The Ice Cream Man!!!!

Oh, the sound of that truck coming down your street!! Run....

Hide your cones...Dad is coming!!!! "Come on Dad, thats mine"

Little Father Face is what we call her around here.

Good ole Slip N Slide

School Play

The 6th graders have been working very hard on their play Macbeth. Shelby's part is the doctor.

All Done Bath

I wanted to take a picture of Clover after her bath because I have a picture of each of my kids as babies in their towels after the bath.

Clover 7 mo.

Shelby 5mo.

Connor 5 mo.

Shelby With Her Trainer

Shelby goes a few times a week to a trainer at a orthopedic gym, which has some of the best training in the valley. They work on her running and sometimes when she goes it is all pitching that she works on. Here in this video they have her at a 35 percent incline.

Fun in the Sun

I was watching the news yesterday. They said that Utah has rained 18 out of the 22 days so far in June. We are so sick of the rain!!! Today was a nice break. It was about 80 outside. We went on a picnic today and after dinner we went to the pool. Clover loved the water.

Next summer I am going to teach Clover to swim. I taught Connor to swim at age 1.

Poor Jack the fish-poor Connor

Last night as I was laying in bed, Connor comes into my room. He has a look of pure sadness. I knew right away what had happened. One of Connor's fish was floating. I confirmed to Connor that the fish had died. Connor was so sad and was so upset. Connor is a very sensitive boy. He cries every time at ET and at the movie I am Legend when the dog dies. If he even thinks for one second that he may have hurt Clover he cries and cries. We buried Jack the fish in the garden last night. Connor dug the hole and he put the fish in. Connor put some flowers on top of the grave. This morning, Connor had tears in his eyes again as he walked out the door for school.

Shelby Off to Softball Camp

Shelby in her dorm room.

With her new roommate- they are the same age (both turn 12 this fall). Shelby is so excited, because all her friends that she made last year came back this year.

I Spy Clover In The Garden

Inch by inch, row by row,
Gonna make this garden grow,
Someone bless these seeds I sow,
Gonna make this garden grow.

I know a place where the sunlight beams,

And the cherry blooms burst with snow,

And down underneath is the loveliest stream,

Where the little Clovers grow.

PEEK-A-BOO, THERE YOU ARE!

What have the Coltrin's been up to?

Not much! It has been raining so much here. When the clouds break and the sun plays peek a boo- we try to get to the park or something like that. Clover got sick again last night, runny nose and fever. Mason has been gone for work in San Diego for a week. Monday, Shelby goes off to BYU softball camp. We have been getting her packed with labels on all her stuff. Today Mason bought her a new cell phone. She will take mine with her to camp, and when she gets back, she will have her first cell phone waiting for her. She is so excited. Her friend Sara (posted below) got her new phone today also. Here is Shelby- she is almost to the point where she is too mature for the park.

Connor and his friend- not to mature for the park.

"The Daycare Room"

I had to take some pictures of my daycare room, to place on my ad. I am losing a few spots in my daycare. So I just posted some of the photos just for fun. (every single thing in this room was bought from yard sales!)

Batting and Ice Cream

Tonight we decided to go to the batting cages. After we went to Cold Stone.

When we go to Cold Stone we always get one big bowl, four spoons, and we share.

Clover tried some, but she was getting sleepy.

Yummmmm!!!!!
