The day after

The nurse let Puppy take the mask home. The kids think it's fun to put it on too.


Nate needs his popsicles! Even though his throat doesn't hurt anymore.

Can you say adenoidectomy and myringotomy?

Neither can Nate! But anyway, Nate had his adenoides removed and tubes put in his ears today.
He was a trooper and now he gets popsicles!

Happy father's day pictures

We love our daddy!!

(These photos would have been posted on Father's Day, however, we all had the stomach bug.)

Watch Out!!

Watch out Nate and Ellie are Wii Boxing. Ellie was declared the winner out of three rounds.

Fun with buckets!

Inside Camping

The picture is a bit dark because we are camping in our living room. The orange glow is our pretend campfire.

Memorial Day BBQ

Avery, Kaley, and Ellie are all dressed up and talking on their cell phones.

Ellie, Avery, Kaley, and Nate having their BBQ dinner on the patio.

Ellie enjoyed her cupcake!

Wrestling and relaxing

Nate and Ellie are wrestling on the floor.


They took a break and posed for a picture.


All done wrestling and enjoying some fruit snacks.

Rain!!

Nate loved that we let him jump in the puddles!


Ellie was not so sure about getting her feet wet. She thought the idea sounded fun until water got in her shoes.


This drain is fascinating! Nate's question was "Mom, does this go to the sewer?"

More close-ups

The stick your arm out far enough to take a picture of yourselves pictures. Luckily our new camera has a screen you can turn around so you can avoid the up the nose shots.

Close-ups

While Daddy was Away

We collected all of the pillows that we found in the house and dove in! The kids called it the swimming pool. Ellie insisted that I say "Come on in, the water is fine"

While Ellie napped we built walls with pillows to make a house.

On Sunday, we built a fort that took up most of the living room. It had a living room, kitchen, and bedroom.

Stormy was hanging out in the fort kitchen.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

We got a Wii!! These things are a blast! The whole family is enjoying playing it.
Check out Nate's bowling skills!

Horton Creek Trip

This weekend Eric and I went backpacking with some people from Eric's work. We went to Horton Creek/Springs which is about 15 miles east of Payson.

Grandpa helping Ellie swim. Although soon after this she wanted to do it herself.

Quote from Ellie

Uncle Mike was pretending to eat Ellie. Her response to this was, "Don't eat me. I'm not food. I'm Ellie. I'm cute." Of course you have to imagine her dramatic delivery of this line.

Crazy Nate Faces!

A collection of crazy Nate pics!
