Wow what a Summer it has been!!!

This Summer has been so busy and so fun. It has kept us on the run nearly every weekend, doing something. There has been softball, yard work, county fair/rodeo, gardening, birthdays, swimming, and camping trips.
We have been involved in a co-ed tournaments for a couple of years now and this year have been able to come away with some hardware in 2 out of 3 tournaments. We love sports and have such a good time doing it.

The boys have been really interested in watching the rodeo this year, so we have been able to enjoy the rodeo this year for the first time since we have had kids. P.S. Thanks to grandma Koyle for the use of the hats in the pics.


The kids have been so excited this year with the success that we have had in the garden. We have done pretty well for first timers even considering the rough start we had. The boys love to go pull carrots and beans and really love the daily check on their corn(as they would call it). The kids are so excited to see what the phrase "fruits of your labor" actually means.

The boys' birthdays are so close together that we find it to be much easier to have a combined party. This year they really tested my skills and patience when they said they wanted a Spiderman birthday cake. It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself, and it was hard to see all my hard work eaten up in just minutes.

It was nice for the kids to have friends and cousins out for the party to enjoy.


We had a great weekend up at Indian Springs with both sides of our families. We enjoyed the warm water even though it was a little chilly with the wind when you got out of the water. My boys are fish. They were in the water for about six hours one of the days, I couldn't believe it. Needless to say they slept pretty well.


They boys have always been the outdoors kinda kids and they really love to sit around the camp fire and cook smores and hot dogs. The boys also enjoyed doing a little fishing in the nearby creek. The fish were really small and we just had to let them go, but it was pretty fun anyways.
