TEAM TINGEY

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Usually I don't like to go boating until June around these parts. This year our friends were really eager to get out to the lake in May. Jeff was on cloud-9...he loves the water...even if it's only 52 degrees!

All I have to say is dry-suits are amazing!

Jeff is sporting Matt's dry-suit. He was having so much fun in the freeeeezing water. When he was all done he took the dry-suit off and he was dry and warm. So with a little persuasion....

I bring you Super Dork!

I decided to give this bad boy a try. I was able to wakeboard in my clothes and stay completely dry!

We also made Jeff get in without a dry-suit or wetsuit.

What a great way to spend the evening!

POMP & CIRCUMSTANCE

Jeff just graduated with his Master's degree in Athletic Administration. He has worked so hard these past few years. Holding down a full-time, super-busy job and going to school. I don't know how he has been able to function. Some semesters he was was up until 2:30a.m. just about every night. Then he would wake up at 5:00 a.m. to go workout. I seriously don't know how he managed that kind of sleep pattern. He did it without complaining. Way to go Jeff.

I sure LOVE this handsome, hard-working, caring, talented, outgoing, helpful, understanding, devoted, adventurous, happy, hugable, genuine and spiritual man.

Congratulations daddy...we are so proud of you!

COUSIN PARTY

My sister's boy just turned three so Bonkin and Papa wanted to have a little pizza party for him. Six cousins and three best buddies equals one wild birthday bash. Nine kids under the age of six was quite the entertainment. They all had such a good time together.

Big eaters! These two little ladies can out eat the boys...NO JOKE!

You gotta love the mess chocolate cake makes.

It was so funny to look in the rear view mirror and see so many kids.

Burks decided she needed some rest and relaxation from all the commotion. I walked into my room and found her with the ear buds in and she was trying to figure out how to turn on the music. I got it turned on for her and she stayed like this for about five minutes. She usually doesn't hold still for five seconds.

A FEW GOOD PHOTOS

Jeff's cousin got married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple in April. While we were waiting for the happy couple to come outside we snapped a few photos of the kids.

My favorite

My handsome boys

My beautiful Burks

So happy together :)

SPRING SPORTS

SOCCER

Ammon loves soccer!

After he scored he started doing this little number!

BENGAL TRIATHLON

We did it!

We were lucky to get a nice day for the Bengal Tri. We have had a cold and wet spring so it has been difficult to get on the bike. We have yet to go Mt Biking...FER HECKS SAKES! I need to get on the trails. Sorry about that little side note. We are hoping to get some warmer and dryer weather so we can get in some good rides before the next triathlon.

GRIZZY'S GO TO SUN VALLEY

This year we finally got a girl's trip planned. We all headed up to Sun Valley for three days of eating...no joke! Have you ever planned a trip that revolved around food?

Heading up Bald Mountain for a fancy lunch. You should have seen all the heads we turned as 18 classy Grizzys paraded through the base of the slopes to get to the gondola!

Sassy Grizzys!

Quite the group! We are lucky to have such a beautiful, fun, outgoing, classy, happy, loving GRANNY!

We started off the meal with some delicious cheese fondue!

Yummy!

Alexa and Whitney cooking their own lunch!

Granny was a scared Grizzy riding the gondola.

Granny and all the moms :)

Did I mention this girls trip revolved around food! We had to top it off with the chocolate fountain.

We had such a GREAT time! I can't wait for next year!

ALREADY SIX

Our sweet little guy six short years ago.

He has brought us so much happiness these past six years.

So excited!

The twins and Papa are waiting for the party to start.

Ammon's best buddy gave him a sweet kite. They can't wait for a windy day...oh wait a second...we have wind EVERY day!

If you wonder why Kells is so skinny....He is not overly interested in food! He has free range to dig into the cake and he would rather stare at Ammon's new fish (Disco). Burklee currently weighs three more pounds than Kellan...yikes!

Ammon wanted an aquarium cake for his birthday so it was only fitting for Bonkin and Papa to get him his first pet. I am glad he didn't want a dog cake :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINS!

Happy Birthday Kellan & Burklee! It has been a fast two years. They have blessed our lives so much in such a short time. We are so grateful and count our blessing everyday. They have been such a fun and crazy adventure thus far.

Brother loves sister so much!

They were both so fascinated with the candles. We ended up watching them blow them out about 10 times.

Kells was extremely excited every time he blew his candles out. Uncle Tanner had to quickly pull the cake away each time so it wouldn't get demolished.

Who needs a fork?

We told Kellan to give sister kisses...he looked at her...thought about... then said yuck! He didn't want anything to do with the pink frosting.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

The traditional green breakfast...yummy!

Ammon loves to have our green breakfast...yet he never really eats anything!

The babies didn't know what to think about it!

PORTLAND

Jeff and I traveled to Portland with the twins for the women's Big Sky Basketball Tournament. It was a fun trip because we got to do a bit of everything. The kids loved riding the streetcar around downtown Portland. We especially enjoyed spending time with Kurt. We also got to hang out with Chris and Wendy and their four kids and we were able to spend a little time with Grandpa and Grandma Tingey.

He was loving all the attention he was getting while wearing his new hat.
