Temple Square

Our boys had never done the temple square thing. So we took them on a tour of the conference center. Let's just say they were maybe semi interested. lol
The boys stopped at the reflection pool in front of the temple. You can't help but be thankful for eternal families when you see that.
Here is baby Oak.....wait I mean Baby Dagen hitching a stroller ride. lol

Water logged!

Colton and Dagen turned into little fish. They tried everything from diving, jumping in, swimming across the pool, lazy river and water slide. They are getting so old.
We tried Oaklen with water wings. It was freedom for everyone!
Ryan, Oaklen, Dagen, and Colton playing in the pool. We swam every morning and every night plus Cherry Hills water park for 7 hours one day!
We are offically water logged after four days of the pool. Fun Family Times!!

Here they come!!

Colton has started a little Save the Rhino Clinic. He read they needed help in Grandpa's magazine. So here is his sign.
They decided to start up a candy stand also. It is always about making a buck for Colton.

He is quite the little entrupenuer.

Selling penny candy for 5 cents or 6 cents.

He was so excited when Pam arrived cause he knew she would have to buy some from him.

All the boys got into it.

Night at the Park

We went for a little evening fun at the park and came home way after dark!


Playground fun!!!
Wiggle car races! Notice that Pam needed a little help so thanks to Zayder she got rolling. lol

Splash Park

One day we went up to Rexburg to see Grandma and play at the splash park! Here are the boys getting wet!!




Drying out in the Sun!



Grandpa teasing the boys.....or is that the boys teasing Grandpa?

The whole day just wore Grandpa and Oaklen out.

Water Fight

Sunday turned into a spaghetti dinner and water fight. The kids had a lot of fun getting wet and playing together. Who won the water fight....depends on who you talk too! Because the little boys think that the big boys cheat because they can catch the water balloons. lol

Vacation with the Southwicks

Mary Freakin Poppins AKA Pam finally let her boys come for summer vacation. And let's just say it was nice to see her as Mary and not Freakin. We had a great time! Hurry BACK!!
Declyn, Dagen, and Ryan playing king of bunkers hill. This violent behavior is much more them. lol
Colton and Donovyn are a little bit from the same mold. They put on a great magic show for us.
Oak and Zayder being nice cousins for this moment. lol Oaklen has a hitting problem.
So sweet lady at Pam's work made all the boys matching pillow cases! It was sleep outs every night.
OAklen and Auntie Pam have a lot in common. They are both spoiled, testy, like things their way, suck their tongue, and can give the look of death. Yikes!!

Baseball Season 2010

Colton's team was the Cockroaches, and they did great! He learned a lot about the game and in the end he had FUN!!
Dagen had a great season. He is one fast runner! His team was the Lime Green Grasshoppers. He got a trophy thanks Grandpa!!

First Sleep Out

So after much begging and waiting for the thunderstorms to pass, the boys finally got to have their sleep out on the tramp. They stayed out the whole night. Colton and Dagen said the star gazing was the best part. Ryan's favorite part was when the dog ate his bestest air matress. lol
