A Rainy Day!! Fall is on its way!!!

September 1, 2008

Monday was Labor Day so we were home. We had Debi and Scotts kids stay overnight, so they could go away for a night for their upcoming Anniversary. The night before at the family party it was really raining and all the kids wanted to go outside,but since the lighting was really bad and we did not want the kids wet in the car on the way home, all the parents said "NO" the next morning it started to really rain again. So Abby, Zach and Dallin headed out. I found whatever rain gear I could find. For shoes they just wend barefoot. It was cold so I hope they do not get sick. I tried to take pitcures of them outside, but it was really dark and my camera just would not get a good pic. So we took these pics of them after they came in. It was a nice down pour and it made really feel and smell like fall. And a little winter. There was snow at the top of Timp.

Here are the boys. They were the first to come in from the cold. They are very wet.
Here is Abby. I think she wins for being the wettest. She even went out for a second "Shower"

Emma got the throw ups in the morning so she could not go outside. She was asleep the whole time. Emma I am glad you are feeling better and the next rain storm we will go out and play in the rain.

Happy Birthday Annie, Emma, Cami, Crystal and Baby Maya

August 31, 2008

Each month the Tolmans get together to celebrate birthday each month. Well at least almost each month. I think there is only two months out of the year that we do not have a birthday. This time it was at Mike(Jason's oldest brother) and Katherines house. There was suppose to be a camp out in the back yard but we were rained out. I mean really rained out. This is always a great time to get together because we ususally dont see everyone all the time since we are all so spread out and very busy with our lives. But it is always nice to know that they are always around for everyone.

Here is little Cami with her new princess ball!!

Next month there is only one birthday but we will still get togethe as a family. Something we always look forward to.

We can not tell a lie!!! We cut down Grandpa's Tree

While Jason's parents are on their mission, Zach and Jason are in charge of the yard. The front tree has not been doing well for the last couple of years and it was decided that it needed to come down. So one night they went down and went to work. The first night they cut all the branches off and then soaked the trunk over night and then hooked up a chain to Jasons truck and out came the trunk.

Zach loved doing this because he thinks it is super neat to see how the trunk comes out. They did a great job and did not break any sprinklers. So now we are in search of a tree. Jasons dad has given us some suggestions. Now we jus have to find the right one. We will keep you updated.

Here is the tree before it came down.
Zach surrounded by all the branches that were cut off.
The only thing left. The trunk.
Now there is just a nice hole. The camera was dead so they did not get any pitcures of the final project.
