2011, Week Twenty

Super cheesy grin for the last week with Grandma Denise!

Look at Dallin's terrific torpedo!

A rainy day plus a fussy Keegan equaled a trip to the bowling alley. Oddly enough, Keegan took his longest nap while at the lanes.

Dallin is such a good team player. Check out his enthusiastic encouragement to Grandma Denise.

Grandma Denise won the first game while Dallin and Orlando tied. Dallin improved his skills and ended up with the highest score for the second game. Go Dallin!

Back home, the sun came out and so did Dallin's inner dancing fiend. It might've had something to do with the shoes he was wearing.

Cuties.

Oh no! Grandma Denise and Dallin shrank and got stuck in a guitar!

Grandma Denise and Keegan had plenty of moments like this in the butterfly house.

It's been such a joy to have Ryan living so close to us.

Bet you didn't know a cat could laugh, eh? Silly Phatboi!

Grandma flew back home in the afternoon but we made sure to get in a few more quality hours of fun times with her in the morning.

Dallin took great pride in scattering the seeds of weeds.

Group shot.

Orlando + Tara

Dallin did a great job flying his kite considering the lack of wind.

Bubbles in your face!

Dallin creatively showed what he's recently learned at preschool.

Dallin must have known that Roland Garros was starting on Sunday because he kept asking to go play tennis all week.

Happy Keegan!

Another rainy day project but this one was all Dallin.

Dallin was determined to do a better job riding to the Kellys and he sure did!

Tara's birthday is next Sunday!

2011, Week Nineteen

This week was a lot like the boys faces. Smooshed full of fun!

After swimming lessons we flew to the Museum of Flight.

Something about this picture just sucks you in.

With this kind of enthusiasm, these boys could eventually become mechanical engineers for Boeing.

The role of twin rocket boosters will be played by Vincent and Dallin and Grandma Denise will be the star astronut, er, I mean astronaut.

Grandma and Dallin flying the legendary SR-71 Blackbird.

Dallin nearly met the minimum age and height requirements to ride on the 4-D Flight Simulator with Grandma. The rest of us could hear his squeals of delight. As he walked out, he looked right at us and said, " Woa!".

These boys were cracking up while being buffeted by winds up to 72 mph!

Hey look! Keegan can grab things now!

What more needs to be said about Dallin being a basket case?

Grandma Denise and Dallin decided to Run around the house.

Bubble time!

Climbing the tree on a gorgeous day.

Last day of swim lessons at the Fife pool and the boys made sure to enjoy every moment of it.

Vincent is now a level 1 swim champion! Go Vincent!

Keegan is so proud of Vincent that he pretended to swim.

Father and son hamming it up.

For some reason when Dallin roller blades, he must have a Tron disc in his hand.

Hi guys!

Such a beautiful sight on a beautiful day.

Keegan was more interested in Grandma than the sights of the Sound.

Orlando has been wanting to do these photos for quite some time and finally decided to just do them and surprise Tara when she came home. Grandma and Dallin worked on the sun and Dallin assisted in the creation of the grass with Orlando. This is one of Keegan hanging out on a nice day.

Dallin wanted to join in the fun.

Whoops! There's a baby in those clothes!

And we'll all Float On okay.

A cutie kid pile on Mommy let's her know that she's been missed.

Group hug!

What a fun outdoor activity that's not too far, doesn't take too long, is pretty cheap, and everyone enjoys? Mini golf!

Followed by a train ride for the kids.

The rest of us weren't sure what was so funny but these three goofballs kept right on laughing.

We finally got a shot with the boys in these shirts together.

Mowing the lawn just wouldn't be the same without a little clone helping you out.

The adventurous Dallin rode his bike all the way to the Kellys! He had a pretty rough crash but to his credit, he got back on and completed the trek. Way to go Dallin!

We just love the adoration that Shayla has for her Father in this picture.
