Playin' In the Snow

Kolbie was Tyler's little shadow all weekend. He had fun playing in the snow with Tyler.

Matthew and the boys built a jump at the end of their long slide. They had a great time. Kamree was keeping up with all of them. The girl has NO fear.
Jennifer and Kolbie came to a stop with Kolbie yelling, "Wheeeeee." Everyone had fun!!

Kolbie was getting his first driving lesson from Grandpa.

Line Dancing..

The young men and women in our ward had a line dancing night. I have actual proof that the boys do know how to dance if they really want to.

It was actually a lot of fun. (even with Matthew telling me he was being tortured.

Basketball

The boys have both enjoyed playing basketball this year. Tyler has gotten very aggresive on defense. His team played pretty well. They won about half of their games
Matthew spent most of his time in flight. His main goal was to stuff as many people as possible. I just got lucky enough to get a picture of one. Matthew's team finished the season undefeated.

Taking Down the Tree

Grandma's house had a tree that was trying to fall on the roof. The guys got together so they could chop it down.

They put a metal bucket on the forks, and climbed in. Matthew and dad were 50 feet in the air at times. They had to cut off the branches in chuncks so they could get it to the ground with out taking out power or phone lines. It took about 4 hours to take out 2 trees. Both trees were hollow clear down through to the roots.

Happy Birthday Matthew..

For Matthew's birthday we decided to do something spur of the moment. We went to Vegas to Mandalay Bay to the Shark Aquarium. The boys had a blast. Matthew thinks his little 10 gallon fish tank is too small now (that's what he got for his birthday)
They had a "touch" pool for different manta rays.


Of course we had to tag his car (even though it was raining)
