Happy 9th Birthday Kaden

 Money and a Camel Pack :) I love that Kaden, Tyler and Jaxson all have sweaty, messy hair. I am sure they just got in from riding motorcycles.

 For Kadens party we took some of his friends boating. Here Kaden is showing his dance moves on the tube.

 Everyone taking a dip in the water

 The crew (Lincoln,Carter, Jaxson, Cole, Kaden, Sam, Campbell, Conner and Tyler) Kaden was nice enough to let Tyler invite the cute little girl Campbell to come along with us. All these kids are awesome and good kids.... I love that Kaden has met such great friends.

Silly Faces!!

Happy Birthday Kaden we love you sooo very much. You are such a good, obedient boy. I cannot believe how fast you are growing up. Your favorite things to do are.... play the WII, watch TV, ride your motorcycle, go wakeboarding, read and play soccer. You have turned into such a good little reader and if I say no to the TV then I will find you curled up somewhere with a book. I love that you are nice to everyone at school and to everyone we meet. We love, love, love you!!!

Little Mess Maker

 YEAH we have our very first Piggie. It was sooo much fun doing her hair. No she did not hold still for one second.... I LOVE doing little girls hair and to be able to do my own daughters hair was even more fun. (Yes she is chewing on a crayon, this girl is trouble.)

 Mess maker, mess maker make me a mess!!! Kennedy has been my biggest mess maker of all. Every drawer she can open she empties it all out of the floor. I was helping Lincoln in the bathroom and this is what I came back too :)

She loves to clean out everything under the sink to make herself her own little place to sit.

Grandpa's 55 Chev

 Grandpa Dunn has been working on this 55 Chev for years and got it fully restored. He put it in the Bountiful car show parade.

 All the older grandkids got to ride in the car with him. They loved it.

 The boys checking the car out

Good work Grandpa Dunn the car looks AMAZING!!

Happy Birthday Tyler

 Tyler turned 6 years old.  We love our little Ty guy he is constantly riding his bike and tinkering outside. To everyone else he is the quiet one but get him one on one and he will talk your ear off telling you story after story. We are so lucky to have him in our family.

 On his birthday we went boating in the morning then JD took the boys mountain biking and we went hiking that night.

Kitty Cat Love

Kaden loves this cat and plays with it constantly.

Water + Sun= FUN

 Carter, Tyler, Kaden & Sam these two friends had never really been on a boat before they met Kaden. They have learned to kneeboard and tube and we love having them come along.

 I tried wakeskating behind Michaels boat. It was pretty fun.

 One of the many crashes I had. I died laughing when I saw this picture.

 Amanda brought the kiddos up to hang out on the beach :)  

 Kayci and Jaxson got to spend the weekend with us. We had so much fun I miss my "other" kids.

 All tuckered out

 Tyler played baseball this summer and did great

Living in the country

I just had another one of those country living experiences that are totally gross but make our life here what it is. Today we are outside playing in the sandbox and I look over and notice Kennedy is playing with fresh cat poop..... GROSS. I then remember when the guy that waters our field came up our driveway on his horse... The horse left us a nice green present on the ground. We were all outside working Kennedy came over to us with a gross look on her face, her arm stretch out with a handful of fresh horse poop in her hand....GROSS. Last one I was sleeping peacefully with the bed all to myself (JD was in Vegas) when around 2 in the morning I was woken up by the most disgusting smell...skunk. I could have sworn it was in the house it was so strong. The skunk sprayed our front downstairs window and door. Little did I know that you cannot leave cat food out on your front porch!!

Sometimes the animals, spiders, dirt and weeds get the best of me... But then I look around and I love it here.
