Memorial Day Weekend

Evening at the Barber

such a sad face!

Still getting a hair cut!

Jexten's haircut!

Pooters wasn't very excited about the idea of a haircut! We thought it would be easiest if we let him eat dinner first and then, while he was still strapped to his booster, do the job. I hate to immagine what a rodeo we would have had if we had done it any other way!

This is how Jexten likes to run around these days!

adessa slide diving

this is what adessa calls "slide diving" she gets on her sleeping bag that mom and dad gave her for christmas years back and slides down the stairs like a bob sled! do you remember doing this as a kid. i'm sure lance does. he's the one that showed all of us how to do it. when mom and dad would go out to the temple or out on a date we would do a similar thing down our stairs in elwood. it's a childhood classic!!! WATCH OUT JEXTEN!! I LOVE IT!

kurt and adessa boxing

i know it's not christmas anymore, but i'm still catching up on this blogging thing! as you saw before, we spent christmas with my parents in idaho. one of the prensents adessa got were a pair of boxing gloves. kurt and the kids play this really cute game called "buddabeedukes" aka "put up your dukes" so i thought it would be a funny gag gift to give kurt a set of these blow up boxing gloves too. jexten also got a pair, the result was better than i ever expected!! even today, nearly 6 months later, the game still goes on! somethimes it's between kurt and the kids, sometimes during the day one of the kids will come flying out of the bedroom, like a brave on the warpath, wearing a pair of these and just start pounding the other until they both have a pair on and are going at it like there's no tomorrow!! IT'S HILLARIOUS!! i hope you enjoy this video!;-)

this is friend, the dog. she is so patient and tolerant of anything that anyone wants to do to her. i mean, look at what she let me do!! recently i bid on and won a set of dog clippers on e-bay. they came in the mail today, so i thougt i would take care of my poor poochy. that didn't turn out quite as well as i thought it would. now, instead of looking like a wild neglected crazy dog, she looks like a rabid mangy dog who quite possibly could have cancer! YIKES!! hahah oh well, i guess i'll try again another day to even it out a bit. mostly, i should have used lamb sherers! ahhh the good 'ol days! haha i'll have to get some lubricating oil for the new clippers so that i can finish my butcher job on my poor dog. i mean sereously, what did she ever do to deserve such treatmen?!;-) we love you friend!!

Starting our blog today

This is our most recent family picture! We had a very large family get together over Christmas at mom and dad's house. The weather finally got warm enough for the kids(and bigger kids) to go outside and play! One result of that play day is posing behind us!
