist for him to rest it on while he was swimming just to MAKE SURE it wouldn't go under :D I think his arm weighed more than he did!

Baby Ben

Here are some pictures of our sweet little Ben in this first 4 weeks of his life! We are so loving him and I am loving having a newborn to snuggle! Kristen this is for you ~ thanks for being so excited about my baby! Hope you all enjoy our pictures!

First Day of School!

So this year Brigham started 1st grade and Joseph started Kindergarden! I think they are the most handsome boys in the whole school, but I'm not prejudice or anything! They are both really loving their teachers and there classmates. I asked them both what their favorite thing about school was, Brig said playing on the big playground and Joseph said going to the same school as Brig! I was really worried about how Joseph would do because he just didn't seem as ready as Brig did last year, but he has done great! We were so excited because he got the same teacher's Brig had last year and we just loved them!!! A perfect fit for Joseph, they are both sweet and bubbly which is exactly the type of person that motivates him. Brig also got an amazing teacher and has alot of the same kids in his class as last year. Here are some pictures.


Brig's 1st day of 1st grade!


Joseph's 1st day of Kindergarden!


Paul wanted his picture taken too! It
was so funny because he just walked
up like it was his turn after Joseph and
said CHEESE! Mike and I were laughing!
He thinks he's such a big boy!


Joseph at his desk.


Paul wanted to say goodbye before we left.

Joseph's teacher's Mrs. Manhire on the left and
Mrs. Jacobsen on the right. They are such great
teachers! And of course Paul had to be in the picture!

Raging Waters!!

So now that gas is so much I decided the best way to keep my kids busy this summer was to buy season passes to Raging Waters. They absolutely love it and so do I! I just sit in a chair in the shade and watch them have a blast, then we go to the lazy river before we head home. We had so much fun I talked my whole family into buying passes! So now my mom comes down with Kim, Boo, Todd, Sierra, Greg, Trevor, Ethan, Kate and Shawn and we all go together then they spend the night and we go the next day before they head home. My kids have really enjoyed spending time with grandma and cousins. There were to many pictures to post so I made a slide. Stay tuned for more....we go every week!

Boys Gone Wild

Warning: For all of you who have a bunch of sweet little girls and have no idea what raising boys is like...you might want to sit down for this!

This video gets a little long but it is worth watching till the end. This is my life....and I love it!!Mike and I were cracking up at how little Paul just hangs in there with the "Big Boys"! The kid is a brut! There is one part where Brig just throws him and he just gets up and keeps on going! I hope you get as good a laugh out of this as we did!
