kanab tourney

5.20-21.16

Brooklin's little traveling team went to Kanab for the 

weekend and did awesome!! We played for the championship

and beat the team from Ephraim. These girls are coming right

along and are so fun to watch!!! We had a girls weekend and it

was fun to spend some time with B... It was a chilly weekend

but it beats dying from heat stroke! Way to go Orange Bang!!

baseball/softball season

Well baseball/softball season was in full force this

year! Both kids played Mon-Thurs and throw the 

high school schedule in there and it makes for a busy 

few months! I felt like I was just hopping from one

field to another most nights or jumping off the bus and 

trying to catch the tail end of a game. The kids did 

awesome and they are improving each year!

Mason usually played catcher which he was beast mode at

and once in a while would pitch. I much rather have him

behind the plate!!! Brooklin was at 3rd base and did awesome!

Nick and Blue coached the boys team and 

Brooklin had Richelle Wakefield and Brian Haviland.

Their little team ended up taking 2nd place

in league. 

zion ragnar

5.13.16

Not sure how I really got roped into this,

I'm way too nice!!! Juwlz, Blue, Wade, Rusty,

Laub's, Jeremy, Kyler were a team and they are

supposed to supply a volunteer to help one shift 

during the race. Jenny was supposed to go up but

had surgery instead. So I had signed up for the Smores

Station from 8-11 pm. I headed up after work on Friday,

it was past Zion.. You actually drove through it which 

was a pretty drive but it was a long ways! It was fun

to hang out and cheer on all the runners. My brother

and Meridee were up there with a team so I hung

out with them for a bit too. I stayed over night 

and headed home the next morning!

mother's day

5.8.16

Happy Mother's Day to all the momma's out there!

I feel so blessed to have Brooklin and Mason 

in my life and that they chose me to be their mom.

Most days I feel very inadequate being a mom but

I do my best and we seem to do pretty good most days!!

I have some pretty awesome examples and my 

mom is one of the best!!! I love her so much

and so blessed to have her in our lives!!

We had a bbq at my parents to celebrate the mom's

and Nick and I's birthdays! It's always a good time 

when we get together!!!

pitch, hit & run

5.7.16

Brooklin won the Mesquite Pitch, Hit and Run

so we headed to Vegas on a lovely Saturday. We turned

it into a kickoff celebration for my birthday and 

Mother's Day. Grandma tagged along with us and we ate

 lunch at P.F Chang's, went shopping at the outlets, hit 

Trader Joe's and topped it off with dessert from 

the Cheesecake Factory. It was a fabulous girls day out!!!

jackson gets baptized

4.30.16

Jackson turned 8 this year and made the decision

to be baptized by his dad. It was a great day and

we had a wonderful celebration afterwards at

their clubhouse. I love the bond the cousins have,

for the most part they get along so well!!!

51's game

4.29.16

It was a busy evening..... From the crossfit kids

we headed over to the baseball game. Our little league

always has a night for families to go and the kids 

get to go out on the field at the 7th inning stretch.

Nick and the kids were stoked cuz it was 

Star Wars night at the game.

It was a boring game and I think I spent more

time in line than actually watching the game.

I left after the 7th inning since I had my own car!

crossfit kids

4.29.16

Coach Creer invited the kids down to compete 

at Rancho High for the Friday Night Lights.

It was so cool and the kids had been training and

were pumped about competing! The boys

just wanted to win something...

We got there a little early to check out the booths

and the kids participated to earn free stuff.

I had taken Jaci Johnson, Ashlyn Shaner,

Decker Lee down with us and they all 

did double unders for 1 min and I think

all the kids placed in the top 10.

A few of the kids also placed in the top 10

for the long jump!

The event was held on the football field and the

event went as follows: (after each yd line they had 

to run back to the end zone) 6:00 ARAMP

10 yd - burpees

20 yd - box jumps

30 yd - squats

40 yd - mountain climbers

50 yd - jumping jacks

The boys killed it and made it thru one round

and back to the 40-50 yd again.

The girls did pretty good and finished one

plus back to the 30 yd line.

It was so great to see so many kids out 

participating and being active!

piano recital

4.26.16

Tonight was Brooklin's piano recital.

Each year she improves and I really enjoy 

listening to all the students.

I appreciate Lynne for her time and patience!

It's usually a battle in the mornings to get 

practicing done but I keep reminding her

it will be well worth it. She can't be a piano

drop out like her momma!!!

observation point

4.23.16

This is just a little 8 mile hike which is a little difficult on 

the knees coming down! It was a little cool and breezy but 

we survived! Brooklin even made it with little whining...

We had a great day and the top had some amazing views,

overlooking Angel's Landing - so we were high up!!!!
