Dallin and his bike

Dallin loves his Thomas trike, and he loves riding on the new deck. Unfortunately, he took a little spill off the step onto the cement the other day! It's funny sometimes the independence of a 3 year old, and how he puts on his brother's helmet, clothes and is so proud that he did it himself.

Jeffrey is 8!

To celebrate our Jeffrey, we all went to the new bowling alley that opened up here not too long ago. Chereon and her kids and one of Jeff''s friend and his family met us there. He also wanted a worm cake. This was my best effort at a worm cake!! It was a fun day, and hopefully he feels celebrated. Next, his baptism!

New deck progress

This is the latest on the house! This deck took awhile to pour the cement, and then figure out just how to do it, but with the expertise of a neighbor friend, it got done! I am so excited to have a front door now! We have even initiated it with a small crash of Dallin on his bike off the deck to the cement!

Fun cousins

This is a scary reality picture for me, but these are our fun cousins! We have fun when they visit. We went to the town park and had a fun day. Ethan and Joseph are partners in crime!

Ethan Tball

This is our funny Ethan! Who knows what he was thinking to have a face like this, but he is so funny! He just had his last tball game tonight and they even got medals!

Jeffrey

Here's Jeffrey's softball picture. His game was rained out and honestly so am I!!! It has been raining and raining here! Also, proud of Jeffrey for getting in there and trying!

Halee

Here's cute Halee's softball pictures. She endured the wettest, coldest game ever tonight and her team won. She was crying and shivering like none other and even felt sick at the end, but she made 2 homeruns. Proud of her for sticking in there even though she does not want to be!!!

Halee in softball

Halee is in girl's fastpitch softball. It's a little unfortunate, because this is her first year, and she had to be on the older girl's team that have been playing for a few years. She's doing ok and hanging in there though. She is perfectly fine with playing outfield. Her team is the Florida Lady Marlins. Hers is definitely the more competitive team as they have traveled to play games to Bear Lake and Soda Springs, Idaho. I'm proud of how she has stepped in and tried to be a part of the team!

Tribute to Papaw!

Jeffrey is now on the Coach Pitch little league. He is too big for Tball. He is a "Texas Ranger" and is very proud of that fact because his Papaw, my great dad, loves the Rangers. When I told him that fact, he smiled from ear to ear and said, "I won't let him down!" He has surprised us all and is doing pretty darn well. He isn't afraid to go after the ball, nor to hit. In fact, he proved us wrong. We kept having him bat right handed, and he wouldn't hit very many, he would say he wanted to hit left handed, but we said, keep trying right handed. Finally, he switched hands, and hit almost everyone! He hits every time he bats now, and he is officially a "lefty" when it comes to hitting. He was very proud of this video I happen to catch tonight at his game. Go Jeff! And "this one's for you, Papaw!"

Tball

Ethan is the only kid still in Tball. Jeffrey and Halee are on bigger teams this year. Ethan loves Tball, and he is on the "Phillies" team. He says his red shirt and hat make him look like Mario and make him run super fast! But of course, the best part of Tball is not the running, nor hitting, nor the catching, it's the treats at the end! =)
