Socially Acceptable?

I didn't realize that staying indoors waiting for the sun to shine would cause my children to become socially inept. Apparently I've bred a nude (Picture not included - Thanks Gabby), a nose-picker and one who thinks everything is food!



Don't even want to know what is up there!



Ok, one for three isn't bad



Couldn't find the sprinkler, but who needs one when you can have an endless water pistol!

Running Reunion!

We had so much fun at the Sound to Narrows run in Tacoma this weekend! It was a worthy memorial to Grandma Raquel and a great way for the Tacoma Dyers and Vancouver Dyers to hook up.

Savannah and Chloe hanging around. David what are you doing back there?

Grandpa, Dad, Mom and Hyrum cheering at the finish line!

"I think I can, I think I can..." I am smiling under the brim of that hat.

We just ran 7.4 miles!

Love you Grandma!

Gabby's Special Day!

Gabriella celebrated her 4th birthday yesterday! We had a strawberry shortcake party--sooo nostalgic!

enjoying nothing other than some fresh strawberry shortcake with LOTS of whip cream!

Pinning the leaves on the strawberry! The girls kept putting them on upside down so they look like another kind of leaf! oops!


Ready for a game of red light-green light down the hall!

Her special present from Grandma!

Father and Sons

Here are my boys on their first father and sons campout! I wasn't there to enjoy the campfire, crickets and sleeping under the stars. But it wouldn't be a camping without realizing you left your food at home, your air mattress deflating, and waking up at 5 am on a Saturday. Good thing your kids don't remember those parts! Hyrum had a ball!
