Sorry, but there is an advertisement you have to watch before their video will play.

We finally updated our blog...

I finally updated our blog. You may see our new pics at http://talesoftopham.blogspot.com/.

Hi Strangers!

Well I was reading Paul & Karin's blog and Bryan & Sarah's blog tonight and thought I would actually post something to the family's blog.

We had a good time in Utah. It looks/sounds like it wasn't as much fun as Dallas, but we enjoyed our selves none the less. If you've check out Paul & Karin's blog, you have seen pics from the Fourth. We had a lot of fun - except for Shelby (burning the bottom of her foot). Here are a few pics from our trip:

The girls got along great (most of the time) Shelby and Ali were really funny together. Shelby would say things just to get Ali going - being argumentative - then she would giggle. Karin and I would laugh at the two of them

NICE RACK!! We would take the girls on the Lagoon Trail for a bike ride (well Lena & Shelby would ride bikes and Ali would walk - she is a bit of a wuss and wouldn't ride a bike because of the hills) The park has reindeer, buffalo, camels, llamas, ostriches and more.

Our Princesses

They truely are princesses - they wanted their Caddies

Fireworks for Pioneer Day

Notice Lena's and Shelby's shoes. We made sure they had shoes on, but they took it further and booted up. They weren't going to risk anything this time. Ali wimped out altogether. She wouldn't touch the sparklers.

That covers our July. Time to rest - right like that will ever happen.

Update you later!

THANKS YOU FOR COMING!

I'm glad to hear everyone made it home ok. Thank you soooooomuch for coming. I know it was quit a sacrifice for everyone to travel so far to see our girls play. Believe it or not looking at the pictures makes me homesick for Dallas. I only wish we had been in the same hotel so we could put the kids down at night and sit and visit.

I did get our new kittens on Regan and Mike's birthday. We are having so much fun with them. The girls came up with some very creative names. Domiki - Domi for short and Makamia - Maki for short.

We don't have any pictures to add to keep yours coming. I love to see them.

Love
April

Dallas...

Sorry this took so long to get put up. I had to get back into the swing of things at work. Here are a few pics from the trip to Dallas. PLEASE add photos from your own cameras. We had lots of fun visiting with all of you. We love and miss you already.

April's expression shows she did in fact ride the short bus to school.

Everyone wonders why Paul and I ended up so odd. We learned from the master.
"Arrrr!"
Sorry girls, I didn't take many photos because Ronan wouldn't let me put him down long and when he did, I just forgot. DEAL WITH IT!
The staring contest....I think Connor barely won.

"Riders, Please take your horses to the starting gates!"

Regan had to cover his ears after hearing all the filthy words coming out of their potty mouths.
Yes, it is exactly what you're thinking....she did flip me off just after the picture was taken. Just kidding Mom!
Dad minus all the white cotton stuck to his face.
Independence Day fireworks!
Mike leading the kiddies in fun game of Simon Says.
...and then they ate him alive!!!

Hugs & Kisses, Bryan

Bryan, great job of setting up a "family" blog site. I've used it to show-off pictures of Paul and your families to the O'Neill's, but haven't taken time to go beyond that. When we get home from our Dallas trip maybe I can do more.

Is anybody there?

Maybe I should change the poll on the side to everybody. Is anybody out there?

First Post...

Well kids, welcome to the Topham's blog. I figured it would be easier for everyone to come to one location for updates. As you know we have our own blog. At times I might just put a link to our personal blog or write specific stories/posts for the family.

I invite you to make this your own. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.

Cheers,
Bryan
