Machine Pitch

When we walked up to Jace's first baseball practice we didn't know which team he would be on. As soon as we were close enough he says, "Oh MAN! Not the Twins! I hate the TWINS!" I assured him that now that he was on the LEHI Twins...it would be his new favorite team. Good thing he still listens to his mom! He has LOVED the season!

First ball was a strike (on the ground by his foot). This one was an awesome hit to center field!

Love watching my boys play ball. So much fun!

Fourth of July

There is nothing better than the 4th of July celebration in Blanding. The kids look forward to it all year long. We started off the day with the parade on Main. Then we headed to the fair at the park where there was tons of people, food, and fun. Next we hit Aunt Karen and Uncle Danny's annual barbecue where the kids had SUCH a great time with their water fight. After yummy food and some soaking wet kids we changed into warm clothes and headed to the park for the firework display. It was a long, hot, and super fun day.

Cutest Americans EVER!

Cutest girls!

B-town Pool Time

Blanding City got a new swimming pool! I have to admit a little bit of sadness when i saw the old swimming pool leveled to the ground...but the new pool is AWESOME! The kids had hours of fun in the frigid water. Jacci and I enjoyed lounging by the poolside in our recliners. It was a great day!

Grandma swimming with the little girls. Neither one of them felt very comfortable in these life jackets but they endured because they LOVE to swim.

Outdoor Movie Mania

We LOVE the Lehi Outdoor movie! This year they were showing Despicable Me....one of our faves. We were smart and headed over to the ball field early to set up chairs and blankets where we could actually see and hear! We brought yummy treats and met tons of friends throughout the night. Good times!

First we saw...Savannah, Emily, (and Camry)

Camry found her bff Kelsie!

East stood in line for 1/2 hour at least to get this sweet Red Sox tattoo. You can't see if very well but it says SOX on his cheek. Poor guy wasn't too happy about it... :)

All the boys chowing down on their snacks

By the end of the movie Jeff was asleep and both 8 yr olds were sitting on my lap so they could "see better". Hahaha. Can't wait for next year!

Lehi Round Up Parade

We got our usual spot for the Lehi Round Up Parade. This year it was on Maddie's 5th Birthday. Sophie and Maddie could hardly make it through the parade because they were so excited for her party afterwards. :) The ward floats were awesome and it was fun to see friends and family in the parade.

Brielle and Cams

Too cool

A Picture Worth a Thousand Words

Paparazzi Shot by: Autumn

Here's the scoop:

 Sometimes you just have a Diet Coke emergency...doesn't matter where you are...you just HAVE to have that Coke.

Jean: Oh! There's a Coke machine in there!

Sharley: Um...Mom that's a liquor store.

Jean: So. There's a Coke machine RIGHT there.

Meanwhile, outside...

Me: Shar..tell me when she comes out. I am getting this on camera!

Shar: She's coming NOW!

And there you have it folks. My Aunt Jeanne coming out of a liquor store. :) Never thought I'd see the day.
