Father's Day

Father's Day is a lot like Mother's Day.  We always have some type of BBQ/dinner with each side of the family.  This year we were missing my brother Matt's family as they had a prior committment and Dustin's brother Clint's family since they live in Texas!

Both dinners turned out great though!  It is always fun to have good food, good weather, and most importantly awesome company!  The only downside was when my cute G-pa Stan lost his balance and fell on my sister's back patio.  He scraped up his arm pretty good and bruised his leg :(    But, he ended up being OK.  He gave us a good scare though!  Love you G-pa!

We love our guys!



Our awesome dad!



My beautiful family!

These kids love their g-pa!

These kids love this G-pa alot too!



Geesh - Can you tell they are related? :)



One year!

I have officially been blogging for one year now!  I have enjoyed it!  It is a wonderful way to keep track of our family memories. Now, I just need to get caught up on the blogs I have been waiting to post and stay caught up!

Carlin's Basketball BBQ and awards

Carlin finished Lady Wildcats basketball back in March but since her coach also coaches softball, we didn't have her team party until the first part of June.  Her 8th grade team went undefeated during the regular season and took second place in the tournament they played in.  The Girls 9th grade team took second place against the other middle schools which I think was throughout Jordan School District.

Carlin plays point guard and is very competitive!  She did great and will be gearing up to play again in the Fall. This time I made sure I had my camera and batteries (see my post about Caden's baseball end of year dinner).  It was very sunny and it seemed like almost every picture I took Carlin had her eyes closed.  What to do right?

Caden's Copper Hills Baseball season and the End of the Year Dinner

The sophomore team had a great season and we were lucky that a lot of our games were not rained out.  We were told that sometimes the sophomore games don't always get made up due to making sure that the Varsity rained out games were re-scheduled first.  So we were happy our money didn't go to waste. :)
Caden mostly played first base but he did pitch a few games.  The team's record was 6-4-1.

Every year it amazes me how much these boys improve and they really show how much they love the sport!  We have known almost all of these boys since about the age of 9 and it has been exciting to see all of them grow and excel!

The team had an end of year dinner which was really fun! The booster club had table decorations and pennants hung up around the walls that the boys could take home.  All the boys got achievement certificates  and few select got some recognition awards.  I was soooo mad because I brought my camera but no batteries!!  So I missed out on pictures at the dinner but took a few when we got home.
