Parents Anniversary

On Thursday, June 24th it was our parents anniversary. They took off early Thurs morning to Denver to see the Red Sox vs. Rockies game at Coors Field. They made the drive in the new Lexus RX350 and enjoyed the trip. They were able to go to batting practice before the game. Clay Buchholz (Sox pitcher) was in the outfield shagging balls and after noticing my mom in the stands, he tossed her a ball. He's cute so my mom was happy and gave him a thumbs up :) Dad tried to catch a homerun ball with one hand as it came soaring 450 feet at him. He ended up bruising his hand pretty bad but we applaud his effort, haha. The game was a great one as the Red Sox got the win after 11 innings and 5 hours of play. They enjoyed their time in Denver and had a fun Anniversary. Thanks Mom & Dad for being such great examples and for having a wonderful marriage! Congrats!

Summertime

It's finally summer and we are enjoying the nicer weather around the house. Cayden is finally out of school for the summer so now he is spending his time at football practice every morning and several times a week at night. He will be helping out doing chores and working with Howie/Jord some. Mom is still at the office even though the kids are out but she will be done for the summer soon. Court is staying way busy with all of the Miss PG stuff and working at the pool (Head Guard...she's a big deal). The royalty just yesterday was on the show, Good Things Utah. My parents both got to go watch and they also spent the day in Salt Lake. They had lunch at the Garden Room in the Joseph Smith Building and they met Elder Snow. It was a fun day for them and I will try to post some pictures soon. Parades are going to be starting next weekend so that will consume our Saturday's from now on. Dad is also crazy busy with being the President of the Strawberry Days Rodeo. It seems like just about every night he has some type of meeting or project at the rodeo grounds. They put in new bleachers and the grounds look better than it has before. The rodeo will be June 16-19 so the family is getting ready for that. Chase and Maggie are both working and taking classes. Chase will be going out to Dugway for his 2 week training starting this weekend for the National Guard. Adalee is changing so much all of the time. It's hard to keep up with her when she is cruising around the house. She is trying to get into things and keeps us all entertained with her noises and excitement. Chase and Maggs took her on a hike and picnic for Memorial Day. Pictures are posted on their blog. Jordan and Chelsey just got back from Lake Powell and trying to play as much as possible in between work. That's a general update on the family....We are looking forward to more summer activities and our vacations to Jackson Hole and Lake Powell as a family. Here are some pics of the recent

happenings--Mom & Dad bought a new table/chairs/umbrella/campchef for the deck. Can't wait for a big BBQ and fun!
