Cedar Hills Fireworks

Because of the crazy wind on the 24th, Cedar Hills didn't set their fireworks off until the 28th...we went up to the golf course to watch.

24th of JULY 2008

For Pioneer Day, Devon brought some bomb rockets over. The kids ran and grabbed baseball mits to catch the cans as they came down! (only hit Kelly's car once :)



We watched fireworks from the pool...


We went to the Cedar Hills night Owls game.....Zacky still tries to do the worm in public any chance he gets!
The kids sat in the outfield....Zacky waited and waited for a homerun ball....never came....
They eventually were told to get down!
After the game Bryan beat the heck out of Kara with his flip flop...Kara does always ask for it! Crazy girl!
We watched fireworks at the stadium after the game...


And had running races...



After all the craziness with the tickets, we all ended up in the outfield anyway!

domino wars

daddy made up a domino throwing, knock each other's 'building' down, war game with the kids...they love it and rarely get hurt:)

SPRING 2008

Easter 2008. We had a big Easter egg hunt in our backyard.

CEDAR HILLS FUNRUN AND 5K

Here's all the fun from the boys 5 K and the kids mile run...
Bryan wasn't happy with this time...nerd!
Jared....
Taylor....
Zacky...he actually ran it this year and finished in 8 1/2 minutes! Usually he's not so in to running! (he'll remind you that this was with the inflamed growth plates in his feet! Actually legit this time :) When I finally did take him in because he had been hobbling around like 50 cent for a while, the doctor said he actually did have a painful condition. Zacky got wide-eyed and looked straight at me and said "I told you! You thought I was faking!" I did :)
Taylor made it in 7 min 40 seconds and that was with a stop in the bushes to throw up! She came in crying, but I can't believe she finished after she puked! She was just mad because Derek came in a litte ahead of her (he's like his dad)
Ryan did great! Even with his arm style!
The boys took a bunch of bananas at the end???

Jeff is crazy!
Devon....
We love getting up early for these races ;)

Long Boards

the kids made their own long boards with Jeff....

Ice skating

The kids love ice skating (even the boys...Zacky's been telling everyone that he's going to be in hockey in the winter...does he know his mom??? the same one that won't let him play tackle football!!) Taylor and Noelle are still taking lessons and LOVE it! They are in level 5 now and are doing great...spins, back cross overs...we're impressed!
