Punt, Pass and Kick 2012

Thomas listened carefully as his big lion Kyle gave him a few tips on how to punt the football.

 

Not a bad job!

Will's turn ~ the kid put his whole body into his punt!

Nice follow-through!

Now it's time to kick! Kyle was brave to hold the football!

I think Will might be the kicker in the family!

Thanks for posing nicely for the camera, but let's try this again.............

Nope, not much better!

Kyle literally had his hands full!

Overall it was a fun night for all of the Lions ~ big AND little!

Eagle Mt. lake (Part 5) Sunday Morning

 On Sunday morning we did a little photo shoot with Quincy to try and get some good pictures for her baby dedication slide show at church.  These are just a few of my favorites!

Big sister Kirklyn decided to get in a few of the pictures with Quincy.............

 And Gus couldn't wait to share his monster truck with the girls.

 Kirklyn lovin' on Quincy ~

 Quincy returning the love by grabbing a hand full of Kirklyn's hair!

 3 Little Monkeys playing on the stairs.

One last partial group shot.  Thomas, Gus, Will, Luke and Kirklyn.  Gray, Geyer and Gustine had get an early start back home.  And I must apologize the Fritz and Gustine.  Somehow I didn't get any pictures of them, but I promise they were there!

Eagle Mt Lake (Part 3) S'Mores!

We ended the day with a cozy outdoor fire and yummy S'Mores.  I'm not sure if the kids ended up eating or wearing more, but they sure had fun!

 Gathered around Ben and Amy to load up their wire hangers with marshmallows.

 Love the look on Luke's face!

 Awww, there's his smile!

 Thomas was very intent on blowing out his flaming marshmallow very carefully.

Gray and Luke cookin'.

The expressions on Geyer and Gray's faces just crack me up!

 Martha Kate joined in on the fun, too!

I must say, of all the kiddos, Geyer enjoyed her S'More most of all!  Such a cutie!

Eagle Mt Lake (Part 2) Water + Sand = FUN

These pictures really don't need captions.  They pretty much all say the same thing: Fun times in the water and in the sand!

Eagle Mt Lake (Part 1) The Arrival

We were able to spend an entire weekend in a beautiful home on Eagle Mountain Lake with all of our Stewardson grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.  The kiddos played and played and played.  Here are a few pictures to prove it:

The girls started out the night reading bedtime stories on the iPad with Melinda.  Nice and clam and snuggly...... 

Meanwhile upstairs the big boys were exploring all of the goodies in the playroom closet.  It cracks me up how Will and Gus are side by side ~ those two are good buddies!

Will filled his bucket with sand and was determined to bring it to show me.  He accomplished his goal ~ I was impressed because that bucket was HEAVY!

Thomas haulin' water.

Gus loved watching an airplane land right on the water not far from where we were playing.  Then he had fun digging in the sand!

Gray and Luke digging for buried treasure.  Not sure if they found anything or not.

Kirklyn playing in the water

Love how Geyer's nose is crinkled up!

A view from the lake of the house where we stayed ~ so pretty!
