HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY 2010

One of my favorite pictures of the Day

It was a beautiful day. Not too hot and lots of Sun, and maybe a little too much Lehi Wind. We had a wonderful BBQ with lots of good salads and plenty of Hambergers and Hotdogs. Yum Yum! Wait till you see what was for dessert!

Aunt Wendy wanted everyone to remember how beautiful she is. Don't worry I don't think we could ever forget you now!

All the cousins loved playing on a huge tube that somehow found it's way in our field.

We had a chocolate fountain for dessert. Everyone brought things to dip in the fountain. We had strawberries, pound cake, cookies, and even some potato chips. It went pretty fast. Marcus and Ben were not quite finished yet and while everyone was inside playing games they were still eating, until one of them got the brite idea to stick a toothpick down the center of the fountain which knocked it off the base and caused it to spin out of controll.

As you can see everything got a good sprinkling of chocolate. It was too funny to get mad at them. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is why chocolate fountains should always be used outside when curious boys are around.

Our Lake Mead Trip

We went to lake Mead just south of Vegas and fed the fish. They sure loved the Cheerio's, mayby because their mouths are shaped like little "O's"

Just got a new camera, LOVE IT! My kids especially love doing videos on it. Here is one of my favorite ones Marcus made. Enjoy!

Here is William, 13 years old, and his amazing talent of solving the "Cube". He auditioned for and performed for his Jr. High talent show and recieved a roaring applause from his fellow students. We are so proud.

Fall Leaves 2009

Playin in the Fall Leaves

We love going to grandpa's and playing in the piles of leaves, well, most of us. Marcus was more interested in jumping on the Trampoline. I got one shot of him, blurry though.

Mom doing her once a year fall activity. Yeah....only once a year do I plop my body into a pile of leaves

Even grandpa had to prove he was still fit enough to jump, only happened twice.

Trying to protect herself from grandpa tossing leaves at her

One of Marcus's few jumps. Sorry it's blurry.

Will loves fall!

Halloween

Happy Halloween

After a week of really cold days we lucked out with a perfect Halloween night. It was warm enough the kids only needed sweatshirts under their costumes. We walk and collected candy untill we could walk no more. It was a great night...and we still have candy a month later.

Anja was Katara from the show "Avatar"

Marcus was "The Avatar"

And William was a Mad Scientist

Will's Birthday

Will turned 13 on Oct. 18. He invited 3 friends to a movie and milkshake evening. All I need to say about the evening...We got kicked out of JCW's. Wow teens can be loud.

Will really enjoyed his gifts, which included a cell phone and an iPod. Teens are so expensive. I remember when a couple of $5 gifts was all a kid needed. Ah the memories!
