Tegen's New Toy...

So Tegen finally got a new dirt bike. I now have FOUR dirt bikes hogging up tons of room in my garage. Tegen has been riding a 70 for the last couple of years and he was just getting way too big for it. So Tegen and his dad had to go on the hunt for the perfect new bike for him. He found it in Utah- a Kawasaki 140 blah blah blah... I don't know the details! I just know we have 3 VERY happy little boys! The Saturday after Tegen got his new bike we took them riding on some land at my parents house. Talen now rides the 50 by himself and Tray is on the 70. They all loved it and never wanted to stop...

This is Talen- he is doing awesome!
Tegen- the little turkey thinks he can already jump this bike.

Tray started doing jumps too and riding even faster- great- just what I need!

Seriously- look how huge this bike is!

After riding their gear was really dirty (from a previous ride) so Ed hosed them off- ha ha ha!

Camping at Kilgore

We went camping at Kilgore with a bunch of family and it was so nice and relaxing even though it wasn't super warm! Tess loved it too. Aunt Shan held her a lot for us :)

Our family~

It wasn't very warm so we had to keep the babies pretty bundled up most of the time- but they didn't seem to mind very much.

We had good food and lots of fun!

Tess is 3 months old... Already?

I seriously cannot believe that my baby is already THREE months old! She has been so much fun to have around. She is such a good baby!!! Ed and I keep wondering when she's going to start being naughty. I painted her toenails... he he he. I love it!

I already posted this picture but I just love it so I'm re-posting it. We took her swimming and she just loved it!

This is Tess and her cousin Creeson who is 13 days older than her. They're pretty close to the same size. It was so cute they grabbed hands for about 5 seconds. Luckily I snapped the picture at just the right time!

She spends a LOT of time in her car seat because we're always on the go! Thankfully she loves it!

I thought she looked so cute in this little dress but she looks like a chubba bubba!

At three months Tessa is still a great baby! She sleeps through the night about 4 out of 7 nights. The other nights she usually wakes up about 4 a.m. to eat and goes right back to sleep. She still sleeps a lot during the day but she's finally starting to have a little more awake time. She's an extremely happy baby! She loves to grin and giggle at us all the time. Her giggle is so funny-it's more like a grunt. She eats great but the little stinker decided that she doesn't want to take bottles or formula anymore. Darn it!!! We're still confused on her eye color. Some days they look blue-ish and some days green-ish. I wonder when they'll change to a more permanent color. I thought the novelty would have worn off by now but the boys still love her to death and beg to hold her all the time!! I feel so blessed to have such a precious little angel in our home. She has really brought our whole family closer. We love her to pieces!!!

Tray's Baptism!

We are so proud of Traysen's decision to get baptized! He has been looking forward to that day for a long, long time! He was so excited. He shows a little more emotion than Tegen does so he was super excited all morning. It was so cute how happy he was. I'm so happy that Ed is an honorable priesthood holder and was able to baptize and confirm our little boy!

We're so proud of you Tray and I know Heavenly Father is so proud of you too!

Talen's First Soccer Season...

This was Talen's first chance to do an organized sport. He had so much fun playing soccer even though we FROZE almost every game!

He's SO happy to have a medal. He's trying to impress his older brothers!

Way to Go Kris!

My Brother Kris who is serving in Iraq received another big achievement. He got something called the Iron Dragon Award. It was for a physical fitness thing that he did. He said about 200 soldiers tried for this and only about 30 completed it. He had to do a variety of physical challenges that I could never do... ha ha! After it was over he got the award by a Colonel. Good job Kris- We're so proud of you!!!

No More Pre-School... No more Books.. No More Teachers Dirty Looks....

Wahoo! Talen graduated from pre-school. He will be a kindergartner next fall- wow! He had the most amazing teacher, Mrs. Dance. She was great with the kids and taught them SO much. They learned a ton of fun songs, some Spanish, and a lot of ASL sign language. A lot of her kids are already reading and she said that they were one of the most advanced classes she has ever taught. They did great at their program!

Talen with Alex and Turner. These are the two boys we carpooled with all year. I think they were sometimes best friends and worst enemies. For the most part they loved being together all year.

Talen and Mrs. Dance...

So long pre-school.... Until Tessa gets old enough!
