The girls' new things

The girls have been in this new phase. They love to catch bugs and put them in jars. I am finding bug jars all over my house with all sorts of things in it. Oh well when they grow up I will look back on this and laugh.

Katie is talking so great now, her favorite saying is "OH MY GOSH!!" she is such a funny little girl.

Paige is in to memorizing songs. She asks to listen to a song over and over and over and......... until I finally say no more because I cannot take it anymore. But this also I will miss and think is super cute. She starts soccer soon and I can't wait. That picture was her sucking her nostrils in after i sqeezed her nose. She's so silly. Katie tried it too, but couldn't do it :(

Father's Day the Pectol Way

Here is another one of our adventures. We went camping this year with our good friends and neighbors, the Green's and Jensen's. Poor Sarah got the flu while we were out there and we missed her while she was gone, but we all had a blast (even Sarah before she got sick). I rode my very first four wheeler all by myself. Thank-you Tara and Trent. I also drove the Rhino a little until I thought I broke something on it.....ooopsy:) Thanks Sarah and Jared!!! John went on the canoe with the kids while I cleaned dishes, but he got scared because the girls were standing and rocking the boat and it was dusk. Then he went out all day Sat. and caught 2 fish and they were YUMMY!!! I stayed and chatted with Tara and played with the kids and tried to get Joey to take naps and not get into too much trouble. He tipped his baby camp chair over and got his first owie. POOR GUY:( Anyway we had so much fun there. When we got home we went to My parents on Sunday and went swimming and had yummy BBQ. I love BBQ:) John got some DVD's from my parents that he's watched all of them already. Thanks MOM and DAD!!

What a fun year. We found out we've outgrown our trailer though, so once we sell this house we'll buy a new one. (Hopefully!)

Fun in the Sun!!!

Here are the kids playing in the sun out here in HOT southern Utah. Doesn't joey look cute in the hat. He is so bald I try to make it so he doesn't get sunburn on his head. That's the only hat I could find

SLC

We went to Salt Lake City for our sorta family and went to the zoo. Katie had tons of fun and Paige was awnry from not sleeping good in the hotel. Joey wouldn't sleep in the stroller for some reason, but the carousel and train were fun.

Fun at the creek

We were hot one day and decided to go with some friends to the creek and have some fun. Katie got scared of the rushing waters.
