Fun in the Sun!

About a week ago on a lazy hot Sunday afternoon, 
Josh decided to help the kids stay cool by setting up a slip-n-slide in the back yard.
They had a blast with it!
Thanks honey!







Trying to convince Will to go!
He's so funny...he was nervous!



















This is what Dallin's leg looked like after scout camp. 
He had over 30 mosquito bites just on his legs!




The kids had a blast rolling, slipping, and sliding down the hill. 
I enjoyed sitting under the tree reading a book while the did all of that!
What a great Sunday afternoon!

4th of July 2011 and proof that we celebrated Dallin's birthday

Wow...I can't believe that we have already celebrated the 4th this year. It seems like summer has just barely started for us. 
Man, how time flies.
We celebrated by having a BBQ and our annual Sidewalk of Fire! We had a blast. This year, we let the kids light off most of the fireworks....and there were plenty. And of course they were ready to light them all off at 7:30p.m. Even better than our box, was that most of our neighbors bought the new legal "cake fireworks" this year, so we had quiet a show!
We all loved it!

My boys.




The neighbors even set up to join in our festivities.



The crackling whip.









Gotta have sparklers!





Notice the torch that we (the kids) used to light off the fireworks!
Safety first around here!






My favorite with the little blue sparkly streaks.






Last post I mentioned that we celebrated Dallin's birthday in June, but I didn't have any pictures.
I guess that's what happens when you don't download them for a month.
Well, here you have it, pictures of Dallin's birthday.
He celebrated by having wings for dinner with rice krispy treats for dessert. 
He also planned a movie/sleepover night with two of his cousins.
Happy 11th Birthday Dallin!
I hope that you have a great year!



Josh picked out a blow dart gun for Dallin!
He loves it!



Awesome Zombie targets!
