Park City Getaway!

We went and spent a week up in Park City at the Marriott Mountain Side.

We had a fabulous time and did a lot of relaxing, laughing and eating some YUMMY FOOD!

Kade and Sadie particpated in the Summer Olympics up in Park City!  They had a fabulous time and placed gold!

We are should I say, They swam from sun up until sun down and we even did a few night swims.  The kids could not get enough of the swimming, it was a great activity with all the HOT weather we have been having.

Mitchell and Kade of course had to fit a little baseball into their vacation.  Its only been 2 weeks and they are both already missing the game of baseball.

We spent the entire day at the Alpine Slide and the Sky Coaster.  It was such a fun day and we loved every minute of it.

Once again,  Sadie had to give it a try.  She did GREAT!

They made it look easy, so mom had to give it a try also.  She was not so shabby herself!

Mitchell's Regional 2012 Tournament

Mitchell's All Star team made it to the Championship game and ended up taking 2nd place. Both teams fought hard and the Team from California came out on top. Mitchell had a great baseball season and we had so much fun supporting him and watching him improve throughout the season. Mitchell also won a different award, we were very proud of him. He won the Golden Arm trophy out of 14 different players from different states, He had to stand in center field and throw the ball in a bulls eye on home plate. He was the only one to hit the bulls eye! It was awesome and he was all smiles.

We are grateful for Mitchell and his athletic talents. We are so grateful for him in our family!
We love Baseball, but we are heading onto the next love of his life, FOOTBALL!

ALL STARS 2012

Mitchell and Kade were picked up to play on the Alpine, Highland All Star team. We have been supporting them a long the way and have watched a lot of baseball the last few weeks. Kade's team made it to state but unfortunatly fell short of winning the title of State champs for 2012. Kade had a fun season and did very well. Mitchell's team played hard, they ended up loosing and had to fight hard for the State champion title. They had to win Tooele twice in a row and they ended up winning coming out on top! Mitchell's team was named 2012 State Champions and will advance to Regionals. They will be playing teams from all over the West. Rose Park, Utah will be hosting the tournament this year so we won't have to travel to far, which will be nice. We are so proud of both boys and their accomplishments in baseball this year.

SADIE'S 6th BIRTHDAY!

Our little birthday girl turned 6! She is growing into a beautiful young, girl and no more baby for sure. even the other day I tried to turn on Dora for her, she stopped me quickly and told me Dora was only for babies! We had a fun, filled day filled with presents, cake, candy and lots of sunshine! ( & maybe a little baseball)! Sadie wanted a beach birthday cake and wanted to hang out at the beach for her birthday. I had to be creative and find the nearest thing to a beach near by. We found a little pond/lake in Manilla they have man made to look like a beach. She had a fabulous day and thought everything was great! Sadie is full of life and spunk and always brings a smile to our faces! Sadie was excited she has to now hold 2 hands up to tell people her age now. We are so grateful for Sadie in our life and so grateful for the joy and happiness she brings to our family each day. She is full of spunk and she helps us all to stay on our toes and she is the first to make sure we are doing what is right all day long. Sometimes the boys think she might be a little to motherly but I tell them she is just practicing to be a mother herself one day. WE love YOU SADIE! HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY!

1st Place Lone Peak Champions!

McKade was selected to play with the Lone Peak All-Star 9U baseball team. They played hard and had a lot of fun. All of their hard worked paid off. They played 2 games on Thursday, 2 games on Friday and 4 games on Saturday. They took the 1st place title home along with a big smile and a big trophy! We are proud of his hard work & hustle he played with this tournament!

SUMMERTIME FISHING/CAMPING!

We took the kids up camping and for a family fishing trip. It was a huge success. Camping was perfect! No RAIN, and NO WIND! We didn't have to even use our heater. The weather was perfect and it was a fun few days we were able to spend together as a family and even better we had a little break from BASEBALL GAMES. Fishing was AWESOME! We caught and released over 40+ rainbow trout. The kids had a blast and we kept Scott busy running back and forth taking off ALL of our fish. It was super fun and the kids are already planning their next fishing trip.

BASEBALL!*BASEBALL* AND MORE BASEBALL!

Mitchell and McKade LOVE baseball and we have been supporting them in ALL of their games. They both are doing fantastic and enjoying the game and learning alot. Mitchell plays for the Utah Heat and McKade plays for the Utah Venom. We love watching them play and we spend a whole lot of our time at the ball field. Sadie is being a trooper and has made plenty of friends so it is a fun outing for her most of the time.

Dance Festival 2012

The kids had their annual Dance Festival. The boys, of course did not want me to take any picture, but Sadie told me I could take all the pictures of her that I wanted, I am grateful for her at times like this. Mitchell was not thrilled about the dance, but I told him he only has one more dance festival, he did very well and surprised me with all his moves. Kade was all smiles and giggles and Sadie couldn't have been into any more. She was serious and danced her heart out. I love the dance festival and enjoy watching it each year!
