The Fourth of July

The kids had a blast on the 4th. Here's Dusty, Kyler (his bum anyway), Chance, Chubby and Kelly. They thought it was great that Chubby joined them on the tramp.
Azlin coming to join the fun, doesn't Chubby look like she's smiling?
Once Chubby got down it was dog pile on Chance time!
Chance is such a great big brother/cousin. He keeps all the little ones having fun and watches out for them too.
These three are like the musketeers!
Azlin has absolutely no fear, which scares me!
I love this one.
Dusty and Kyler look like they're planning something mischevious!
Little Miss Attitude.
Grandpa, the great story teller! The kids were so interested in what he had to say. And no, Bo is not going to poop, he was sitting down right when I snapped this picture!
Just look how intense they are, listening to grandpa's every word.
Not sure if Dusty was acting out the Karate Kid, or if she was repeating what grandpa had said. And don't forget, the ever present Bo.
Chubby, the princess. She's a very sweet dog.
Hey, my name's Bo, what's up?
He owns the place, can you tell?
Another one of Chubby, it was so hot, I feel bad for her in that big fur coat.
I love these pictures of Kelly and Kyler. While they were waiting for the cousins to show up, they spent a lot of time wrestling.
And giggling.
This one is my favorite, Kelly was laughing so hard because Kyler was hitting him in the face with his own hand saying "stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself..."
This is what a clean Kyler looks like on the 4th of July.
He had Legos spread out all over the family room while he waited for the cousins.
Then this would be a dirty Kyler on the 4th of July.

More wrestling, they wore each other out.

What To Do On A Hot Day In June

Dusty, Hunter and Kyler chow down on some fat dogs, hot off the grill.
Madison riding her bike after she dried off from running through the sprinkler.
Hunter had the right idea, he was the first in the water and the last out.

Madison, looking cute as always.

Randy and his baby girl, look at that dirty face!
This is one of the sweetest things I've ever seen, giving Grandpa a kiss good bye, I love it.
Grandpa and his first girl, so precious.

My beautiful Dusty Jo, even with her homemade haircut, she's so pretty.
This is the beginning of Azzie's dirty face. She got so filthy, she had so much fun!
Could this be where some of the dirt came from???
I think she's thinking "what haircut?"

Now those are some dirty hands! She ate almost that entire bag of Doritos by herself, she called them "the pink chips".

The kids love to play in Miss Lissa's old wheelchair. It's the funnest toy at our house. Azzie was watching her big brother Chance climb the tree. Hopefully she wasn't trying to figure out how she could get up there too!
This is the debut photograph of Dusty's new haircut, she did it herself! Actually, you can hardly tell, she cut her bangs all off, almost to the scalp.
Chance, he's just too cool.
Yes, this would be Uncle Kelly in the tree, I told you they were apes in another life!
Chance didn't think Uncle Kelly would get up there with him, WRONG!

Father's Day 2008

The Harley Dudes, Randy, Azlin and Dusty hanging out in front of the carport at Grandma and Grandpa's house on the Hog.
Kyler learned to ride his bike without training wheels...Look Grandma, no hands!
Chance, the tree monkey...I guess it's really true what they say about humans evolving huh?
Yes, Summer finally arrived in Utah. It was a very hot Father's day, but much fun was had by all.

Will Summer EVER Show Up?

I keep getting harassed because I haven't posted any new pictures, so here's a couple. Chance is ready for Summer, but I don't think Summer knows it is time to show up. Dusty and Azlin, the Fairy Princesses look like they're ready for Summer fun too.
