Skiing anyone!

Last week Rich went to get Ryan some new shoes. Ryan told Rich, "Dad, I need size 14." Rich told Ryan "No way". Ryan said "No, Dad really!". Rich said "come on Ryan". so Ryan tried on the 14's. Rich checked them to see of they fit. And they DID! We think that it is unbelieveable that he wears such a big shoe. Above is a picture of Maddux's shoe next to Ryan's new shoe.

Ryan has grown so much the last 6 months. He is 5 feet 9 1/2 inches. He has grown about 5 inches in the last 6 months. He has grown so fast that he has stretch marks. His goal is to be taller than Degen (my brother) when he gets hoome from his mission in May. So we will have to see.

Time for the Park

Here is more of what we have been doing. My brother Jason, has been working here in Pima the last couple of weeks. So he has been staying with us. Last week his boys and Aubrie came down during their Fall break. All the boys had fun playing together. On day we went to the park. They had fun playing ball, riding scooters, and playing on the playground. We didn't stay there too long, two of the boys pooped their pants. But it was fun while it lasted.

The picture above is of Tevin and Maddux. The picture below is Conner.

Maddux!

Isn't he so cute?!!! Maddux is so fun. He loves to talk. He talks really well and he likes to talk all of the time. We got a new puppy almost a year ago. And he still tells everyone, "I got a new puppy!". Now, everyone has heard him say that so many times that every ones response is, "Is your puppies name Ali!" Maddux says, "Yes, Ali girl!".

Maddux has the cutest smile. He can light up a whole room with his smile. His latest thing is: When he does something wrong he says, "Oops sorry Mom, my dad!" instead on my bad. We are so glad he is a part of our family.

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.
