Backyard Camp Out

This year we made a Summer Bucket List...

Do you see the first item on it?

Check! Sleep in a Tent...done! 

I have never had a backyard camp out before, but I will be doing it again for sure! We BBQ'd and ate dinner outside (then I took the dishes and washed them inside!)  We roasted marshmallows  and made perfect (with the microwave inside) smores!  Gavin told a Ghost story (while Carlee was inside sleeping in her crib!) that even made me jump. Then we (Gavin took one for the team and went inside to listen for Carlee ;)) all went to sleep. Next year I will be the one inside and Gavin will be in the tent listening to the neighbor's A/C unit! The next morning, I ran inside and got the milk and cereal. No cooler's with melting ice needed! :) 

See, backyard camp out's are fantastic!

The kids even found a frog. A perfect find, for our nature night! They caught him and with that we were able to not only check off, sleep in a tent, but catch frogs and make smores! 

The bucket list is going to be great this summer, I can feel it!

Nature Camp

Preston and Zac went to Nature Camp the first week in June. He loved it! He is all about making things and learning about nature. Their team even won the challenge that took place all week. Way to go Preston!!

Addie's Pink Bike

When you are the third child and want a bike, your parent's aren't going to buy you a new bike you get a hand-me down. The only problem is when your siblings ahead of you are boys, the bike is going to be green! Addie wasn't really diggin' the green, but thankfully she has an uncle that can paint! Check out her new pink bike!

She was a happy girl, after she saw it was pink! In fact, the next morning when she woke up she asked "Mom, will you take me to the garage, so we can make sure my bike is still pink?"

Thanks Uncle Lex!

Snail anyone? Preston must have collected 80+...Yuck!

Good Times!

New Babysitter

Just have to give a shout out to my Dad. He has become my babysitter lately and I really appreciate him. When I was at Girls Camp and Gavin was at ball practice he (with the help of Addie) even changed Carlee's messy diaper! Then he walked them down to Grandma's, where my Mom was tending her because of shoulder surgery. I was impressed, to say the least!

Thanks Dad, don't know what I would do without you.

Warrior Baseball

Landon played with the 8u Warriors at the RMSB Memorial Day Tournament in Alpine. The boys did good, coming away with two W's. We went up a day early and watched SCHS Baseball at State. It was a fun atmosphere to be apart of. They are a great group of boys, the kind you want your son's to emulate.  They played tough and came up just short of the state trophy.

Jake came up and met us on the second day. He reluctantly made a few friends while he was with us. We had fun giving him a hard time! :)

Such a cute group of boys!

Last Day of School

School's out! The boys had a great year. Both had super teacher's and learned a lot. Here is to a fun summer, full of sleeping in, catching crawdads, swimming and more!
