EASTER EGG HUNT

Ammon had a great Easter egg hunt in the snow!
He wasn't going to let all the snow stop him from finding the eggs.

Jeff you are looking real manly in your tight running pants and your cute Easter basket!



This is Ammon hunting for eggs last year,
of course we were in Provo.
I actually think he had more fun in the
snow at Papa & Bonkin's house.
Althought he really wanted Tori
to help him find the eggs.





NOTHING RUNS LIKE A DEERE

Jeff and I were riding double today...I am sure glad I got off right before he did that.

Grandpa Sid still crazy as ever!


Kari and I sporting the John Deere Classics! They still run great after all these years. Uncle Jerry, Wes, Tony, Kari, Jeff, Dad and myself had one great ride. It was beautiful! We went on a really long ride and had lots of time to play on jumps and hills...it was a blast! Kari was the only one smart enough to bring a lunch. I was definitely starving by the time we got home. Of course when am I not hungry?

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY


Happy St. Patrick's Day!
When we lived at home Mom always made us a green breakfast for St. Patrick's day. We all happened to be at the house today so we had our traditional green breakfast. Whitney made green buttermilk pancakes, eggs, and milk. The boys really enjoyed the green food. We didn't think they would eat it but they went to town.

YA GOTTA LOVE POTTY TRAINING

I really enjoy reading about potty training experiences. So I couldn't resist posting this picture. When Ammon went to the bathroom he said "Get out...this stinks...go see daddy!" So anyway I had to leave the bathroom; when I poked my head around the corner he was enjoying a magazine. I about died laughing. He looked so grown up.

COOL PICTURE

Jeff and I enjoying an evening ride.
The sunset was beautiful that evening.

SNAZZY

Handsome!!!

Ammon got a new tie and couldn't wait to go to church so he could wear it. He has hit this phase were he wants to be just like his dad. He likes to wear the same color of tie as Jeff. Then all through Sacrament meeting he shows me they have the same shoes, belt, pants, shirt and tie.


AMMON LOVES HIS COUSINS

Chloe, Ammon & Bryson
Ben and Cadence had a little birthday party for Bryson. He got a spider-man couch and a little tramp. The three musketeers were having a blast playing on the new toys! Chloe is much smaller than the two boys but she can definitely hold her own. I love tough girls!
Ammon and Kolten finally wore themselves out after a long day of playing. We put them in my room to watch a movie and they were both out in 5 minutes. Chelle and I wished we would have thought to put them in there a lot sooner.

MORE FUN IN THE SNOW

Bryson's first ride on the snow machine!

Cadence took the boys for a spin but before she was ready Ammon showed her how to get the sled going. Cadence about went over the back!

We made a snow tunnel for the boys to play in. It kept Ammon entertained for a long time. Until he got mad because the dogs wouldn't go through it.



AMMON'S MOHAWK


It turned out to be quite the hair cut. Bryson was pretty amused by Ammon's new look. While Mom and Whitney went to workout Cadence and I decided to shave Ammon and Bryson's hair (Whitney and mom hate when we butch the boys). Anyway we decided see what Ammon would look like with a mohawk. He loved it. He got so much attention everywhere we went. When I went to shave it off before church he was ticked!

1st DAY OF 2008

It was so beautiful outside so we made the most of the day and went skiing and snow shoeing. It was so much fun. There was plenty of sun and plenty of snow.
Ammon really started to get the hang of cross country skiing.
He made it pretty far before getting a bit cold. Papa rescued him on the snow machine and they went inside for Ammon's favorite...hot chocolate!
Tony, Allie & Whitney



Jeff after a wild adventure!



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.

Jeff and Kurt at Sundace Resort up Provo Canyon


Our friends T.J. & Heidi
City Creek


Becky and Brandon
City Creek

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!
