Palm heel strike (yes he did break the board but not on that try...I missed the shot and he did it!)

Skip side kick

Broke it! Great job! I love this pic!
Carter did a fantastic job on Saturday for his test. He turned one wrong direction on his form so he has to redo his form on Thursday to pass. I am confident he will do it!! It was so exciting to see him break wood. I don't know who was more excited mom or him!

Ammon's 4th Birthday

Since Ammon's party was the last of 4 for the day: Jeff stayed home to get the rest ready and we walked into a very cute decorated house! Ammon was so excited! Good job Jeff and Nate!

Ammon's cupcakes

Birthday Boy!! Happy 4th Ammon!

Ammon believes in 3 different outfits:

1: all army guy (from Halloween)

2: These Levi's (only pair with no holes, I usually fight him to at least wear the ones with no holes) and his giraffe shirt or dinosaur shirt

3: pj's (all with Carter's old holy shoes that need to be in the garbage)

Really people I try, but decided this is a little battle to not win!!!
Lightning McQueen pj's from Mel, Mike and Amanda
New Razor from mom and dad

(Oops... this pic should have been first) Making a wish!

Ammon had a fantastic day! We had so many parties it felt like he partied for his birthday all day long! Thanks for everything everyone!

Does this mean SPRING is here to stay? Our first ride of the year...yeah!

Carter's new motorcycle that Dad just has to ride first!
A little to big...don't ya think?

Carter's first time on his new bike!

By the end of the day he was jumping!

Carson on the little yellow motorcycle... the kids were loving not having to share!

Nothing better than a rootbeer and dirt!

Excuse me!

The kids found a lizzard and he became the pet of the trip!

Elise and Tina

Carson taking a quick break for some chocolate...mmm!

Elise, Ammon and Nathan doing what kids do best... get dirty!

Our little pet lizzard for the day!

Carson's only crash! "I'm ok!"

Nathan loving the lizzard! We played with him until he wanted to play hide and seek... and we never found him again. Probably gave the poor thing a heart attack!

Yes... mom did hold the lizzard! Isn't that a requirement for a mom with all boys?

Nathan is all boy and loving his new friend!

Ammon wanting to hold him, but when he got on Ammon he threw the poor thing!
