Jazz Bear

The Jazz Bear was at the hardware store this week, and Trey had the chance to meet him. The Bear gave him two posters and even signed his shirt. It made Trey's day. (thanks for the heads-up Ross)

Fun at the Ballpark

We had the chance to go to our first OWLZ game with my friend Jane and her family the other night, and we all had so much fun (if you don't count the 10 min. rainstorm. Brevin hated that part)

Brevin with his rally cap--It must have worked, cuz the OWLZ came from behind to win.

Trey's buddy Logan.

My buddy Jane.

Trey and Brevin.

It was so much fun just hanging out with great friends and watching the kids chase foul balls and stuffing themselves on ballpark food. We can't wait to go again!

So if you love baking. or even if you just pretend to, you have got to check it out. Go to http://thecutestcakesintown.blogspot.com/

4th of July

Trey on the dirt bike.

We went camping on the 3rd. We came back to have a bbq on the 4th, and probably like most of you, our fireworks plan got rained out.

So on the 5th, we had Bill's sister and Jane's family over for a game of croquet and a few fireworks.


Bill, Trey, Gracie and Zachary.

This was taken right after Weston's eyebrow singeing incident.
The noise didn't bother Brevin, but Jack wasn't so sure.

Summer Fun!

Trey and Logan

This was taken at Spanish Fork Resevoir, right before the downpour :(
I've never seen so many people move so fast.


Allie, Trey, Dallin and Ty.

Water games at the Benson's.

Play Ball!

I didn't get nearly enough pictures this year.

This was Trey's last season of coach-pitch, and I can see such a big difference in how he plays now. I am excited to see how he does in Little League. Bill was his coach this year and he did such a fantastic job. I think he might've even had more fun than the boys.

Baptism, Blessing, & Birthdays

We baptized Trey and blessed Brevin on the same day. It was very special for us to be able to do that. Bill did an awesome job, and I'm not going to lie--I cried through the entire thing. I can't believe my 1st baby is 8, and hearing OUR baby be blessed is a miracle in itself. It was the best day! The only thing missing was Grandma Toodie and Grandpa Willie. You were there in our hearts--We miss and love you.

I am so proud of my 3 boys.

Trey opening gifts.

I love it when we actually get him something he really wants.

Trey waited patiently for his "friend" party. It was almost a month after his birthday, because for some reason I didn't quite feel up to it 2 weeks after having a baby :)

Boating....Finally!

Bill's first run of the year. Feels so good.

Trey's first run. He went about 20 ft, but he got up on his first try.

Brevin in his super-fitted life jacket. Seriously--could they not make one smaller. Our only choice is one that will fit him from 0-30 lbs. He will be wearing this until he is 4!

We went boating for the second time today. We took some good friends with us, which was really helpful with Brevin. Anyway, after all the adults had a turn to board, Trey wanted to get out on his board. MY BOY IS THE MAN!!! He popped right up and stayed up forever. He even went out of the wake, and he has never done that before. The best was the huge smile on his face. I am so proud of you, Dude!!!

3 Months Old!!!

my baby is 3 months old! Sometimes it feels like he is still brand-new, but most of the time it feels like he has been with us forever. And we are loving every minute of it! (even the crying fits are music to our ears)

Grandma Toodie, sorry it took so long to get new pictures on here.
