PJ IN ACTION!!!

Patriot loved his cousin's slip 'n slide! He was very good too!

NO TRAINING WHEELS!!!!!!!

Patriot got a new bike without training wheels and learned to ride it on the first try! Both Mom and Dad were amazed! He's a natural.

CRASH!!!

Liberty tries to keep up with the excitement by showing off with no hands!

Father and Son on their first bike ride together with no training wheels on PJ's bike!

Uncle Ben came camping with us up Provo Canyon, and we had so much fun. Ben also bought the velcro ball game that Patriot is so gracefully demonstrating.

Patriot found an animal skull just outside our campsite...and both kids had quite the time with it!

Does this remind anyone else of Lord of the Flies?

SUMMER FUN!

Too hot to move!

Taking a break!

Playing in the sprinklers in our front yard. Rocky is trying to get out of the water and Patriot is trying to pull him in...guess who's winning?

Patriot and Rocky trying to stay cool in the summer heat!

Annie and Patriot share a snack at our family picnic on the banks of the Rio Grande

Even princesses like to climb trees sometimes.

Patriot and Sam enjoy the jungle gym at Grandma and Grandpa's

Grandma Pyne takes her turn on the slide coming out of the tree house in "our" back yard.

Uncle Aaron!

Uncle Aaron enjoys some of the "famous" Buffalo Wings that are ever popular at a Pyne event.

Birthday BBQ!

We had a big party with lots of friends and neighbors for John's B-Day this year.

Dad and Patriot went to "Big Guys, Little Guys" at the Provo Library, which is a fun carnival type atmosphere just for Dad's and their "little guys".

A boy and his dog...or more appropriately, a boy and his dad's dog! Rocky has been a very fun addition to our family.

Great Grandpa Mrazek came to visit us and finally met his Great-Grandkids! It was a short visit, but both Patriot and Liberty took right to him...and still occasionally pray for their Grandpa Mrazek.

January

Alright so January of 2008 isn't turning out any better than all of 2007; we didn't take any pictures (except for what John took in CA). John was gone at his Human Resources Sergeant Reclassification school in San Fransisco for most of the month. Patriot and Liberty met their new soon-to-be cousin Sam when Aunt Amanda and her fiance Jerry came to visit. (Sam is Jerry's 4 year old son.)

2007 in a minute or less!

Ok, so we didn't blog in 2007...sorry. Here's a quick run down of what you might have missed:
John returned safely from Iraq in April
We bought a Townhouse in Provo
Patriot turned 4
Addie turned 20 something (I can't really remember the specifics)
And Liberty turned 3!

There you go...now you're all caught up on '07!
