Baseball Season Over !!!

Well Logan and Riley's baseball season is over finally !!!! Riley is still to young for them to actually keep score so as he says they finished in first place because they won every game. Logan's team had a rough start to the season, but they finished the regular season in 3rd place !!! All in all it was a great baseball season and both boys had a lot of fun.

Bear Lake

We had our first summer outing last weekend. We went up to Bear Lake with my in laws for the weekend. It turned out to be a great weekend full of lots of fun in the sun and water. The boys loved everything about it and didn't want to get out of the water. The water was even some what "bearable" even for Bear Lake in June. I have to say the shakes were even as good as always. I haven't been to Bear Lake in 7 years and had forgot just how nice and relaxing it is up there. We all can't wait to go up there again !!!

Baby Birds

Well after all we went through for a bunch of little birds they still met their demise. A couple of weeks ago the boys were in the backyard playing with my niece and she came in with the boys and told me to go in the backyard. When I went out there I found little baby bird wings, beaks, and legs all over my yard. I guess they fell out of the hole in the bbq and a cat must have got them. The boys were very upset and now hate cats. lol I guess the only good that came out of the whole thing is that Brandon got a new bbq.

Half a body

The other day Riley, Logan and Zac Nielson we playing dress up at our house. Riley had gone into the bathroom to change into his costume. When Amy and I went up to get the boys to clean up, Amy looked in the bathroom and said look. When I looked it looked as if there was half of a small body laying on the bathroom floor. I had to take a pic because it was just so funny.

We Have Baby Birds !!!!

Well the babies have arrived. We were outside this weekend and heard a little squeaking sound so we carefully looked and sure enough they hatched. Logan said they looked like vultures !!! It was very funny, I have to agree with him they are not very cute at all. We will keep updating the pics.

BBQ Anyone???

So on Mother's day we had decided to bbq for dinner. I went out to light the bbq and low and behold it was full of a birds nest. My first thought was what are we going to do now. We love to cook on our bbq. Brandon said we should just throw the eggs and nest away, that is until we saw all the lovely bird poop. The sad thing is the eggs haven't even hatched yet so it is only going to get worse. The boys are so excited that we are now going to have baby birds. So as if the nest in the bbq isn't bad enough we are now being buzzed by the mommy and daddy bird on a daily basis when we go out into the backyard. I hope the eggs hatch soon.

Riley's Baseball pics

Baseball !!!

Logan and Riley had their first baseball games on Saturday. Riley's was at 8:00 am we absolutely froze. He had such a hard time holding on to the ball. He had on a sweatshirt, his baseball shirt, a jacket, and a hoodie and he was still freezing. Even though it was cold he still managed to hit the ball and have a fun game. Logan's game was later in the day at 3:00 pm it was still cold, but not nearly as bad as when Riley played. Logan got his first hit off the pitching machine and made it to 2nd base. Then next hit he was able to run in to home. His team did a great job and really tried hard, but in the end they lost 8-21. All in all it was a great day of baseball.

Our Construction !!!

Well we got our tile laid, with the exception of by our front window, door, and closet. We were short tile and could not finish, we had to order more and will finish this weekend. I'm just glad that we had enough tile to do the area where the cabinets go. Today the cabinets have been getting installed. I feel like I am finally get my kitchen some what back. By tonight I will have a stove, a fridge, and a pantry. YEAH !!!!!!! I can hardly contain my excitement. We will not have countertops for another week, but I can live with that I think.

Easter 2008

We didn't have a kitchen for Easter this year so we went to our friends house to dye eggs with the kids. They all had a lot of fun and even managed to stay dye free. On Easter morning we woke up and the kids found their baskets before we headed to the in-laws for an egg hunt. It was a really laid back Easter and without a kitchen we had Easter dinner at KFC. What an Easter to remember.

OUR CONSTRUCTION !!!

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS !!!!!

We decided that we wanted to redo our kitchen and make our house a little more open. So on March 17th our construction began!!! We are having to do all our own rip out so needless to say our lives are upside down at the moment. I am to the point that I never want to see another fast food joint again!!! My house is covered in at least 2 inches of dust everywhere, and we are using our living room as a small make shift kitchen. The only meals we haven't been eating out are breakfast and some lunches. The date for the project to be done is set at April 17th and we are all keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes on schedule. I can't wait for the finished product, but even more just to have a kitchen back and my house back to normal as possible.

Beaver Dam

In March we were able to take a small vacation to Beaver Dam which is just outside St. George. My Dad and step-Mom have a second home there that we stayed at with them. We were gone from March 10th until March 16th. I stayed with my boys until Thursday afternoon then drove to Vegas to be with Brandon while he was there for work. The boys were able to have time with Grandma and Grandpa for a few days without mom and dad for the first time. This was a big accomplishment not only for me but for my dad and step-mom. They did an amazing job with Logan and I really had no need to worry about it. We all had a great time and we even got to celebrate my dads 60th birthday while we were there.
