End of Summer Pics-totally random!

Here are some pictures, they aren't in any particular order, so here they are:

Belle took this pic. She didn't do too bad.

Kate totally thinks she is as big as Belle!

We went swimming the last day we could before school started-Tyler's there in the corner. Bradley finally decides to go off the high dive. He decided to go off the low dive earlier that day-after about 10 times of backing out, he finally did it. This was huge--he is scared to do it with his life jacket, but they wouldn't let him have it on. Anyways, this was a major thing for the boy!! His facial expression was great if you can see it!!

Tyler's 33rd birthday dinner at his parents.

A day after Tyler's birthday is when Katelyn decided she wanted to be on the top of the highest thing in the room! I cannot leave her for one second. She is such a handful. It will be a miracle if we don't have to take any trips to the hospital in the next few months. She will get to where she's going ( on top of anything) and just wait for someone to look at her. It's so funny, and she knows she's funny.

For Tyler's birthday we got him some baseball tickets.

This is during the "Take me out to the ball game" song. Bradley really gets into it!

The first day of school we sold our car. I was suppose to make the sell during Brad's first day of school, but had to wait until after. I picked him up in it for the last time and asked what he learned about. He said "I will tell you if you don't sell this car" He was very emotional, but got over it because we bought my mom's van with a tv in it.

Celebrating his birthday at school with Belle by his side. They love each other even though they fight like crazy!! Any suggestions about the fighting??

Brad's family party. I made the baseball field cake for him. I couldn't make up my mind, so it started as a baseball jersey cake, but decided to do a little field instead. He liked it, that's all that mattered!!

Belle was such a good trooper through all the present opening!

The big gift. He's been wanting this "globe with a computer" for a while. I told him it was too expensive, so ask santa for it. Well, Tyler says he's spoiled, so of course he got it. He loves it!!

Belle making Brad's baseball cupcakes for his friend birthday.--I guess he is spoiled.

Six Years Old, crazy

We have way, way too many toys now!

Katelyn just loved being free. She is definitely our most independent one. She is all over the place.

At the zoo.

Making apricot leather. They are always ready to help!

8 whole years ago. Tyler was very nice and took me dinner and to the 3rd Twilight movie. He even rented the first 2 so he could know what was going on!

Look at how much all of us has changed. Eight years doesn't seem that long, but I guess it kinda is!

This is one of my favorites. We are off to Hawaii on our honeymoon with no money. We are for sure going back when we have lots (of money)!!

Busy July

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY KATELYN

I'll start with Kate's 1st birthday. . .we celebrated it July 24th because we got home from pioneer trek on her real birthday--July 22nd! And yes, she did enjoy the cake!!

She was super tired--we went to the carnival just before, so she was done!

About to fall asleep!


Belle, Taylin, and Brad--before Belle screamed her head off the entire ride!!

Us at the carnival.

Green snow cones!!

We filled the pool up for Kate's birthday--can you guess who thinks she owns the pool??

Random pics:


Pioneer Trek--July 19th-22nd
Very hot, dusty, but a good experience.
Tyler: 0 mosquito bites Anne: 55 plus mosquito bites, (mostly on my face, and left arm!!)


Here's our family after we played some life games


We are missing one kid here

Our family of 12

Before we left--nice and clean!!
These next few pics are from East Canyon, where we spent the week after the 24th. I forgot to move all the pics to the computer, so there wasn't much I could take!!

My big girl-Belle--floats on her back now!! It took a lot to get to this point!!





Bradley skiing with Tyler for the first time! I was about to get in when I chickened out. Brad said, "It's okay, you don't have to if you don't want to"

Lounging outside the condo on Danae's big blowup chair
I can't believe I'm putting this next pic up, but I am so excited that I found a way to not cry while cutting onions!! I will loosen them next time, they are pretty snug!

I know it's beautiful!!

4th of July


My cute little kids!




Five generations: Me & the kids, my dad, my grandma, my great grandma on her 93rd Birthday


Great, great grandma's 93rd birthday on July 4th


Here we are at the children's parade. Very Hot!! But it was fun.

Callie with 4 of her 5 puppies. The one closest to her died a few days later. There was a huge brown one born dead about 2 hours later. Belle said that one was just sleeping. Later, when she realized that she was still sleeping she said "She will come back alive when Jesus comes"

Brad & Belle waiting in the closet for the puppies to come!
