Our Play Room!

Byram has worked long and hard on it over the last few months, but it's finally done! Now we are enjoying family movie nights in our hide-a-bed couch and three little pigs in the kids' playhouse under the stairs. For pictures of the construction and the cute construction workers, click on the link to the left for Byram's blog.

My Little Pollocks

The night before Byram started installing carpet, we unleashed the inner artist and made a masterpiece on our cement floor. It was Alise's idea and the kids had the time of their life.

East Idaho State Fair

The kids had a great time at the fair with Grandma Beckstead and Aunt Melissa. Thank you for taking us Grandma!

Camping with Grandma and Grandpa

We had a great time camping with Grandma and Grandpa Pepper and Uncle Steve and Uncle Dave. Zadik loved helping to set up the tent and build the fire. Alise won the award for best fishermen. In a boat with four men, using her purple and pink princess fishing pole, she caught more fish than anyone else! Brenna and her mommy went nuts because there was no place I could put her down, where she wouldn't eat dirt. Uncle Steve couldn't walk anywhere without kids hanging on his feet.

Camping With Friends

We enjoyed our camping trip with Michelle and Ryan and Emily and Cameron. Great memories of hiking into our camp site with our little handcarts! The s'mores were a big hit, but rafting in the river the next morning took the cake. Especially when Ryan jumped in fully clothed to save the wandering ship.

Fourth of July

The fireworks were a big hit!

It's Finally Summer!

Ever since I put away the tub of winter things and pulled out the tub of summer things, the kids have been constantly dressing up in their swimsuits. After weeks of impatiently waiting for the weather to cooperate, they are thrilled that it is finally warm enough to go swimming.

They even got desperate enough to go swimming in the gutters after it rained one day.

Now we are enjoying our backyard with the new fire pit that Byram built, and the kids LOVE their swimming pool.

Look who is trying to sit up!

Zadik was so excited about the swimming pool that he snuck outside right after church on Sunday and jumped in with his Sunday clothes on before we could stop him!
