Happy 60th Birthday

Happy Birthday!!!!This is a video of Ben singing Happy Birthday. I had just woken him up so his little eyes were not even open. We love and miss you!

The Ear Piercing

Hey Dad,
Ashlyn has reached a milestone in her little life. She got pierced ears. She had been asking for them for a while now, and Marshall finally gave in. Lynda and I took her to the mall for this very exciting event. Poor little Ash was really excited when we left the house, and grew more apprehensive as she sat in the chair.
Here are the photos of the big day.

These videos are as the piercing got closer. In this one she is clearly having second thoughts.

Here Ashlyn is getting her surgical gloves on too.

Ashlyn is not fooled…gloves or not gloves.

For those grandparents with squeamish stomachs, this is the piercing.

This video is of Ashlyn showing grandpa her new earrings. She is still supper sad.

Popsicles & Sprinklers

Here are some photos of Ben, Ashlyn, and Kody. They are having fun in the back yard with the sprinkler. Ben has figured out a very unique way to not get his head wet. It is bucket head. They are also enjoying the popsicles!

Labor Day at the Cabin 2008

Dad,
Here are a bunch of photos and video. I have been having the hardest time uploading video, but I think I have it straightened out now. These first photos are from the cabin at Labor Day.

This is the video I shot while we were there. This one is of Ben in the lake. I took my camera out with me so I got some good shots.

This one is of Trevor learning how to dive. He was pretty good by the end of the day.

This one is of Christina and Justin doing a tribal dance. We were all cracking up!

You would have appreciated this sight. There were thousands of pollywogs that were almost frogs. We could see there back legs. Ben hated them, but they were pretty cool.
