Hair cuts

Well, this is Christopher's 3rd hair cut, but the biggest one. I got out the clippers this time just to even things all up. He looks like a little boy now. I'm going to have to find the picture we have of Damon's first hair cut, I think they look pretty similar.

These two are of Damon, so similar!

Swimming Lessons

Last week was the end of our swimming lessons for the boys. We are having a reunion at 7 Peaks next month, so I wanted to get them ready to play. We had our neighbor friends take them at the same time, so it was nice to have them there. They both did really well. Damon cried and hated it the first day and a half, but after that kept asking when swim lessons were and was very distraught over the weekend that he had to wait 3 whole days before he could swim again. Tyler did well, but didn't like being cold while they had to sit and wait for their turn on the steps.

Yesterday, Saturday, we went swimming as a family. The boys loved it and would have stayed longer, but mom and dad were cold :) We now have 2 little fishes instead of boys.


They were lowered off of the diving board.

Datwyler Family Reunion 2010

Well, it's reunion time. This year the Scott Datwyler Reunion was held at my Grandpa Fish's Cabin on Smith's Mesa near Virgin Utah. It was great to see my siblings and their children. My boys of course had fun playing with their cousins and running in the dirt. There is a playground set there, so we spent a lot of time climbing and going down the slides. Tyler got the most scratches and slivers, but he was a trooper and didn't complain a bit.Christopher started the trip with a cold then passed it to Tyler and Damon while we were there, oh well.

We played Bohnanza and visited and ate lots of yummy food: pizza, dutch over chicken and potatoes, homemade Root Beer, pancakes, egg mcmuffins, lasagna and more. The boys did a hike and the girls painted a cute wooden picture frame for our 'alone' time. My mom made a special picture video of all of our families. She spent soooo many hours working on that, thanks mom.

We all had a great time, here are some of our pictures:

On the way to the cabin we had to stop for two groups of cows being herded.
This is Damon gathering these little fuzzies from the trees and then he would crash them into each other and have them explode. Boys!
Doug of course enjoyed shooting a few hoops.
Keep climbing Tyler.
Chris-
We had a pinata to break that the kids and adults had fun with. We all got one or two whacks and we didn't finish until Grandpa Fish gave it a final hit.

Mom with Christopher and Linus, being a great grandma as always.
Mom gave all the kids these heavy sand-filled snakes along with a video movie about them that she made herself.
Damon had his birthday while we were there. We had already celebrated at home, but we had saved some presents for his special day. Happy 5th birthday Damon!

We went to Aunt Yvonne's and Uncle Kim's for church and to take family pictures. We checked out their animals after lunch: goats, chickens, pigs, rabbits, cows and probably more that we didn't see.
We had a great water fight, even us big kids joined in. I got you dad!
Here are all the grandkids: Christopher, Linus, Tyler, Stefan, Sierra, Damon, and Claire. Grandbaby #8 is due in August.
It was a great reunion, thanks for all the fun everyone.
