Will's Birthday!

Will's birthday was on vacation, so we did his cake and presents the day before we left.  

Since it was the day before and it was very last minute I just quickly made cup cakes....

 He will forever be a tractor and truck boy.....

 Hyrum, Sam, Jonah, Ethan and Noah...

 For some reason I love this picture...He was hiding as we were singing Happy Birthday!

 By the way, thanks Abe for getting my kid a real cake!  :)

Horses!

In June a good friend of ours invited us up to her cabin up in Kamas. Just a couple of us girls and our kids.  We had a blast.  The kids especially!  She had horses that the kids took turns riding all day!!!

 Ethan....he was quite the horseman.

Nate's Birthday

June...Nate's birthday!

Nate just wanted to go see a movie with friends!  Easy..peasy!

Just a random picture...Cody, Luke, Blake and Nate....

 We literally had the theater to ourselves.  The boys thought that was so cool!  We were seeing the Avengers (me for the 4th time)

 Lukey in the box.....Little Luke Allen was in that box!!!!

Random picture of the day ...Ethan and Jake made hammocks in my neighbor's tree. 

Random May and June

Random days in May and June.....Nate got the Altara school award....such a good student!

 

 Emery performed on the piano in the mall...

 

Nate and Emery had a spring recital....they both did very well.  This was Nate's first one.  He was so nervous.

 Ethan...hmm where to begin...LOL

 He wanted to put the watermelon on his head like a helmet?  Strange child.

 And we got Cowabunga Bay season passes this year!  So we will be spending a lot of time here!!

Ethan, Jake, Luke and Ty

 

Emery and Will....

Emery's Birthday

Yep so my little girl is 11!! 

I surprised her and pulled her out of school to get her ears pierced!  She was so excited!!  I also took her out to lunch.

 Then, that night we gave her her gifts and had cupcakes just for the family...(Dad's favorite kind)

 The only thing she really wanted was a Green Bay Packers jersey and her favorite player is Clay Matthews.  And if you've seen Emery in the last 4 months, you know, she LOVES it! 

 On Friday, she had a late over 80's birthday party with all her friends.

Pac Man Cake......

 Dressing the part.....

 Girls just wanna....

 Shrinky Dinks......

 Twister.....

 Dance party to the 80's tunes.....Followed by a music video staring the girls....

 They had the most fun watching the shrinky dinks....

Catch-up

Wow so it has been a very long time.  So quickly I will recap our spring and summer.

Back in April, Nate had a school program....he was in the square dance. And what a cute little cowboy he makes. 

 Easter.....Ethan and Emery...typical Ethan..

 Nate and Will....

 Easter morning...primary lesson in the background.

 Also in April, Grandpa's birthday...We made a picture card for him since Grandma and Grandpa are on a mission at the London temple.  We sure miss them......

 Crazy picture...(notice Nate has an A+ and Ethan has a D-  hmmm....sound familiar?)
