4th of July

We love the 4th of July!!! This year they had some new things the kids haven't done before like the bubbles. The bubbles started out white and after awhile they were brown from the dirt. We ruined Kylee's pink pair of shorts in this activity.

This is Kylee going way out of her comfort zone and participating in the pie eating contest. Way to go Kylee! Ty is right by her in the gray shirt--he actually just barely won!

This is Ty in a swimming pool trying with his bare hands to catch a fish. This was also new this year at the 4th of July.

Below is Jaimee running her race. She got up to run with her age group of girls and she was the only girl, so they had Jaimee run with the boys. And yep--she beat them all and won. Jakob was very close behind her however.

Summer Fun

Up above is Matt's creativity shining through. He hooked up a big black sled to the 4-wheeler and pulled the kids down the canal.
Abby

Matt and Jaimee getting me set up for a clothesline. I grew up hanging clothes on the line and back then didn't appreciate having to do this chore, but now I can hardly wait to have one of my own.

Kylee being a monkey on her bed. Her and Abby spend more time doing tricks and standing on their head than they do standing on their feet.

Here is Tucker at Regional Wrestling. This was held in Pocatello so we had to take advantage of the closeness of it. He lost 2 and won 1. He was in a pretty tough group. The winner of his weight was a girl from Hawaii. He never had to match up with her--to which we are very thankful.
