2nd Class

Ty earned his 2nd class in Boy Scouts. He is now a Star. Way to go Ty!!!

Oil Change Time

Zack taught Ty how to change the oil on the truck today. Ty got a little messy. They had a fun father bonding moment. :) Reed wanted to help also.

Happy Birthday Ty!!!

Happy Birthday to my "Teenager"! I cannot believe he is 13. We had a busy, busy fun day. Ty and Lori wanted whip cream with there crepes. I pulled a Grandpa Barlow on them. :) :) Having a little fun. :)

Celebrating Ty's Birthday

Reed and Andy were having fun. Reed keep bring out more and more to play with Andy. Thanks Andy!!

Ty wanted a strawberry cake this year. He even had strawberry swirl ice cream. Our cousins came over to have cake and ice cream with us.

Riding Bikes

Reed wanted to ride Bryn's bike so bad. So Ty took him on a ride. It's been raining and the kids went out to ride between the rain. I love that my kids love to be outside.

Glasses

Lori and Bryn now get to wear glasses. Such cute girls!

Avon Boxes

Reed and Bryn love to take the Avon boxes and play cars or train. Bryn usually is pushing Reed around the house. Reed of course always has a ball in his hand. :)

Baseoccer

As long as Reed has a ball or bat in his hands he is happy. He is our little lefty. He already has the form and all. Watching his older brother helps a little with that.

Trying to get better

So my new goal is to start getting better about sharing our family events again.
So you will have to bare with me. :)
I will be back tracking a little.

Waiting and Waiting.....

So two weeks ago I was called as 1st coun. in the YW's. Zack is 1st coun. in Elders. Zack has his meeting every Sunday right after church for 40 mins. I will have my Presidency meetings right after his for 1 hr. every Sunday. Ty had BYC then fast offerings today. Today the kids were waiting for 1 1/2 after church to go home. Ty's meeting was WAY long.

So now we pack a lunch and eat it on the grass at the church waiting for Zack then he takes the kids home.

Well today it was too cold to eat outside. So car is way messy and Reed is climbing everywhere. He finally has started wearing his sun glasses. :) All of our kids have now worn these glasses.

He is so handsome in them. :)

My Baby is 18 months!!

When I woke up today I came out to the family room and this is what I saw. How cute are my boys!!!

Reed is growing up way too fast. Today he is 18 months old. What a joy he is. Love you two!!

Emily's Baptism

Matt, Susan, Emily and Jack Gaines

Girls gave Emily her baptism towel.

Elder Kinghorn, Emily and Elder Newey

What a GREAT experience our family got to have by having Emily take the missionary lessons in our home. We are so glad that Emily made the chose to be baptized. We appreciate her and her family.

Following our Daddy

Well our girls are following in Zack's footsteps or should I say "Eye Looks". Both of our girls will now be wearing glasses. They both are farsided. Lori has 1 astigmatism and Bryn in both eyes. Lori will be wearing hers doing homework, reading, computer and watching TV. Bryn will be wearing hers 24/7.

Lori is way super excited and Bryn not so much.

When I told Bryn she can get purple glasses she felt tons better. We found some with butterflies and that was all she needed. She is doing tons better now.

Lori of course picked pink, she loves the small jewels on the side.

They will be ready in week.

Butt Board

We have a skate board that is a "Butt" board. Bryn and Lori love to ride it down the driveway. Well today Lori had a friend over and he was pushing Bryn a little too fast and she now left skin on the street. She is still so cute though!!!
