Pizza Party

Tonight Jason took us out to this fun yummy Pizza place

There were some game machines there with exciting looking prizes inside

Maddox decided the best way to get those prizes

 was to simply climb in and get them!

that boy makes me laugh!

Library time

We took Ryder to the Library for his first out-of the-house experience

Ryder is in the snuggly sling thing Jamie is wearing

 the kids got their Summer Reading prizes

Jamie survived her first public appearance with four children just great!

fun together

The kids have had so much fun playing together

doing crafts

playing dress-up

Jayden chose to not be in the fashion show, he would rather play on the itouch

Maddox and his trucks 

Jayden in the hut they built 

Maddox wanting to get into that hut

(this pic makes me laugh because Maddox is usually so mild-mannered)

Kylie is such a good big sister to help take care of little Ryder

slumber party

A week old!

sweet Ryder is one week old today!

I love these adorable pictures Jamie took of him!

(thanks for letting me use your pictures here)

Mesquite Groves Pool

Jason took the kids to this fun pool for the day

(and was nice enough to take these cute pictures for me)

They had a great time, thanks Jason!

Family Home Evening

Family Home Evening began with the boys leading the music

Then the girls taught the lesson,

it was on being thankful towards others.

They also made a 'Thankful Hat' for each of us to take turns wearing,

and we would say something we are thankful for about the person wearing the hat. 

I am thankful knowing that all my children, wherever they are, 

have Family Home Evening with their children!

Chalk fun and a lizzard

Jamie made some liquid chalk for the kids to paint outside with.

As I took the picture Jayci jumped up

 because she saw a lizard run up the wall

 Once it was too high to reach, they went back to their artwork
