Kenli screamed a lot on this ride but was loving every minute of it.

Ridge loved this Dragon ride at Lagoon. It goes stinking fast and I was sure he was going to be sobbing when we were done, but he just laughed the whole time.

The kids won these glasses in one of the games. They thought they were pretty cool.

August 2011

Ridge came out of the bathroom holding this. To this day I'm still not exactly sure what happened, but the toilet seat was very broken. Boys will definitely be boys!!!

Kenli 1st Day of School

Kenli on her 1st day of Kindergarten. She was so excited to get ready and go to school.

JULY 2011

Avintaquin-- July 14-17th

This is at the top of one of our 4-wheeler rides. I absolutely love this canyon and the amazing views.

There is a pretty good bear problem up at Avintaquin and while we were all talking about the bears, Ridge thought he would just go ahead and take care of the problem. He took this gun everywhere and kept telling everyone he was shooting the bears.

Travis let the kids ride his little wheeler and this by far was their very favorite part of the camping trip. They did not want to get off.

Ridge was scary as heck on this thing and he hated the fact that his dad was hanging on the back. He kept turning around and trying to swat Justin's hands off.

Kenli loved this 4-wheeler. It took her a minute to get the hang of it but she actually did pretty well. I was nervous as heck.

Kenli's 5th Birthday

We had a huge Pirate birthday party for Kenli with tons of family. Thanks Grandma for making such a cute birthday cake.

We had a great turn out for the party. Thanks everyone for coming to celebrate this day with us.

The Pirate Crew

Zoo

Ridge loved the Zoo train and would have been content to ride it all day long.

We took the kids to the Zoo for a fun day out. They loved the Dinosaurs this year.

Ridge got this hat at the Delta Parade and would not stop wearing it. It looked pretty retarded but it made me laugh.

This is Harley my mom and dad's dog. Kenli thinks he is hers and does not let him out of her sight when we are there. He's pretty good to let her hang on him all day long.

4th of July

The usual 4th of July water fight. We always have so much fun. We were missing quite a few family members this year, so we will be looking forward to next year when they are all back.

The kids loved the Sparklers this year. This picture makes me laugh because it shows a big part of Justin's personality. Notice the blow torch in his hands... heaven for bid we could just use the normal match or lighter. Nope, a blow torch is much better!

JUNE 2011

We went camping up Oak City Canyon and it was probably the prettiest I have ever seen it up there. Everything was so green. This was an awesome spot where a tree had fallen across the river. The kids were a little nervous walking along the log to take this picture, but it was totally worth the view.

This pretty much captures how the kids look the entire weekend. That's what I love about camping. It's fine for the kids to be absolutely filthy for days and they couldn't have more fun.

Max, Kenli, Ridge

Kenli's cute little T-Ball team.

Kenli's 1st year of T-Ball. She actually did really good, but gets easily distracted by the boys and dirt. What a combination!

MAY 2011

They did a Toy Story Graduation program and Kenli's group was Mr. Potato Head. They were so stinking cute!

Kenli's Preschool Graduation. They did such a cute program and the Graduation gowns were the cutest things I've ever seen. Kenli was so excited and did such a good job. I honestly can't believe my oldest is on her way to Kindergarten!

We had the opportunity one day to go show the kids one of the tractors Justin operates. They absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave.

Ridge thinks his dad is the greatest person in the world. There is something so humbling and special about a child that idealizes his father. I'm so thankful for Justin and the incredible person he is. I truly hope that Ridge learns all that his father has to teach him. On a lighter note... Ridge thinks his dad's tractors are the neatest thing in the world, and is always looking for his dad's work when we are out on the road.

APRIL 2011

Grandma Bloomfield's big Easter egg hunt. I didn't catch Kenli on her big hunt because she was running around faster than I could, but Ridge was much slower and easier to capture.

The kids loved coloring Easter eggs this year.

The finished product!

The kids wanted to do a craft, and this is what we ended up with. They were pretty funny.

We took the kids to Jumping Jacks for a day out of the house. As always they absolutely love this place.

FEBRUARY 2011

I found Ridge like this at about 8 am. He was pretty sneaky and thought it was hilarious when I caught him. What a great, wholesome breakfast!

Kenli put these stickers on their faces and they both walked around the house saying "Bonjour!" They are so funny!

Ridge with his dad's cowboy hat and his guns. Just like his daddy!

Kenli, Ridge, and Max having a little day of dress-up. They are so funny. Thanks Grandma Bloomfield for sending all these awesome costumes from the 20 year old costume box. Max's dad Devin has a picture with the same frog head when he was about 6. I can't believe we have kept these things for this many years.

JANUARY 2011

We have been Slooowly working on the basement and always have way too much help. Who needs hired help when you have kids? At this rate we will be done with the basement sometime in the next 10 years!!

Ridge loves his tools just like his dad. He always has to have his Tape handy.

2 Years Old

We celebrated Ridge's 2 year old birthday with all the family. We had a big party and a lot of fun.
