Kinsee's 7th Birthday Party

I know her birthday was in April, but better late than never I guess. She had a webkinz party. We had games set up to win kinz-cash and a store to buy prizes with the money they won.

This is one of Kinsee's best friends...Raegan.

Pinata fun. Notice we had to do it inside the garage because it was too freezing outside!

More friends and fun presents.

More party pics...

The lion cake...it all had to be animals.

Sam drew these for Kinsee and her friends...kind of like pin the tail on the donkey

...I think the bandaid was suppose to be on bear (Sammy probably switched them around) and the ice pack was suppose to be on the frog who has an unfortunate bump on his head

Kinsee got a new webkinz from Daniel

Happy Birthday, Luke!!!

We were lucky enough to get to go to Luke's birthday party!
He is such a great kid.

Pinata fun!

Natalie enjoyed the cake---so cute!

BBQ at St. George

Daniel and Jaxon decided to climb this wall.

I thought this was a cool picture---what a handsome boy!

Cute girls ---it was so fun to see them for the first time.

Daniel, Kinsee, and Luke---so fun to play with cousins!

St. George

We had so much fun in St. George. We were able to hang out with my so many of our extended family. I will post more pictures soon. We got to go to Luke's birthday party and hang out with Jerry and Christin and the girls, too.

Daniel and Sammy at the miniature golf course.

Benny and Sammy at the same golf course.

So fun to see everyone!

Out of Control!!!

I'm doing this for those of you who know how much I love my house to be clean. Did a tornado hit...EVERY ROOM?
It was clean on Sunday when we went to bed. That's all I know.

Yep, that's my room. Nice.

I'm not sure where to start with this one.

When the trash is full...you don't empty it. No way. You start piling trash on the counter.
What have I been thinking all these years?

Poor baby

Sammy fell and got a bloody nose.

Kind of gross (sorry) - he was tough though.

This picture makes me laugh and feel sorry for him at the same time.

So funny...

Maybe you had to be there, but at the time it was hilarious. We were sitting in the living room when Kinsee came down a few steps in her batllet suit...then Kenna came down in gymnastics suit....and then...

Sammy rounded the corner half naked (no diaper)...he had tried to put on a ballet suit like the girls,
but it wasn't working out so well for him.

And Daniel??? We are not sure what he was doing.

Only in Wyoming

It was such a beautiful day that the kids were outside without jackets...even with all the snow on the ground.

They spent most of the afternoon outside---so much fun since we've been cooped up in the freezing cold!

Random Pictures

This picture does not mean anything unless you know Joe Shumway. Joe is the master dishwasher loader (doesn't waste a bit of space anywhere) and Sam seems to think that he is taking after his father. The funny thing is I didn't take this picture...Sam took it one night when I was gone. Was he trying to show off a master piece or just prove that he does load the dishwasher once in a while?

I thought this was kind of a cool picture of Kinsee, Kenna, and friends. I'm trying to learn how to focus one thing in the picture and make the rest more blurry. Hmmm...I definately need practice.

Here is my boy hanging out in his carseat. I am feeling guilty for not posting more of my other kids. I guess there are just more opportunities to take pictures of Sammy since I'm home with him and the kids are in school.

I watched as Sammy laid out the blanket (actually the plastic table cloth I had used at enrichment the night before) and prepared the "baby" for a diaper change. He was getting ready to wipe his bum and he said," Ooo, sgusting" (disgusting). :)

Our Trip to Laramie

The kids love to slide down the stairs in the sleeping bag

Here they are in motion

Grandma is so patient with Sammy as he jumps into her a thousand times

He really could do this all day
