Best Birthday Party ever!

The 18th was my niece Abbie's birthday, and it was so much fun! Her mom & dad got a really fun blow up water-slide, and the kids LOVED it! All but Bailey of course, she was a little chicken. It is funny to me when she's afraid of things, because she's usually my dare-devil.
Here is our cousin Courtnie--she is great at posing for pictures--since as long as I can remember. We took several to get it just right!
I finally got an action shot of Tyler to really work, he was always going to fast, and my camera takes too dang long to take a picture.
Here's Abbie blowing out the candles. Her cake was a beautiful Ice Cream cake from Cold Stone-she know's the owners ;)
Someone "helped" Kyle into the little car, and he loved it--until it came time to get out that is. He has started a really funny scream when people (mainly the other kids) are messing with him and he doesn't like it. He's learning to stick up for himself really early.

Cousins!!!

My sister Amie has been in town for her sons football camp at BYU, and we have been having soo much fun. We spent 2 solid days out back in the pool. This makes me wish we'd gotten a bigger onoe, but this one is safe when it's just my crazies! This was so cute, the all put chairs around and just had their feet in--so grown up.
Make a funny face!
Kyle and Parker heading up the stairs. It's fun that they are so close in age!
Gotta love when the kids get ahold of the camera. Here's Abbie making a face for the camera.
Now Tyler's turn.

My Dad is Better than Yours!!!

A couple of weeks ago I was at the mall, and I entered Mike into a contest called "My dad is better than yours" I forgot all about it, until Friday they called & said he was picked! We were planning on heading up to Idaho to visit my parents who just moved up there, so we put that off by a few hours and it was worth it--because he won!! It was fun to watch--they had to shoot baskets with a little nerf basketball, and shoot nerf darts at a target, take downa tent, hammer in some nails, ride a Trike--and the fastest time won. He won an awesome Little Giant ladder system. Yeah for Dad!
