Summer swim lessons

The kids did swim lesson this summer, I had them both do 2 sessions just to be safe! Tannon was super good and she probably could have just done 1 session but I thought it be something she could do during the summer to keep her from getting to bored and it doesn't hurt to get extra practice. Barrett was pretty tough the first session he just cried every turn he had but the second session was much better.

Tannon really surprised me because last summer she hated swim lessons but this summer she was loving the water she was like a little fish.

You can tell by Barretts face that he is not happy. Barrett hates the water and when we would go swimming at our friends before lessons he won't even go near the water. During his lessons he would refused to kick his feet or do anything for the first couple of days but everyday got better and better and he actually has become quite the dare devil with water when we go swimming at our friends house, he will just jump in if your not watching, I think I prefer him to hate the water cause now I have to watch him like a hawk:)

Cabin Trip with Friends

So as soon as David got out of school for the summer we planned a cabin trip with Brett and Janeal to make up for the last cabin trip we tried to have. I have to say this one went a lot better, we had tonz of fun!

One of the days we were up there we went bowling in Show low, which was a lot of fun, of course I stink at bowling but we had lots of laughs.

When you tell Barrett to smile and he doesn't really feel like it, this is normally what the smile looks like, he is so funny!

Brett and Janeal

David getting ready to help Tannon on her turn.

We also brought the wii up, which was fun. It took forever to get the boys to do Just Dance but when they finally did it, they rocked it!

Going Shooting is always a most when we go to the cabin. Before we went shooting we went to the dollar store and got some cheap and fun things to shoot at for targets.

We also went to a near by lake and had a picnic and walked down the lake, we saw some kids skipping rocks and thought we would give it a try, so we tried to see who could get it to skip the farthest and I wasn't so good at that, mine just sunk.

And last put not least we bought this puzzle the first time we went to the cabin with Brett and Janeal but we of course didnt get to finish it so we were able to finish it this cabin trip so we had to get a picture with it. I hadn't done a puzzle in years and it was a lot of fun and very addicting.

It was a really fun and relaxing cabin trip and we are so lucky to have friends like Brett and Janeal they are always so fun to hangout with.

Peters Graduation

My Brother in law Peter graduated from ASU this last May and Tannon and I were able to go and watch the ceremony. In the picture is Peter with Tannon and Krew. What an awesome accomplishment!

25th Birthday

Yes I know my birthday was in May and its September but better late then never, right! I have a lot of catching up to do, so please bare with me!

My Birthday was awesome as always. My brother Daniel made me an ice cream pie and it was to die for, Mint and Oreo my favorite! My Family sure did spoil me and I got a lot of fun things! I am so thankful to have family and friends in my life, they are truly the greatest gift.

Easter 2011

Easter morning the kids finding their Easter baskets. You can tell they were both still tired, we have early church so we had to wake up a bit early.

The kids in their Sunday Easter outfits. They are so cute!

My parents did a Easter hunt for the kids. So here are the kids taking off!

Barrett looks so excited!

Looking for eggs! Barrett was just picking up any egg but Tannon was looking for the money eggs, what a smart girl.
.

Tannon asked me to take this picture, she said "Mom take a picture of me posing to pick up this egg?" She is too funny!

Barrett got bored after a bit and just sat in the sand box and started opening his eggs to eat the candy. We had our friends Brett and Janeal join us for Easter at my parents too, we had a lot of fun. We had yummy food and played volleyball, egg toss, balloon toss and other outside games. I love spending time with family and friends.

Zoo field trip

Towards the end of the school year Tannon's class took a field trip to the Wild life zoo. I had been wanting to take the kids, so it was fun to go finally. Tannon wanted to invite her Grandma's and she was excited they could come. Uncle Christopher was on break from school and he was able to come too!

All the kids in her class!

Aunt Stephanie and Krew were able to come too!

Looking at the animals

Mrs. Carrie and the kids in Tannon's class.

It was so crazy that there was just one rope between you and the Kangaroos.

There was a baby bobcat, it was so cute!

Here is a baby lion too!

The white tiger was my favorite, they are so beautiful.

So my camera died right at the beginning of the day so these are all the pictures I took. The zoo was so much fun! Tannon got to ride on some rides and feed the giraffes, the giraffes lick the food right out of your hands which is pretty crazy. We had lots of fun.

Service Project

A couple of months ago, I want to say about March sometime, my brother was down from school and he wanted to do a service project so he found this lady that was putting together an exhibit at a farm and needed lots of trees and bushes planted for it, so I thought I would be a nice sister and help him out, we had a lot of fun but hard work digging holes, plus I learned a lot about taking care of plants in Arizona and the correct way to plant them. Also you always feel good doing service for others.
