Trying to get everyone for a group picture is next to impossible...

Great! Now where's Drew?...

Of course... he is getting ready to crash in on them.

Tyler and his mom, what a cute moment. I just couldn't pass it up.

The bracelet kit that caused such chaos.

We are so lucky to live by both Grandmas! They are really involved in our kids lives and we wouldn't have it anyother way!!!

Time for some Good 'ol fashioned Red Rover.

Do ya think Ava really broke through or did Drew play Mr. Nice guy again....? Ya see I know he really does love her.

We have the best park and swimming pool ever.

Yummy cup cakes.

This was a fun bunch of kids! Watch out K Town, this is your up and coming Hot shots.

"Who me?" "Of course, Who else?" What a little "ham"

The kids spotted Tyler and they all ran over to him. Drew yelling all the way "I love you dad"

Grandma Hafen joined us at the park for some major party time.

Grandma Carol came to see the kids in action.

Don't laugh...it's not that I like this picture of me. I don't! I just never get to put myself in here.

Time to dry off.

Jaylyn came over to wish Ella a Happy Birthday. Everytime they see eachother they give a Great big hug.

Maya had a ball in the water! That would be Ava in the back swimming laps around the lazy river.

She crawls out until she can not touch anymore and then her bum starts to float up above her head. We may have a few Dara Torres olympic swimmers on our hands.

The birthday party crew.

Ava and her floaties, she thinks she can swim the ocean in these things.

Drew thought that Ella's new vest was a life jacket.

One of Ella's presents was a kit to make friendship bracelets. Ava was upset that we didn't make her one so as soon as Drew came home from church he went right to work.

He even made Ella another one because it was her birthday. Even though he was heart broken that she got an i pod and he didn't.

Ava showing off her lovely blue teeth. It's amazing to them when they can color their mouths.

She did it! All seven candles blown out at once. I hope her wish came true!

She is so proud of my cake, I will be sad when one day I can't excite her with my amateur decorating.

Her dance teacher said she was a "natural" so Grandma Carol bought her a dozen dance outfits.

(I still don't get this blog stuff at times, I had these pics in once but in the wrong order so I tried to rearrange them and poof they were gone.) Is what I wanted to say was when our babysitters are here they love to take lots and lots of pictures, here is a sample of their art work. Further on down the blog is some more that they took of Ella, Ava and Maya. Drew wanted nothing to do with it.

It is amazing to me how much they look alike and we have no relation what so ever.

Drew, Ella and the Ott's love to dress up. Sometimes they even go to the movies like this. It is so funny to see them all dressed up walking back and forth from house to house just having a ball and being young.

Drew had so much fun looking like Mario that he wanted to go to the football game dressed up. Now can you imagine what Tyler would of said if I really let him go like that?

This is Ella's first picture of her hair cut.

When Ella walked up to the football game all the cheerleaders and little Jr. Cheerleaders ran up to her and circled her in Aw of her hair. They couldn't believe that she had cut it. All night we would hear them saying "I love Ella's hair, I need to cut mine like that." (mind you she is only six, but what a trend setter!!!)

Here they are, their first big Jr. Cheer Camp.

Looks like they are having a ball, hope they are this excited for the big game.....
