He was miserable! These pictures were actually taken days after the sunburn. He had blisters all over his face. This is why you should wear sunscreen. I hope he learned his lesson. For some strange reason I'm thinking he hasn't.

Official Sunscreen Spokesman
He was miserable! These pictures were actually taken days after the sunburn. He had blisters all over his face. This is why you should wear sunscreen. I hope he learned his lesson. For some strange reason I'm thinking he hasn't.
Pig Pen
The pig pen is a little place we like to visit. We have not taken the whole family for awhile since it is a steep hike. You would think Rylee is the energizer bunny, he just kept going. Even Bear came and he surprised me at every rock. We all had a great time and no accidents so it was a very good day.
Dog Days of Summer
Ready, Set, Aim
Annual Salem Tri
How Tyler spends his day at the triathlon.



Every Year for the last 4 years Joe has competed, or as he would say participated, in the Salem Triathlon. My brother-in-law, Chris, started doing triathlon' s many years ago and he has now put the bug in Joe. I think they are both crazy! We love to go down and cheer them on as a family. Another tradition that has started is that Chris runs back on the course to find Joe and give him some encouragement to finish.
My little Fighter
Here we go again. We could not go through the summer without having some sort of accident. Rylee just happened to be the victim this time. Of course Joe was not home as normal. So here is how the story goes. I was home with Kaleb and Rylee getting them dinner so we could go watch Brayden play baseball. Rylee came over to me and I gave him something, I don't remember what it was. While he was running back to the table he tripped and fell. He started crying and I went over and picked him up to comfort him. I saw blood and realized he had bit his tongue. No big deal right. As I was focused on trying to stop his tongue from bleeding he looked up. That's when I noticed that his chin was split open. Needless to say that is when I had Kaleb call Joe. Joe was at scout's and had taken my car which had Rylee's car seat in it. Kaleb told him he needed to come home and his first thought was that something was wrong with me until Kaleb told him Rylee needed stitches. To make a long story shorter we headed to the doctor's with Rylee screaming he did not want stitches and to just put a bandaid on it. It took over an hour to put 7 stitches in because he was quite the fighter. The doctor commented he had met his match and never seen a child with so much energy. While being strapped down to a papoose board, Joe holding his upper body, 2 nurses trying to hold his head and me holding his legs he broke my heart when he started yelling for daddy, mommy, then Kaleb. Anyone that would help him he was calling their name. He also kept screaming "get me outta here, let me go, I wanna go home" and many others I can't recall. He is a fighter and I love that about him. One more set down and hopefully not any more anytime soon.
SWIMMING LESSONS 2009
I am not the best swimmer and I have a fear, or should I say respect, of the water. So, I want my boys to be able to swim because I'm not sure I could save them let alone myself. This is Rylee's first year and he is doing awesome. He doesn't seem to have any fear of the water. He sticks his whole face right in the water and is like a little fish. This is Kaleb's 2nd year and he finally feels comfortable enough to be in the deep. He was afraid to jump off the diving board without a noodle until Tyler challenged him. Now I can't keep him off of it. I am so proud of the two of them!
This is just another example of why I love where I live. This
picture does not do it justice. It was too big to fit in the whole picture and it was a double. All my boys were running down the street trying to find the end of the rainbow. I was later told by a neighbor that the end of the rainbow was at my Bishop's house.
SuMmEr PrEsChOoL
Rylee on his first day of summer preschool. I can't believe he is old enough to go. He is always asking me to show him how to read. He has the biggest imagination for such a little guy. He is always telling me that his teacher taught him that.
He would not stop posing for me when I went to take his picture. He is quite the HaM!
