Father's Day weekend

We went to visit Grandpa and Grandma and all the cousin's for Father's day.  We ended up staying for a week with them.  The kids had a great time playing with all their cousins.  One day we had a weenie roast. While the fire was getting ready for roasting the hot dogs the kids had a rodeo on the trampoline with all their cousins.  My brother, Brock, was the announcer.  The kids love him because he is so good with them.
 Tyler was Kate's bull.
 Ammon was Mason's bull.
 Lochlyn was Reagan's bull.
 Hudson was taking a turn watching the rodeo.
 The little kids like Elly played in the sandbox.
 At my sisters house she has this great tree the kids love to climb.  They are always in it.  I got some cute pictures of them while we were up there.


 Some of the kids in the tree.
 My sister and her friend came and took the kids for a horse ride.

 One of the days while we were visiting they brought a little pool out to grandma's house for the kids to play in. The big kids were playing in the sprinkler until they decided to fill the little pool with warm water, then the big kids wanted in too.
 When there was warm water in the pool all the kids wanted to me in it.  Looks like fun huh?
 The three muscle men!
 The big kids enjoying the pool.
It was fun to get to spend sometime with all of our family for a few days.  The kids were worn out by the time we got home and so was I.

Father and Sons

We had Father and Sons a few weeks ago so Jay and the boys went.  The boys were very excited to go without the girls but Elly was heart broken.  She cried and cried when Jay was loading all the boys stuff and not her's.  She really had a hard time when he took her out of the truck and gave her to me.  It was sad but she got over it once they left.

The boys getting ready to leave.  Jay asked them if they wanted to sleep in the tent or just in the back of the truck and they both wanted the back of the truck.
They were suppose to have Jay take pictures of them down there but I never checked his camera to see if that happened or not, maybe one day I will.
When they got home they told me they had a lot of fun.

Smiley little boy

Drake has gotten really good at smiling whenever someone talks to him.  I love this part of little babies.  He has finally started to be a good baby again.  The first couple of weeks he was good and then he was hard for a few weeks.  It is nice to have a happy baby again.

I love this picture because it shows his dimples really well.


I think he is so cute.

Teddy

This little girl attaches to anything she can find.  She use to attach to any soft, fuzzy blanket but then I took those away hoping it would stop her from sucking her thumb.  That didn't matter she soon found a baby doll that was made out of cloth and would carry that around so she could suck her thumb.  I took that and she still didn't care she just found something else to love.  It is now Tyler's teddy bear, whose name was teddy when he use to have to have it so he could sleep and she also calls it "teddy."  I have decided that she doesn't care if I take it from her she will just find something else so I have given up on taking things like this from her.  I guess she will stop sucking her thumb when she decides to. 
She is pretty funny to watch with this teddy bear.  She loves him and gets mad if the boys are mean to him.  He has to go every where with her.  The store and church are about the only times when she will agree to leave him in the car.  She sure loves this teddy and cries at night if we can't find it.  We are getting pretty good at finding him when she hides him.  She has a spot where she puts everything.  When things go missing we check the bottom of the game closet and it is almost always there.  She is a funny little girl.

Drakes Blessing

We finally got Drake blessed.  He was blessed by Jay on June 12, 2011, others that were there where: Grandpa Young, Lewis, Dean, Evan, Brad, Wolf and Rodney.  It was a nice blessing. Drake looked so cute.

 He is getting to be such a smiley little boy and so happy.
After we got home from church I had my brother take some quick pictures for us of our family.

Our cute little kids.  You can tell a lot about our kids personalities just by this picture.  I love each one of them. They are so cute and fun, not to say they don't test my patience.  I am glad we have each one of these little kids.  They are a blessing to us.


Two fun weeks

The kids had swimming lessons the first two weeks after school got out, I didn't take any pictures of that.  My sister's little girl, Gracie, took lessons with the boys so she came down to our house for the first week without her mom and then for the second week her mom and siblings came.  It was fun to have them and the kids had a lot of fun.  Camille's little boy was so good with Drake. 

 The weekend that swimming lessons finished was when we blessed Drake.  Some of my family was able to make it.  We went to the swimming pool, played some Mario kart and some games with them.
 The little kids watched a movie downstairs and crashed when they got tired.  They all looked so cute sleeping together.


We had a lot of fun having family at our house.  They don't get to come visit very often so we have to party when it happens.  We might get them to come back and visit again sometime.  The kids loved having their cousins at our house.

The last Baseball game for the boys!!

The boys played their last baseball game a couple of weeks ago.  I have been really slow at posting things once again. It was really fun to watch them play and cheer them on.  They both loved it.  Here are some pictures from their last game.
