Camping

My kids are sure that they would love to live on the mountian. We have spent the last two weekends on the mountian. The kids ride thier 4-wheelers and get as dirty as possible. It's a great time and wouldn't miss it for the world.

Crabs!

So, Grandma and Papa H took the kids to Paiute Reservoir, but missed Scott and Candace, but they ended up going to thier house where they gave our kids Crawfish! Which our kids call "crabs". They were so excited to put them in a jar and wait for mom and dad to come home so that they could scare us so bad that we would pee our pants! ha-ha. They are pretty ugly! (the crabs of course!) Anyway they put them in a jar that was way too small and they hoped they would live through the night. Cody's didn't make it, but Sydnie's did and we had Clint take them out and put them in the pool. Well Syd and Cody thought they were hungry so in the picture you can see them trying to feed the crab a great big sucker on a stick!

Triangles!

Well, this summer Cody has had his motorcycle for about a year now. He has had training wheels on the bike, but we decided it was time for him to go with out them. He calls them his "triangles". I am not sure that he likes the fact that he doesn't have the security, but he's been doing pretty good.

Kathy's Float

This kids got to ride Kathy's float again this year. Every year they look forward to riding the float and boy they had a great time this year. Kathy had water squirters for them to play with and they sure loved the water on such a warm day. We finished off the day by watching fireworks at the Lions Park.

4th of July

We had a great 4th! We spent the night of the 3rd in Aurora and went down to the park to watch fireworks with my family. Grandpa Allen let ALL the Grandkids ride down in his restored jeep. They all thought it was so great - the fireworks weren't too bad either.

Our Camping trip to the UM

So we've been camping a few times and the kids Love it! They tell us that they want to live there. haha. We camped next to this watering hole for cows that usually dries up before summer hits. Coday and Sydnie thought that there was fish in there for sure! So they spent a lot of time fishing. It was really funny when the cows came in to have a drink and the kids were pretty upset that the cows were drinking thier fish! It was too funny :)

Cody's Birthday!!! 6 Years old

So, Cody's 6th Birthday party was a Blast. I rented a water slide and a slip and slide and the kids had a great time! All the Cousins were there and Cody had a wonderful time. I think he was so excited that he couldn't stand himself. It was a great day and we are so glad we have our little man in our lives.
