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.

Richard & Becky Ruff Visit!

Although I know a lot of people that look at this blog are family and probably don’t know Richard & Becky Ruff, Richard has been my best friend since 3rd grade.  We really enjoyed seeing them and hope they got home OK.  I thought I’d post a couple of pictures from the get-together.

A Day At The Pool

Hey All,

We thought you might like to see a couple of pictures of our family at the pool.  After spending a long day with mommy and daddy looking at power tools, plants, and sheds, we decided to give the kids a break and take them to the pool.

And a couple more!

Some more photos

I was sorting through all of our pictures, trying to get rid of duplicates, etc... and I realized we've got some pretty cute kids. So, I thought I'd post a few cute photos. I can only upload 4 at a time, so I'm going to make a couple of posts.

We are not dead.

I know some of you may be wondering if we are dead. (That is if you even noticed we have been MIA in the blogging world.) We are alive and at times well. Just haven't been up to updating things. A lot of exciting things have happened the last month or so. I went to Wicked with my mom, niece, and two sisters. It was AWESOME! Mike took the kids on 2 fathers and sons camp outs, and Mike and I both had birthdays. I know those are all awesome things and each one should have had its own blog entry. Well sorry, but I guess I will just have to take partial credit for mentioning it now. Hopefully one of these days we will be back to full scale blogging with pictures and all, but for now take what you can get. ;o)
