Dolla Dolla Bills Ya'll

Last year soccer season was rough for the girls, neither one scored many goals and it was frustrating.  This year, to add some incentive, I told the girls I would give them a dollar for each goal they scored...they nearly broke the bank!  I'm pretty sure Alyssa scored at least one goal every game, and Holly scored almost every game.  Way to go girls!!!

Birthday Boy!

Qyntn turned one!

I had Qyntn in training for a month
trying to teach him how to blow out his candle...
but it was all for naught.

and he wouldn't even eat his cake

He shook his hands a lot though, and
 frosting flew everywhere, that was exciting!

He sure is a handsome little guy.

Daddy spiked up his hair.

Twinners!

and he entertained everybody with
his dance moves!

He got lots of fun presents,
but I think he enjoyed playing with
the balloons the most.

Happy Birthday Qyntn!

I wanted a picture with my baby boy on his birthday
and asked one of the kids to take it.
This is what i got. 

3 Years and Counting...

For our anniversary Ben gave me this ring and asked if I would love him for another year.  I can do better than that...I'll love him forever.  Happy Anniversary Ben!  Thanks for the beautiful ring, for giving me Qyntn last year, and for being the best husband a girl could ever dream up!  

Double Date

Last night Ben and I got a baby sitter and went on a double date with Nick.  Well, it was supposed to be a double date...but Nick ended up flying solo.  We still had a blast!  We drove to Diamond Fork near Spanish Fork to the Three Forks trail head and hiked 2.3 miles to some natural hot springs.  It was pretty sweet.  I'm not a fan of cold water, so this was the perfect little spot for me.

2nd Graders!

Alyssa and Holly started 2nd grade today.  Their teachers this year are Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Kawala.  Mrs. Wells seems especially nice and fun, I think it's going to be another great year!

Fuller Family Reunion

This year the Fuller Family Reunion was held at Faragut State Park near Coeur d' alene, Idaho.  I have to admit that when I heard we would be camping I wasn't all that excited, but I knew the kids would love it, and they did.  They loved sleeping in a tent, they loved all the crafts and games that grandma and grandpa prepared.  They loved the wave runners and the lake.  Most of them loved frisbee golf and they especially loved Silverwood.

At Silverwood, Qyntn went on his first amusement park ride, "Dumbo."  We got Tiago to go on the "Panic Plunge," not without tears, but he did it.  We also took him and Reyn on "Tremors" for their first time (where Tiago almost lost his voice from screaming so much), and I even coerced Ayzha into going on "Aftershock."  Alyssa and Holly liked all the rides, no coercion necessary.  

The only thing the kids didn't love about the reunion were all the hornets, yellow jackets, and bees, they were everywhere!  Most of the kids got stung at least once, BUMMER.

Mining Pit in Butte Montana



Qyntn had a blast getting into everything
and eating dirt and rocks.  

Alyssa and Ayzha especially loved the crafts.

We played lots of fun games!

We slept in our nice new 10 man tent.

and played some Frisbee Golf.

Rock Stars!

Alyssa and Holly "rocked" a birthday party they went to today!
