I can't believe that it's school time already.. better yet, I can't believe that I have a middle schooler... SAD HUH?!?!? I can't believe that he's that big? He is LOVING every minute of it. Hayden started 1st grade and is loving it also! The school change is VERY hard, but we are adjusting. The only one not adjusting is Ashie. He is in the deepest depression ever. He just lays on the floor sad. He walks around yelling "Bubba!!!" that is what he calls Bracken and then "Bubbie" for Hayden. It has been kind of sad to watch, hopefully he'll all adjust soon.
Hayden lost his first tooth about a week ago. He was scared to death... I can't figure out why it scares them so bad, but it does... Anyway, he was thrilled!
Yes you read that correctly! I married into a pretty fun and might I say... VERY ADVENTUROUS family. Jason's cousins and his Uncle and and his family came down to Delta this weekend to help us figure out a solution to our current basement "situation". Well, they detoured to shoot off their newly concocted "bowling ball cannon." I was pretty nervous when all of them were running towards me yelling "TAKE COVER!!!!" But after that this this is a blast. They got it to shoot about a 1/2 a mile! It was unbelievable! I serioulsy can't thank them enough not only for the fun, but also their willingness to help up with the basement. Because of them we are now on the mend! THANKS AGAIN GUYS!!!!
We took the boys up to Oak City Canyon for a bit of fishing and tin foil dinners. I thought Jason was going to have a melt down.... :) Little boys, creek, rocks..... are you getting the picture. Jason would get a nibble on his pole and Ashton would throw a rock where is line was. I was giggling, but Jason didn't see the humor in the situation. Next scenario... Jason would get a nibble and Hayden would yell at B to come see what he found up the creek.... It only got worse! Finally, he just sent everyone up stream to come eat with me. We got the hint! :) Needless to say we still had a good time. Can't believe these summer days are going to be gone already! Where does the time go?
I have 2 sisters that are SO talented in taking pics its amazing. They have an AWESOME eye for what works.... Brooke came up and I had her take a few pics of my boys. I love them. Here is a preview of my pics of my boys.... THANKS BROOKE!!!! Can't wait to get them on my wall. Both of their prices are VERY reasonable and they give you the CD with the pics and the rights to them so you can print what you want where you want... Check out the details on their sites. Hopefully I can get them here again soon!!! :)
Okay, I am hands down the worst blogger on the planet!!! Beware of blog over load... we've been busy!!!
We had some branches on our trash trees... ELMS!!! that had to come down. I hate those trees, but the shade is nice. When the branches were all down, leave it to my boys to want to be in an African Safari.... They thought they were going to live in them. It's so fun having boys and wondering what the next adventure is going to be.
Bracken spent a few days down at the SUU Science Camp. IT WAS SO FUN!!!! He had an absolute blast. The leaders were amazing and he learned a ton. He loves science so it was great for him to see a lot of "science" stuff in action. THANKS SO MUCH to all of the work the leaders put into it. They are amazing....
We also spent a TON of time this summer at the ball fields. Jason put a TON of time in with helping on Bracken's team. B had SUPER coaches and we had an absolute blast! Ask him about the $170.00 he earned in the last tourney..... OUCH to my pocket book, but SO TOTALLY worth paying up to see that smile on his face as he would TOTALLY CRUSH the ball to the field. It was a ball! He had struggled all year u WAY TO GO B! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! Ashie did pretty well too. We drug him all over going to the games. When B would get up to bat he would yell "Go B". It was pretty cute. The whole team also got to be celebs in the parade. They had a great time trying to "bean" people with candy... The whole experience of All-Stars this year was GREAT!!!
4th of July is always at hit around here. Here are a few pics of the kids on their gators and bikes. They got to decorate them all up and head down the parade route. It was super fun to see them riding on by. Fireworks next... ASHTON was a maniac... He loved the sparklers. He would yell "MORE" when his was done. It was fun to watch him.
Summer in a nutshell..... Can't believe it's over....
