24th of July!!!!

On the 24th of July Ryan took the boys on a hike up Bells Canyon.

Sam couldn't believe that he could see downtown from Sandy so good.

Later that day we went down to Lehi and went swimming with our friends the Finlinson's.

Then we went to the Finlinson's house for a bbq and fireworks.

We played an Oreo game. You have to start out with an Oreo

 in your eye and who ever gets it in their mouth first with out touching it wins.

Flaming Gorge

A couple of weeks ago we went to Flaming Gorge again with our friends the Williams. It was a really short trip only two days, but we had a great time. We ate and ate and ate. We had a great time we rode the tube, the wakeboards,  the airchair, water skied, rode the Razor, and 4 wheelers.

My four cute boys.

Some of the group

Ryan and Will. Poor Will had goopy yucky eyes the whole trip.

Will was out numbered. Will, Sage, Ruthy, and Olivia.

Jack acting like his Uncle Ashton again.

The last night we were there we were all out talking and this mouse kept coming out over by us. Next thing we know Justin is gone and comes back with his BB gun, then off goes Ryan to get his. Brian asked Justin don't you have another one. So Justin, Ryan, and Brian all had BB guns and Travis was on flashlight duty. They ended up getting the Gross Little Thing.

Brian, Travis, Justin, and Ryan the mighty hunters.

The Gateway

A couple of weeks ago the kids and I went with some friends to The Gateway and played in the water.

We had a great time. It did rain on us a little though. And a gust of wind came up and blew a table umbrella up onto the second level. But the sun came back out, and the kids had fun.

Will loves to say cheese.

Sam, Jack, Will, Logan, and Sage.

I loved watching him play.

I love all of their faces.

My cute boys.

Grandma June's 80th Birthday!!!

On June 12th we had my Grandma's 80th birthday party. It was suppose to be outside at a park by a lake, but of course it rained most of June so we had to have it at a church instead. We still had a great time.

Grandma June with some of her siblings.

Will singing Follow the Prophet for my Grandma.

All of the Grandkids. It isn't very often that we are all together. And it is kind of hard to get a bunch of crazy adults to all smile at the same time.

Lisa and Cristy were going for the cheerleading pose, so I went in for the splits.

Tony also trying the splits.

Some of the Great Grandkids!

My Aunt JaNene, Grandma June, Uncle Chad, and my Mom.

Sam's First Triathalon!!!

A few weeks ago Sam did his first Triathalon. He did such a good job. He was pretty nervous because he didn't quite know what to expect. But he did great especially since he didn't even practice.

He doesn't have the best form but he did it.

Look at that Lean Machine!!!

Ryan ended up running with him.

Way to go Sam!!!

BaSEbaLL

We have stayed very busy lately. Sam and Jack have both been playing baseball so we had games 4 nights a week plus practices in between. Sam's team did really good this year they were in the Championship game and ended up taking 2nd. He had the same great coach this year, and several friends from school on his team. It is so fun to see the team as a whole get better throughout the season. Ryan coached Jack's team this year. He did machine pitch again this year. Jack had a few school friends on his team too.  And Little Will loved going to watch his big brothers play, he loves watching any sport. But his favorite this was getting a Push Pop from the Snack Shack, and I am pretty sure Jacks favorite thing was the Snack Shack too. Jack always had his pockets full of pennies to spend at the games.

Sam was a good little hitter. He was the first at bat so he was able to steal home a lot.

I love their cute uniforms.

Jack is our cute lefty.

Will with his Push Pop!!
