Idaho

The 3 little boys and I drove my Mom up to Boise last week for my Nephew Delan's graduation. It was a fast trip, but like always it was fun. We left Monday morning in the middle of a snow storm. How crazy to have a snow storm at the end of May. So needless to say it took us a little longer to get there then it normally does. When we finally got there we just hung out for the afternoon with the family. Then later that night we all went over to our hotel room and swam. The boys love to stay in hotels. They think it is so fun. I wish I would have got a picture of Ryan in his "bed". The past few times we have stayed at a hotel he has taken the big over stuffed chairs and pushed them together and slept on that. It works out great for him. Then it frees up some space on the beds. So we got my niece Eliza to come stay with us. Well the next day we got up got ready and went and hung out with the family some more. We went to a park and had lunch, played at the park, and feed the geese. Later that night was Delan's graduation. I was so glad his last name started with an "A". My kids were so grumpy and tired by the time it started that we listened to the speakers, saw him walk, and then left. We went back to our hotel and swam some more. Then it was off to bed to wake up early and drive home the next morning. The trip home was a lot easier there was no wind, rain, or snow. It went a lot faster. When we got home it was time for Preston's baseball game, then off to Young Women's for me. Gosh I am tired just remembering that week. All in all it was fun to see my family and let the kids play with there cousins. Thanks Stephanie for hooking us up with a hotel. The boys loved it!!!

The baby geese




On one of our many potty breaks the boys thought this sign was cool, So we stopped for a photo shoot. Yes they are in there jammies. It is a lot more comfy to drive in your jammies!

Pirate Island

So we always let kids pick a fun activity to do for there Birthday. Ryan was so funny because he would change his mind about every hour for a week about what he wanted to do. The day we finally had enough time to go and do something for his Birthday he picked "Pirate Island". I was glad because we have been wanting to go there ever since it had opened. We even had a whole bunch of tokens that my Brother got the boys for Christmas & have just never had time to go there. It was a fun place my boys are always up for video games and getting tickets to get prizes. We got over 100 tickets between the 7 kids playing games. At the end we just divided them up even between the kids. I only snapped a few pictures because we were having to much fun playing games and eating food.

My Boys



My Nieces

Ryan is 5

My little man Ryan turned 5 a few days ago. I am a little sad because of this. It is so crazy how fast they grow up. It is hard for me to think that he will be in Kindergarten in the fall. I hope he never loses his crazy little laugh it is so contagious. It comes from deep inside and feels a whole room. We love you buddy and hope that you had a great birthday!!! Here are some fun pictures from the joyous day.

I was going threw my camera and notice I had a lot of fun pictures of the kids just hanging out and doing different things that I have never really found a post for them. So here is my post of just random pictures!!!

Preston shooting a basket at a camp he did. Sad that this is the one and only picture I took of him during it.

Photos by Preston!

For Christmas Preston got a camera. He asked if I could download the pictures to the computer so he could mess with them on the software that came with the camera. I thought that some of the pictures were way cute and just wanted to share them!








For some dumb reason these dang pictures would not turn. So you may have to telt your head a little!

Kindergarten Program

Preston's teacher this year did an end of the year program. They sang songs and even did a play. "The Little Red Hen" It was way cute & a fun program. Preston was not feeling great since earlier he had 2 teeth pulled. But he was a trooper and went and did his best. Here are a few highlights from the evening!

Here he is waiting for the program to start.


Here are few action shots.



I am bummed that I did not get any shots of him during the play. He was one of three duck and his line was "Not I, quack, quack. I can tell from that line that he is a star in the making!

Look How Big We Got!

Whenever we go to the Zoo we always get a picture of the kids standing in front of the Gorilla. My Sister started it with here boys and I started it with McKay. I even have a picture of him barley able to sit and he is in front of the Gorilla. So here are the kids in front of it this year.
