Tyler is Home!

Tyler came home yesterday from Iraq. He was gone for a year. We are so glad he is home safe and sound!


The kids waited and waited holding these signs. It was so cute ;]




Lynae and Melissa are behind the kids acting goofy! Maybe they stayed up too long last night! Hehehe ;o)







Scouts

Cayden and Britain had so much fun at pack meeting playing with the balloons.




Britain received his Bobcat. He was sooooo excited!


I just love how the boys put a pin on their mother's shirt collar. It makes me so proud to wear that pin showing the work my scouts (both Cayden and Britain) have done.







Helping With Wood!

Dale loves to help us with getting the wood for our wood burning stove. He's all dressed up just like Dad, ready to go!
Taking a break.
Dale was very persistant about helping Dad push the wheelbarrow.

Savannah's First Day of Preschool

Savannah went to preschool for the very first time. She says that Cayden and Britain go to the big school and she goes to the little school. She loves preschool!
Dale is at home with Dad and Mom all by himself. He didn't quite know what to think the first day, but he's getting the hang of alone time with Dad and Mom.



Dress up!

Who says you need another sister to play dress up? Savannah and Dale love playing dress up together.

Dale has to have all of the accessories, including the headband and high heels.




Britain's 8th Birthday




Britain had the special opportunity of being baptized at Martin's Cove in the Sweetwater River. We did this because his middle name is Kimball (after Stephanie's Mom's side of the family), he was born on Pioneer Day, and this is where David P. Kimball carried the saints across the ice cold river. It was a really neat experience! The spirit was so strong there. Thanks to all those family members who made the long trek for this special day in Britain's life. To those who weren't able to be there, we felt you there in spirit. We love having the support of family ;o)

Britain loved having his friends over for a summer birthday party. All the kids had fun playing water dodge ball, running through the sprinklers, and playing red rover.


















4th of July

We spent our 4th of July at the Freedom Festival Parade. We enjoyed many things in the parade, but I think the ones that stuck out to us the most were the veterans. Having Tyler serving our country in Iraq has helped us appreciate more of what these men and women are doing to allow us the freedom we enjoy in our country. Standing, clapping, and whistling only showed a small glimpse of the appreciation we have for these wonderful people!








Dale was memorized by everything! He sat there just like this for a good 10-15 minutes.



Enjoying the parade with our cousins.
