Gramma's house: inflatable slide!!!

For the past 10 days we have been in Minnesota visiting my grandparents who have a beautiful 20 acre lot(which they are trying to sell...) and it was a  GREAT week. The kids really had a great time. But here are some of the siblings on their inflatable slide!(:

Miss impatient!:P

swimming!!

So this is the first time we went swimming this summer with the Fam. this summer!(This was the beginning of July) Since then we've gone a couple more times but the water feels great! Especially with the Oklahoma heat(above 100 everyday!) haha. We have some pretty "Fishy" kids. Addie took to swimming very quickly. After Cable was used the water he did great! They BOTH put their heads under the water and would swim, although Addie was more shocking of the two.(: Sooo cute!

He was scared to only have one noodle at first!(:Nice farmers tan Dad(;Look at her! She did that as SOON as she touched the water!!

P.O.W.

Alright,  This was last summer at our trip to Nauvoo, here are some of us at the Nauvoo temple! This was also the first time that Court was able to Baptize and Confirm! But it was also the last family vacation with Court before he left on his Mission!

Picture of the week!

So I've decided that I'll do a picture of the week every well... week!! haha:P Here is this weeks picture...

(Whitney: 18, Courtland: 17, Taylor: 15, Tate: 13 Michaela: 11, Caden: 9, Travis: 7, Cable: 2, Addie: 7-8 months.)

this picture was take August or September of 2007, this was the day that Whitney was leaving for college for the first time! There were a lot of tears after this picture!! I'm surprise that we even got smiles!!!

Cool clouds!

The weather in Oklahoma is very bipolar! It is HOT and HUMID with LOTS of sunshine during the day and you get sunburnt. Then sometimes later in the evening randomly the sky will get dark, usually yellow, and rain with LOUD thunder and LOTS of lightning. It's SUPER weird. But the clouds here are SOO cool some so I am FINALLY getting a picture of a few of them!! haha(:

it looks like a painting!

4th of July!!(:

Our usual 4th of July routine is to go around town looking for fireworks, but this year, our neighbors were shooting off fireworks. So instead if sitting in a car we went and and hung out with them! It actually works out perfectly because they have 2 girls and a little boy that Travis, Cable and Addie LOVE to hang out with! So it ended up being a perfect night!!(: I didn't have to chase ONE child!!(what a SHOCKER...)  

Observant mothers!(;

Watching the fireworks!
