Jayce turns 10!!

Jayce is 10 years old! I cannot believe how fast time goes. He is such a good kid I couldn't ask for better. He is good to his sisters and helpful when I need him to be. He is so great at sports and loves to be outside like his dad. Happy Birthday Jayce!!

A squirt gun to terrorize his sisters and friends


oh no, an air soft gun from BJ and Whitney

Scout stuff from grandma

His cake: His nickname is Bob because everytime he is in a car he falls asleep and his head bobs. So he asked me if I could put Bob on his cake. It was his birthday so I obliged.

Jayce's birthday party

We took a couple of Jayce's friends bowling for his birthday party.



They played two games in the time it took us to play one with the girls.



Of course the girls were using bumper pads and the ball roller......


By the way I do NOT bowl. I am terrible. I never had the chance to go bowling with Bob....

Camping

We went camping with some of Dustin's family up Fairview canyon. Kenzie had her first toasted marshmallow


They practiced shooting the guns at a paper plate
Grandpa played baseball with Kenzie, or threw the ball at her while she stood there, or something.

We did a little fishing

This was too cute I had to take the picture.

Playing in the Pool

It has been HOT lately so the kids have been spending some time out in the pool. The funny thing is that they won't get in unless it is warm so we hook up the hose to the washer faucet in the laundry room and fill the pool.... it drains my water heater but sometimes so do I just having a shower ;)

Don't leave things where toddlers can reach them...

No words necessary. Children are curious. Watch what you leave lying around.

One on One with Grandma and Grandpa

My family came over last Sunday for lunch and family pictures (future post) and while the "Big Kids" played a rousing game of Phase 10 the little kids got some one on one time with grandma and grandpa. They were so cute I had to stop and take some pictures.



I am so glad that my children live close to both sets of grandparents and get time with them frequently as they grow up. Recently things like that have been on my mind. Our family is facing losing a loved one to the cancer battle and it makes me so glad that I have so many memories of my grandma and I cherish every moment I got to spend with her. It will be so hard to say goodbye. But at least I know it will be 'see you later'....

Haircuts

Time to get the girls hair cut.

Much easier to do both of them. Less snarls for Haylee. Happy mom. Thanks Reba.
