Francom Reunion

We went to the Francom family reunion this month. It was nice hanging out with a lot of the cousins we don't see that often and get caught up. The food was great (Thanks Bill), and we got to play paintball (my first time).

Here the "Men" are getting ready for paintball.

I look pretty tough, maybe if I wore this around the house the kids would listen to me better.




Becky and Tamara resting up.

Bob and Ann should have been resting up, they were kind enough to watch the boys while we went and played paintball, they couldn't believe how busy they are. I felt bad for leaving so long and apologized, their response was "you deserve a break". Thanks again, it was a nice break;).

Bob and Ann wore the boys out for our ride home.

Father's Day

We are so thankful we have James as the Father in our family. He is so good with the boys, and supportive. He is concerned about them, and strives to do what is best for them. He also is a great example for our boys. We love him so much:).
James playing checkers with Bryant on father's day. Bryant loved it, he had so much fun, and even one a game;).


I played a more sophisticated game of Hungry, Hungry Hippos with Conner.



Bryant and James just chilling.



Latter we took a walk and the boys needed a break when we got home.

The Forgotten Post... Conner's Graduation!

I can not believe I forgot to do this post. My only excuse is we went to Disneyland a little after his graduation so I was a little busy. So back in April Conner had his first graduation with his little college preschool. It was really cute, they had them come in and sit while Mrs. Stubbs talked for a minute, and then they presented their little diplomas. I should go and find the video of them sitting. Conner and TyTy were the worst ones. They couldn't leave the balloons alone that were tied on to the chair. Brooke and I were sitting there watching it unable to do anything about it. I guess if your kids going to be naughty it's nice to have a friend right there to relate with.

Who Wants Ice Cream?

Fun evening, up till Conner accidentally bit Ethan.

First Trip to the Cabin!

We are lucky enough to have full access to the best place on the mountain Camp Jackson. James' Grandma/pa Frost have cabins and a pavilion up there. It is so fun to ride 4-wheelers, go on the paddle boats, fish in the stream or when it's warmer (not this trip) go swimming. It is so beautiful up there, every time we go we have such a fun, nice, relaxing time.

Becky (James' cute little sister) invited us and Mike's family up to meet her boyfriend Scott. He was a way nice guy, but I did think James and Mike were way to easy on him. What ever happened to big, mean, protective brothers, who think no one is good enough? I guess Scott was just too likable.

Mike and Britt's little family.

Becky, Tamara and Scott.
Our cute cousins, Niki (Skip-Bo Champion) and Tiffany (Runner-up)


Scott sucking-up by pushing Conner on the swing. Conner just wouldn't let him stop. You always score big points by taking care of the kids. Check out Conner's pants, he wouldn't let me fix them, he was starting a trend.


Aunt Becky giving the kids a horsy ride. It is so sweet of them to wear her out right before bed.
Tamara VS. James (Did I mention we have ping-pong up there).



James' cute youngest sister Tamara teaching my boys about fire safty. Back off boys she is only 14.
Ethan and Nash, Francom's have cute babies.
Becky cooking with Scott. What a cute couple of cheesers.
Ethan already has James' work ethic:).

More Cottonwood!

So I have decided you can't have too many Cottonwood posts:). Haven invited us to go with her and her little girls, Brooke, Ginger and their kids came too. It was the third time we went this year. I hadn't been to Cottonwood for years and then all of a sudden it is the thing to do. Thanks for the invite Haven.
