Keeping up with the McCarneys

Conner's 1st missing tooth.

2011-10-17T18:35:00.001-07:00

About 7:20 on Monday the 17th Jennifer pulled Conner's first tooth. She gave the threat of missing Halloween if he doesn't lose the tooth. With the tooth missing, now he is even more sad that he cannot whistle.

Black Canyon

2011-10-15T12:06:00.000-07:00

Back in August, we all met at Black Canyon as a family. Here are some pictures from there.

Peyton's surgery

2011-10-09T20:19:00.001-07:00

On October 7, Peyton had something removed from the back of his head, so he had an outpatient surgery. He is now back to his normal self, but waiting with a hungry, active, and tired two year old for the surgeon who's surgery before us went longer than expected was not on my list of most favorite things to do!

At the Grandparents.

Is Brooks in trouble or just hanging out with Grandpa and Grandma? Just some other pictures while the kids and grandkids at "just visiting."

Payette's Apple Blossom

2011-05-27T15:27:00.000-07:00

The kids that went had fun. If Conner wasn't on a ride he wanted to go play the games. The older McCarney's spent some money on the basketball hoop shoot for only two large stuffed animal. The scones or elephant ears were good this year like always. It was good to see Becca more than willing or excited to ride the rides. But of course it was he birthday. We even good Luke on a ride. How he fit, we will never know. Way to go Luke! Good thing Braddock only threw up on his last ride.

excitement

2011-02-02T17:26:00.001-08:00

Sometimes I wish I could get excited over some of the simplest things. Maybe that will something I will look forward to these things on the downhill side of life.

Members of the family

2010-12-31T16:05:00.000-08:00

These are pictures of almost each member of the family.

Snowman

2010-12-04T21:18:00.000-08:00

On Wednesday, December 01, we in Middleton woke up to about 10 inches of snow. Conner wanted to build his first snowman at age 4. Once it came time for pictures, Conner would only sit in front of the snowman. He wouldn't let me hold him next to the snowman. We were even lucky to have school canceled for the day.

Watermelon Champion

2010-07-29T07:06:00.000-07:00

On Saturday, July 3rd, Middleton had a celebration in which a watermelon eating contest was included. Tyler won the first heat of 3 by eating a quarter of a watermelon the fastest. To take the title of Champion, he had to beat the winners of the other two heat by eating the most of another quarter of a watermelon in 4 minutes. But it did not take Tyler 4 minutes to eat the whole thing. His prize was a watermelon, $20 gift card to Ridley's the towns grocery store, and to shake hands with Walt Minick.

Happy Birthday

2010-06-22T15:35:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Conner, the big #4. Celebrated at Silver Creek Plunge on your birthday because he wanted to go swimming for his birthday. Tyler's birthday was the next day with him turning the big 14, but he wanted to celebrate his birthday at Wahzoos all day with a friend. Happy Birthday to the both of them.

Ride anyone?

2010-05-05T17:37:00.000-07:00

Conner is practicing his driving skills, or is he practicing his 'pick-up' lines with his cousin Ricky just to see if McCarney SMOOTHNESS does work! Ladies, be aware.

Am I big enough?

2010-05-05T17:32:00.000-07:00

I don't know if I can reach the pedals yet, but at least I will try.

My new favorite picture

2010-03-23T18:12:00.001-07:00

It is amazing that kids this young can show their own personalities!

Scary Movie

2010-03-01T07:03:00.000-08:00

This is what happens when my boys are allowed to watch scary movies, they either get scared or try to act the part.

Jennifer's Birthday

2010-02-10T20:09:00.000-08:00

A little birthday song from Conner.

Christmas at the McCarneys

2009-12-26T12:14:00.001-08:00

There is never a dull moment at a McCarney family gathering because if there was, we would find a way to be entertained - right Jake!

McCarney Temple Night

2009-12-26T12:02:00.000-08:00

On December 23, we McCarneys went to the Boise Temple to do sealings for both the McCarney names as well as Mulinexs (sorry Katie for the spelling). It was a special night just to have all McCarneys in the same sealing room doing just our own family names. There were a lot of "M" names done. We are going to have to do this again together again sometime!

2009-10-17T10:17:00.000-07:00

Sorry this picture is a month late, but this is a September McCarney fishing trip to CJ Strike. In just a few hours in the afternoon we killed the crappie!

How hungry can you be?

2009-04-28T19:34:00.001-07:00

Must me a true McCarney - either looking for food or looking for a good time. So for those women who want to hold baby Peyton, be aware!

New Baby Boy

2009-03-30T17:06:00.001-07:00

Let's welcome another McCarney brother - number #12. Peyton Asher McCarney born 03/27/09 at 3:25 in the morning at 6 pounds and 19 inches long.

Christmas Eve

2008-12-28T15:57:00.001-08:00

Hey mom, you might want to come over here and edit what is on the screen of this laptop that has the attention of so many McCarney boys. Any guess?

Twin Falls Temple

2008-09-11T15:47:00.000-07:00

It was great to have the whole family in the temple at the same time.

Somtimes you just need to scratch it!

2008-08-06T15:38:00.000-07:00

Thanks Mekhi for just taking care of business when it's needed!

2008-08-06T15:30:00.000-07:00

I thought I would try to upload an image, and because these are the three best looking faces in the Jake McCarney household, I thought I would use'em! Hope this works.

Island Park/Yellowstone

2008-07-25T20:55:00.000-07:00

We (Eric & Devrea & Kids) just returned from a family reunion at Island Park. Here are a few of the highlights from our amazing trip. Hayden and Pierson loved the freedom they had on this trip. When we weren't in Yellowstone, they were at the river fishing. They became quite the fly fishermen. Above is one of Eric's rainbow trout that he caught at Henry's Lake!
We floated the Henry's Fork of the Snake River and Hayden did an amazing job guiding us through the trechorous river (let's just say that there weren't any class IV rapids...not even a single rapid and the water in most parts were to your ankles!)

The family at the Continental Divide in Yellowstone

We saw many animals on this trip...for the first time we saw both grizzly and black bear, many buffalo (of course, if you go to Yellowstone and don't manage to see a buffalo...you really weren't in Yellowstone!), deer and elk.

And of course, what is a trip to Yellowstone without seeing Old Faithful. Every time we would go by a sulfur bed Korbin would shout out "there is a geyser mom...it must be Old Faithful!" Everything was Old Faithful to him.

Us at the Paint Pots. This is my mom's favorite part of the park!

Jake and Kate had to take a rest on the sandy beach the day after the four wheeler ride up to Goose Lake.

An Overnighter

2008-06-11T07:50:00.000-07:00

It is amazing that we all could spend the night at Grandpa and Grandma McCarney and still get up and make it to church on time. Happy Birthday to those in June - Eric, Tyler, and Conner.

3 Years Today!

2008-04-30T05:45:00.001-07:00

I figured it out!

2008-04-28T08:27:00.000-07:00

I figured out how to sign on to a blog and post, I think. I will check the blog after I write this and see if it shows up. Thanks Matt for putting this together. It will be fun to share. Best of luck,

McCarney BBQ

2008-04-27T15:19:00.001-07:00

All of the McCarney boys so far except for Eric and Jacob's next one -right?

cousins

2008-04-26T15:38:00.001-07:00

Can anyone remember this line, "Brothers don't shake hands, brothers got to hug!" It was from the first movie that Eric and Jacob made Matt watch once I got home from the mission field.

As we celebrated Dad's birthday on April 15, he decided he want another "trealus." Happy Birthday Dad!
