Family Sledding

We had such a blast sledding after the enormous snow storm after Christmas!

Mexico Cruise

We went to Mexico on a 5 day cruise this past week and had a blast.  (This one was just for us, we left the kids at home and went with our friends Kyle & Jen.)

While on the cruise we played Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, Hand and Foot, and new dice games we learned from new friends on the cruise.  (We honestly spent hours everyday just hanging out and playing games... and eating!)

Disney for the week!

We had a great time!  Lots of miracles and great quality time!

The K-Boyz are WANTED!

Holy Smokes it SNOWED!!!

It is only October 12th and it snowed a few inches at our home!!  Check out this video from our front porch!

My Best Friend... (my wife Tricia)

Playing with a new camera...

Today I got a little camera and we tested it out with the boys...

Children's Program at Church

It was a sweet feeling seeing our boys singing songs about Jesus. 

And baring their testimony through song and word.

Kamryn's part- "We will all be able to see Jesus again."

Korbyn's part-  "My family likes to cook together"

Kadyn's part-    "I share the curls in my hair with uncles whom I love, but the truth of who I really am comes from up above"

"I am a Child of God"  sung by the boys!

Having fun with friend!  Kids playing with the guy who could juggle anything!

Time Share Week in Eden

What a fun week!  It always starts out with the Hot Air Balloon Festival, and ends with memories of good fun, good friends, good food, and good times.

Scouts ROCKS!

Kadyn had so much fun at Camp Tracy for his summer scout camp!  Each day he left clean and came home dusty dirty!  No matter what you're doing, if you end up dirty it had to be fun!  Thanks to dad for coming with me on Friday!

Family Reunion!

So fun to see all of our relatives!  For the family auction we won the bid on my aunt Laraines water color.  It is gorgeous, and fun to have a piece of art from her in our front entry!

Alpine Slides in Park City

The kids were hesitant at first but after riding for a few seconds asked to go faster!

Kadyn and Daddy Hike

Park City Mountain Resort Hike

6:30 comes early for a 9 Year Old, but Kadyn is a trooper and we had fun hiking the ski resort of Park City this morning.  We watched the sun come up over the beautiful mountains, and the hot air balloons launch to the skies.  I love hiking with my little man, he never complains when we hike (I want to figure out how to get that to work the rest of the time ;-)

Time Share Week in Park City #1

PARK CITY #1

We are up in Park City at the Marriott Mountain Side Resort for the whole week around the 24th of July and HAVING FUN!!!  Everyday there is swimming, swimming and more swimming.  We also have lots of fun activities that the resort puts on each day.  We have gone to a couple of fun parks, and hung around the hot tub each night! 

Service

Helping Opa plant a pine tree, take out some roots and plant flowers.  

What a good opportunity for the kids to learn how to work and serve! 

We had Vegetarian Pizza and Lemonade for dinner! Yummy!

We love you Oma &  Opa!

It's Jeff's Birthday!

One of our really good friends Jeff and his wife and three daughters joined us for a fun filled day at Pineview Boating and playing.  We then went to Chuck-a-rama for dinner, getting there right before they closed the doors.  Thank goodness because we were HUNGRY!  

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Pampering Time for the little guys

Playing Uno while getting a Foot Bath!

Does it get any more pampered than this?  These little cuties have a Mommy that loves and spoils them.  They each set up their favorite chair and took turns with each foot bath.  The favorite one has a little scrubber that turns when you put your foot on top of it.  Good thing they make waterproof Uno cards!

Korbyn Rides a Bike!

Korbyn has struggled with balance since birth.  Actually his balance with a pen is impeccable, but with a bike is a little questionable.  We were so excited to see him ride his little brothers bike.  The next challenge is to get him to ride his own bike. (A little higher off the ground!)  

WE LOVE YOU KORBYN!

4th of July

Today we started it out with Spencer running the Centerville Freedom Run 5k.  Then we ate breakfast at the park.  Kadyn and Korbyn climbed the rock wall, and Korby screamed!  We watched the parade, swam, took a nap and went to a friends house for fireworks.  (The perfect circles with the sparkler was Korby the artist!)

A Day On The Water

We got a boat and we are going to the lake a couple of times a week right now, WE LOVE IT!  Our whole family is all about being in water any time possible (swimming, canoeing, swimming,  kayaking, waterskiing, swimming, tubing, and yeah SWIMMING!!!).

It was so funny to watch Korbyn go up on the shore and roll in the dirt, then he continued to pick up handful after handful of dirt and slowly letting it out, Kadyn attacked the Kayak and Kamryn is happy just as long as he is wet! 

CABIN FEVER!

What a Fun weekend! We spent Fathers day at the cabin. 

 4wheeling, feeding horses carrots, EATING, camp fires, smores, pie irons, cotton snow, carpet beetles, Fathers Day, Church in Fruitland, and  good old hard work.  

The kids met some good friends to keep them busy, AJ and Daytona.   

Thanks mom and dad for a great weekend!

Today I am exhausted.  The day started out at the gym and then the boys and I went straight to my sisters house to paint Addison's nursery.  Addison is due August 8th!  We are so excited for Kim and Dave to have their own little one!  Congratulations!  It was fun to paint PINK.  I have never had that chance before.  Anyway, I look forward to painting pink again soon for our little one.  Thanks for the practice Kimber!  Love you!

Sleep Overs!!!

Since dad is out of town this week my boys and I have been having sleep overs!  They have their sleeping bags laid out in my room and we go to bed each night watching Ratatouille. We have loved having the door to the outside open so in the morning we can wake up to the birds chirping.  Thanks boys for having fun with me!

Tennis Lessons from DAD!

Spencer grew up on the tennis court.  His mother owned a pro-shop and so that was his life!  He enjoyed being in control and responsible for his own game!  So when the boys showed interest while at Wolfcreek we decided how fun it would be, and they have a blast!

"Zoo Mania"

It is so interesting  how you can have such different experiences at the zoo just within a few weeks.  The twin monkeys that used to be carried around are now on there own.  The jumping squirrel was having a siesta, and the white alligator moved, which hardly ever happens and we got to see it!

First Video Post

Here is my first attempt at making a little movie with iMovie on the Mac.

Hiking Sessions Canyon

We had some great lessons learned on this hike like:

1. Sometimes if we look back we might fall.
2. When we fall it's good to have someone there to grab your hand so you don't fall further!
3. When we start on the path again it's good to give thanks!

I am thankful for our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ!  Christ is always there for us if we "fall" and will lift us and reach out to us if we will allow him.  I love our older brother and feel so blessed for the plan we have been given to follow, and the path on which to trod. 

Haircut Time!

Kamryn was starting to look like a little old man, with his stick straight hair hanging over his ears!  And can you believe it?  I talked Spencer into giving me a haircut.  How nice is that?

Boating Time!

We got to have some fun today in my favorite place on earth!  Huntsville!  We took our boat out and it was a gorgeous day at Pineview Lake.  Smooth, warm and green!

PanCake Puffs

Today we tried something new for breakfast!  While shopping at Bukoos this week I found a little package of stuff to cook Pancake Puffs for $10.  I thought "If it is good, I got a great deal.  If it isn't that great than haven't lost more than a meal at IHOP."  The final outcome was great!   We added Neutella to the center and the kids gobbled them up!  If anyone has any other suggestions for the way you cook these and what you put in them let me know.  We would love to try it!

Garret's Birthday Party

Today was a fun day for the kids.  They got to go to Garret's Birthday Party!  How great is it to have such good friends growing up?! They had fun with egg races, three legged race, wheel barrel race, corn dogs, cupcakes, and to top it off a pirate piniatta "RRRRR Mate."  

Happy Birthday Garret!

Field Day at School

Today Kadyn & Korbyn got to have a fun day at school!  They played games, ran races, ate cotton candy and snow cones.  And their favorite part was the face and arm paintings.  Thanks to all of the parent volunteers who made it possible for the kids to have fun and the teachers to take a breather!

Korbyn lost his first tooth!

Korbyn has lost his first tooth!

To celebrate we went to Pace's Dairy Ann and enjoyed some yummy treats.
