JULY 2008

The Tenney Camping Trip







As you can tell our boys were SO excited to go camping! They couldn't wait to get there.


Almost the entire time Dax & Nash played in the Rangers and on the 4-wheelers. They were truly in heaven all day long!


Sometimes I truly wonder what Draycen is thinking-


My niece Cali is just such a cutie. She really helped with Dax especially when they were in the water.


The place we went had a little stream just right there and the kids loved playing in that too.


Mutt just enjoying the beautiful scenery....and peace and quiet. :)


Mutt will be so proud of me that I put this picture of our dog Rookie on our blog. He loves this dog and I am just NOT a dog lover.


I couldn't believe how much mischief these two got into. It's like without having to say a word they know what the other one is thinking and they just go with it. It was so cute though.


Poor Mutt had to give rides ALL day long! But secretly I think he enjoyed it.


Not only the little ones enjoyed playing in the Rangers- Cannen loved it too.


Cannen didn't want anyone sleeping at the campout!




How proud is Cannen of his marshmallow??


The kids enjoyed playing some games too- here's Draycen with Cali & Cutter.






Dax and Nash caught with their pants down! Whenever one had to pee the other one had to too. Every time we turned around there they were peeing together!!




Dax begged Mutt for him to take him on a ride...they were gone forever and he was asleep by the time they got back- I love this picture!



The Green Jump Suit!!
So there is a story behind this green outfit. It's been one of our boys' famous camping outfits for a couple of years- we think it's hilarious and Dax truly loved this thing. In fact he still asks if he can wear it now that we are home. Obviously I don't let him but he was so proud to wear it.





So since Dax loved this green suit everybody started calling him "Coach". He thought that was the coolest name ever- and guess what?? It stuck!

Cutter, Draycen, Cannen & Dax just so proud of their fish!

Happy 4th Of July!!



We were able to spend our 4th of July in Show Low this year...it had been a couple years so it was exciting to be there with family.




Mutt's mom's side of the family did a float to honor the old supermarket they used to have. So Mutt, Cannen & Draycen were in the parade. I watched it with Dax.








After the parade we went to a picnic with Mutt's family at a pond. The boys had fun on the little canoes.


Draycen would not let me take a picture of him...so this is the best I could do.


We went to my sister Kory's house to watch the fireworks.


We had a good 4th of July and we are so glad we got to spend it with family.


Poor Dax

This was like the first real injury that Dax has had- so I had to get a picture of his little scratched up nose!


Mutt Turns 30!!

Mutt's favorite cake is from ColdStone- "A Cheesecake named Desire" So I had it brought to the restaurant for a surprise!!


We can't believe Mutt is 30 years old- we still feel so young!!


For Mutt's birthday I had a surprise party at one of his favorite restaurants here. I had several of our friends meet us at the restaurant and Mutt had no idea until we walked in and they shouted surprise!! I think I really got him!




Then we celebrated his birthday with our boys!!



Can you be Darth Vator and Superman at the same time?? Dax seems to think so!!

More Breakers Fun!!







Dax just had to have these turtle goggles-




We seriously did love going to Breakers this summer- we made a lot of good memories there!


Draycen & Cannen got their equipment for football and I think Dax was just as excited as they were. Of coarse he had to try it on- in fact I think he had to before Draycen got to!

Painting Our New House!!

So we are finally able to get into our house- after all the paperwork ect. The first thing we wanted to do was paint the ENTIRE 3700 square foot house. I mean we painted every single wall in the whole house. It was so much work. But we are glad we did it. Cannen seriously is such a good painter. He helped us out a lot.


Of coarse Dax had to help too. And believe me he was a big help!


Another beautiful sunset in Arizona courtesy of Cannen. I don't know why but our boys love taking pictures of the sunsets. This one was taken from Cannen's bedroom window.

Our Boys Crack Us Up!

We sometimes get all our boys in the tub at once to make it faster and I made them pose for a picture and this is what they did.


When we were packing up our house to move our boys were so nice and really just found their own things to do because we were so busy. They were playing war and were in hiding...I looked over and they were all 3 poking their heads out- so I just had to get a picture!
