Manessa pulling a funny face


This was after a long day at swimming lessons. LEW was ready to go home!


LEW is learning the basics.


LEW and I were just messing around. Thought it might be fun to get a picture of him in a full nelson.


Angela took the kids to an expo of some sort where there were a lot of fun things for kids to do. Her and 'Nessa decided to ride this plastic horse.


We went to the apple store at the gateway mall to get a peek at my possible graduation present. They had this open area with jets of water that sprayed out and there were a lot of kids playing. Luckily, our kids had their swimming suits on (it seems like Manessa's never comes off) and we decided to let them play. We didn't get a picture, but Ammon was staring into one of the jets and got a mouthful that he wasn't expecting. We laughed pretty hard, but had to console him. He was upset.


Here I am playing with LEW in the water.


Ammon just playing it cool.


LEW loves corn on the cob. We don't even cut it off for him anymore, he just goes at it.


mmon and Manessa helping wash the bike before our cousins ride. LEW was on the grass playing with the hose, he got pretty wet.


We had a ward campout last week. The kids had just gotten some "play" sleeping bags that they were excited to try out. We've made sure that each of us has a good warm bag, but they wanted to use their new ones. Here are Angela, Ammon, & Manessa in the tent as we get ready for bed.


We bundled LEW up really well and put him in the porta-crib with some blankets. He ended up getting cold anyway & sharing Angela's Mammoth bag. (That's what you get when you have the biggest bag :) ).


Here I am almost out. Camping is tiring!


Ammon and Manessa enjoying the ride home from camping. A DVD player in the car is the best thing ever on long trips!


HA! didn't think that we had a campsite named after us, did ya! Only in mapleton canyon.


As we were unpacking, LEW was getting the hang of this driving thing.


Since we had all of our camping gear off the top of the water barrels, I decided that we should probably do our yearly rotation. Ammon and Manessa were more than happy to climb on them while the water was chugging out.
