Happy Birthday!!!

It was Lainy's birthday on July 9th. She turned the big 7. We had a couple parties for her one with just the family and another with both sides of the family.

For her birthday we took her friend Megan to Seven Peaks swimming. She had such a great time.

GIRLS

I don't know how many of you remember playing this at a sleepover. I was educating my girls. You lay on each other stomachs and usually if one starts laughing you all start laughing. I think they thought their mother was crazy. (Who am I to argue)

4th of July FUN!!!

For the 4th of July we went down to the Stadium of Fire. As you can see Ashtyn had a blast. It was pretty windy when we first got there. We were worried about the fireworks and if they would do them. The weather calmed down and what a fireworks display it was.

As you can tell our seats weren't the greatest but we sure had fun!
The kids waiting for the show to begin.

It's all about the baby!!

So there are so many fun things that Collyn is doing. Many firsts, so you'll have to bear with me as alot of pictures of the baby are coming. This is a little trike that is Ashtyns. Tylar puts him on it and pushes him around ouside.
He can pull himself to standing and is starting to walk furniture. (OH NO!!!)
Alyssa and Tylar taking him down the slide.
The trike.

What can I say the boy likes to lounge!!

When ever Collyn is in his highchair he always manages to make his way to this position.

Fun, Fun, Fun

Tylar and I were messing around with smilebox. I thought we would post what we made up. Hope you enjoy.

Playin' on Fathers Day!!!!

For Fathers day we went up Provo canyon and had a picknick then we walked up to Bridal Veil Falls.
You can't tell but this log was out in the river. Trinity had to carry the kids out one by one. By the time he was done he couldn't feel his legs. After I took the picture Trin was carrying the kids back to the shore and pulled McKayden in. He got soaking wet and needless to say it was cold really cold so the rest of the evening that is all we heard about. Thanks Trin!!!
This is Collyn's limo everyone of the kids has used this backpack. He seemed to love it.
The kids played at the bottom of the falls in the little pond. As usual Ashtyn managed to fall in, so that cut our trip short. She was freezing. It was a fun day. Happy Fathers day to the best dad in town.

How many times can you say HOME!!

So Trinity has been gone for 48 days straight. He drove straight home from Bonners Ferry, Idaho it is a 13 hour drive. He was so excited to get home he drove straight through. He got home early Thursday morning. We are so glad to have him home. Hopefully he'll be home for a while. He is supposed to be home for the summer, but with his job you never know things could change tomorrow.

You may recognize this bridge, it was in A River Runs Through It. Only 5 people are allowed on it at a time. It is outside of Troy, Montana.

This is Kootanie Falls in Northern Idaho.

Daddy would be so proud!!!

Also at the reunion they had a rock climbing wall. We used to go climbing quite a bit but not for a while. The kids did great all 3 got to the top. Ashtyn didn't want to try. They loved it and can't wait to do it again.

2nd Ward Reunion.

Also on Saturday I took the kids to the 2nd Ward reunion. Most of our old neighbors and friends have moved away. I figured it would be a good chance for the kids to see some old friends and get rid of some energy. Tylar loved seeing friends she doesn't get to play with alot. This is Tylar, Alyssa, Makelle, and Brecca.

Lainy was so excited to see her good friend Kennadie Burt. They moved to Vegas a couple years ago. They played the night away
Ashtyn riding the Dino.

Poor Collyn!! He sure has no lack of love from the kids at our house.

Dance Recital

The girls had their dance recital last Saturday. They all did a wonderful job. Ashtyn in her adorable costume. She did a tap dance to Shake Your Tail Feather.

Lainy and Megan in their duet costume. Lainy changed before I could get her picutre taken in her other costumes.
Tylar and Ashy in their costumes.

Sorry for the long video!!

K after I went back and checked to make sure that cute video of Collyn worked, I realized it was very long. I was just so excited that it worked. :)

Sweet and Sassy

Lainy's dance teacher Misty (who's the best) took her class up to Sweet and Sassy because they won the 6 foot trophy (even though they had to rechoreograph their dance due to a missing child) for those of you that don't know it is a salon for little girls they do your hair, makeup and hair. Tylar got to go also and here is some cute video of them together. (I hope)

So computer dumb :)

K I haven't posted for a while-reason- plain and simple I'm too dumb for this type of technology. I went and bought a new camcorder because (if you haven't heard) Trin is gone and has been for about a month and has another month left before he comes home (Surprise surprise). He is missing out on alot of the kids end of school year activities and I thought it would be fun for him to jump on our blog and watch some videos. Maybe that way he wouldn't be so homesick. Well what was I thinking I can't get the dumb movies to download onto the blog. So if any of you smart people out there have any advise I would love to hear it.
