We Planted a Tree

For a belated Father's day present Kathy got me a tree to plant in our bank yard. We do have a large backyard so we went with an Autum "Blaze" Maple to give the kids some nice shade to play in (in about 7 years). We also go Skyler her first Bike. She loves it, every day now its "I wnat my bike. Let's go outside." and she is sooooo cute to watch peddle.

Chase's Birthday

Chase had his 1st birthday on June 18th. i cant believe its been a whole year since Chase desided to grace us with his presence. As you can see he loved his cake.

Softball is finally over

so not much has happened in June so far. we have been having April weather where it rains everyday and the temps have been in the 60's and low 70's. Not really the June weather that we were expecting. Also Skyler has finished softball. I'm not really sure how to describe the season. It was neat to go and watch Skye play with others, but i don't know how her coach did it. with 10 girls between 3 and 6 just wanting to sit and pick grass. i drove me crazy just watching. Also for some reason when we first started we thought that the games would be about 30 minutes but they go for an HOUR. And I have to tell you that after 20 minutes Skye was done every week. But she was absolutely the cutest one to run the bases all year. She would trot as fast as she could with her hands straigh down her sides trying not to let the huge helmet tip her over (which it did a few time, and that was stinking hilarious). Below are are few pics from her last game. Brad

Baby Blessing

Here are some photos from Paul and Miranda's baby blessing of Dalyce.

The Dance Competition

Skyler had her first dance Competition this Saturday. She loved every minute of it, she even got a trophy. we would show you a video of her first dance but as soon as she walked on stage she saw us sitting in the front row and forgot all about her dance routine and just wavied and stared at us.

Lesson learned. We need to sit in the back. But please watch the video that we posted of her second dance routine...

Easter was fun

Easter was fun this year. We went to my parents house and goofed around all Sunday


it was good to see Mark and Dad having a good time. Mark seems to be ajusting to life in Utah pretty well

Skyler and Chase loved all the presents that the Easter Bunny brought them.

Skyler's first softball game

Skye had her first Softball game this week, she was soooooooo cute

Her coach told her to stay in position and she did all game, no matter how close the ball was hit to her. I dont even think the wind moved one hair on her head. She was a statue, and she looked good.




Brad thought that she looked like a Tootsie Pop, with ther skinny boby and the big black batting hat on. she almost fell down a few times when she ran the bases.....actually she did fall hard one time. the helmet got a little to far infront of the rest of her body.
