Figure 8 Race

 Josh had this crazy idea to enter a Figure 8 race.  The only thing crazy about it was that he waited until just a few days before to start on his car!  They were able to pull it together though in just a few days and on very little sleep.

 The kids were beside themselves excited to get to help paint it and bust out the windows.  I will have to get those pictures from Grandma.  They loved it!

 He, he, he!  Loving my new lens.  This was the boys hanging out before the race.

 The boys telling stories before the race began.

 

 Getting ready for his first race.  He did awesome.  Took third.  Wish I had a picture but he even tipped one car up on it's side.

He ended up taking 3rd place overall.  Pretty impressive for his first race.  It was a lot of fun to watch.  Not as scary as a demolition derby.  They still crash into each other, just not as much.  The boys are talking about starting a team to travel around and spend their summers racing and derbying.  It would be a lot of fun!

Everybody nees an Uncle

 One of the funnest parts of going to Marysvale this year, was the fact that my whole family was there!  It was so much fun to hang out with my brothers.

 These 2 boys need to have some kids.  Seriously!!  They are so good with my kids and my kids love them.  Especially Piper.  She loves her Uncles to pieces.

 You better watch it Danny!

 Awwwww!  Here they all come to help beat  you up.  I'm telling you, 6 kids to one adult is a lot to take.  Oh, Josh was the instigator of taking you down?  Well, make it 7 kids then.

Ha, ha!  JD got panced!

 The girls love him!

Geeze, I love these 2 boys a lot!  I'm a pretty lucky sister!

Fishing at the Bridge

The first day we were in Marysvale, we went fishing at the old bridge.  Tyson loves to fish!  My other kids, ehhh, not so much. 

Riyo, Tyson and Ashton. 

The girls decided they had enough after about 15 minutes.  They wanted to go home.



Can you see the creeper?  He is not much into fishing.  Or maybe it was just to hot.  He usually loves to fish.

It ended up that Josh, Tyson and I stayed down and fished for a a couple of hours while everyone else went home to swim. Look at those two.  Little Mini Josh and Josh!

Tyson caught his fist fish ever!  He was so excited.

Why would you want to jump off a perfectly good bridge?

Not to be biased, but Marysvale is one of the prettiest places on earth!

Privitt Bunch

 First of all.  Danny is so inappropriate :).  One of the many reasons I love him! I love Austin's face.  I wonder if he was thinking, "Am I really related to these people?"

 We all got together for a week of family togetherness back in July.  It's been a long time since we've all been together like that.  It was so much fun!

 We had to get a few pictures.  Nothing fancy this time, just something to say "Hey, we were all together!"

 Something must have been funny.  Can't remember what.

 Geez, I love these people.

 My Uncle John and his family came up for the week to.  It was a madhouse!  But, oh so much fun.  I got to meet my cousins for the first time ever! 

Look at all those Privitt descendants.  Might have to do it again next year, it was so much fun :).

PIper Rides a 2 wheeler!

 A little bit shaky at first.  Not really sure.

 She didn't really need help, just some reassurance from her big brother!

 And off she goes!  She caught on reallyl quickly. She doesn't like to turn though.

Awww, such a good picture.  One giving envourangement from behind and one riding along beside her.  She has some good big brothers!

Barbie Princess Charm School

For Piper's birthday we had her little friends over for a Barbie Princess Charm School party.

We learned howto walk with books on our head!

Adilyn, Preslie and Mylie. 

Addison has the best balance of anyone at the party!

Eva giving it a shot.

Of course, a princess must go to the ball, so we danced!

We played pin the crown on the princess, on which most of them cheated, but they had fun!

The birthday girl!

After our lessons we had a tea party!

Thos girls worked hard to earn their tiara's!

The besties!

Lot's of barbie toys and make up in those presents!  It was a great party!

Solar Eclipse

 Clear back on May 20th, we had a chance to watch a solar eclipse.  It was very cool.  Becky and I drove up to Kris's house, becuase Kannarraville Utah, of all places was the best place to witness the solar eclipse.

 The kids had a lot of fun playing on the farm while we waited because it was a process of a few hours. We used special glasses to watch the sun and Grandma had several welding masks to use also.

 Here is a shot I tool through my glasses right as the moon began to cover the sun.

 Looking good in my solar eclipse glasses!

 Tyson was the kid who was most into it. He sat and watched the sun almost the entire two hours.

 Piper didn't really care about the sun.  She was to busy playing.

It was very cool. Don't get a chance to see things like this very often!
