We went to the Air Show at Hill Air Force Base and it was spectacular! The kids and I have never been so it was really neat! And tons of people were there!


















Konnley had fun taking tons of pictures of the bombers,


parachuters, and stunt planes.


























We had fun checking out the cool planes and posing for the camera, well at least Jaden liked posing!
















Sorry, Jacey & Jaden, I think you have to be taller to go on that ride!





















That is some missile!























Helicoptors rock!








I hope I never see her behind a machine gun again!
















































Jaden is ready to join the army now..... I don't think so!!





























Here is a preview of mass destruction by a big boy with his big toy!


























Here is a decent looking house, untouched by the crazy ideas and major destruction that the Tippetts' always seem to start on a perfectly fine home...





















The grass is green and lush.......not for long!

Oh and the backyard is average not to much going on....not for long!


























It really could use some work so let's get some huge back-hoe and tear it up!!









It took a ton of rocks and fill dirt to get rid of the slope.

















Oh I hope they don't have the keys!






















Kelly had a great time playing in his back-hoe! The girls and boys took turns too. Kelly had a blast taking out the old patio, stairs and leveling the yard.















Soooo glad to see those old stairs go, they were so ugly!




















As you can see the front yard has been destroyed by the dump trucks that unloaded all the rocks and dirt. The sprinkler system was terrible to begin with so we didn't even worry about watering anything - it was all going to go out eventually! Sorry neighbors, we didn't abandon our home I promise!























Kamryn, Jacey and their friend Hayden are inspecting the dirt pile. They all ended up brown and dusty!














Wow! It looks like someone has been using dynamite!






















We cut down 28 trees that were either dead or going to die (quaking aspens don't last long). And sad to say a peach tree that was smack in the middle of the yard! Kelly had fun using a chain saw! It was a ton of work and a ton of firewood too!











































































It has been a buisy year!



Just about done clearing everything that was old and overgrown off! I have a new respect for those that work in landscaping and do their own sprinkler system! Hopefully in the spring we will be finished with curbing, a new fence and grass seed! Wish us luck!!!

Summer days & Sleeping Beauties


























Well, we finally chopped off that long hair! She looks so mature with shorter hair. She will grow it back in not time! It makes summer a lot nicer with short hair and I don't have to hear her wine about it when it is time to brush it!






















Just hanging out while it is still nice weather. Kamryn dressed herself today, right down to Jacey's dress shoes! I love it when they play nice together.









The kids got ahold of my camera and took this picture of Kamryn... most of the
other pictures didn't work out. I love pigtails!
Cute little sleeping beauties!! I love the sleeping pictures!











Birthday's & Bunnies!!!


Here is Jaden celebrating his 8th Birthday! We had a few friends and we went bowling!









He got a huge dragon that is a glider and a bionicle as well as the Wii Mario Kart! Too fun!


















Kamryn is not a little baby anymore!
She celebrated her 3rd Birthday along
with Jaden and the family! She was very excited to get a little mermaid polly pocket doll and of course a giant oreo cake!!
















Jacey had a fun 5th birthday party at home! We colored pictures and played games and decorated cupcakes!
From left to right there is Ethan, Mylie, Mckenzie, Jacey, Brooklyn and Kenzie. Wow at least there was 1 brave boy!








Gorgeous Pictures!!










Opening presents is always fun! Especially when you get polly pockets and lots of other girly things!










Thanks everybody!!











Wow, blowing out 5 candles now.... this is getting to be quite the job!










Loading up on lots of sugar!















Everybody got to take kites home and party favors.













I'm ready to go fly a kite.












Sweet shades! Jeff is not afraid to join in.
















What a cool crowd! You all look like movie stars! There is Emily and her 3 kids, Brooklyn, Jase and Kenzie.






Wow! I can't believe my girl is 5 and going to start kindergarten!
Here is the proud grandma with the birthday girl!



Konnley wants to write about their pet bunnies:
One of the black bunnies names is licky. you can tell when he acts like a dog
and licks you.
The other black ones name is milkshake.
the brown ones name is browny because he looks like one!


Our 2 adult bunnies, which we thought were both boy bunnies,
one day had a litter of 9 babies to our surprise!
Only 3 survived even though we tried feeding them all
with a dropper and dog formula! We didn't think the mother
bunny knew what to do, but she eventually started feeding
them, but only the 3 strongest ones survived....




They are sooooo cute and really soft! They are great pets
that do not make a sound and like to eat carrotts from your hand!
They are growing super fast and are already almost adult size!
