Tyler is in the double digits!!

Tyler turned 10!!! He's now in the double digits and loving it!! We threw a pool party for him a couple of weeks ago, right after his football game. (which they won by the way!! Tyler scored 4 touchdowns!!) Our good friends let us have it at their home. They have a huge yard with a zip line and tramp.





The boys played a little football while waiting for the rest of their friends to arrive.



It was about 55-60 degrees that day. But, the pool was heated to 90 degrees! The boys had a ton of fun jumping and playing in the warm water.



We served hot dogs , cheeseburgers, drinks, chips and other delicious, non-healthy food.








Even this little guy ate a cheese burger!

Pops was in town! He helped manning the grill.



All the boys ended up in the Jacuzzi. Like I said, it was super cold!



Tyler had 12 friends and also his brothers there to share in this extra special day. Tyler is such a great kid. He is super athletic, smart and will try anything. He is also a tender hearted kid and loves to snuggle with me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER!!!!!!!!!!

Pool Day!

 One of my neighbor's has a pool and kindly opens it up once a week for the neighborhood families during the summer! We've now been a few times, but here are some shots of our first plunge! They have a diving board and a slide! So much fun!

 Will learned how to do a back dive!

THANKS Chris and family for allowing us to take over your backyard! It was a lot of fun, as always!!

Las Vegas

When we drove out of Santa Barbara we headed straight for Vegas baby! We love, love visiting that place. We have some great friends, some family, and lots of places we enjoy taking the kids to. This trip was a super quick one though. We pulled in around 6pm and headed straight for the pool. The resort is fun to stay at because it has a kiddy pool area, a lazy river, a regular pool, several huge Jacuzzi....We always have a blast there. We put the kiddos to bed and headed out on a double date with Paul and Laura, Scott's younger brother. Like always, we had a blast with them. The next morning we invited them and their 4 kids to join us one more time to hang out and play in the pool with us.

The kids, and I include Scott and Paul, we splashin' around having a great time. Cute Seth wearing baby Preston's hat.

The playing became wrestling time in the kiddy pool.

Cute Isabell watching how wild all the boys are, especially the dads! Laura and baby Preston chillin' in the water.

Here's Paul teaching the kids to jump like a frog out of the water. It was so funny to watch. More wrestling...

It was fun to be with such great company on a hot summer day splashing in the cool pools. THANKS for joining us Thompson's! We love you!!

Cool Pool!

On of the doctor's Scott use to work for invited us over for a BBQ ans to play in their pool. They had it custom made, and it was so much fun! Gavin, Brigham, Scott and I went while the big boys were in Santa Barbara. The Butterfield's are a great family. THANKS for such a wonderful time!

Scott taking Gavin down. Then Brig's. Both boys ended going down the slide by themselves. I even went down several times. It was fast and fun!

After swimming for several hours we had a bbq. Here is Gavin eating his cheese burger over by the playground.

Brigham kept stealing Scott's and taking bites.
