I am a little behind on my blogging. We have had some very busy weeks. But to get you updated on what we have been doing: These pictures were taken when we went to Cluff Ponds, near Pima. We took our dogs over there to let them play in the water. It was fun for everyone. The boys would throw a bottle in the water for the dogs to go get. However, only Ali would go get it. Titan would not even put a paw in the water. He is such a chicken of the water. It is pretty funny. Then when Ali gets close to the shore Titan would go over to Ali and get the water bottle and bring it to the boys as if he were to one bring in the prize. Crazy dog.

The picture above is one of the pond and the mountain behind it. Isn't it so pretty.

After we let the dogs play in the water we went to a place where the boys rode their motercycle and Quad. We well had a great time. We need to do that more often.

This is a picture of Parker showing off his motercycle clothes.

Her is Ali bring in the bottle. By the way, we have two Chocolate Labs. A boy named, Titan. And a girl named Ali.

A little piece of heaven in the woods!

We are building a cabin up in the White mountains. We are really excited about it. Here are some pictures of it. We are hoping that it will be done in the next couple of months. The view from the back deck is awesome. We will post more pictures as it progesses.

The Chair!

Caeson went to the doctors office with Grandma & Grandpa Perry in Globe. While they were at the doctors office, Caeson saw a chair that he liked. Over the last month, every time Caeson would go to Globe or to the mountains with Grandpa & Grandma Perry, they would work on Caeson's chair. Last week Grandpa brought the chair home and the put the base coat of paint on Caeson's chair. Now we are going to attempt to paint a Mickey Mouse on it. We will see how that goes. He really likes his chair. He keeps it next to his bed.

It's gone!!!

Ryan says, "It is gone! But I will grow it back out!" He also said, "I feel an uncomfortable breeze!"

No!!!!!!!!!

Half was there!!!!

He's an ol' hippy, and he don't what to do!

Get a Hair Cut!! said everyone except his friends.

Short stuff!!!

Ryan is always reminding me how short I am compared to him. I am kind of short.

Hair cut day!

Wow! Are these my boys? They all look so nice. Today was hair cut day. Ryan's hair cut was the most shocking. Don't they look so nice.

A picture with Grandpa

Tevin, Ryan, Rich and Grandpa Hincha all went hunting with Ryan

Another one

He was pretty excited about his antelope! He is having it mounted.

Antelope Hunting in New Mexico

On Saturday, September 13th, Ryan went antelope hunting in New Mexico. He killed a 14 inch buck the first day about noon. He went with his great hunting guide, his Dad. However, Ryan was the one who spotted it from 500 yards away. He was excited. He shot his antelope with a 300 win mag. He made a "perfect shot" in the back leg.

First Day of School

This post is a little late, but...... This picture was taken on the first day of school, August 13 2008. Here is a picture of them all waiting for the bus. Ryan was already gone. He has to be at school at 6:45 for band practice. Maddux was so sad when he couldn't ride the bus to school with everyone else. Clayton and Charity (our neighbor kids) were outside waiting for the bus too. Tevin goes to Thatcher Elementary School and Parker goes to Thatcher Primary school. Caeson goes to Brighter Day Kindergarten Transitional School. And Ryan goes to Thatcher High School.

Drummer Boy

Here is a picture of Ryan during half time at the football game. Ryan is playing the bass drum in the band this year.

Another One!

Caeson is the scoring machine. Every game he makes several goals. I just so happened to get a picture of Caeson scoring a goal at this game.

Goal!!

Tevin is loving this time of year. It is soccer season. Tevin is a great asset to his team. He can place the soccer ball just about anywhere that he wants. Every game this season he has made several points for his team. Tevin is in 6th grade this year. He is studying hard. He is also playing the drums in the band. Tevin has developed an interest in hunting this last year, however he didn't get drawn for any hunts this fall. Tevin enjoys shooting his bow, his air soft gun, and his dad's guns (when his dad lets him). He also enjoys working with his Grandpa Perry. Tevin is a very hard worker and dependable.

Ryan "The Ripsticker"

This is Ryan. He is Fourteen. He started high school this year. We can't hardly believe it. He will be going on his mission before we know it. Ryan

was really excited about going to high school. He is taking all of the main classes that he has to take. He is also taking seminary, woods, and marching band. Ryan has played the trombone that last four years in school. However, he decided he was going to play the bass drum this year. So that is what he is doing. Ryan is very musically talented. He plays several different instruments. Trombone, drums, piano, and electric guitar. Ryan is praticing up on his basketball skills. He really wants to make the THS Freshman basketball team. He is still trying to decide if he wants to play baseball or golf in the spring. Ryan is currently working on his Eagle project for scouts. He is hoping to have it done in a month. Ryan is a good boy and very dependable. This picture to the left is Ryan riding the ripstick down the middle of the raod in Greer, Arizona. He and Tevin bought the ripstick in California and the both have fun riding it. Oh, by the way, Ryan is 5 feet 8 inches tall. He is 4 inches taller than his mom. He is really working on being taller than his dad.

Parker

This is Parker. He turned 7 on June 22, 2008. He is cute and has a fun personality. Parker is very out going and has the cutest smile. We don't have very many pictures of Parker when he is just looking at the camera and smiling. He always has to be doing something silly. (The picture to the left is not a normal picture for Parker. Notice in the pictures to come that Parker always has to be doing something silly.) He likes to play with his his brothers and his friends. Parker really enjoys playing sports. However, I think he likes to go more for the socialization part of it. Parker got a guitar for his birthday. He seems to always have it in his arms. Hopefully soon, he will be able to play a song.
