Pool in Durango

Nash loved the hot tub. We had to drag him out of there every time. The kids played on the water slide for hours and loved it. And of course dad played "monster" with them.

Hike

We did a fairly challenging hike with the kids. I love the picture of Anni and Bo holding hands. He was scared, so she helped him down the "short cut" that dad took. The view is looking down at the resort from the mountain.

Cabin 2010

The kids had a blast this summer! They made their own sling shots and Bo learned to drive the Quad. For some reason he wore this helmet everyone he went, even eating dinner he had that thing on.

The Three Stooges

These 3 boys had a blast together this summer. They followed each other around from the sand pit to the quad and back to shoot hoops. They played with the basketballs for hours. Luckily we had one for each of them.

Lazy Summer Days

Nash's new love is the "Trampline". He says it perfectly. It is hot here in AZ and he has figured out how to keep cool.

4th of July

We had another fun summer at the Cabin this year. This was Nash's first memory of a parade and he was in candy heaven. He was shy at first, to run after the candy in the street and then he got the hang of it, he was grabbing handfuls as fast as

he could. The first picture, was funny because a horse came right in front of the kids and pooped. Maybe that was the real reason that Nash was so amazed! We all laughed so hard.

Anni's Last Day of Second Grade

Anni always amazes me. The last day of school in Mrs. Baxter's Second Grade class they had an awards ceremony. The kids in the class previously voted on specific awards and everyone in the class got something different. I was moved to tears as her teacher announced Anni's award (which I thought was the best one), the "Most Colorful" Award and her teacher explained that it meant the person in the class that was always kind and happy. I was so proud of Anni that day. She is always kind and happy. She has been given a unique gift from her Heavenly Father, she is able to befriend anyone and is welcoming to all. She also performed in the talent show and did an excellent job by singing, "You belong with Me" by Taylor Swift. I was proud of Anni, she did a great job as she sang and danced in front of the whole class. I did get this on video.

Hershal's Last Day of Kindergarten

Hershal had an exciting year this year, to say the least. His teacher, Miss. Narmont, loved informing us weekly about Hershals bodily functions. Let's see....we heard about burping, peeing, pooping, farting and picking noses . I guess that was Hershal's favorite way to get any extra attention. We made it through a whole year with only one asthma episode! Hershal showed great improvement in his first year, we are very proud of him. Hershal provides the Hall family with entertainment, and dramatic stories. He is always obedient and got "Happy Grams" every day-earning him 2.50 cents a week.

Early Summer 2010

Anni had her first piano recital. She did sooo great! I can't believe she has only taken piano for a few months. Her teacher (granny) says she is a "natural. Bo loves helping me in the kitchen, his favorite thing to make is chocolate chip cookies. Hershal and I pose at the beach in La Jolla. He is so much fun and I love laughing with him.
