Ready for some Football!

The next month will be football, football and more football. The boys are keeping us going with football. They both have had 2 games and are doing great I am very proud of both of them and all of their hard work. They practice 3 times a week and them one game a week so it keeps them busy. Tanner is playing on the 5th grade team and Austen is playing on the 6th grade team. Mike and I love watching them and cheering them on from the sides. Keep up the good work boys.

1st Day of School!

The boys have been in school for a couple of weeks now and are loving it. They are both happy with their teachers and so far are doing good. I still can't believe that summer is gone and fall is on the way. On the 1st day of school they were up ready had a yummy breakfast then of course had to take some pictures of the boys. I can't believe how much they have grown since last year. To sit and watch them grow makes me so sad, but at the same time I am loving it they are growing to be good boys and I love all three of them tons!

Summer has come to an end!

It's sad but true our summer has come to an end. The boys start school on Monday and are excited and not very happy at the same time. With this comes the regular bed times, homework and not being able to go go go. We have had a great summer, cousins came for 2 weeks, camping, water park trips and spending late nights with friends and family. Last week we thought we would take one more little hoop la before the 1st day of school. We headed up to Jackson Friday and stayed the night and then spent the day in Jackson. We walked around the downtown, ate a yummy dinner, got our old fashion picture taken and then watched the gun fight in the middle of town the boys had a great time. I think their favorite part was the candy store that had any kind of candy imaginable. Austen and Tanner also started football and have been going every night for 2 hours. They have really enjoyed it so far. This is my favorite time of the year I absolutely love watching them play sports and this is one of my favorite they both do very well and am very proud of them.

Cabin Fun!

This last weekend we head up to Yellowstone to do some camping with my parents who were camping at a KOA up there. We decided to join them and spend the night in a little cabin that you can rent up there. We had a great time. The boys spent most of their time swimming with Hannah and Halle. They loved the pool even though the water was freezing cold, but that didn't stop them from swimming, We also rented some bikes they had there they were fun. My mom and me laughed so hard, when Mike and my dad sent us with all the kids to pedal around. We had a wonderful dinner my sweet mother prepared and my dad cooked some great steaks. After dinner we sat around the campfire and visited while the kids enjoyed a show in grandma and grandpas trailer. We had a great time and the company was great. Just a little warning picture overload.

Bowling with the family

The last couple of weeks have been a ton of fun. Mike's sister is visiting and we have been going and going. The other night we headed to the bowling alley for some time on the lanes. The kids had a ton of fun. They bowled on a lane and the adults bowled on a lane it was a lot of fun and we had many laughs. After bowling we headed over to Suzie's for some pie to celebrate Amber's birthday.

A wonderful 4th

We had a great 4th of July. We started out with the parade with the kids and then headed over to the park for a picnic with the whole family. We had some yummy salads, dessert, and chicken. We visited with family, the kids played on the toys and then my aunt Linda brought a pinata for the kids. We had a wonderful time visiting then we packed up and headed over to the green belt to watch the fireworks. We hung out at the green belt had a sandwich, and walked down to the festivities they had going on. It was wonderful weather and it was great to visit and get caught up on all the exciting news with the fam. We are super excited for Shayna she is expecting her first baby and she has been waiting a long time. Congrats Shayna and Cameron.

Fishing with the Family.......

That is how we spent our day yesterday fishing with the Sorensen family. Mike's sister is up from California for a couple of weeks and the boys have loved spending time with their cousins. Yesterday we headed to the nature park to do a little fishing. The boys had the time of their lives they enjoyed playing, fishing and feeding the ducks. Austen and Tanner loved fishing. Tanner was a catching machine. Austen well he waited patiently and finally caught one he was pretty excited. Jake well, he fished a little, but he was mostly interested in the worms. He even tried to eat one. After that the worms went away. We had a nice and relaxing day. I am sure we will be heading back out to do a little fishing I guess I never knew how much the boys enjoyed it.
