 Sausha & Jack

 Zach & Meredith

She did a good job and I can't wait to see the big ones!

Slip N Slide

On two different days we pulled out a home made slip n slide. The kids loved it. Even the three little ones would go down the slide( had had to push them but they flew down.) The older kids were great about watching out for the little ones playing. It was definitely a hit with all of the kids.

Hanging out

I wasn't great about taking pictures most of the time we were just hanging out. We had three days were all of us were basically together. Then we had more days that had most of us together. Here are a couple of pictures of the kids playing.

The one year olds playing

 The big kids playing in the other room. The nice part at Dad and Vicki's house is that there is french doors that divide the living room from the great room and so we were able to have the little kids away from the big kids.

A picture of our "babies" They are all with in 8 days from first to last.

Fiesta Days Parade

On the 24th Spanish Fork had a parade. So the majority of us headed on down.

Dad, Vicki, Esther, Meredith, Royal, Atticus, Morgan, Jennie, Dashiel, Myles, Chase, Asher, Jennie's Mom Kathy, Me and Jana.

 The boys lining up to get sprayed by the water guns.

The kids had fun getting candy!

Rodeo

Fiesta Days!! The Fife Family decided to go to the Rodeo this year. We got a babysitter for the three one year olds, Sausha (because she had just had a baby) stayed home with her two but the older kids got to go.

 It had been years since I had been to the rodeo, but like everything else that happens in Spanish Fork I ran into a bunch of people that I know. This is what happens if I even go to the grocery store there. I always see someone I know. But I have to admit it is kind of fun.

The Boys that got to go to the Rodeo: Myles, Dashiel, Royal and Chase. Chase wouldn't look at me.

 Dad and Vicki

 Meredith and I

 Morgan and Jennie

Kev had to work and Zach, Dustin and Sloane were not in town yet. It was fun. We all ended up leaving early though. That thing is LONG!

Teething

I can't find the exact date Jana got some of her teeth. I wrote it on Facebook so I could go back....and now I can't find it. Oh well. Little girl has been working on getting teeth. One day towards the end of July I could see that one tooth was almost in. She went to bed and woke up the next more and three teeth had broken through. She had gone from three to six teeth overnight. Her 7th tooth broke through on Friday and she had her 8th, 9th and 10th break through yesterday and today.  So in two weeks she has gone from 3 to 10 teeth. I am putting a teething chart. I am guessing on some of the dates... but they are close

I got this chart of the internet but it had someone else's dates on some of them. So I had to play with it a little bit. This way I can know what order her teeth came in. Jana has had a constant runny nose. I guess if you get seven teeth in two weeks that would explain it.

Cleaning up

I have so much to catch up on. We have been super busy and having a lot of family time. But little girl did something so cute today that I wanted to write down before I forget. Kev, little girlie and I were sitting in the front room. All of a sudden Jana was running out of the run. I was laughing because it was so cute. Then I noticed her zippy cup was spilling water. I asked Kevin to clean it up quick and just then Jana came running back into the room with a towel. She took it over and started to "clean up" her spill. Oh my it was the cutest thing. Kev and I were trying not to laugh because it was so cut. I told her "good girl" a couple of times because she was cleaning up her mess.

If anyone thinks there kids don't notice what they do even from very young they we nuts. She knew she had spilled, she knew where the towels where and she knew it needed to be cleaned up. It was adorable!
