Families are like chocolate- mostly sweet with a few nuts!

Summer Fun

This summer we started Swimming Lessons. The boys are having so much fun doing it together.

Their favorite is the slide.



Gavin is almost 6 months old. We are trying to get him to sit up.


Every Wednesday night we go to the church and play family baseball with people from our ward. It is lots of fun. Here we are practicing just with our family. We bought Blake a tee because he was having a hard time hitting the ball, and then he would get bored.

Bryan loves Baseball.



Caleb learned to say "my turn."

We even got mom to hit the ball!



To combat the rainy weather, we did crafts. This day was Indian art. Caleb got a little carried away with the markers and war paint. It was so funny.










We are excited for some more Sunny Weather!! I feel like we have been waiting so long for it, that summer is going to go by really fast.

Kindergarten Graduation

Kindergarten Graduation Today!! Bryan will be in the High School Graduating Class of 2022! (It makes you feel old).

This is Bryan with his teacher Mrs. Warren. Bryan's favorite thing about kindergarten was playing with the toys.

Here we are watching the graduation ceremony.


This is Bryan's class in the blue, Mrs. Warren's PM class and Miss Lyman's class. The kids sang songs, got thier diploma's, and then we watched a slide show of thier year in school.
At the very beginning they introduced each child and told what they said that they wanted to be when they grew up. Bryan had said "A future policeman. He wants to keep the bad guys out of trouble and put them in jail. It's a very important job. He will need police clothes and a badge."
I asked Bryan about it and he said he now wants to be a junk collector and invent things from the junk.
I can't believe Kindergarten is already over. Bryan and I are excited not to have to catch the bus anymore, or have to turn in homework. Bryan got to do lots of fun stuff and is already reading small books. Blake was sad on the way home, because Bryan got some toys from Mrs. Warren. He says "BRYAN gets to have Everything!" I told him when he goes to school he will get to have things too. "I know," says Blake, "but it is taking tooo long!"

MY CAMERA WORKS!

Waiting for the Bus. All 3 of them had to get their backpacks on. Only Caleb thought he was actually getting on the bus with Bryan.
Caleb! He is a Ham!

Blake's new bike. He likes to ride it. (except when he fell into a steep barrow pit off the side of the rode and hit a barbed wire fence. He's okay. We were really blessed)

Blake's black eye. Caleb threw a rock at his eye. Poor Blake.

Shilo's garden (one of them). We doubled this part of the garden. It was only half this big last year. This guy has gone crazy with GARDEN's!!!

Gavin's first hair cut. The side's and top were too long.

Now he looks clean cut. Now he is 4 months old! I haven't gotten his shots yet because he has had a runny nose.
Last weekend we had a B-BQ with mom and dad. It was lots of fun and a great way to start spring!!
Bruce's burger!
Shilo and Jillyn

Blake the snake and Grandpa!
Caleb and Nana!

Mom and boys. Bryan was trying to jump in and out of the picture, but we got him anyway.

LOTS OF FUN!!
I haven't had my camera because I had to order a new battery, and then I had to order a battery charger. So i haven't had my camera for 2 months. So i had alot to update. But Easter is on my old camera. I'm just glad to have it back. As you can tell i have taken a ton of pictures. So I finally could update me blog!

Gavin's Blessing

Gavin's Blessing was March 7th, 2010. We had nearly 50 people in our home for Lunch! It was crazy but lots of fun. Thanks for all the help and food that everyone brought. It was a very special occasion.

My mom with almost all her grandkids. (Tietjen and Anna Belle are missing). It is Kiri, Bryan, Blake, Caleb, Addison, and Kristie. I thought we took pictures with my dad but i don't know what happened to them.

Family Picture with Kurt and Jalene.


Shilo's grandparents: Dwight and Laverda Bingham. This is a 4 generation picture.
JaLene with her Mom, Leatrice Hunsaker. This is a 4 generation picture.
We had a fun day and Shilo gave a wonderful blessing. I haven't blogged for a while because I am still waiting for the battery for my digital camera. Thanks to Brookie and mom I have these pictures.

Caleb's 2nd Birthday!

Mom and Dad came on Sunday to give Caleb his presents. He got...."BALLS!" Caleb loves balls. He also got a new shirt that says "Birthday Boy!"

Mom and dad with the Bingham Boys. Look at Blake's face. He wanted to sit on the green bouncing ball that Caleb is on.
The toy that got fought over, the green bouncing ball. Blake and Bryan cried when we told them that it was Caleb's birthday and he gets to play with his toys first. (Sisters: does this sound familiar, "You don't have to share on your birthday,"?)


Caleb also got a Tigger ball, foot ball, and these toys. My camera was too slow and so he put it right in front of his face.

We got Caleb this harry looking ball and a monster truck. He also got a new mattress and he will be sleeping on a toddler bed now. In a few months he will share a room with Gavin in the crib.
We also bought a baby swing to put on the swing set.
Kurt and Jalene came over and gave Caleb this cute Train book.

We had Angel food cake with strawberries.
Here we are eating Cake!
Happy Birthday CALEB.
Thankyou for all who called and also sent birthday cards.

New Stuff

This is our new Table that we bought. It fits our family perfectly and still fits in our small dinning room. We got it at Kmart on Sale! We are really excited, especially because I love cherrywood.

We also bought the boys Bunk beds!! They were so excited. They take turns sleeping up on top. We were afraid that it wouldn't fit in their room because the ceiling is low, but it only has to be a few inches away from the wall.

I also bought the boys new comforters. Bryan picked a Transformer one and Blake picked "Cars," (he loves Lightening McQueen!)
