Sharing... 

Aren't friends the best?! 

After football camp last Wednesday, we went over to Gretchen's Mom and Dad's house for a little dip in the pool. It was so nice and refreshing. As you can see Landon is missing from my pictures, because... he had a bit of a meltdown and had to be picked up by his Father. He learned a big lesson that day. (Be kind to others.) Lets just hope he remembers it! I cracked up at the pool picture, it looks like the city pool. I think we all have followed the council to multiply and replenish the earth! Good Times.  :) 

SUSC had a Flag Football Camp. They boys went from 9:30 - 12:00 each day. They had a lot of fun making new friends, hanging out with old ones, and learning a little about the sport of football. We all are looking forward to Football season coming in September!

Father's

It is the last day of June, so figured I had better hurry and pay tribute to the great men in my life before the month is over! Father's Day is always a busy one at our home. We have so many great guys that we need to see, it is almost impossible to fit it into one day. This year Gavin's Dad Dennis had all the Frei Family come to his new home for a fun BBQ. Nick brought his guitar and played while the dinner was grilling. I think Grandpa and Grandma Frei really enjoyed having a lot of their family around them. Dennis really knows how to throw a party, he had steaks, and chicken plus shrimp skewers that were really good. It was fun for him to have a new home that will fit our whole family. All the kids can go downstairs and play ping pong and rough house while the adults can enjoy each other upstairs. It worked out great and was a good time.

We then headed to see my Dad. I love my Dad and don't know what I would do without him. Even today he saved my life, my car battery died last night. We figured this out at 10:00 pm while we were trying to leave Katie and Ken's house. Gavin left for Nevada at 6:00 am this morning, so my Dad met me at their house at 10:00 am today, took the battery out, replaced it with a new one and sent me on my way. Man, what would I do without him. He dropped everything he was doing and came to my rescue. I love him so much. 

Back to Father's Day, our last stop was to Ken's house. We are so happy, he is doing so well after his stroke. He is completely back to normal and going go get the little tiny hole in his heart fixed tomorrow in SLC. We are praying everything goes well and he can be 100% in a few days. We truly are blessed that he is here today. 

Last but definitely not least is the Father of my children, Gavin. The boys and I made him breakfast on Father's Day. They had a lot of fun, helping mix the Orange Juice and set the table. I want Gavin to know, he is a better Father than I even imagined. He loves each one of them so much and really spends quality time teaching them important life lessons. I love him and hope he had a great Father's Day, because I loved spending the whole day with him.  

Little Fish

Landon and Preston love when it is time for swimming lessons with Tiffany. The night before it started Preston kept asking, now when do we go? Can we go right now? I swear the boy could hardly sleep, because he was so excited to go swim with Tiff! She does a great job with the kids and teaches them a lot. Landon has really turned into a little fish this year! Hooray!  He is having a great time swimming and jumping off everything. He is even learning how to dive! Very exciting!!  Preston is coming along, we just now have to teach him to get his bum UP, he seems to sink a lot. I know he will get it very soon. The crazy thing to me is it seems like we were just at swimming lessons LAST YEAR! Crazy how time goes, and on that note... 

I have been blogging for a YEAR. Happy Birthday FreiFam blog! It has been a great journey, one I continue to enjoy. I love the friends I have made, the lost friends I have found and the friends and family I can keep track of through this little cyber neighborhood. The books I create and the journal I keep for our family has really added so much to my life. I know I sound crazy but, really I just love blogging. Thanks for all who read about our family happenings, good or bad! I love you all, and I especially LOVE the ones who leave comments! ;o) Here is to another great year of FreiFam!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

A week ago Grandma Katie celebrated her... 29th birthday! ;o) I just wanted to wish her a great year and let her know that she means the world to all of us. Here are a few things about Katie that you might not know:

1. She donated part of her liver to a little girl named Alondra. She lives in Los Angelos and had liver failure until Katie came along. Alondra is doing wonderful, she is now a healthy and happy 5 year old! The family still keeps in touch with Katie. 

2. She is a great Artist, she can draw or paint just about anything. 

3. She loves to vacation, and has seen a lot of this beautiful world we live in. 

4. When she puts her mind to something she get is done.

5.  She loves to decorate, and her home is always looking beautiful. 

Happy Birthday Grandma Katie, here is to many more!!
