Free Nevada Fishing Day!

On Saturday is was Free NV fishing day so we took the kids over to Hafen Park and tried to catch some fish! We didn't catch anything....but we weren't there too long! Kids can only sit there for so long waiting. =) But we had a fun time!

Ammon thought it was so cool!

After a while we let the kids go play at the park....

~I love just having some laid back Family Time!~

Ashlyn's Earrings

Ashlyn got her ears pierced a month or so ago. After Alley got hers Ashlyn really did NOT want to do it. But, I guess she was ready, she wouldn't stop talking about it! So, we got it done and she was so brave! She loves them!! She thinks they are sooo pretty and loves to show everybody! My little freckle faced girl with her earrings!

T-ball 2009

The kids had a great time at T-ball this year! This was Ashlyn's first time getting to be on the team. I think she is actually too young...but daddy was the coach =) so I guess she got to play too!

Ammon had fun watching But, he'd actually rather be playing...he went out there a few times and grabbed the bat like it was his turn. ~Ashlyn throwing it to first base~~Alley getting a grounder~Good Job team!! They were the Dodgers this year!Giving 5's to the other team!Ashlyn, Alley, Javen & Ammon

Ammon @ 18 months

Ammon is getting so big so fast! I can't believe he is already 18 months old. He is such a boy!

Here is a little about him:

He loves to play ball...Any kind of ball, but he is super cute trying to play baseball. He has a little bat and He'll hit the ball, drop the bat and take off running! He's so cute and so much fun! He could play catch all day long. He loves to catch the ball and throw it.

Ammon is finally able to go to nursery....but, he's actually been going for a couple months now. =) He's really good, he loves it, he hardly cries except for when mommy comes in for singing time and then leaves again... he get's sad for a second.

He is starting to try and say everything that we say. A few things he says often are.... Ash (Ashlyn), Aya (for Alley), Go, Stop, Dog, Mama, Dad, Ball, Gampa (Grandpa), No, Hotdog, (tanktu)Thankyou, Spongebob (sad I know...he learned that from the girls =).

He also does the sign language for Milk, eat, drink & more. He can tell you where his nose, eyes, ears, head, hair, mouth, toes, hands and belly button are!

He loves to race and run really fast, spin around, sing songs, play in the dirt and copy

anything the girls are doing! He is such a joy in our home...although he can throw pretty big tantrums! =)

He climbs on everything and is the only kid I've had problems with playing in the toilet..YUCK!

He now weighs 25 pounds. When he is tired he loves Mommy to hold him and he has to play with my hair. If my hair is up where he can't grab it easily...he points and says "hair." He has to hold it at all times! =)

This week we went down to the Pediatric Urologist after having a renal ultrasound done on his Kidneys. We have to do tests every 6 months. This time we only had to do the ultrasound! YaY! The Doctor said everything looks the same, the pelvic kidney (the right kidney) is smaller than the other (that's what they noticed on the last ultrasound too.) But, the left kidney is perfect and since he hasn't had any infections, blood in his urine and no other problems it seems...we don't have to go back for a whole year!! YaY!

We love you Ammon so much! You are growing too fast and getting so smart! You are going to be a great big brother!

*POOL FUN*

I think we will practically be living at the pool this Summer!! =)

Slip ~N~ Slide

Ammon doesn't like it so much, He doesn't like getting sprayed in the face! =)

After getting a few raspberries (ouch), they were done with the slip-n-slide and decided to spray each other with the hose!

Then, time to dry off and have a picnic!

This & That

I haven't posted in a while, these are a few pictures that were on my camera from the last couple months, so I figured I better get them on here!

Alley is becoming such a great reader! She loves to read! She won two certificates from school for reading so many books. Each Certificate was worth a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut! She let Ashlyn have one =) So, one night we had Family Night at Pizza Hut! Great Job Alley!

(She is such our little nerd in this picture...haha, but our cute nerd!)
