Look who has 2 teeth! They FINALLY have come in. He has been a stinker for the last two weeks. He wouldn't eat anything. But now everyone is happy. And look how cute he is!

Update on swim lessons

Tanner & Carson are almost done with swim lessons. Tanner is doing pretty good. He just needs to be more comfortable with knowing that he can swim & do everything in the deep end. He doesn't like when he is in the deep end & can't touch the bottom of the pool.

Carson's class went in the deep end today with life jackets. She had them practice floating on their backs & swimming around. Then she had them jump off the side to her. He is finally ok with going under water & getting his face wet.

Beach trip

Jen, Mom, Brooke, Taija, Kim & I went to California for a girls trip. It was so much fun. We really never had a set schedule. Just lots of fun stuff we wanted to do. Friday night we went to the beach & walked on the pier. We saw people fishing & the crazy boys jumping off. Then we spent the whole day Saturday at the beach. We went boogie boarding. The weather was so nice & we had such a good time. (Thanks to Jen's friends Linda & Ed who hooked us up with the boogie boards, chairs & umbrellas.) Then we went shopping, got pedicures and then of course ate again!
Today Jen & I took all these girls to IKEA for the first time! It was great!
I didn't get many pictures. I was worried about the sand in my camera. So check out Brooke or Jen's blog.
Thanks you girls for all the fun & memories!

Do you remember running in the sprinklers?

That's what Tanner & Carson did tonight at 8:00. It was so hot & humid today.
And then here was Crew chewing on his thumb just watching his brothers!

Swim lessons

The boys had their first day of swim lessons today. It will be monday thru thursday for two weeks. Tanner did really well. We was signed up for level one but when he was with his instructor and he saw how well he was swimming he moved him up to level two. He did everything he was told. I was so happy. But Carson cried the whole time! He kept saying he didn't want to do it & he wanted his mom. I forgot my camera so I will have to post pictures later.

This weekend

We went to the waterpark yesterday for Gabriel's birthday. Look how cute these boys are.And these boys too!

8 months

He loves Boots. Always wants to get his hands on her.
Loves mom. And Dad too. And even his brothers.
But prefers mom. He always needs to know where I am at.
Likes the pool. Starting to like his baths more each day.
He is a good eater.
Rolls all over but prefers to be held.
Will he ever learn how to crawl?
Loves when we sing but his favorite is twinkle twinkle little star.
He just starts to laugh when we sing that song.
He is so wiggly and jumpy.

Look who turned 5 today! We went to Conner's party tonight. The boys had a fun time . Water balloons were the hit.

Kindergarten Promotion

Tanner graduated Kindergarten today!!! I can't believe he will be in 1st grade next year.

I was reading this.
Check it out!

Utah trip

We took a quick trip to Provo this weekend. We left early Saturday morning and then got home at midnight last night. We had a few delays with the fires and then we had a blowout. But everything ended up fine & we made it home safe. Here are a few pictures that I took from Provo Canyon at Bridal falls. It was so nice & pretty there. We took lots of pictures and let the kids play.
The kids ended up getting all wet and having so much fun.
Crew even loved it. He was so excited. Especially when he could see the waterfalls. The water was really cold so he didn't like this too much!
This was the waterfall right above us.

This is a picture of Kayla and Crew. Nana Jean's oldest & youngest grandkids!!
We tried to get a picture of all the grandkids with Nana. Not the best but that's ok right?
And then these two cute boys! I love them! They were so good considering it was such a quick trip & we had to spend a lot of time in the car.
Before we left Provo we took took the boys to the new Cabelas store in Lehi. They were so into it. It was a pretty cool place but I have more fun shopping at IKEA!!!

11 years today

we were married!
I tried to scan a wedding picture but couldn't figure that out. I thought that would be something funny to look at. Tanner thinks those pictures are pretty funny. I don't know maybe because we were so young and funny looking??

4th of July

We had a fun 4th. We took the boys to the waterpark for a couple of hours in the afternoon. They always love that. Then we had a BBQ at the Santiago's and then did fireworks. I didn't take too many pictures. These are the only ones that really turned out.

Camping trip

We went camping this weekend at Kolob with the Darrington's. The kids had a good time. All the kids except Crew. Once we got there his allergies really got bad. I brought his medicine and was able to give him his breathing treatments but it really didn't help. He was miserable and only wanted to be held. So that made it miserable for me! And then to top it off he got sunburned. I didn't even realize that he would get sunburned since we were sitting under the shade the whole day. And it was so hot during the day and so cold at night. Just not very fun for him! I really should have stayed home with him.

Water & Mud. What could be more appealing the little boys?? The boys had so much fun playing in the lake. Dustin & the girls actually got in and went swimming for awhile.
And a picture of Crew. Poor baby!
