Bowling 101...

Wait patiently for the bowling ball to return and then give the bowling ball to your brother and let him bowl.
















Watch the bowling ball go down the lane upside down for the best view!!











Always let your youngest sibling take a turn, for this will make him VERY happy!!

Zoinks! Marshall is 4!!

This year we had a Scooby Doo mystery party for Marshall's 4th B-day party! It was a blast!! We started off playing a scooby doo matching game, and next we were going to open presents only the presents were missing!! A Birthday monster had stolen the presents!! The rest of the party was spent following the clues (which were on a cassette). Each tape recording led them to another game - unwrap the mummy, eat cake, knock down scooby pinata until finally they found the monster (dad) and he says "I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids!"

I loved that Marshall was very concerned about his missing presents! Everything went smoothly except that Kason truly was afraid that there was a monster and he started to cry. Daddy had to tell him that he was going to pretend to be a monster and Kason needed to help him trick everyone. This seemed to make him happy! All in all it was a very fun party!!

Lovin' the fourth of July

THE PARADE


The fourth of July is one of our favorite holidays, and it gets better and better the older the boys get! We started the day off by going to the Boulder Damboree Parade.

























We sat at the very beginning so the boys got pretty much everything that was handed out!! Ofcourse their favorite thing was the candy, and they definitely scored in that department!!


















The end of the parade turned into a full-blown water fight, which was nice because it was ridiculously HOT out there!! This is Brig armed and dangerous!! His favorite part of the parade was the water fights!! Marshall's favorite part was the Shriners in the little cars. Kason's favorite part was the horses in the street. He could NOT BELIEVE they let the horses out of the corrals and into the streets!! He got very excited about this!! "Look mommy, the horses are in the STREET!!!!"











THE BBQ

After the parade we cooled off at the Pohe's pool and had a BBQ. Every year we get together with TJ's highschool buddies for the fourth!! It is always so fun to see everyone!!








This is Kason and his buddy Aroha! He's dancing around her - too funny!!

FIREWORKS





This year is the first year Marshall wasn't afraid of the fireworks. He even sat up on the fence with the big kids to watch them. We were soooo proud!!











I wish I could say the same for Kason and his buddy Roe! They booked it to the door after the first boom!! Kason was scared the fireworks would fall on him and burn him!! Too cute!!
