A night with the boys!

Thursday night I went to a Chukars game with four of my nephews. It was quite entertaining I must say. We got there as they were singing the Star Spangle Banner and found some seats. The first inning or two was spent explaining what baseball is and how it works. I never realized I knew so much about baseball. Of course I had to explain it in terms that six year olds could understand and that was pretty entertaining in itself. Then they were thirsty and then hungry, but never fear I came prepared. I got out the waters and snacks and thought I was being so smart. Ya, I forget how much food boys can eat. My meager treats lasted through the third inning basically. We had a few spills and some hurried potty breaks (thank you Joshua for the help). An inning or so later they wanted cotton candy and of course I just happened to have the right amount of cash for 1. They split it in four and I stole a bite, ya now I remember why I don't like cotton candy. Another inning went by and it was time for french fries and a big glass of water for myself- which later ended up on the ground... but that turned into more entertainment for the boys. Then the younger two decided that it was time to go but Weston and Josh would have none of that. So we started playing games, such as I've never... and of course Carson won, big surprise yes I know. Then the announcer came out and played some music, thank goodness for this, it entertained the boys for a while and then the fun began. Carson and Colton decided to see how many verses they could make up with versions of if you are happy and you know it. It gave all those around some entertainment for a few innings. I have to admit it was more entertaining than the game. Colton and Carson got to go see the "chicken" as they called it and we took a picture on my phone. It was great. After the game all the boys wanted to run around the bases and get some "home runs." It was fabulous and gave them a way to get rid of all of that energy. Yes, folks we made it through nine innings and as an added bonus the Chukars won 6-5. It was a great night and I have to say I really enjoyed hanging out with the boys. We went to Grandma's house after and they all spent the night. I have to say it gave me a boost to appreciate the smaller things in life and I have to admit I really enjoyed hanging out with the boys!!!

Melly's Baptism

Well on June 6th Melly got baptized. She was so excited and a little nervous I think. She looked so beautiful in her white clothes and then

her new baptism dress. Kristy gave a talk and it was great as well.
It was a lot of fun to have most of the family

there for the special day.

Aloha

It has been a while since my last post, but here are some fun pictures of my trip to Hawaii.

It was such an awesome time and it was relaxing. It was fun to see some things we didn't last time and enjoy each other's company. I would recommend this trip to everyone. Until our next grand adventure.... I'm thinking Europe or the east coast... we shall see.

Adventures in Hawaii

Well, we have been here in Hawaii a few days and have had a wonderful time. We are still trying to do daily notes on Jeanna's blog, but we missed last night because we got back too late. Any way I thought I would give you a few highlights any way. The beach is as beautiful as ever, it is extremely green here and has been very very humid. We have been shopping, done lots of walking, driving, kicked my camera into the ocean (accidently of course), eaten lots and lots of yummy food, tried new foods, gotten masssages, and have enjoyed just relaxing and seeing the sites. It has been so much fun and I have loved it. I will give a full report later, but I hope all is well for each of you and that you have a very Happy Memorial Day!

Hawaii

Aloha from Hawaii. So yes folks we made it here safe and sound. I just wanted to let you all know that we are blogging our trip on Jeanna's blog. I will put a link on this page and you all should check it each day, we will be updating it each day. Any way I hope all is well for each of you and I will see you in all soon.

Melly had a part where she sang the grouch song in a garbage can pretty cute.

It was a great show full of lots of laughs and entertainment. These are one of the highlights of my year.

Well, that about sums up the last few weeks. I am off on another vacation this week and will have lots of pictures so show you when I get back.

Update and fun times in Logan

So I haven't blogged in a while. So I thought I would give you some pics. While we were down in Utah for Wicked we stayed with Shauna a few days. Here are some pics from a soccer game we went to while we were there.

Here is the birthday cake, Sha made for me.

Weston had a soccer game so we got to go to that. He my the two goals for his team, Go Weston. On May 1st (the most fabulous day of the year, but I am not bias at all) Kimi graduated from college! Go Kimi! Here she is after graduation!! Check out the air on that. It was a fun day. We then came home and had cake and ice cream with the family. It was lots of fun. My friends came over too and we had lots of laughs... snap snap J-Crew.. don't worry you don't have to get that. Any way the next day a bunch of us went out to dinner and a movie for me and it was lots of fun. I was bummed I didn't get any pictures there, but Jeanna put some on facebook so it's all good.


The next day we went back to Logan for Ava's blessing. It was lots of fun to be with almost all of the fam and spend some time together. We also gave Mom her mother's day present with us all there... we fixed her cuckoo clock, she was so surprised. It was lots of fun. Here are some pictures from that day. Isn't she adorable!!
