Denver trip Aug 2010

Here is everybody that was at my Great Grandma's 100th Birthday, (Ty, me and the boys are all in orange) my Dad is on one knee on the left with my Mom right behind him, and my brother is in the very back row center in a green shirt. In the pic on the right, is the 5 generation pic, My Great Grandmother is in the chair, my Grandma Pat is is standing behind her, then my Dad top right, me and then my boys! How cool is that! (don't you love the look on my face!.. classic!)

Here is my Moms side of the family, My grandma, my mom, me and then the boys! The pic on the right is just (from my parents down) us at the national history museum (minus my Dad who is taking the picture)
The following pictures are from the wrestling match that occurred in the food court at the Museum... Just love my boys!



Here we are at the Museam of Natural History, The kids loved the fossils, Cameron kept walking up to stuff and holding his arms like Vanna White and saying "look at this!" Here is Mom, me and Kevin, we had a blast! and the kids traveled great!

Summer time!

We have enjoyed summer to say the least... We had swim lessons, and going to the drive-in hitting the Hagermans fossil museum, and the National fish hatchery.. lots of fun!

Here are the boys in the back of the van waiting for the movie to start, it was a double feature, Despicable me and Toy Story 3~

SWIM LESSONS~ We went as a family again, Kevin in the big boy class and me and Tyler with Cameron in the tadpoles class... last year of enjoying "family swim lessons" sniff, sniff!

the first time he needed help, the second time, he needed no help, he did it himself!

Kevin jumping off, never got a good picture of him in the air, but he did jump on his own! (they made them wear life jackets because of previous accidents)

Plus the the 8th of August was my great grandmothers 100th birthday, so we headed to Denver for the party! My cousins amazing wife sent this picture she caught of us, Now I am trying to get the rest from my Dad, my kids are her 5th generation so we got some pics of that!

The Garden

We have been enjoying the ease of gardening this year, with an automatic watering system and 1/3 of the garden in grow boxes life is easy! Take a look!

Here are the roma tomatoes along with carrots and some herbs...

Here are the pumkins sprawling across the front with cucumbers and cantaloupe growing up the trellis' in back.

The corn.. tall and beautiful this year...

Plus we have invited some fun friends to our garden.. SEE~

Ok, I'll zoom in for you! Here he is just chillin on a pumpkin leaf, the boys just love going out to see where he is hangin out!

This year is the first year the kids are big enough to really get the garden, Kevin climes the fence every time he wants a tomato, goes and finds a red one and asks me to cut it up for him! Cameron's favorite are the cucumbers, and they both are waiting patiently for the corn to be ready so we can eat it for a month strait!

It sure has been a great year, we have been enjoying lots of good bugs which means fewer bad bugs!

Thought I would share this with you...

I laughed pretty hard...
