our five week colorado vacation

so the only time i can talk Tim into doing family pictures is when he is deployed or going to be deployed, because at that point he rarely tells me no, lucky for me. I am probably awful cuz I totally take advantage of that most useful knowledge.

Mia may look like me but her personality is all TIM
Ellie has gotten so big so fast, she will be one year old on August 21st, CRAZY
Kyle and Lahna are my toothless children right now so at least they match.

roller skating was fun and not just for the kids. Tim never left the ring for two hours, he skated the whole time, even the kids took breaks.

but he did live out some purposes while skating he finally got kayden to join him. He loves kids so he was in his favorite environment.


going out to the cabin was nice, It's just goes to show that if you make the right friends it pays. and he company wasn't too bad either. (ha ha)

I know my kids could hike all the time they love being outside with the rocks and trees

and then we took the kids the boats paddle boats, they couldn't understand why we had to stop after a while cuz it was so fun, but of course that was because they weren't the ones who had to do the paddling

all three of them together, i am pretty sure it's for life, but we rarely get documentation so I am glad we make them take pictures.

we really missed having Todd and Tom with there families here, maybe next time.

Tim has always been the tallest in the family and had a hard time admitting he had to give it up to Troy who has obviously passed him up.















we had so much fun and I would like to thank everyone who came out for kyle's baptism and birthday. This was such a big deal for him, and to have as many people come as we did, it was perfect.

I would like to make a note that Tim's sister Tiffany made the cake and she would gladly make any ones cakes for them for a small fee, she is very talented.

the family reunion was so fun, I am so glad that Tim's family has those, My kids has so much fun they are still talking about it.

this thing at the park was so cool, it was like a jungle gym that spins like the merry go round













I loved seeing christopher,lance and Zackary, and Jennifer's Wedding was so perfect, I wish I could have spent more time with you guys.

Lahna loves to dance, she was just going to town here at home, after she got home from dance camp before. but if you notice she is standing in front of the T.V. , she also likes to watch herself dance as well. she is so funny, but quite talented,

See if you can find me in the first two pictures. Kyle, Lahna, Mia and Ellie see if you can find me. This was the GWOT Trot we put on, a 10K. I placed fifth overall.

FAMILY FUN

Here at the Wilson house, we like to dance. So yes that is what this odd display of movement/posing is.

Kyle who did not want his picture taken was hiding behind my bed, I took one anyways.

The kids had field day last week, and tug of war between each grade was the main event this year, due to the fact that a class from each grade would get to keep a trophy in there room for the rest of the year and next.

The kids have all informed me that it is "a real solid gold trophy"

MIA enjoyed herself as the most popular around the big kids, cuz she sings for everyone and she is little

Ellie enjoyed herself, because she ate everything, even the grass

Lahna had her first dance performance this year on stage for a school event.

Due to my mothers request, she would like to see her daughter more, and my best friend Kristy who says it wouldn't hurt me to smile. So the pictures of me are in honor of them, and of course it doesn't hurt to remind my husband what his wife looks like. So I apologize in advance that I am not a photogenic person

My kids all have lots of character, and sometimes multiple personalities, but they are a blast and Ellie is growing so fast, we rarely see her in a lying still position anymore

I am not taking her toy away from her as much as I know that is what it looks like. She is just moody.
