Do you like to wrestle?

It is a favorite past time at our house. (I just like to watch) Nothing like a good

mass of 7 people giggling (an eventually crying) on the rug. Why does

it ALWAYS end in crying?

If you need a wrestling fix...come on over!

Catching up, Again!

Since I am obviously not much of a Blogger here is a

small taste of how we are doing.

Movie Night!

Our favorite-Sleepout's in the living room after we watch a movie.

Vilate likes to express herself,

Aaron just sits there and takes it, what a good brother!

The St. George Ironman in May. This was the good part of the day...

After an awesome swim, 15 miles into the bike, it became really depressing.

Needless to say if you drop your water bottle in the middle of the race don't stop suddenly to pick it up- the person behind you might run into you. Dana swerved to miss the guy, but clipped him and went over. He had a four degree separation in his shoulder and had to have surgery. PT is going well and he is getting his range of motion back. Go Dana!

At the Hoover Dam.

One leg in Nevada one in Arizona!

We miss you Holbrook!

Ammon is Nine!

Vilate is four!

Joseph is eleven!

Aaron is two!

The cake picture wasn't as cute as the eating the cake picture!

We went to Philmont Scout Camp this summer! It really was an amazing experience!

We had a special treat and got to hang with the Hatch family from Holbrook while we were there. They are Awesome!

Another treat was a visit from our Favorite Holbrook Grandparents, The Webb's!

We truly miss them, it was so good to see them!

And lastly, not to bore you too much longer, school started.

Joseph is now a big 6th grader and goes to Middle School. This is one great kid! He is now in 11 year old scouts and working hard. He is helping around the house a lot and I couldn't be more happy with him!

Ammon is now in 4th grade and Mason in 2nd.

These are super good boys. Ammon is getting good at the piano and loves to be outside catching random little creatures. Mason learned to ride a bike at the beginning of the summer (poor guy, we never taught him before now) and is tough a nails.

And James is in half day Kindergarten! Yeah hoo! Poor kid, he really would like full day, he is itching to learn. The other morning (waiting for Kindergarten time) he counted to 1,000!

He likes to read too, and play games and the wii. He also just learned to ride a bike on the first day of Kindergarten!

Let the punishment fit the crime...

Since when are punishments supposed to be fun?! Aaron's brothers left their homework pencils down and he decided to do a little writing of his own....ALL over the walls. Luckily it came of pretty easily. I think he had more fun cleaning up his mess than making it.

I am sure that will change.

At least it wasn't marker like we dealt with in the carpet several months ago!

Kids! It's a good thing they are cute.

The Great Flood

What did Noah learn from the great Flood? Probably more than he wanted...WE learned to blow out our sprinklers before it freezes!

Having pumped out more than 200 gallons of water from the basement and an instant week long slumber party in my living room with four bouncing boys, I have learned way more than I wanted too!

Unfortunately in the mass confusion that ensued when we stepped in the door from Church yesterday, it slipped my mind to pull out the camera. So our memories of walking in 3 inch deep water will have to be treasured in our minds. Too bad, you might have enjoyed it!

Thank goodness for great neighbors and friends and family! We will just be blowing a lot of air for a week or so!

Poor Noah, I guess I don't have it THAT bad!

Happy New Year!
