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.

8 months old!

Our little Rylee is growing up so fast. She weighs over 19 pounds and eats alot. She gets really upset when she eats all of her food. Rylee still does not crawl but she can roll over and get back to sitting position from her tummy. She just started that today. She is working on the whole crawling thing but just can't seem to get the hang of it. I am actually okay with this. One less child to keep out of my things, but not for long. I love Rylee so much. She adds a bit of sweetness to our family. The boys can't seem to get enough of her. Just hanging out in her carseat!

She loves to sit up!

What? 7 months already?

Rylee at 7 months. We love you baby girl!

Cousins at war!

It never fails! You put Kenadee and Corey in the same room, they will be fighting in a matter of minutes. Yet they get excited to see one another. Go figure. I just couldn't resist taking some pictures of these two. I got to watch Kenadee for 15-20 minutes the other day. I got my camera ready. I didn't encourage this, I just knew it was going to happen. So here is the love they share for one another. Usually there is some hitting and pushing going on, but these will have to do.



Fighting over the same toy!
Kenadee pulling Corey's shirt trying to get the toy.

This is what happens when Corey and Kenadee play together. Someone wants something and they want it now, someone has to tease someone, and then they begin to hit and push until someone starts to cry.

They end up in time out! This time just happened to be Kendaee's turn. Sorry Ken.

Then they hug and make up.

But this sweet moment only lasts for about......... a moment. what can you do?
