Birthdays

Brynley our sweetheart turned 2 years old this year. She is the happiest girl and loves to laugh and play. The other day Tim said to me, "What would we do without her in our family". It is so true everyone loves Brynley. Because she is just turning 2 we just had a birthday cake and presents for her. She had so much fun!!!

Tyler turned 14 this year!!! His birthday was on July 22. We had a surprise party for him, it was so much fun!! We invited a bunch of his friends and had a paintball war. They all had so much fun being shot and shooting each other. Then because they were so hot from all of their layers they went swimming at Auntie Sherry's house. Then we went home, had cake and ice cream, watched a movie and ate dinner. We had such a blast and as you will see in the picture, Tyler was definately surprised. (I uploaded the pictures backwards and don't know how to switch them around-- so just know that they are backwards as far as timeline)

Tyler also got his learners permit 2 days after his Birthday. He is so excited and is a fairly good driver. Although I must say there have been a few times when I have been worried for my life!!! I guess that's why they call it a LEARNERS.

Kleskun Hills and Haircuts

We had such a grand adventure yesterday. We packed up a lunch and headed to the hills. Kleskun hills. They are about 30 min. from our house, and Tyler got to drive us there. As you can see in the pictures they were these big hills that the kids could climb. They were like mountain goats climbing up and down.

And of course, Brynley was up and down just as much as anyone else. She was such a trooper, and of course wanted to do it all by herself.

I love this next picture of Ty and Bryn. She loves her big brother and he is so good with her.

The boys decided they wanted to have buzz haircuts. So out came the buzzers and this is the result. Of course Ethan is too cool in his cut and glasses.

We had a grand

We love Summer!!

Summer is finally here and we are loving it. The kids don't officially get out of school until June 25th. They are hating that. I am too because I love to have the kids home. Only 5 more days left!! The other day we went to a park close by and had some fun as a family.

This picture kills me because when Tim saw this sign he had second thoughts about playing here!! Also notice how tall Ty is compared to Tim. Yup he is growing!! Yikes!!

This is just cute and I had to add it in.

This is in our yard and Kinsey decided she wanted to be a tree. She is trying to become one with nature!

We are, I mean I am loving the heat. The hottest it has gotten is about 90* Farenheit. But we have no A/C in the house and Tim is wilting. I love it!! He comes home from work and asks, "aren't you hot?" and I just smile and say, "no, it feels so good"! I would always freeze in our house in Utah because he would have the A/C on 24/7.

May in Canada

I was just looking at my cousins blog who lives in Taylorsville and I saw her beautiful flowers and yard and it made me long for Utah. This is what my yard looked like just three days ago. We woke up to this!!! Our nephew who just moved here from Utah too said that it felt like he hibernated through summer and woke up to winter!!!

I love this!

One of Tim's friends had this on his facebook page and I love it. Jon Schmidt is amazing. Take a listen.

Good Times

Brynley's favorite thing to do now is to get the camera tri-pod and set it up in front of everyone and say CHEESE!!

This is us girls one Sunday before naptime- it really shows on Bryn's face.

It's finally getting warmer here. Really not warm enough for shorts yet-- but try to tell the kids that. We had a jump war to see who could jump from bum to knee's to back the longest. The next few pictures are of each of us.

For Tim we played crack the egg. We all laughed and had such a fun time!!

This last picture is of our bon fire to burn all the garbage that the last owners left. Tim loved it!! It took all day--plus a few more-- for it to burn all the way out.

We are really enjoying it here. We have our ups and downs but overall we are so HAPPY!
