Fishin'

My brother Paul was taking his boys fishing, so Nate, Tanner, Dallin and Ashlyn tagged along. Ashlyn was dying to go. The boys would go with Paul and his boys all last summer and Ashlyn felt left out. After they got back Ashlyn said she wants to go with them whenever they go.

Don't we live in a beautiful place?  

 And it was a nice quite morning for Amber and me. :)

Outings

Nate took the kids to get tires. Not sure why they wanted to take pictures with them, but they were kind of silly. 

Found another park that we like in Jacksonville.

We hiked Roxanne last month. Forgot to post it. Went with Paul's family and my sister Tracie.

Miscellaneous pictures

We had to set up for soccer one week, and Amber helped put up the flags.

Dallin making a Birthday Count Down. He is so excited to have a birthday.

My friends down the street watched Ashlyn and Amber one day and they played in their little car. Ashlyn LOVED it so much she is saving for her own. 

And it begins. Ashlyn lost her first tooth. 

 Tanner has been studying American Indians, specifically the Nez Pierce tribe. They made these miniature Indian shelters. What a fun project! Tanner had so much fun he wants to do another project like it this summer. 

Playground Fun

For family night we went to the school to play wall ball and basketball. 

Ashlyn is so excited to play on this playground everyday when school starts. 

 Tanner winning HORSE

Dallin teaching Ashlyn how to play wall ball. This ball was definitely too big for a beginner. 

Dallin's Piano Recital

We rushed to Dallin's recital from soccer practice so he wasn't dressed for a recital but oh well. 

This was Dallin's first year doing piano. I can't tell if he loves it or not. He doesn't practice much. Not sure if it will stick, but we will see. This first one is just the end of one song. I liked his bow at the end. 

And here he is doing Jingle Bells.

Preschool Graduation

 Ashlyn graduated from preschool. I am so glad she got to do with with my good friend Jenna. I was in a preschool co op group with Jenna last year, and was so happy when she decided to just do her own. Amber will do it next year with her. 

Having ice cream one day. 

Spring Soccer

It is that time of year again. We are halfway through with soccer season. I got a new camera lens, and had fun taking pictures at Tanner's game. 

 The cheerleaders. Actually they weren't even paying attention to the game. They do their own thing with some of the other players' sisters.
