Found Dallin with the camera....

These are SOME of the pics that Dallin took while having a little too much fun with the camera. Notice that some of these pictures are upside down=) Guess he doesnt know how to hold the camera the right way. He is so funny.

This is my favorite one. He caught corey in the act of coloring on the wall. No denying this one Corey. Good job Dallin, thanks for taking this picture.

Rylee got her ears pierced!

I have been wanting to do this for a long time and finally made the move. Yes Rylee cried, but she got over it VERY fast. I am sure there are those of you out there who think I am mean or what ever but oh well, she is loved and well taken care of.

Some pics of the kids.

Going bact to school!

So Boyd and Dallin go back to school on the 24th of Aug. and Corey gets to go to school for the first time. Thank Heavens! I need a break from that little stinker. He starts on Sept. 9th. That will leave Rylee and I at home alone! Can you hear my shouts of joy? The kids are still out of school so it is easy for me to feel this way right now. I am so happy to finally be able to spend some time with just my little girl. How many days do I have until they start school? I know SOME day I will miss the day when they are running around the house screaming, fighting, and making messes, but right now I just look forward to school starting.

Some Birthday pics

Some random pics since my last post.

We have been so busy the last couple of months so here are some pics of what has been going on.

The boys played some baseball. They all seemed to have a lot of fun.

Rylee discovered the buttons in the tv and dvr.

Boyd with his new cousin Kambree. She is a mini Kenadee.

Dallin in the orange shirt. This was his kindergarten program. He made it through and is now off to 1st grade. Good luck 1st grade teacher.

Corey's eardrums perforated again. Both eardrums this time. I took him to the ENT and she agreed with me that it is time to get tubes in again and take out the adenoids. My poor baby. He goes in tomorrow for surgery. I will feel much better, and so will he, when it is all over and we can take him home.

Boyd's Utah sand castle.

We had no money and the kids were bored so we went to the park and made some Utah sand castles.

Boyd's Utah sand castle.

Corey is sad because he had trouble making his Utah sand castle.




My Utah sand castle resort.

Corey smashing my Utah sand castle resort! That's what boys are made to do, right?

Corey's 4th Birthday Party

On our way! Corey was so excited that he fell asleep. Rylee, ready to go.

Dallin and Boyd, being silly.

Dad putting the last of the things in the car for our tail gate party.

And mom!

We had a tail gate pizza party before we went into the Dino Museum

Maile, Grandma Nikki, and Emma (in the stroller).

Our tour guide giving us some rules before we go in. Good luck with rules when you have 11 kids running around. Actually our tour guide was great and got the kids to listen to almost everything he had to say.

Saying hi to a real Paleontologist (sp?)

Checking out the dinosaurs.

Hanging out while the kids played in the dinosaur sand area.

Colon Boys with the Colon girls.

The kids playing with the dinosaurs.

Corey and Cousin Darby.

Trying to get the kids to pose for a picture. Not going so well.

Corey with some of his cousins. Love the look on Corey's and Dakota's face.

Digging in the sand pit.

Making a dinosaur mold. Corey with our tour guide Taylor. He was so great with the kids.

Corey is now ready for cake and presents!

They made this cool cake for Corey and it was really big and good. This picture does not do justice.

We were there for about 2 hours and some. That was just the right amount of time. All the kids were ready for cake and the drive home. We had a great day. Thanks for being in our family Corey. We love you so much buddy. Happy 4th Birthday.
