Random iPhone pictures of the last month or two

My mom made Amber this blanket, and she has recently taken a liking to it.

 Sliding at Dallin's soccer practice, and hiking at Harris Beach

The boys at a friends birthday party.

Harris Beach in August

 Amber and Ashlyn before church one day. 

 Ashlyn doing the money bars during soccer practice, and Amber after she peed her pants. She is potty training. I am finding it takes longer when you start them younger. Tanner potty trained at 3 years old and it was quick. 

It was a Lego morning.

 Tanner got these balloons for his birthday and was having a hard time making balloon animals, so he started creating his own things.

The boys at Paul and Paula's house.

Tanner and Joel's birthday party

This year Tanner and Joel wanted a joint birthday party. They have a lot of common friends from church and soccer, so it worked out really well. We were hoping to do a pool party, but it didn't work out this year. Instead we went to the Family Fun Center for some arcade games, and we also did a few minute to win it games in the party room.

 Singing at the top of their lungs. 

Some rubber band shooting game. 

Jr Giants

I forgot to post about Jr Giants this summer. This was Tanner's 4th, and Dallin's 3rd time doing Jr Giants. We look forward to it every summer. Nate coached both boys this year, plus their cousin Joel.

 The girls are good cheer leaders. Next summer Ashlyn should be able to play, if she wants. Not sure if she will. She is really into gymnastics. 

 Baseball seems to be one of Tanner's favorite sports. He is good at it. Runs fast, hits hard. 

 Paula was the assistant coach. 

 I love my beautiful girls. I am interested to see what they will be into. I am predicting soccer and/or gymnastics for Ashlyn, and I have no idea with Amber. 

 Sliding is against the rules, but Tanner did it anyway. 

Cousins

I was taking some pictures one night, and Ashlyn wanted to pose for me. She knows one pose, hand on hip. Love it!

 This is exactly the reason we moved to Medford. Cousins. Well, one of several reasons, but it is important to me to have the kids close to family. I was close with my cousins too.
