Fun outside!

Here's the boys playing in the sprinklers. Yes we finally have our backyard almost ready to plant. We were testing to make sure they covered good and the boys and the dog just couldn't resist.

This morning as Devin was leaving for school the sun was a deep maroon color, I am sure it has something to do with Gentry mountain being on fire. The picture didn't take as good as I would have liked. The boys really liked looking at it though.

Grace is such a BIG GIRL!

GRACE HAS BEEN GOING POTTY IN THE TOILET FOR A WHILE NOW. I haven't pushed the issue but maybe I should before the opportunity passes. I hope everyone understands why there are no pictures included.

Las Vegas Summer 2009

This is where we found the wallet
This Aquarium had a scubadiver inside feeding the sharks and other stingrays
This was the view from the roof top pool
Spending time bonding...
This summer we took our vacation to Las Vegas Nevada hoping to spend some time with My brother and his family. We had the most wonderful time just hanging out and getting to know each other better and letting the little cousins play together. We thought our kids were going to turn into little fish all they wanted to do was swim in the roof top pool.
We also visited many of the sites and I regret not taking more pictures but I hope the memories will last. We had fun at M&M world we brought an orange M&M guy home on our car antenna. The aquarium in Cesar's palace was worth the trip alone.
We found a mans wallet laying on the ground where we watched the water show, we contacted his credit card company and they called him and gave him our information so he could get it back, he was so grateful that we were honest, he got it back just in time so him and his wife didn't have to miss their flight back to NYC. We beleive what comes around goes around. I still hope I never lose all my personal information to a stranger.
We also spent a day at the LasVegas Temple having a picnic on the grounds and admiring the beauty. It was neat to be able to show the boys in person the temple where I took out my endowment.
We also stopped at a yard sale at Delores Fuller's (an actress that starred with Elvis) We bought her old golf clubs for cheap and some movies for the kids. It was worth stopping even just to look at the antiques. Anyway we had a good time and were glad we could share some of it with family.

Summer Fun

Spending Time with Papa Grandma & Bridget

One last Summer Adventure for the Kelly Family!

We decided that we should get out and have one more fun camping trip before school starts, so we headed up to the mountain to find that there were bow hunters everywhere, we found a pretty good camping spot on top. Saturday Grandma and Grandpa Kelly came up to hang out, the boys went fishing and the girls visited. Later we went fishing again, I think we totaled 8 fish, not bad, we were so busy casting and reeling them in that we didn't even get any pictures. That was the first time we had seen albino trout, they were neat to see, they looked golden with pink eyes. We roasted hot dogs on the fire and had smores for dessert. The kids missed out on the most exciting part of the whole trip when a thunderstorm rolled in at about 2 AM and the rain poured down and the lightning struck so close it shook the trailer, I was glad the kids slept through it. Summer just flew by this year but we had our share of fun, I'll try to get our vacation posted now that we are getting back into the routine.

Gracie's first pigtails!

These three little people are my whole world, besides their daddy they are what I live for. I just wanted to share this cute picture of them because it is so fun. We done this back in june for Fathers day. Ryan got these shirts for the kids while he was in California for work.
I cannot hardly believe that Devin is going to be in first grade in just a couple of weeks. Isaac is excited to start preschool and Gracie will be happy to have Mommy all to herself for a little while. They say time flies when you are having fun, and it's true.
