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!!!!
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.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.
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!
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!
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.
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. 
We were headed for a walk tonight when it started raining. Of coarse the kids ran out and started running through the puddles. As you can see Collyn thought it was great. We couldn't get Ashtyn out of the garage. Apparently there was a dog out. All of the sudden she is scared to death of them.
Forj the 24th of July the Jacobsens came over for a BBQ and a few fireworks. (They are so expensive) It was a great time and the kids had a blast.
