Dainton could barely hold his head up due to the intense weight of the fire hat!

This is Dain's preschool class plus some siblings.

Here Dainton is demonstrating Stop, Drop and Roll for his class!

I thought this fire truck desk was sooooo cool!!

and the fire station tour begins!

Col came to me first thing this morning and said: "I am going to go outside and eat snow." Well he finally did.

Yummy snow! Later he told me his hat was all sweaty but if you can see here I believe it was just melted snow!

If you can see it here is the finished snow angels. Col is standing at the base of his.

Our little cutie pies making snow angels. I remember making snow angels when I was little, so much fun!

Sephi LOVES it!

Feona is not sure if she likes it.

It's a snow day in the Puget Sound!

They made a firetruck out of a storage shelf. Ingenious boys are!

Col really gets into his pudding!

They sang carols for all of us parents!

This is Dainton's preschool class having their Christmas Pj Party.

Go Seahawks!

Both the boys able to ride on big beautiful horses while we were at Warm Beach. They both really loved it and wanted to do it again and again!5

Dain loved this little bear!

Dain and I on the train at Warm Beach.

The boys loved looking inside this little house filled with a little train city.

This is a fun train the kids can play in at Warm Beach!

Popop and Coltin at Warm Beach.

Here is Dainton's ginger bread house he made in school!

We are so proud of him:).

Go Dain go!!!

Yes he has 2 bikes and this is the first one he tried without the training wheels.

We decided after watching Dainton try to 4x4 in the back yard with his training wheels that Kristopher would take them off. Dainton got right on his bike and road away. We think the training wheels were holding him back because he rides way better now. Crazy! Just like that he grew into a boy. Time sure does fly.

Spiderman with his safety gear and hydration.

You can always count on a big smile from Coltin!

The Kings of Leon

One of the beautiful views from the gorge.

While we were camping Kristopher and I headed over to the Gorge for the "Kings of Leon" concert, it was fantastic!!

The next day we went to the river for some water fun!

Windy windy fun!

The wind was to much for the boys so they played under the trailer instead.

Kristopher is protecting his grill from the wind.

We went camping in Vantage with my sister Heather and her boyfriend Jo. We had so much fun even with the 40 mile and hour winds:)!

Maybe next year we will get a bigger pool?

It's ball time!

Swimming...

Cheez!!

The next few pictures are of the boys in our swimming pool. They have had a blast this summer during the few warm days we have had and have even gotten desperate and gone in on a few overcast days too. they are little fishes.

Once again Coltin is on a quest to fit into a drawer. Funny guy!

These are the fireworks that almost blew our neighbors hand off and urned his hair a little.

Dain's first parachute man!

Now for some firework fun! Every year we stay home and do fireworks I realize why I like big professional pyrotechnics. The one we do at home could blow your fingers off.

For the 4th we had the Neff's over and all the men made fire.

Boys, trucks and sand!

These are the moments we will for sure miss when they are all grown up.

Taking the Rattle Snake out for a test drive.

The camping trip just happened to coincide with Dain's 4th birthday. So on the morning of his birthday we surprised him with a new bike, The Rattle Snake!

We went camping at Bumping Lake in June with a group of about 27 people. We had a blast!! This was our second year doing this and I hope we continue this tradition for a long time to come. Coltin was really into taking nature walks alone. Here is him trying to hide behind the skinny trees.
