Gansta Zacky

Zacky is so funny about his clothes. He 'dresses up' for whatever he's playing. If it's time to skate board, he'll go up and change....this was his choice today. Kara then helped him gansta it up! Thanks Kara! :)

Painting time again

Kimmy saves my booty again...need her height to finish off all of my paint jobs :)
And the kids LOVE to play with Kara...they all flock to her!

ALL STAR GAME

Zacky made the All-Star Team again this year and got to pitch too. He struck a few kids out!

Can you tell he watches baseball on t.v.??? (2 bats to warm-up :)
He almost got hit...
This year was tough...the team we played had a kid that could pitch 55 mph and accurately! It made it tough to compete...we lost, but some our kids managed to get hits.




The boys weren't terribly happy but we had to remind them that they were picked for the top team...our coaches even kept stats and Zacky had the highest batting average!

SCOUT CAMP

Oh how excited I was to be the Wolf Den Leader and even more excited when I realized I got to go to scout camp! :) Zacky loved it, though, especially the bow and arrows!

Pleasant Grove CARNIVAL

Once the kids see the rides set up on Main Street each year, we HAVE to go to the 'rip you off' carnival!....they love it.....
Have to have 'jumping' pics no matter where we go!

The kids managed to get Austin on the train with no ticket and hopped on too! We had to discuss lying when they came back :)
The best part of Strawberry Days are the strawberries and cream!

Zacky shows us his skills!
Taylor loves the Ring of Fire...looks terrifying to me!
Noelle liked it too this year!
Zacky convinced Derek to go on the spin til you puke saucer!

And Taylor and Noelle tried this crazy one this year! They can't get enough! Taylor said she'd like to jump out of a plane, that's how crazy this girl is!

Last BASEBALL GAME OF SEASON

Potty break before the game :) they LOVE it!
So we were tied for 1st going in to the last game of the season. We beat the Devil Rays the 1st time, if we beat them this game, we won the championship. Can you tell by Zacky's face that we lost. It was a very close game and Zacky made around 15 outs as picture (and one out in center during our pineapple switch-a-roo). He was NOT happy. He worked so hard and was really dissapointed....we are still learning about good sportmanship and accepting loses :)
Zacky was not happy with 2nd...he said it wasn't fair because the other team was talking trash and he thought the nicer team should have won :)
Bryan was out of town, so Zacky had to call him to tell him the news.
We had a party at purple turtle after the game...

And the kids found a centipede....Tiffany tried to keep the boys quieter and entertained by putting it on their heads :)

Ripsticking

Taylor and Noelle tried to teach Kimmy and Kara how to rip stick! They love that they are soooo good while everyone else crashes! :)

Father's Day 2008

We made Daddy breakfast in bed and then the kids gave him cards that said things like "thanks for never yelling at us during soccer games, and thanks for never being crabby!" they thought it was funny!
they found a monkey i-pod player for daddy's office! Ever since the rally monkey at the Angels stadium, he loves monkeys??
Zacky picked out a matching outfit for Daddy :)
Taylor made her famous cake! She is the BEST cake maker!

guitar hero

Taylor plays guitar hero with a cast AND backwards :) and is actually really good!

summer time fun

The kids LOVE going to Kelly's house and skateboarding and having bike races with all of the neighbors. It's a summer fav!
