Chandler's 12th Birthday






As you can see there was a definate morning after hangover. There were a lot of naps happening that day.

Chandler's 12th Birthday





We had quite the celebration for Chandler. A family dinner at Brick oven plus a couple of extra guests. We also had a campout in the backyard with 14 boys. Heidi kept watch over the backyard from the family room and thwarted many attempts at fire starting, toilet papering and escaping into the neighborhood. No one slept that night.

Scout court of honor



Chandler receiving his awards. First and second class and class 7. Not that I am not proud of him but I am scouting challenged and I have no idea what that means. But way to go Chandler.

North Hollywood High School 20 year reunion





We had a blast at Steve's reunion. It was at the Universal Sheraton in California. It was really nice to see everyone.

Stadium of Fire


What a spectacular show. It really helps to unite everyone with patriotism.

Stadium of Fire


Kayla and Chandler talking about the festivities. What a cute couple they'll make one day.

Miley Cirus fans


Cole, Cade, and Wyatt decided to show their true affections for Miley as her number one fans.

Stadium of Fire




Miley Cirus was the headliner and the girls couldn't help themselves. They were dancin' all over the place. You just can't take them anywhere.

Stadium of Fire





We had Forest, and the Schmanski family and Kayla with us. Glen Beck was the Emcee.

Steve


Waiting in 104 degree weather for the Stadium of Fire to start. Or as Steve calls it, the Stadium of Smoke.

Drew and Tiffanny


Watermelon at a picnic? Crazy!

Bret and Cole


The dads were sure having to keep a close eye on all the little ones at the picnic. There seemed to be quite few. We don't want to lose any of them. They are all so cute.

Ryan and Adam


Where in the world did Adam get that red hair. Who cares, it's adorable. Are you noticing a theme of father and son?

Danny and Zach


Father and son hangin' out at the picnic. Do you think Zach will give Dan a run for his money? Naaaaaahhhhhh!

Sexy pregnant mama


Jenny Engemann looks beautiful in blue and pregnant. Can't wait to see this babe.

Sisters, Sisters


Just chatting at the picnic. What about? We'll never tell. Mainly because neither of us can remember.

Da boys!


Chandler, Dallen and Hayden. Cousins getting dirty and having fun at the picnic.

Relaxing at the family picnic on the 4th


Emily Engemann will probably kill me for posting this but I think she looks amazing.

Brianna and Kent


Dating huh? Kent and Brianna sitting in a tree..... you know the rest.

cousins


Addi and Isabelle. What cute girls. I am not sure they should be allowed out of the house.

The best smile in town


Little Jade is just soaking up every image she can at the parade. I think her favorite were the princesses that walked by.

A reminder of our freedom


The millitary jets flying over head so low you feel like you could just jump up and touch them. These are the people who defend our country.

Macho macho man


Chandler got to break a boarrd with the karate exhibit in the parade. I think his head swelled ten times that day.

dirty kids on the job


The tradition is to spend the night at the parade sight and defend our spot to the end. Of course I sent my kids to do the work of defending. They stayed with their aunt Lisa and uncle Scott. That is why they all look a little worse for the wear.

Nick and Kari and Jack Jack


The picture perfect family. Just wait till they add more kids.

4th of July parade 2008


We had quite the group with us. Every year it grows and grows.

The famous swing


The kids always jump out of the car into a dead sprint for the tire swing at the teasdale house.

The famous swing


What a beautiful girl. Well she is my daughter after all. Ha! Ha!

The famous swing


Every year we take pictures of the kids swinging on the tire swing at the teasdale house. It is fun to see their growth. What a poser.

Me and mom chillin' on the porch at the teasdale house.

Goosenecks Hike Overlook


Give the kids some rocks and mountains and they are blissfully happy. We could barely get them to leave.

Goosenecks Hike Overlook


What a beautiful view. It is breathtaking and spectacular.

Hickman's Bridge Hike


After a fun hike up to the bridge, the kids spent time reading the carvings in the rocks around there.

On the hike to Hickman Bridge


There is strength in numbers.
