It's a boy!!!

We went to 16 wk appt. and found out we are having a little boy! These pictures aren't very good. This little boy is super shy and doesn't seem to cooperate with showing us his face or privates! This picture is of his man parts. Although to be honest I even have a hard time seeing it and this IS my fourth boy!

We're really excited to be having a boy! I was thinking with 4 boys and Ben we could have our self a basketball team!!!! Brylee was extremely disappointed to learn she wouldn't be getting the sister she has been praying for, for months! Boston and Logan however were happy as a clams! So I guess you can't go pleasing everyone, he he!

First Day of School

Brylee started her first day of 1st grade today. I'm super sad to have her in all day school but I know she'll do awesome, she is so smart! You are growing up so fast, love you Bry!!!

Caldwell Family Reunion

Shirley's family hosted the Caldwell reunion this year in Bear Lake (one of my favorite places!)
We had a blast spending three days at the beach! I noticed that in all my picture taking I managed not to get any pictures of Ben or myself, just kids and family...but I promise we were there! Everyone hanging out at the beach

Carter (with help from his sissy) and Boston making their homemade boats.

Here they are getting ready to float them.

Dinner at the KOA with everyone.

These are what the girls got to make. Cloth tied flip flops, aren't they the cutest!

Carter chillin on the boat

Logan got Dr. Richter's approval to go wake boarding. He was thrilled he could finally do something exciting since most of his Summer has been surgery and slings!

This boy sure loves his sister!

KOA choo choo train ride (my kids favorite) they probably rode it 10 times. It was a wonderful babysitter while we were packing up to leave!

Montana

Me and the little kids had the opportunity to go and see my Dad and Caroline. Since it was the last free weekend we had before school started we took it! The first day we went to Como Lake.

The kids swam for about an hour and then it started to rain so we didn't get to stay very long. But it was still really fun!

Then we went to Crystal Park were we dug and sifted for crystal's. We found alot of good ones including one that was the size of a softball! This is my favorite place ever!

The last day there my Dad and his wife Caroline had to work so we super lazy and just hung out all day!

I always love being at my Dad's it is always so peaceful, fun and relaxing. We get to go up in October to go hunting again and I can't wait!!!!

Swim Lessons

Brylee and Boston took swim lessons at the Roy Complex this Summer. Here is Bry are her instructor helping her do a back float. She did awesome and has started swimming tons better.

Boston did really good too!

Here he is with his instructor. Boston did an awesome back float.

All of us at the Provo river falls washing our hair.

It was REALLY cold water. We all got a major brain freeze...ouch! But well worth clean hair!! And I'm sure we'll ALL remember this for years to come!

All of us fishing at Trials lake

Carter found the last piece of snow there...of course!

We had a great time, it was fun and actually really relaxing! I hope we make this an annual event!!!

Happy Birthday Logan!

Logan celebrated his 14th birthday camping this year. He loved it!! He got a new bike!

We teased him with this hot wheels car and then took him outside to show him his real present!

Yummy breakfast donut!!!

Silly faces!

North Fork camping trip

Over the 4th of July weekend we went up to North Fork camping to celebrate Kel's birthday.
My BIL Scott brought up these awesome hammocks he got from Guatemala. They were a huge hit and the kids all fought over them all weekend!

It was super hot all weekend so we mostly hung out in the shade and either chatted or played games. On Friday we went and hiked up to a waterfall, it was beautiful. But I forgot my camera so no pictures of that.

Filthy kids!!! The water looked like chocolate milk by the time they got done...yuck!

Pretty sunset on our last night there.

We got home on the fourth so we went and picked up a couple of fireworks for the kids. They loved them and then we sat on our deck and watched everyone else's aerial fireworks. It was a fun night!
