Scouts

Last week we had a police officer come and talk with the boys about safety but the time I remembered to pull out ny camera half of the boys had gone home and the car ride around the parking lot was over. Oh, well.

This is how Karley keeps were self busy during scouts. She plays with all the babies that come.

A few weeks ago was the rain gutter races. Caden decided to race Jacob's boat for him (since Jacob had a baseball game that night that only nine player were at so he couldn't leave.) I brought Jakes boat in thrid place. Way to go kid!!!

Ya, it took more then just a lot of hot air to get the boat to float just right. You can see Caden's boat start to tip here because he isn't blowing just right.

Scouts is almost over and while I am so excited to have the summer off I can't believe the year went by so fast.

Crazy little thing called life!!!

Just after spring break our family went out to Indio CA (Palm Springs area.) We went to the Stagecoach festival. The stagecoach festival is a weekend long multi singer concert. Colby got some tickets from a friend so we took the family and had a great time. We combined our wanting to go camping trip along with it. I will admit I was a littl hesatant at first about combining the two activities. We found a great camp ground with a lake and pool and it made the trip wonderful. Karley, Caden, Mom and Jake headed to the lake.

Waiting for Brad Paisley's concert to start

The gang chillin at the festival.

Hanging out in the tent. We had so much fun playing games and wrestling.

Yes, even at a loud, crouded concert a two year old needs her afternoon nap. I took Karley on a walk to find a less crouded and shady stage so that Karley could take a nap they just happened to have bails of hay to lay her on when she fell asleep.

Jacob, Karley and Caden rockn out to Reba MacIntyre. This happened to be one of the highlights of the concert for my boys. Believe it or not my boys love her.

The lake was great until Jacob and Caden noticed that there were several bees that were in the water almost dead. They decided to start a rescue mission and just as I took this picture Jacob got the first bee sting followed by Caden's bee sting only moments later. (I told them it would happen.) This was the low point of the trip. Besides this the trip was sooooo much fun!

More hangin out listening to country music.

I have to sat my kids are so lucky I was about 17 or 18 before I went to my first concert. These guys got a whole weekend of fun and soooo many artist I can't even remember who was all there.

I just thought this was so cute I had to put it in.

This had nothing to do with the festival but I thought it was a cute cousin picture so here it is.

I love that in this picture I have nephews from both sides of our family and they are having a great time together. Caden, Brock(Colby's brother's son) Drew (my brother's son)

The Rest of Spring Break

Beach day with Cousins L TO R Devin, Dallin the whole gang at the beach

Swimming at grandma's pool

Grandpa took the kids to the bishop's store house to teach them about what happens there. (Everyone gathered in the freezer)

Jacob and Caden gathering eggs at the egg hunt.

The priest/Laurels in our stake went to General Conference

and I got to go with them. They were such good kids during

the trip.

No, I would never tell the girls to go stand by the guy giving out free hugs so that I could take there picture.

Spring Break is here!

Our spring break has already started but has been so full of activities already. Saturday was The start of the baseball season and so far the boys are loving it.

With five baseball games in a week Karley is getting a lot of swinging time at the park next to the baseball field.

This is how Karley passes the time while her brothers are playing baseball.

(You know you have been watching too much baseball when a two year old is playing babies and tells them to " bringm in boys!!")

On Monday I took the kids to get there pictures taken. As a reward for "such a hard job" and for good report cards, we went to chuck-e-cheese for lunch. I didn't think Karley was going to spend many of the tokens that we had, boy was I wrong! She rode Bob the Builder and Barney rides for at least fifteen minutes straight. She would even steal her brothers' tokens and quick put them into the machine before they could get them back.

For Scout this week we had a bike rodeo pack meeting. The boys had a great time riding.

On Friday, since we had no baseball games we went to the LA Zoo. It was a beautiful day. LT to RT: Grandma Fox, Mat, Karley, Siena, and Drew all looking at an alligator.

Jacob, Caden and Caden's best friend Brian looking at the gariffe.

Lt to Rt Front row: Amy, Cody, Ryan and Mat Back row: Drew, Siena, Jacob, Caden, Brian and Karely We had to get a picture of all the kids just as we were leaving the zoo!!

Jacob and Caden are both on undefeated baseball teams and on Saturday they both faced there biggest compatition. Both did great! Jacob made a great slide in to up his teams score. If it weren't for the fact the pitcher didn't have the ball Jake would have been out.

Caden hit a homerun in this game. Way to go dude!!!! Both boys are still undefeated!!!

11 years ago!!!!
