September is almost over...

We had a great summer, and can't believe we are already starting fall. We are looking forward to going up the canyon and seeing the changing leaves, general conference, and preparations for Halloween.

Anilyssa is now four months old, and I thought it was probably time to get a few updated pictures of her. It is funny how with each child life becomes a little more busy, and pictures become a little less. But memories continue to grow strong.

We have loved having three children, and it is so fun to see how they love each other. Here are a few more pictures of some fun activities we have done recently.

Four Months old!!

Sunday Naptime

Helping Grandpa with the grill

Date Night to Trafalga

Matt and I decided it was time to make more fun memories with our kids before they continue to grow up too fast. We had a blast at Trafalga riding race cars and playing miniature golf. It was the first time taking the boys golfing - Brenden won with a score of 50+ and Nathan gave up on the club and just enjoyed rolling the ball and also throwing it. Mom was able to teach them how it was done by beating Matt by 7 points. :) We are not competitive at all in our family. We will just say that Mom got some lucky shots, and the penalty shots killed Matt because he kept underestimating his own strength.

Back for more with Taryn and Brooklyn

Motorcycle race

Brenden and Nathan take after their mom when it comes to animals. WE LOVE THEM!! We went on the perfect day when they had animals to pet and ponies to ride. It was fun watching them have fun!

Our fighter pilots

It's been a fun and busy summer!!

June

This shot describes it all...Ann Marie surrounded by her four boys all the time. We all enjoyed the Manti Pageant and the Provo fourth of July Parade this year.

Fun in the sun at the St. George house

Everyone loves Grandma ... good thing Grandma's always have room for more on their laps.

Tanner and Anilyssa are exactly one month apart, but Tanner has surpassed her in size. He is all boy, and she is all girl.

Brenden and Nathan learned how to swim with floaties this summer, and that has been so fun to see!! Here is our little shark swimming at St. George.

Our bathing beauty at one and a half months old. She was smiling when we left the hospital.

Lots of places to explore. This is on our hike to the hidden pinion. :) You will miss it if you don't know what you are looking for.

Thanks to Ben, we got to go rock climbing

Nathan and Uncle Greg.

Nathan is now our big two year old. It was fun to celebrate with all of our cousins.

August

We got to go visit Uncle Clayton and Aunt Jenna up in Liberty. They were surrounded by beauty and a lot of fun things to do. Thanks Clayton and Jenna!!

All of the crazy boys in Grandpa's van. On the Toone side there are 8 nephews and 2 nieces, and we are just waiting to here the results of another one on the way.

Daddy and Anilyssa going for a drive on the four wheelers.

Grandpa Toone with Brenden and Jeffrey

Our two cowboys have been in love with horses ever since this day. They also love pretending that the are "Spirit - stallion of the cimmeron" making the proper neighing sounds and galloping.

We enjoyed a beautiful day on the boat with all of the Tingey's. Grandpa was brave and let everyone drive - including me. I think I was more scared then the kids. :)

Matt has only gone skiing twice, and each time has gotten up on one ski and the wake board. He is amazing!

Our Gilligan

Also this summer, we had a lot of superheroes running around the house. Brenden and Nathan also love being Tarzan, but we thought we would shield your eyes :)

Best Friends always and forever.

Anilyssa is growing so fast!!

Anilyssa has two protectors, three mothers, two boys who tease her and love making her smile, and a lot of people that love her. It is fun having a little pink in the house.

The end of a long and busy summer.
