CHRISTMAS 2007

The boys out having a typical contest.

Ammon got scared because he thought they were trying to hit him with the snowballs.


He got a cool rig from Santa.


Ammon loves to get his picture taken.


MT. BIKING IN THE FALL

Kristy took one nasty spill. She went over the edge of a drop-off! She is
lucky she had a helmet on because it took the brunt of her crash. Luckily she
had Becky and Brandon with her. It is nice to have a nurse and a soon-to-be Doctor on a Mt. Bike trip.

It was a beautiful ride up City Creek. We had the fall leaves to look at and the
trail was covered in leaves. We also had cool fall temperatures to enjoy.




WE WENT FISHING AND ALONG CAME A TORNADO

Jeff caught the first fish of the day.

Then Ammon wanted to catch one and couldn't and he wasn't to happy about that.

Then along came a tornado...we were out on the wild waters. Papa Sid struggled with the wild waters as we tried to get back to the dock without filling the boat with water.


Then we finally got home safely and the power was out.
Luckily, Jeff caught a fish so we threw it on the grill and had a candlelight dinner.
What a day!



TINGEY REUNION

I couldn't resist posting this picture. Becky was learning to wakeboard and she got her feet turned the wrong way. You can tell by the expression on her face what happened next.
We were able to enjoy good water at Bear Lake in late August. We had a great time!

WE MOVED AGAIN

Ammon likes to dress himself...no joke!
The yard came a long way in about 5 weeks. We had to remove thousands, and I mean thousands of weeds. Next we put in a cement pad. Then we had to put in our sprinkler system and smooth out the yard. We built some burms and added some cool rocks from the farm. After that we planted our grass. Once it was up, we planted about eight trees that we transplanted from the farm. It is good to be done and now, knowing my luck, we will move in 3 months.

Taking a break after a long days work.


We were so happy to finally get to mow are yard
after many weeks of hard work and planting the grass.



That was not a fun day! If we move again we are going to hire
someone to put in our sprinkler system.




Jeff and Ammon finally got a break from manual labor and
moved alot of dirt around and created some burms for out trees.




We put in a cement pad with the help of Papa Sid and his hunting buddies!






SAN DIEGO

Zoo Nerds!
Watch out Mom!!!

Having a great time on the beach!



Grandma with her two favorite boys


Hanging out by the USS Midway!


We had an absolute blast at Sea World! I think Cadence was having
more fun than anyone there. She was acting like a kid hopped up on sugar.
She even mooned us on the sky tram as our two carts passed each other.
Whitney has digital proof.

FOURTH OF JULY

We were in the parade!!!
Ben's Ridge Runner

The day before the parade the fire department sprays
all of this foam all over the park. We had a blast!


We went to Bear Lake after the parade and had a great time water skiing and wake boarding. It was a perfect day. Really warm warm is always an added bonus.


We are enjoying the fireworks out on Bonkin and Papa's driveway.

Darin and Natalia brought some fireworks for us to enjoy.

FARM BOYS

Ammon is picking rocks in his very own field.
Ammon and Bryson acting important!

All Business


Tough Guys!
We spent a lot of time in Soda working on the farm.
Ammon loves to ride in the tractors and he loves picking rocks.





KANGAROO ZOO

Me and Ammon
Tori, Jackson & Ashley

Aunt Mel & Tori

We had a blast at the Kangaroo Zoo! It had all sorts of blow up slides , obstacle courses,
and tramp like toys. Ammon had just turned two and was going crazy. I still can't believe
how brave he was. The adults were even going crazy. We were having a blast on the
big slide. Ammon's first time down he went head first because he watched a big kid do it
right before him. He plunged down the slide before I could even reach him.

PERKS


Jeff and I got to travel with the BYU Golf team to a tourny in St. Goerge. It was
great; while Jeff was at the course working I made myself comfy out by the pool for
two days straight. Ammon was with my folks so I just slept, did a little reading, wrote
in Ammon's journal, and played in the pool. It was absolutly fabulous! We also got to go
golfing on the Entrada Golf Course; it was amazing. While we were there they were filming
High School Musical II.

AMMON'S 2nd BIRTHDAY

Tori, Ammon, Cosmo & Bryson
Cosmo hanging out with the fam! Granny & Grandpa Brown and
"Bonkin & Papa" Cellan all braved the crazy Utah traffic and came down
from Soda. Ben, Cadence and Bryson came from Boise. Kari came from
Farmington and Todd, Ashley, Tori & Jackson cruised over from
Highland. Ammon is pretty lucky to have a supportive family.
We had a great time and Kari made Ammon a chocolate roll! It was delightful!


He had a great birthday party because he had lots of family around and lets

not forget about Cosmo. Ammon was pretty upset when Cosmo had to leave.



TWO PEAS IN A POD





These boys are definitely "two peas in a pod." They love doing
exactly what the other one is doing. Bryson is Ammon's cousin and they
act like they are brothers. Bryson's birthday cake was made of chocolate
and vanilla Zingers. I have never seen two boys get sick so fast!
