Drew's Favorite cousin Bryce, Uncle Jeff and Grandpa Doug putting in some park time on the big birthday.

Cydnee and Ella, wearing their shirts Grandpa and Grandma Hafen brought back from Canada

Everyone wants a little love from Miss Maya.

Gerrett Glover, cute kid..

Tavin Ott and Drew, now these two could be major trouble... but a lot of FUN!

This is what summer birthdays are all about.. trampolines, water fights and baseball. What more could you ask for.

Jaden and Drew playing a little baseball, SAFE!

For his 5th Birthday he wanted Brownies with Peanut M & M's, his two favorite things. For the decorations, Fireworks and Guns... Should we be worried???

His first skateboard, this kid likes to live on the edge... or at least dream about living on the edge... Yes! We should be worried.

Drew and Tavin

Cole Clarkson, and David Johnson. (Drew has a wide selection of friends ranging from any age)

Ah heck why not a kiss too.

I just happened to look out our kitchen window and saw a sad little birthday boy "chillin" on top of the swing set. Not an unusual site.

Aunt Mardi and Dexter came to visit and brought Drew boy's birthday with them. He promised a hug before he could open anything...

















Hip Hip Hooray just what he wanted... Heeleys!

Spring 2008

Yeah Drew!!! You Did it!!! Now how ya going to get down? (it took a little coaxing but Tyler finally unglued him from the Rainbow)
I feel like I need to post anytime I'm in a picture because it's few and far between.
Don't ask, this boy comes up with some dandy ideas.

Just doing a some old fashioned pull up's... Ya right! I couldn't even do these in Elementary school when we had to test on them. I dreaded them! Tyler on the other hand won the contest. Even then he tried to impress me. :)

OK, this is hard to do. After about five tries, Tyler gave me a little boost. Thanks babe!
He's scared! I would be too, heights are not my thing anymore!

Ella on the Rainbow at the Elementary school... Tyler and I played on this very Rainbow when we were her age.

Just a little FYI... The black blanket Maya is setting on is one I made for Tyler in 1993, and the Car seat in the back has now been through four of my children and one cousin. Money well spent.

Ava is a little nervous to climb the rainbow. It's a lot harder than it looks. Trust me I tried it, I just got rid of the proof.

Summer 2008

In the mornings during summer I would go exercise with my friends and Ella knew she was in charge until I got back, looks like this time she thought Maya needed some medicine...

Almost every summer night Ava and Mirandah (and usually Chloe) would end up in our bath tub for hours. Really, it was a great babysitter.

Ah Maya and her chubby cheeks... I could just eat'em up.

Ava and her favorite friends playing in the sprinklers on a hot summer day...

I guess the parade wore these two pioneers out.

Don't let Drew's face fool you, they really had a fun time!

This is on the 24th of July, the kids got to dress up like pioneers and ride in old fashioned bath tubs while their uncle Jeff pulled them in a tractor.
