child labor

The kids had been begging to get the pool set up....

So I told Mason he needed to mow the lawn 

before we could get it out. The lawn got mowed,

pool set up and ended the day with an ice box!

school's out for the summer!!

The end of May we had our softball banquet

and the girl made this candy poster and signed

a ball for us coaches! We have such a great

group of girls right now.....

School was out the first week in June and we've been

non stop!!! We hit graduation to see our favorite seniors

off to their next adventures in life. 

We had Jackson, Addi and Kendall

for a sleepover the last weekend in May while

Kasey and Meridee went to Vegas for their

anniversary. We had to go try out the new

splash pad and it was kid approved by these monkeys!

The kids started swim team and golf the week after school 

was out and both were playing on all star ball teams. 

Brooklin went to her first volleyball camp at the

high school and loved it! Coach Barnum and the girls

taught her so much and she had a blast!!!

memorial day weekend...

Friday we headed to St. George,

Coach Creer and I did the midnight 5k

and got our usual 36mins. I swear that course

is a little further cuz our gobbler 5k is always 

faster!!! Oh well, we went and finished which

is always a good thing... Considering I haven't 

ran in a really long time!!!

We stayed at my parents that night and had

Kneaders for breakfast on Sat! We watched 

softball and didn't do much but hang out.

On Sunday I had to work at the hospital and 

then in the afternoon we headed to the mountain

and met Hughes', Dalton's and Lee's up there!

I was really nice when we got up there

and then the storm rolled in and it rained and rained!!

Just when we thought it might let up some, it

started to rain some more. We managed to get our tin

foil dinners cooked and then we decided to pack up.

I wasn't leaving until I cooked a smores so I stood

out in the rain and roasted my marshmallow!!!

Nick and Brooklin rode the rzr home and I 

was in the truck with Mason. I had no idea where 

I was going and missed the turn to the main 

road so we went 4 wheeling with the trailer

hooked on! It's always an adventure with us!!!!

my little artists!

5.21.15

Brooklin and Mason both had an art piece that 

was selected to be in the art show at the 

city's art museum! Mason's self portrait even

made it into the local newspaper.

Brooklin's piece was a tree house!

triathlon time..

5.19.15

It was the big day.... The day PE kids look forward

to all year long! Luckily my kids don't get too nervous

or worked up over the whole thing. Nick was trying to 

pump Mason up and get him excited for a repeat and

Mason said, "I already have a shirt, I'm good!"

Oh that kid kills me!!! Mason did awesome

again this year... Decker was ahead of him the 

entire way until they hit the pool and Mason

caught him. So they had a repeat of last year,

Mason 1st and Decker 2nd!!!!

I told them next year, they need to cross

the finish line together!!!!

Brooklin came in 21st!!! I was happy she didn't 

stop on her run and did her best... We all know how much

we love to run!!!!
