One last Hoo-Rah!

 Instead of doing friend birthday parties this summer (since everyone's birthdays are all within a day), we took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge.  This is the hotel room...so fun!
 Mark was on Wyatt duty,
 and then Bailey took over.
 Here is everyone, all ready to tackle the waterslides.
 All the slides and water were indoors.  It was the perfect place to have a newborn.
 I didn't get any pictures of Parker, Kasidee or Addison in the park because they were off together, non-stop waterslides!!!
 
 Wyatt was telling Mark a story...
Little (ok so not so little) dude in his swimsuit. 
 
This was a really fun fast trip.  I would definitely go back!

Girl's Night In



 Mark had a scout campout, and he took Parker with him.  So obviously we had to have a fun girl's night!!!  We swam, did nails, and watched a movie with popcorn and treats...lots of treats!!!


First Bath...NOT A FAN!!!

Family Pictures

 Getting everyone to look at the camera and smile should be getting easier as they get older...
 Nope...they were little pills!  I was very pleasantly surprised to see that the girl taking the pictures was able to get some good ones!  Thanks Brooke!!!
 
 
 
 Kasidee...10 yrs. old, double digits, starting 4th grade...holy cow, where has the time gone!
 Bailey...5 yrs. old, starting kindergarten this year, I'm losing my big helper...tears.
 Addison...6 going on 16!!!  This girlie has been my peacemaker this summer, making sure everyone is included and having fun.
 This handsome guy is 10!!!  He loves to tease and cause havoc with his sisters, but at the end of the day, Parker just wants to be a part of whatever they are doing.
 Reilynn...3 years old...Not sure she wants to give up being the baby of the family status. But she loves her little brother so much she doesn't mind.
 Little Wyatt has been so much fun!  He hasn't been the easiest baby we've ever had...he is actually kind of a stinker.  Luckily, we have lots of willing hands who don't mind his fussiness, and love him anyway.


The End.

Good Helpers







Floor it!

The golf cart has been so fun this summer!  I love that the kids can all pile on at the same time (And they can do it all by themselves!)!!!








We enjoyed Grandpa and Grandma

 My mom just retired from her job, so my parents were able to come and stay for 2 weeks when Wyatt was born.
 I don't think I have enjoyed a visit from my parents more than I enjoyed having them this time...
 The kids thoroughly enjoyed them too!!!
 My dad even had a remote controlled airplane mailed to our house here to put together and fly while he was here.  The kids had fun chasing after the fallen planes and driving the golf cart to different places to fly.
 Of course, the pool was a big hit.  Many hours were spent in the water!

 
 

 
 "If mom says no, ask grandma!"


 
 Reilynn found the winter beanies and was playing a game with Grandpa...
 
 Parker and Kasidee flew home with Grandpa and Grandma to Utah for a week.  They rode motor cycles, went to a family reunion, went on a house boat on Lake Powell, and stayed up WAY past their bedtime every night....thanks mom and dad for giving them so many fun memories!
