SOFTBALL

It has started again and she loves it. This year they play twice a week which stinks but at least it might get over faster. they our doing really good this year. last year was ruff but they have won all there games but two so far. Maddie plays first base and she is amazing at it. She can catch anything where half of the girls our afraid of the ball. She just got another double out this game. She caught it and ran to first. It is fun to watch her. GOOD LUCK MADDIE

KOLBY GRADUATES FROM PRESCHOOL

I can't believe my baby boy is going to Kindergarten this coming year. He is really excited to go he asks everyday now that school is over. It's going to be hard to have him leave he is my little tender heart. He is usually really easy and loves to be with Nick and I whatever we do, but lately I think he's been a little moody he is just ready to go to school. He just wants to be big, I think they get ready to learn. He is so funny and I'm going to miss him while he is at school.

GOOD LUCK KOLBY

IT"S TIME TO TRI
I finally did it. Me and Nickie did our first TRI it was so much fun. I was so glad that I finished. I have been trying to learn how to swim for a couple of months and lets just say it's not like picking up running or biking. I have had to learn how to calm down and to relax but that is not an easy task for me. It started off fantastic we took to the water first for 300 meters which is far for me, then we biked for 12.6 miles, then off to the 5k. By the time I was to the run I was so sick of this hill they had us loop twice on the bike and once on the run. I finished with my cute family, mom and Amber cheering me on. I can't wait to do another.

The tent with the cute tables. It's fun to see the final product after planning forever.

We our so happy because the night is almost over. It was fun to have it in our back yard but a little overwhelming. It's good because Maddie wants an outside wedding. Nick and I will at least know how to do it.

The cute girls in there skirts that we made for them. This is were you walked in to the reception. We had a good time.The Wedding weekend all started the night before up in Logan. We had a BBQ at Jackie's new in laws house. They were amazing they rented bounce houses and the slide for the kids and we had Goodwood for the dinner. It was a fun night. They were married the next morning at the Logan Temple. Then we raced down to our house for the reception. We had a lot of work to do but we had a lot of help. Thanks to everyone who helped. It was a perfect night. The next day we went over to Nelson and Val's house for there Baby blessing. He was just born the week before. It was nice because everyone was there. Then we went to the Texas Roadhouse for lunch it was a fun weekend. I was so happy for Sunday so I could take a nap.

Tiedye

We went up to Emmalee's and her friend had left over tie dye. So we made some shirts for our family vacation. This is us wrapping the rubber bands on our shirts. This is Nick doing his shirt

The final product

Grandpa's touch

I had to post these pictures. When we were in Texas we went for a walk in Grandpa and Grandma's neighborhood. Lets just say Kate started off in the stroller, but she knows how to weasel her way to get with Grandpa. She loves him she always has, she has a thing with men. Hopefully we get that solved before she gets older. She just knows how to work it. She pulled Grandpa to the side and talked him into giving her a ride in the bug, but just her though. When we were gone Kate got a hold of Grandmas phone and figured out if you just push one button it calls Grandpa. He was in a meeting and he figured out it was her and he told them he had to take this call. She has this power to take over. She just talked to him like she was this big person with something so interesting to say. Lets be honest everything is important to a three year old.

Here we are for our walk. Look how big Bridger is in the stroller. He was so lazy. He said if Kate is not going to ride I am, smart kid. Thanks again for the fun time.

Our last night

Well lets just say how blessed we were to get to go on a vacation. I was so happy I would have been happy for anywhere at this point in time, but the cards were on are side. We found the best deal half the price and we flew the kids to Texas it was meant to happen. So here is our trip in a nut shell. We love to cruise and hope to go on more in the future.

Some of the best Ice Cream I have ever had. We had a fun day thanks for all the fun grandpa and grandma. On Sunday we were able to have a little Ester and then go to church with them. Then they drove us down to the ship. When we pulled up Kolby said "is that your boat it is a hotel". They thought it was so cool so did I.
