Christmas

 We enjoyed a fun Christmas in Yakima

 My dad rented a bouncy house/slide that we all loved.

 I made my kids aprons (except Lincoln)

 Amy was asking about any new stuff at my house so here's the rug I changed out in my piano room for a new look.

and I decided on these chairs instead because they have more color.

Anna's Baptism

Here is the new "lockers", still deciding if we will put doors on them or not

my wallpapered bathroom.  Still need to frame the mirror

Kay hurt her foot so she has a walking boot

We got a puppy

This is Scout.  He is a miniature shnauzer. He will be an indoor dog and grow to be around 15 lbs.  The kids are having the best time playing with him.  

Russ got his face painted at Bluffdale Old West Days.

We got some delicious corn from our garden. 

4 school lunches to pack

Lincoln rides his bike

In the Regional Bball tourney Lincoln got MVP for a game.  Now he has started football practicing 6-8 mon-sat.  His first game is Aug 31st when family is here for Anna's baptism.  Yay.

Lately....

a few weeks ago we went to Texas to get together with Todd's family.  The kids loved it.  Lincoln especially!  

 Russ liked jumping from the top bunk to the other bed.  It was pretty funny.

 Todd always talks of his fond memories jumping into the creek.  We're glad the kids could enjoy it.   They also easily caught lots of fish.

 We got an above ground pool.   Totally worth it.  The kids love it!

We had such a great week with the Smith family visiting.  We set off some fireworks, went to the Riverton parade, Classic Fun Center water slides, Ikea, and staying up too late!

 Russ was worn out.

 Linc and Caden liked doing their own Parkour stuff, which I guess is jumping off of stuff.  They were cute.

 and this is a little thing I got at Hobby Lobby that I love for hanging my necklaces.

Kaylee always does her own cute hair styles

Russ loves jumping on the tramp with sprinklers

 and doing gymnastics moves

 Here's Kay at the park right by the Oquirrah Mt Temple near us.  It has a beach area.

 We've had so much fun with seeing the tulips come up this year.  Russ loves to go check on them each day.
