The $15 wagon (in video form)

So I posted a picture of this lovely wagon earlier, but this was just from the end of August. Anyway I was pulling the kids and they were loving it so I decided to get a video...well as you can tell Madi thought we needed to go even faster...so I put the camera down...turned away from the kids (my back to them) so I could run faster...and started pulling--then the thought came to me you probably should go that fast while turning--well before I slowed down the wagon had tipped and needless to say I had 2 crying children--but that didn't last too long and they still like rides in the wagon! Yes I abuse my children in a fun way!

Dancing

So one night in the end of July we decided to take some time and just mess around with the kids. Well since our kids love to dance to music, that is what we ended up doing. Anyway these are Madi's sweet dance skills. We do the bucket head thing just to keep the memory of Cory when he was a little boy (he used to wear one around on his head like a hat).

I decided to join Madi in her dancing and as you can tell by her comment at the end--that she was tired of my dancing (she wanted to do something else I guess). You may also see where she gets her sweet dance skills! Cory says that I am a loser, but he did marry me.

Olympic swimming at our house

So I know the room is a mess, but that's just the way I (or we) am. Anyway the olympics had been starting or atleast the trials for it...and Cory decided to make some fun for Madi by practicing their olympic swimming in our bed---it was almost like swimming in a pool.

Whatever it takes...

So this is the next day on our way home from taking Cody to the MTC (more than 8 hours of total driving time in about a 24 hour time period)...and Quinton was tired of being in his carseat, so I was trying to find ways to entertain him--this worked for a while. I will do whatever it takes not to hear his high pitched scream he has!

Quinton eating a chip... (June)

So I saw a video one time of a child sleeping while eating an ice cream cone (of coure the were bigger than Quinton)...and thought to myself ya right! Well...on our way to take Cody to the MTC it happened to Quinton--he was so tired and hungry (I guess) that he needed both sleep and the chip. It was so funny.

Video of Madi from March

This video is way back in March, but so funny. Madi just picked up this book and got up on the chair above Cory and started singing away. She just made up her own words and tune. It lasted quite a while. I have 2 little videos of it. I am glad she loves music, but I'm afraid singing won't be in her career in the future.

The rest of June and May

Elmer came to visit at the end of May to help Cory with track

Quinton went right to Elmer and laid his head on him!

Cory wanted a new picture of the kids to put on his desk at school--the best I could get!

Madi found Cory's old hat from when he worked at the Fossil Beds in Hagerman--she was having a little too much fun!

Such beautiful poses!

Paisley loves horses and she wanted to go for a little ride...so Madi of course did too.

She loved it! Thanks Uncle Brooks!

First sleepover at our house with Madi's cousin Skylar!

Skylar wanted her hair braided (she is asking the wrong person--I am horrible at doing hair!)--anway Madi of course needed hers done too. I tried the french braid, but I must have fat fingers or some type of uncoordination (if that's a word) when it comes to that stuff.

I got this pool from Wal-mart for the summer and the kids loved it--even when it didn't have water in it!

We went with my parents and Cody up to the South Hills for a day to go four wheeling--Madi has loved them ever since. By the way she had rode them all day and I went to put her in her carseat to go home and noticed her shoe (new shoes) looked funny--it was all misformed (melted)--so I asked her Madi was your foot hot when you were on the four wheeler--she said no...good thing she had some rubber in between!!

July and some of June

Madi and I playing with the camera!

Some say she is my twin!

Quinton loves his popsicles.

He gets a little messy though :)

We went to Oregon this summer and this is about one of the only times I remember to use my camera!

Kath and the kids--we love our grandma!

Trying to get a good picture can sometimes take a lot of effort--Elmer and Kath's quick visit.

Below are pictures right before we went to drop my brother Cody off at the MTC for his mission.

Cory, Cody and I

My siblings (Andrea, Tim, Me, Cody)

If you can't tell my mom and dad had both been crying :(

Cody and his favorite nieces and nephews--Madi and her fingers are just great!

Cody and Quinton--he just loved his uncle--sad that he probably won't remember that when he gets back :(

We went to the Hogle Zoo the day before Cody left.

Madi and Pais'

Pais' , Andrea and Madi---I believe Madi has her chees grin on!

August 2012

I know I am doing these posts backwards, but it still works! These pictures below are from August this year.

It was quiet--so I checked on the kids--they were in the wagon just playing!

Above is Madi pulling Quinton in the wagon--this entertainment can last a good amount of time--Cory told me the wagon was a waste of $15 (yardsale!), but I'm tellin you it has been well worth it!

This next group of pictures is from Bear Lake (Davis Family Reunion)
