Colton's 7th Birthday

It's been too long since I've updated this again so there is lots to catch up on.

Colton turned 7 on June 21. He had a luau party with his friends, then had family come over later that day. He is growing up so fast and is just so fun. He can always put a smile on our faces.

Can't believe Dylan turned 9 this April! He had a great party with his friends - he had a motocross cake and we played lots of "minute to win it games". A couple of days later we had a party with his family for his and Travis' birthday. Happy Birthday to my baby boy!

I love taking pictures of my boys. Dylan is a natural at posing for me and I am amazed at how mature these all turned out

Brian's trip to Africa

Ok so I'm trying to catch up on my blogging since it has been sooo long. I'm starting with Brian's trip to Africa in February. He went with some others from our church, including my sis and also our pastor and his wife. They went to Ghana Africa to help with the construction of a house with a Christian group called Sowers International. It was such a great experience for him. He got to see some amazing people. Here are just a very few of the pictures that he came home with. I wish I could post more!

New Years Suprise!

We arranged for Dustin and Rachel to come from Greeley, CO for Christmas as a surprise to mom and dad. Unfortunatly, they were snowed in, so we had to postpone it until New Years Eve. Mom and dad were very suprised and we had a great visit with them and the kids. They were able to stay until Sunday so we played games all night for 3 nights straight. Many thanks to Dustin and family for making the long drive up here.

It's been a long time since our whole family has been together.

The Abbott family was kind enough to give our boys a wii for Christmas. Needless to say they were thrilled. The adults had alot of fun with it too. Apparently we are quite a competitive family!
