Fourth of July Festivities

We had a barbeque to start out the night and swam in the pool

then off to our friends for FIREWORKS!

 

 Teagan wasn't fond of the noises. 

Coleston stayed awake and enjoyed the fireworks as long as he had his binky in.

Treydon enjoying the ever so dangerous sparklers.

 Ashelyn trying her hand at the dangerous fun.

The kids got to pick which fireworks the men lit.

Coleston just checking out the finale firework.



Zoo crew time 6/29/12

We always enjoy a trip to the zoo.

 

We got to enjoy it with some friends today!

 

 My Monkey Coleston

 My Birdwatcher Teagan

 Digging for fossils. 

 All the WILD ONES!

And of course a GREEN motorcycle. 

Those are very rare at the zoo ;)

Ha!  I love the ever changing interests of my kids!

Ashelyn's Gymnastics 6/28/12

After much bribing and asking and patiently waiting (poor girl), my procrastination ended.

 

 I mean isn't it only fair that she gets to do a sport if her brother is doing one!?!

I just didn't have the time or energy . . .

I thought!

 

 It was lots of fun to watch her grow and become a better gynmast!

Then she came home one day and said she didn't want to go anymore.

 

Hmmmmmm . . . . .

 

Well atleast I don't have to chase the little boys off the gynmstics equipment anymore :)

SugarPine Railroad 6/8/12

The SugarPine Railroad is right by Yosemite.

We have enjoyed coming to this train station with Quins' parents.

So we ran up again to show our little treasure to MyKell and Fynley while they were visiting.

 

 sitting near an old train engine

 On the BIG train.  We had to bribe Teagan to get on the BIG train.

 We found a river we haven't seen before.  We have only been here when there was snow on the ground.

 Teagan wasn't too fond of the BIG trains whistle . . . but he coped :)

 heading back to the train station

I loved that my little boys felt so comforted by their Grandpa and Grandma.

 

We had fun on our short trip to the train.

Then we ran home and prettied up for Quin's graduation night!

I wonder which activity the kids remember more ;)

Treydon in Cub Scouts

Treydon has really enjoyed being in Cub Scouts since January. 

 Practicing some Marshall Arts with Cole.

 

He had his bottle rocket launch today.

He was pretty excited to see how high his rocket would go.

Bliss! 6/8/2012

QUIN GRADUATED RESIDENCY!

That sounds so Amazing. . .  if only he still didn't have to work through the rest of the month.

 

But . . . this is still Bliss to me!

I know, I know . . . it's not like life is going to get better, but I may see him a little more. Maybe!

And . . . I am hoping I get my husband back!

 

The pictures are terrible.  It's time to upgrade from my phone to a real camera, . . . but that will have to wait until Quin's real job kicks in:)

 At the graduation ceremony.

Pediatrics Graduation Ceremony

and many of his friends that he will miss not seeing every day.

 

Yahoo!  The end is in sight!

Ashelyn's Kindergarten Graduation 6/6/2012

My little girl is growing up . . .

Way Too Fast!

 

Ashelyn performed with her Kindergarten group and graduated today.

 

 Ashelyn with her teacher, Mrs. Nolte, and friends Asa and Madison.

 

  

We were lucky enough to have Gma and Gpa Young here visiting for Quin's graduation.  They were able to join in the last week of school festivities.

 

Aunt MyKell and Fynley graced us with their presence also.

 

What a fun day for such a fun girl!!!
