Ultimate Water Slide . . .

Randy and Toni invited us over to their house to enjoy their huge water slide. McKay had such a fun time. What a fun toy.

Here is Brynlie and Coleman going down the slide at the same time.

Ryker and Brynlie enjoyed playing in the pool at the bottom of the slide.

Mom and Dad went with me to watch the kids. Randy was so kind to invite us over. He has such a beautiful backyard.

Here is Lacie, Kaden, Natalie and Brynlie watching everyone. All the kids are so cute.

Preschool . . .

McKay was so excited for his first day of preschool.

He sure loves to pose for the camera.

What a cute little guy.

New Bathrooms . . .

We remodeled both of our upstairs bathrooms. They turned out really nice.

This is McKay and Faith's new bathroom. I love the colors.

This is our new master bathroom. I love the blue walls, so I chose a pumpkin color, light brown and white for the towels. It looks really nice with the shower curtain.

Family Barbeque . . .

Brad and Cathy were in town, so we got together for a barbeque over at Dad and Mom's house. Unfortunately Randy and Toni, Chris, Cameron and Whitnie and Ryan's family couldn't come, but everyone else had a nice time together.

I sure love Brynlie and Coleman. They are cute little kids and love being together.

McKay loves playing with the kids. They are closer to his age.

Brynlie loves playing in cupboards, closets, etc. She is such a sweetheart.

Funny Boy . . .

McKay and the girls love to dance. He kept itching his eye, so it got pretty red.

It seems like all children love to sit in laundry baskets, McKay included. He and Faith also like to play in the basket together.

Our Patriotic Cutie . . .

We had a wonderful 4th of July. We had a barbeque with McKay and the girls. Steven grilled his yummy hamburgers. In the evening, I took our oldest foster girl to my parents house to watch the fireworks.

Balloon Fest 2009 . . .

I took the girls to see the balloons launch for the 4th of July Freedom festivities. It was a gorgeous morning, they were good to get up early.

I love this picture because the sun was just coming up.

Pigs really do fly.

Circus, Circus, What a Fun Place for Kids . . .

Sean went with Steven, McKay and I to Circus, Circus. Everyone had a really good time. McKay enjoyed the time he got to spend with Sean. Thank you for going with us Sean.

McKay loves going on rides.

The boy in red was so cute to McKay. He put his arm around McKay on the ride.

Hi McKay, we hope you had a nice time at Circus, Circus.

We Enjoyed Getting Together with Steven's Family . . .

I love my sister-in-law Linda. She and I had a nice visit together.

Steven has a nice family. From left to right, his sister Linda, Steven, Dad Butala, McKay, his nephew Sean and brother Jay.

My Family on Our Anniversary . . .

I love my dear husband, he is a loving husband and father.

I love being a wife to Steven and a mother to McKay. We also really missed our foster girls while we were on vacation.

Happy 11th Anniversary Sweetheart . . .

Steven and I celebrated our 11th anniversary while on vacation in Las Vegas. We decided to order room service and enjoy a fun evening together with McKay.

Our room was gorgeous.

We had a breathtaking view of the golf course from our window. Too bad we don't play golf.

Steven and McKay having a good time together.

McKay loved his ball and the hat that Grandpa Butala gave him.

We Love Grandpa Butala . . .

We arrived in Vegas on Friday the 19th and went over to Steven's Dad's house. McKay had a lot of fun playing with Grandpa Butala. Those two had a good time together. We all love Grandpa Butala. Happy Father's Day.

We Enjoyed our Vacation to St. George and Vegas . . .

I love the St. George Temple. It was a gorgeous day.

McKay enjoyed running up and down the stairs.

I love knowing that families can be together forever.

We spent some time in the visitor's center.

Now, that's a cute boy.
