Sunnyside Ghost Town

When all the family was down for Tyson's blessing a group went to one of the ghost twons in the area. The kids really liked it . They could still see some of the old news papers that were used as wall paper, and a lot of the old constructions styles used back then.

A little competition

Who can win the most games?

Summer Activities

We have been trying to keep the older kids busy this summer with a couple of activities that they have never tried before. The cities parks and recreation offers many different kinds of classes for the kids so we decided to take advantage of them this summer. Emily decided this summer to try her hand at tennis. Now I know she is my daughter and all but she really has a talent for tennis. I was surprised at how well her hand eye coordination is. She does really well and seems to really enjoy it. So we signed up for another round of lessons starting today. There aren't that many kids in the class so she really gets that one on one attention.

Watch out Willams sisters here comes Emily!

Brandon decided to give Karate a try this summer. At first I was a little worried that he would attempt to "practice" on his sisters but he has really been responsible and kept his karate moves to himself. Brandon REALLY likes the uniform he gets to wear. You will often find him check himself out in the mirrors of the class room. Focus Brandonson Focus!

Here he is the next Karate kid. Mr. Miyagi eat your heart out.

Lions and Tigers and BEARS!!!!

Spencer took his scouts out this last weekend for the first time as the scout master and look what they found lurking around camp. Needless to say it wasn't the scariest bear. I think it at least provided so much needed entertainment.

FYI: This is taken at the top of Carr Peak at the camp ground. Can I say a little to close to home?

Baby Blessings

This past Sunday on Fathers Day Spencer was able to bless Tyson. It was really neat to be able to do this on Fathers Day. The blessing was beautiful and Tyson did great. We were able to have lots of family out for it as well. It was really great so see everyone. This is all of my side of the family that was able to come. My sisters Kim and Jennifer, her husband Cain and their daughter Natalie and my mom and dad.

These are Spencer's parents. It was also great to have them out as well. It is always nice when the kids get to see their grand parents. They can never get enough of them. Thanks to everyone for enduring the drive out. We love you.

Border Patrol Rocks!

On memorial day we were able to travel to Artesia New Mexico to the Border Patrol academy to see Cain (my sisters husband) graduate. Spencer was able to pin his badge on him. It was really a neat thing to see since none of us we able to see Spencer graduate when he graduated 7 1/2 years ago. Congratulations Cain!! Good luck on the spanish portion of the academy you'll do great.

Kindergarten here we come!

Brandon is on his way to kindergarten, and he can't wait. He thought that once he graduated that kindergarten would start right away. He wasn't getting that there is still a summer vacation in between.

This is Brandon with his teacher Mrs. K. She was great with Brandon. He is really going to miss her.
