Tylar entered a photo of her favorite person (her baby brother) in the Reflections contest this year. She got a certificate and a metal. It was a beautiful picture and a good experience.

Happy Anniversary to us!!!

It was our 13th anniversary on Nov 17 we both forgot since our trip to San Diego was our BIG CELEBRATION. Trin brought these home for me, aren't they beautiful?

San Diego and Game Day!!

Trin and I had the chance to fly down to San Diego with some friends and see a Chargers game. I don't really have a favorite NFL Team but love to watch football and how could we pass up the chance to go to a NFL game?? So my sister watched the kids (thanks sis) and we headed down for the weekend.
That is one full stadium.

Our friends Ryan and Debbie Hibbert. (Thanks for the plane tickets) Can you tell it was a chillie experience.

This is our view from our seats. The larger than life scoreboard.

Debbie and I in front of the stadium. We went hours early, we weren't sure how traffic was going to be. We had hours to wander around the stadium and find Trin the perfect hat.

In front of the Chargers store on the hunt for the perfect hat and some warm sweatshirts.



So we found it, finally. Here it is Trin and his perfect hat.

Walking along the waterfront. We ate at Anthony's Grotto. Oh yummy!! Great oysters on the half shell. (Or at least that is what Trin said not for me ewww) We had so much fun that Trin is already planning a trip next year to see the Greenbay Packers play. (Good luck with that one honey)




The future of NFL.

PRO BOWL!!

McKayden was invited to play in the Pro Bowl along with 7 other members from his team.

They played the Saturday Trin and I went to San Diego to watch the Chargers play. We were sad to miss the game but he was in good hands. His Aunt Neisha came down to take him. He had fun and played a good game... We have one more tournament left and than football season will be over. We're going down to Las Vegas to play in the Pigskin Tournament over Thanksgiving. (I'm sure I'll post pictures when it happens)

Happy Halloween!!!

We ended up going to the ward party the kids all dressed up. Tylar was Bob Marley, not sure where she picked that one up. Mckayden was Commander Cody, Collyn was Darth Vader, Thanks Dad, and Ashtyn was a dancin princess I guess. Dylainy was a pirate but I have no pictures of her she had dance this night and the night of halloween she went with a friend and than spent the night. The kids had fun.. So did mom and dad.

Softball in Mesquite

Our niece KyRae was in a softball tournament in Mesquite so we decided to drive down and spend the night. We stayed at Connie's house, we took the kids swimming, ate the best ribs ever, and watch 7 softball games. KyRae's team took 2nd place. Way to go KyRae!!!!

KayRae is the catcher. She is awesome boy that girl can do it all.

McKayden with his cousin Kaige.

Playin' at the park!!

Well the summer is winding down and Angela and I decided to take the kids to the park. It will probablly be the last time. They sure had fun climbing trees and swinging.

McKayden

On that last post I realized that the picture I posted was not of McKayden... so here he is in all his football glory, number 18 and we love him.

Football!!!!

So we've been doing alot of football. McKayden has had practices twice a week and games on Saturdays. His team took 3rd place and he made the Pro-Bowl, which is an invitation only game, so we were excited about that he'll play that this Saturday.

My little walker!!

Collyn has started walking quite a big in the last day or 2. He still crawls alot it is quicker for him. I just love it when he tries to walk. So stinkin cute. Thank goodness for cushy diapers. If you listen close you can hear him breathing. This kid is the noisiest breather on the planet.

Trip to the firestation!

Lainy had a fieldtrip to the firestation today. Collyn and I tagged along for fun. Collyn had tonz of fun!! HEE-HEE!!! I was worried Lainy was going to get thrown. She is a skinny little gal. I'm sure the firehose could throw her around pretty good

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL BOY!!!

Collyn turned 1 on September 29th. We did a birthday party for him the day before with family. The next day I took him to McDonalds for his 1st happy meal. A little cheesy I know but I had to do something for him on his real Bday. Can I just say this has been the sadest day of my life. My little baby is not so much a baby.
As you can see he had a blast eating his cake. I finally had to take it away so he wouldn't get a tummy ache. He sure was angry. He just loved the frosting.
My sweet little man. He has such a wonderful personality and is happy all the time. (Except when his tummy says it's hungry) The boy sure can eat. If you look close you can see his little teeth. He has gotten 4 in the last month. I was starting to wonder if he would ever get any.
I had to put this one on. This is a rarity. If any of you know Trin you know he does not like his picture taken, but here you go. You just have to throw a kid in the picuture and he's all for it. Trin is a wonderful father. Collyn is his little buddy. He sure loves his daddy!

"The best day of my life!"

We took the kids to the State Fair. I can't remember the last time I went. I think it was Trin and I were dating. The kids sure had fun. Ashtyn exclaimed, "This is the best day of my whole life!." Wow imagine that something so simple can make a 4 year olds life!!
Collyn had a blast he loved seeing the animals and enjoyed is giant corndog for lunch.
Can you tell Dylainy is terrified?? Wow the things that scare a 7 year old.
Sorry not a great picture. Check out the butter sculpture!

Campin' at Strawberry!!!

We packed up the kids and headed up to Strawberry for a weekend with my family. We have done this the last 3 years and the kids sure have fun playing with their cousins. We tent it but Trinity says this is the last year we will be doing that. I don't mind it but it is hard with 5 kids to tent it. So we'll see if we end up buying a trailor. I can think of other things I could spend the money on.
The girls looking out over the valley. Little Ashtyn is almost as big as her big sis Lainy. It's funny Lainy wears Ashtyns clothes to school. More the merrier I suppose a girl can never have too many clothes.
Collyn sure loved his first camping trip. Last year was so much easier, they're not so much work when their in you tummy. But he had fun eating corn on the cob and smores. Boy what a mess he can make.
Nice fish Tylar!!! Fishing with Grandpa is always the highlight of the trip. I think all of the kids caught a fish. Dylainy caught an Albino Cutthroat. What a weird looking fish that was. They never quite get enough time in the boat. We can't wait for next years trip.

Football Football Oh Ya More Football!!!

As you can see I have a couple boys that just love football. Collyn chases the football around the house and likes to throw it to whom ever is around. Hopefully for his birthday we can find a football just his size.
McKayden is on the 49ers this year. He plays center on the O and defensive end on the D. He loves playing and it sure keeps us busy.
