Ten for Tuesday - Halloween 2009

Happy Halloween to everyone!

Two happy little pumpkin butchers.

Two butchered pumpkins...not three. It seems that Emma's pumpkin got kicked in to the bushes by some heartless, punk kid. It was that or maybe it was accidentally sabotaged by a blind kid who happened to swat the little pumpkin off our steps as he felt his way up to our doorway with his cane. If it was a courageous little blind child, then I forgive you, and I applaud your efforts to live a full and happy childhood.

A cowboy and a ballerina.

Monkey.

The leaves are almost all gone, now we need to see some snow!

We told the kids to throw a big handful of leaves in the air, I was surprised to see how high they got them.

Evie had fun watching the twins play in the leaves.

Misc pictures

This is Uncle Roger and Aunt Suzanne's dog, Burt.

This is what Evie does when she wakes up. I went in there the other day and found her just laying on her belly, peeking over her crib pad while she waited for someone to come in.

Ethan named his stick-horse 'Coyote'.

Emma almost never takes a nap anymore, so I thought I should capture the moment while I still could.

We caught a glimpse of an impressive lightning storm as we headed home last Sunday. We took this picture in an empty lot by our house in Layton. It shows some lighting striking close to Weber canyon.

Lagoon Day 2009

We took the kids to Lagoon for their first time and they loved it. We were surprised by how well they handled the rides. They said their favorite ride was the Egg Drop and Ladybug ride. We even got stuck when the old Log Ride broke right before we were going to start heading up the last hill to the splash pool. We were stuck for about 15 minutes, but Lagoon took care of us and gave us 6 free ice cream cones after we agreed not to take legal action against them.

We finished the day on the Skycoaster, this was Evie's first and last ride of the day.

Nobody had more fun than Kam.

BIRTHDAY TIME!!!

We are still working on updating our pics from July.

We had a combo party for Dad and Janica.

And then Jimmy turned 2.

Bennett logged in some flying time.

Karen turned 29!!

After the party the kids were given glo-sticks to play with. This picture shows two glo-adorned cousins two-stepping it in the Cheshire's back yard.

And finally, the cutest baby in the world grew enough hair to let her parents give her a mini cream cone hair style.

Updating for July - Part 1

We did a lot of fun things in July, so here is what we did over the 4th of July weekend.

Hyrum City fireworks.

Waterfight.

Kam demonstrates proper form on the slip-n-slide.

JUNE

All of the Roane cousins.
Evie, Benny, Emma, Jimmy, Ethan, and Mason

Bet you'd never guess that they're only 10 days apart.

Benny turns 1!

Loved the cake, hated the sticky frosting.

The party was at Benny's grandpa's house and he had this fun tractor that the kids loved.

Ethan loved playing with these boys. I don't think he ever really hit the ball, but it was so fun watching him play.

One of my favorite places in the world is My parents house. My parents worked really hard and created a fun and relaxing yard.
While the kids play...

We relax.. and play to.

Gotta love Kam.

We had a new addition to the Cheshire family.
Jason and Heather had Tya Jase on June 5 (My moms birthday).

Kyndlee got to come and play with us.

When daddy gives the bath.

Emma and Ethan's silly faces.

June was actually quite rainy, but we were able to catch a sunny day.

Evie.

Evie loves reading books. She gets so excited and she can even turn the page. It's really cute.
