Pinata Fun


Here is that video of Tanner breaking his pinata...Pretty funny.

Bear Lake and Max's Birthday Continued

We made a visit to the Minnatonka Cave near Bear Lake. It was great fun we just didn't know it was going to be below 40 degrees in there and that we would be inside for over an hour. We found some towels in the car before heading in and the boys took turns sharing them while we were inside. All in all, it was way cool in every sense of the word.
I think this is Max again on his second attempt. Tanner got out on the tube too but I couldn't find a picture. I think Brian's cousin let me take a picture with his camera so that one is not available quite yet.
The breaking of the pinata. We finally had to put it on the ground and let the boys have at it with no blindfold.
Ali looking cute after a day on the beach.
Max posing with his pizza cake. I can't believe he is six and getting ready to start 1st grade this year. Where did all the time go?

Fourth of July, Bear Lake, and Max's Birthday

Max had his birthday while we were at Bear Lake with Neal's family. He requested a pizza party so this is my attempt at a pizza cake.
Max also wanted a pinata for his birthday so we had a lot of fun trying to make our own. It was quite messy but they turned out to be pretty strong. I'll have to post a video of one of the boys trying to break it. They really had to go to town on them. It was quite the scene.
Max's first attempt on the tube. It didn't go too well. They fell off right from the beginning. It took a lot of coaxing and persuading and whatever else to get him to think about it again. Max finally decided that once he was six he would be old enough to try again. Good thing he turned six the next day!
Fourth of July festivities included face painting. I stood in line, for what seemed like forever, waiting to have someone paint the boys faces. Eventually, I gave up and realized that there were areas where you could do the face painting yourself. This is Kaylin's face painting attempts. I thought she did an excellent job. Max loved it. The twins had super hero masks painted on them. I guess we didn't get a picture of them. I'm sure you can imagine just how cute they were.
Our family tradition at the Provo Balloon Fest. We get there a little late this year. The balloons were already way up in the air by the time we arrived. Oh well, we made it there nonetheless and even got donuts afterward. That's all that mattered I guess.

Max and T-Ball

T-ball ended about a month ago but I thought I should at least post a picture of his last day as a Mud Cat. It was a crazy season. Although we missed quite a few games due to vacation, the swine flu, bad weather, and forgetfulness it was all worth it in the end.
