June Summer Days of Fun

Johnstown Days Fishing Derby - 
No one caught a thing but they had fun and when the event is at the lake, just down the street, how do you tell the kids no?  Next time maybe some worms would help!!


Monkeys kids in the front tree.





Baseball has begun!
  Everitt is one of the teams top 3 pitchers, and Coltin just happens to be one of the others. Coltin is also trying out catcher position and seems to like it.
Go Bombers!


Happy Father's Day Justin!

Our library had an around the world event with many countries represented. Our favorite was India. The woman actually does henna body painting at fairs and such and did a brief but amazing demonstration there. She also was letting the little girls get authentic with a 'Bindi'. Alayna looked so cute. 


Next we have... not so cute. Poor guy! Everitt took a baseball to the right eye socket right before their 2nd game of the season started. The kid he was warming up with threw the ball as the assistant coach, his dad, stared talking to Everitt. While he sat out for a few innings he was still able to get out there and play and even pitch. Tough guy.

 Ouch! Day 1

 Healing up, Day 4

Memorial Weekend in Utah


I love visiting family and so do the kids. They are always asking when the next time will be that they we will go to someone's house. Well Grammy and Papa got us for this weekend. It was great timing as we got to meet our 3 day old nephew, Camden Tracy, and celebrate Kassie's 19th birthday.  We also enjoyed the new ping-pong table, golfing, shopping and hiking to the 'P'.


Sleepy Madison really took to uncle Justin.


Cuties out bug huntin'.

That's my boys, sitting on the 'P' (for Payson!)




Oh so fun to hold a newborn again!


Hats that Kassie brought back from Peru.

Gymnastics

For the month of May we put Alayna into gymnastics. Our rec. does per month enrollments which was nice for her to have something to do before all the baseball of summer. She really enjoyed it, did pretty well and definitely would like to do more.

End of the Year

Wow can't believe we are headed into the summer of 2011. The school year has gone pretty well. The boys have made new friends, learned a lot, and pleased us with how well they learn and do in class. Coltin recieved much recognition for his high grades, wonderful attitude and willingness to help. This last quarted he was awarded the Art student of the month.  Everitt just soaks up new material so quickly. Somtimes we think that has made school boring for him. He greatly enjoys math and science and comes home so excited to discuss his new science material. His greades have been wonderful and it all seems to come easily to him. To them both, and this I am soo gateful for. I love those busy boys and am so proud of them!


Now we prepare for a summer of baseball and swimming. And anything else we can do to keep busy. ;)

March, April, & May - The smaller events

Happy Kids - 3-20-11


 Lookin' Cool Bud!      Hey I think I have a pic of him at 2 looking this 'studly'! 
Ahhhh!!
Couldn't resist posting, if you look closely he's trying to give a thumbs up!
(That was 2-14-04) 



Yep, I got braces!
 March 9th. Looks like I only have to have them for a year,
glad about that and for the opportunity to improve my smile. =#



So this guy is just so silly. Always wants to dress up with Alayna. I just had to capture it forever.
Sorry I forgot that you can't rotate the camera when filming.
Fancy Dancy Corbin




On April 2nd Corbin gave Coltin this nice cut when he threw a stick at his head! Coltin thought it was just sore and not cut until we saw the blood. Luckily it was not too deep. We couldn't find any butterfly band aids but found this liquid band aid stuff instead. WOW, it was great, especially with the hair. Something I am glad to have added to our first aid kit.
