Summer of 2009

2009-07-15T13:45:00.000-07:00

Here is just a run down of our summer time fun. The first 3 pictures are us camping up Beaver mountain at Kents Lake with our friends the Duncans. The next 3 are of our family vacation up north. Payton, Dallin, and Tatum were so cute riding a train for the first time they had such a blast. We had so much fun hanging out with our friends and family. We got to take the girls to the Manti pagent which was alot of fun, except for the mesquitos. There was no pool at or motel so we let them play around in the tub. Layton park was great, the kids got to feed ducks, and geese and then play on the playground. We also spent time going to see the open house at the Oquirrah Mt. Temple which was amazing.

This summer was also spent in Cedar of course, going to Ashlie's softball games, fishing at Yankee, running through the water, hanging out with family for birthdays, going to the park and cheerleading. There was some down falls though, Camden did have to go to the dentist to get some work done. Her mouth was numb forever but having her try to smile was the cutest thing ever. Now you know why I haven't updated much, we have had so much fun this summer with everyone.

Slacking on the job.

So I know I have been off for the summer and should have plenty of time to update this but I'm such a slacker. I'm spending a week up north so when I get back I will add pictures to show you what we have been up to. There wont be much on the whole summer cause I don't wanna back log on everything.

1st Digitgal Camera

2009-05-06T12:14:00.000-07:00

So this is what happens when you give two pre-teen girls their own camera. Adam is very good at entertaing the girls, even if he has to dress up to do it. What a GREAT dad!

Not as innocent as she looks.

Look at this cute little face. Would you believe that as we were sitting taking the missionarie discussions Payton ran out in front of everyone butt naked yelling that she had to pee. The missionaries weren't quite sure what to think about that. Luckily when kids are younger they hold themselves when they have to go so the only got to see the "behind" view. Isn't potty training fun.

Easter

2009-04-24T09:00:00.000-07:00

Easter was so much fun. We missed our usual trip to Moab but we had a blast being home with the De Witt's. We colored eggs, spent time at Red Cliff's and went to a few good Easter Egg Hunts. Those uncles are a big tease, but I love having them around. I loved having the extra days out of school and being able to spend my time with the girls.

Warm Air FINALLY!!!

2009-03-25T11:01:00.001-07:00

The weather was perfect. It felt like the first official day of Summer even though it snowed a week later. This was part of my week off of school. Payton , Camden and I spent the day at our friends house. We ate lunch and played out side all day. My friend has 2 little boys the same age as Camden and Payton and as you can see as much as they pick on the they can hold their own. I think Skyler will think twice about pushing Payton again.

Enjoying The Spring Air

2009-03-24T09:13:00.000-07:00

The other Olenslager's were down visiting so we decided to take a day and go to Red cliffs. The hike was easy enough for Payton and Camden. On the way to our destination there were many fun things for the girls to do. From climbing up caves with holes in them, to walking through the river, and hiding in an old hollow tree. The 2nd to last picture is of Ashlie conquering her fears. Adam, Matt and the oldest three girls were going to go on the hike a little further while the younger kids played for a bit, in order to go on they had to climb over this little part of the mountain. If they fell they would land in a pool of water below. Ashlie wanted to go but she was to scared to climb over, she finally sucked it up and made it. I was so proud of her for being able to do that.

New Stuff coming

2009-03-23T11:34:00.000-07:00

Just finished a wonderful Spring Break. I will be posting a few of the fun things that we did with in the next couple of days.

Birthday Party Bash

2009-02-27T07:37:00.000-08:00

We try to go to all of our friends parties. The girls had so much fun playing musical chairs and hitting the pinata.

The cheering goes on.

2009-02-27T07:12:00.001-08:00

The older girls had a chance to cheer at the SUU womens basketball game. They did very well. First are a few pictures before and then I tried to add a video of their cheer and dance routine. Im not sure that it will work. The last pictures are of the girls and Adams parents watching the game. I'm so glad they were ablet to come and support the girls.

CHEER Time

2009-02-20T09:32:00.000-08:00

This was the girls first cheer performance. They cheered at Canyon View Highschool for the craft fair. Kylee is usually the base of the girl who gets to do cartwheels and roundoffs in front of everyone. Ashlie is the flier. Being little like her dad she is easy to throw in the air and to hold up. The girls practice hard and I am very proud of them. On Monday the 23rd they will be performing at the SUU basketball game and coming up in May they will be trying out for the competition team. Both girls have been chosen as cheerleader of the month.

More Summer Time Fun in 08'

2009-02-20T09:01:00.000-08:00

These are just fun days being outside. The first picture is the four girls at the soccer field park by our house. Ashlie is in the second picture chillin' on the grass waiting to go see sound of music at Tuachan. This time we took grandma. The next picture is one of my favorites.
Camden and Steven were climbing in a tree at the Canyon park when this happened. What a shot. I figure if they ever get married we can use this as their wedding announcement. The other picture with Ashlie, Kylee and thier friend Desiree was also at the Canyon Park. The picture of Kylee and Camden with the slip-n-slide is at my sisters house in Syracuse. I love going up there to visit her and her cute cute boys. I only wish she lived closer. The next picture of Payton and Camden is at the Discovery Park in Cedar City. My sister had came down to visit so we spent the day at the park to let the kids get some energy out. My brother Tyler and my sister in law Robyn also came down. The kids love playing with those two. The last picture is of my brother Tyler on that same day, I'm surprised I got the shot in the air. I'm not very skilled with my camera.

Memories of 2008

2009-02-20T07:20:00.001-08:00

Fishing at Yankee is one of our favorite things to do. This is Payton and Naki, one of my friends little boy. This fish was the only fish caught that day by none other than Ms. Ashlie. For our first family vacation we took the girls to Cherry Hills, it was a blast. The girls love being in the water and didn't want to leave. The next picture is of Adam, Kylee and Ashlie going down the tube track which they repeated many times after. Being so close to St Gorge is awsome. As a treat for the girls I took them and one of their friends to see High School Musical down at Tuachan. Adam was not about to go so we gave his ticket to Camden which was a great idea. My friend Ashlie and I took them down, we went out to dinner than showed up early to get the best seats in the house. Being the "Early Bird" that I am we were first in line. The next to pictures are pictures of our everyday summer lives. I try to take the girls to the park or at least let them play in the water every day. We love to be out side. The first picture is of Kylee, Ashlie, and two of their best friends Sami and Savannah. We were just in our front yard having a blast. The second picture is down in St George at a man made river located by the temple where we packed our lunch in coolers and spent the day. Talk about fun.

I only wish I new about this river earlier in the summer instead of finding out about it at the end. First thing I plan to do

this year when its warm is head straight down there with the girls.
