James' Birthday

 I can't believe that James turned 7 this week. It surely doesn't seem like that long, but he is excited about it. He got to open presents the night before because Jim was going to be out of town. He was way excited about all the new Cars 2 stuff.  The kids always get to blow a out a candle at breakfast because they just can't wait. We headed up to the Payson Pool that afternoon after swimming lessons to play with most of the cousins. It is a pretty fun pool that has lots of kid area, a lazy river and a couple big slides. It was like 7 peaks for young kids for cheap.  We had cake and ice cream after and he told me it was the best birthday ever!

Memorial Day Weekend

 The weekend started out with the Greenwood Sprint Triathalon that my mom puts on. There were about a 120 people. James rode his a bike a little ways and ran and thought that it was great.

 Angelia and Ryan did it and Camillia was a good sport in the trailor and stroller

 All the Coats Grandkids minus Will and Houston ( Carla had Houston the night before) 

 Monday night we had a dutch ovened with Jim's Family. We are loving the fire pit in our back yard.

Mary and Emma picked a ton of Indian Paint Brush off the side of the hill to go put on the graves at the Cemetery, which is my kids' new favorite place to go on walks and ride their bikes.
