Fun times around the house

Aspyn loves to get Kaison's Batman costume on and pretend she can fly like Batman. I always tell him he's very lucky to have a sister who like Batman, Spiderman and Star Wars. If only he liked Barbie, Princess stuff and babies there would be hardly be any fighting around the house. Kaison took the last picture of Aspyn with her mouth open, not a bad picture. This was the only one I kept of all the sky, toys, grass and TV pictures he took in the few minutes he had the camera when I wasn't down stairs. It's amazing what they think of together when I'm not watching.

Courtlyn loves to eat

Wow Courtlyn is a messy eater...she loves her food! If I leave her in the seat most of the time she falls asleep, it's so funny to watch her eyes getting sleepy, her head getting heavier and finally crashing. She's getting better at picking up food too, sometimes she can't figure out why her food is still in her fingers after she put them in her mouth, soon she'll figure out that she needs to let go. The kids love feeding her too and think it's so fummy when she sneeze all over me as soon as she has a mouth full of food. She's such a funny and sweet little girl!!

Swim Lessons

Kaison and Aspyn have been taking swim lesson for a few months and love it. They are both doing an awesome job!!! Kaison was swimming after only a few lessons...he started out being terrified to put his head under the water. Aspyn cried the first lesson but now loves it. A few weeks ago Kaison jumped off the diving board for the first time and is swimming more then half of the pool length. Aspyn just started the next level up and is getting ready to start swimming on her own!!

Kaison goes to Kindergarten

We are so happy for Kaison!! We can't believe he's already in school. He was a little nervous at first...but now he is doing great. He's made a lot of new friends, one lives right across the street.

Our 2008 Summer

Wow I can't believe how fast this summer when by. We had a lot of fun this summer.

We went to Lava Hotsprings, Idaho for the Hunsaker family reunion. While we were there we played at the big pool, went down the river and had a lot of fun with all the cousins. There were about 100 of us. This is all of my family and my Dad's two sisters families...the Shoemaker and Walkenhorst families. My family has been going to Lava for over 70 years now and we don't ever get tired of it.





A few weeks later we went and spent a week on a houseboat at Lake Powell with my family. With the kids having 18 first cousins there they had so much fun. Kaison caught his first fish, Ernie got his toenails painted...with most of the other boys, Aspyn made mud sandcastle with her Aunt Steph, Courtlyn was a perfect angel and I got a tan. We couldn't keep the kids out of the water. We love Lake Powell and can't wait until next year!!






All of our Lake Powell and Lava pictures are on the slide show...mixed with others from the year.
