Gym tricks!

I showed my older kids this excersise with the ball that J. likes to do all the time.

It involes creating a plank with the body while the toes are on the ball then bringing the ball/knees in towards the chest and out again.

W. deided he would do it too!

That is when I decided to get the camera out.

Not to B (ha ha) left out of the fun



Clarissa visits!

Cousin E. was coming to spend girl cousin time with J.!

Excitment was in the air!

Then Aunt Clarissa finds out what the additional fees are for sending an unaccompanied minor on the plane! 

OUCH!

She could buy a ticket and accompany her herself!

So that is just what she did and brought baby A. with her!

WHOOHOO!

We were excited before but now it was times 3!

Our excitment was well rewarded!

As is typical I didn't take any pictures except when the siblings got together.

Colorado Camping!

We love to camp!

We enjoyed our camping trips in Colorado!

It is fun!

Join us sometime!



Devils Head

(Still playing catchup)

We went as a family on our first hike since moving to Colorado!

It was the Devil's Head hike.

  A great family hike in which you hike to a ranger lookout tower, where they watch for forest fires.

This means gorgeous 360 degree views. 

The views weren't what they usually are because of the smoke from the fires in AZ.

The ranger said that normally we can even see the mountains in New Mexico.

Gorgeous!



Kindy Graduation!

Whoohooo B.!



Good place for a nap!

It was obvious to all that W. needed a nap. 

To all except him- of course.

He refused to get in his bed and decided to hide in his closet. 

Is this the trick to sleeping like a baby?



Bronco's Stadium Party

Newmont Mining celebrated it's 90th year by throwing a big party for employees and family at the Bronco's Stadium.

It is so nice when we take a night to just have fun as a family! 

Thanks Newmont Mining!

Shooting with the guys!

The Elders Quorum when shooting. 

Marty had a great time and came home with

 a sunburn, a big bruise from the riffle kickback, and a big smile.

Wow 4 and 6 and 9! Where does the time go?

I was happy when the boys let me throw a joint Star Wars Party for their birthday.

We had around 25 young padawans come for training.

It was fun and crazy!

Just as a party should be.

Miss J. had a few friends over for a Pajama party! 

The candy bar game is a serious competition-

Every one had a serious case of the giggles! 

Kansas we love you!

We had a great time visiting the Grands in Kansas for spring break!

  Play time with Grammie and Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles (Josh you get included cause soon you will be), and cousins!

  Whohooo!

We had so much fun we hardly took any pictures of them :-(

 Lame I know.

Here are a few of our trip.

On our way there we saw a bunch of semi's hauling pieces of windmills. They are HUGE!
