Swimming at the Res

 Isaac and Jackson are getting to be such good swimmers. Jackson loves the water! He just runs and jumps in where ever we go and Issac is starting to be able to swim with out his life jacket.

 Anna pretty much likes to stay on the shore but she has fun in the mud.

 We met Kristi and her kids there. She was watching 4 extra kids so between the 2 of us we had 13 kids!

 The water was so nice!

Camping at Valley of Fire

This was a while back but I haven't scrapbooked it yet (this is my scrapbook). I think it was the end of April  my kids and I went out to Valley of Fire to camp over night. Josh and Wendy Jensen came out that evening for hot dogs and Ty and Tag stayed the night with us. Wendy came back the next morning and we hiked all over the rocks. My Mom came that morning too and hiked with us. The kids had so much fun. 

 It was kind of weird - the boys were all wearing blue shirts. They loved finding these little cubbies to play in.

 Got the tent set up.

 Anna and Tenley were pretty good hikers too!

 Anna just wanted to go higher and higher.

 Roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. 

 Anna was not to happy about Isaac trying to make her hold still for a picture. We are way up on high here on top of some tall rocks. Isaac and Jackson are both great climbers.

 Trying to settle down and get ready for bed. That tent is awesome we had me and 5 kids all lined up.

 The next morning when Wendy got there. She is too fun.

 Even some of the neighboring camping kids came to hike with us.

 Such a fun Grandma - she is playing peekaboo with Anna through the tunnels in the rocks.

 My handsome Jacks

 It's hard to get pictures of Isaac because he and Ty always take off on their adventures!

 Then went hiked up all the steps to Atlatl  rock and looked at the Indian writings. 

Jackson Turns 3!!

Sunday evening we had a birthday party over at my Mom for Jacksons 3rd Birthday. I can't believe my little boy turned 3!!

 Happy birhthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Jackson! Happy birthday to you!

Make a wish!

 The party begins!

I don't know why everyone likes to eat Granpas cake - maybe he's just so good at sharing.

 Opening presents! Aunt Kristi is the best Aunt ever and Jackson just loves her!

Hot Wheels truck and trailer.

 This picture is hillarious! Aunt Lauren is showing Jackson what to do with this big crazy light blinking wand thing Aunt Kristi gave him Aunt Kristi is pointing to the ceiling at the lights. I'm sure Jackson is thinking..."wow they are crazy!"  That's why we love them.

 Best seat in the house.

 Pretty girls.

Lukester runnin the place.

 This toy was quite the hit....weirdest thing ever!

 The Jensens are just part of the family and come to all our parties. We love them.

 The momma's

Jackson sure has some fun new toys to play with. Such a great little boy.

Clark County Fair Time

Once again it's time for the fair. We went on rides for about 5 hours. Last year we didn't go to the fair and the year before Jackson was barely 1 year old - so this was the first year of real rides for him and he loved it. Anna got to go on lots of the rides too. Even though she wasn't really tall enough for most of them, they still let her on a lot of them. Isaac still loves them! We had a big group of people. The Jensens, the Nelsons and the Dalleys all rode rides with us. Grandma Gaye came and helped with all the kids and even went down the HUGE slide with Anna on her lap!

 The first ride of the day - the roller coaster. Tag is in front, then Ty and then Jackson and Isaac.

 Wendy went with Jackson on this. They are waving on the bridge.

 This was Anna's first ride, I didn't know what she would do but she loved it!

Miss Allie looked so cute with her cowgirl hat on.

 I took Anna, Emma, Jackson and Isaac on the Ferris Wheel and Poor Anna and Emma were scared to death but Jackson and Isaac loved it!

 Allie and Elise

Tag and James

Dustin and Lukester

 Jacksons favorite was the motorcyles. Isaac's was the Ferris Wheel.

 Luke was such a good boy in his stroller.

 Emma Lynn and baby Matthew

 Emma was a little scared on the horse so we sat on the bench.

Anna wanted a bite of Jacksons shaved ice.

 He is such a good brother and gave her one.

We had a little break in the grass.

 Isaac is sure my good helper with all the little ones.

 I told Anna to make a funny face.

Jackson did one too. He will be 3 on Saturday!!

 Will and Uncle Dustin gettin pumped up to go on the Zipper. Such a good Uncle.

We had to stop in and see the baby piggies before we headed home.
