Summer Fun

I took the kids to Weber State's Fireworks with my family. It was pretty fun. Avery isn't much into loud noises so she kept her head hidden the WHOLE time! It was a riot!

Here are some photos of my Studly Baseball Boy in some great action photos. What a stud he is! I love that kid! Avery Loves the baseball park and watching her Bubba play baseball. She has many little friends at the park and is very good spending 6-8 hours a day at the park when we're there! I couldn't ask for a better little girl! It's so fun to watch her cheer for her Bubba!



We took the Front Runner down to Salt Lake then took the Trax over to the Gateway with the kids, my Mom and my Nephew and Niece: Parker & Emily. We had some lunch and let the kids play in the fountains. Avery Loved the water! She is a little fish and isn't scared of hardly anything. Preston and Parker mostly walked around... they didn't think playing in the water was very cool! ha! ha! Preston got some new glasses... doesn't he look like a stud? Who would have guessed glasses from the 70's would be back in style? ha! ha! Avery loved riding on the choo choo train (Front Runner) and keeps asking to go on it now all the time! She thought that was pretty cool!











We went to the Hogle Zoo and Avery thought it was the coolest thing EVER! She loves animals and was begging to go for days! I should have never told her we were thinking of going! She didn't want to leave! Every single thing we saw she went nuts over. She wanted to ride everything and give them a kiss. She thought the Merry Go Round was a blast and wanted to stay on the train even though it only lasted about 2 seconds. It was a full day event and she was deliriously tired, but she still didn't want to leave. It was a very good family bonding moment... even though Preston said it was a lot more fun when he was younger. He was a good sport though, even though he was sick of the camera after about 5 minutes! It was a great day and I can't wait until next time!

So MUCH to do... so LITTLE Time!

Okay, so once again... I am way behind on things! ha! ha! I realized I haven't posted any of Preston's baseball photos, which some of you have commented on... the 4th of July or any thing else that has been happening this summer. I have been getting ready for the "Treasure Box Boutique" which is on Saturday and I feel with Avery being so sick and everything else we have been doing.. this has been on the back burner.

Did I tell you that Preston even has a Job? Yep, he's officially employed at the Snowie Shack. He actually makes pretty good money and is loving it... needless to say, I am addicted to "Snowies". Baseball has quit for a little bit, but we are getting ready to play in another tournament over the 24th of July. I can't wait! I have missed it! We seriously were on such a great team this year, I was actually sad to have the season over! Thank goodness for Fall Baseball! :) Preston's Jr. High Baseball team ended up playing in the playoffs at Raptor's Stadium which was awesome! They beat North Ogden Jr. High and went to the Championship game on Preston's Birthday and lost to Wahlquist by 1 run... it was an awesome game though! Preston did great! How do you like Little Avery dancing to the tunes? Isn't she a crack up? It was awesome playing at Raptor Stadium because they had an announcer and music playing just like they do when you are at the Raptors game! It was quite the ta-do for these boys!

The kids were in the 4th of July Parade at Plain City again this year. This year, we entered the boat and the kids and I rode on it promoting Nick's fishing club. I wasn't supposed to be riding, but Avery wouldn't go with out me! So what does a mother do for her chitlins??? Endures! ha! ha! We had a great time though, then we went down to Hooper for the Fireworks. Preston also played in a 3 on 3 basketball tournament with some of his buddies. They took 2nd over all in their age bracket. It was pretty cool! The 4th of July is one of my most favorite holiday's.Avery has been very sick. She's been getting her 2 year molars, and we thought all of this was just because of that... then she got a earache, which we just thought was one more thing. Then she got a fever of 104 that wouldn't break. So we again, took her back to the doctor and they thought she had silent phenomena.. her blood count was only 2 points away from the scary high.. so I was freaking out! She tested negative for Swine Flu thank goodness, but it comes down to she has what's called Hyper angina. She has open sores all down her throat. She won't hardly drink, let a lone eat. She's getting a little dehydrated and they want to watch her so they don't have to hospitalize her to get her back hydrated. We are bribing her and also doing the syringe thing... so hopefully she gets better soon! It's so sad to see her this sick. The crazy thing about it is, these are not all related!

Here are some fun photos of the kids and more of the stuff we have been up to! We love you guys!

My Boy is 14 Today!

You know when you see something that just warms your heart... you think you've cherished every moment and then it's like you blink... and 14 years have passed?? That is how these last 14 years of my life have been! My little man just turned 14! I can't even believe he's finally taller than I am.. not that, that is hard to do! :) You won't get us confused now when you call and he answers.. you just won't believe him when he tells you it really is him.. you'll think some weird man is answering my phone! But more than anything.. you won't believe what a great young man he has grown into! I'm so proud of Preston for the person he's always been and the man he's becoming! I couldn't ask for a better son! He does very well in school, sports and being kind and caring towards others! I love him more than life itself! Happy Birthday Bud! I couldn't be prouder of you!

Today was a great day because his school Jr. High Baseball Team had their Championship Game today! I was so proud of him. He is the starting catcher as an 8th grader, and what a tough little catcher he is! They lost by one run! Bummer! They were down 7 runs and in the 6th inning caught up to being down only 1 run. In the 7th inning they tied it... we thought they were going to do it.. but the other team got a run and the game was over! They all played so good! They are a great group of boys and it will be sad to have the 9th graders move on! My little guy did great and it was such a proud moment to be able to watch him playing at the Raptor's Stadium in the Championships! I love you Buddy! Here's some photos of my little man and the good looking guy he's grown into!
