SUMMER

June 8, 2016 admin No Comments

I am loving summer BUT I am exhausted.

We made a NO ELECTRONICS rule. I believe that is contributing to the fun and contributing to my exhaustion. We haven’t gone anywhere amazing or spent any money but we are BUSY and HAPPY. I LOVE THE CREATIVE THINGS the kids have been doing. but I ALSO am craving some down time so I can get caught up on everything around the house.

learning to play baseball:

Riding bikes:

Legos:

Baseball with Pacen:

Zoo with Claira:

Carnival with Camry:

Swimming with Maren:

Piano with Gentry:

Slip n Slide with Hancocks and Falabellas:

These boys were cracking me up…

We got Sun Burns 🙁

Anna got baptized and we celebrated Ellie’s 5th Birthday:

Performing “The Invisible Bench”:

Benji ate 2 burritos at the baptism and then begged for 5$ Costa Vida that night!!

We had our second Netty Family Fireside where Grandpa Nettesheim leads a gospel discussion:

More Royal Theater and skits with Hancocks and Falabellas:

In the garage with Otter Pops when it gets to hot:

When mom and dad say it is time for bed so they all run outside and play to postpone their bedtime! 9-10pm bedtime is too late for this mom.

Margaret Wines Park with the Robertsons

June 8, 2016 admin No Comments

We went to the park on Friday night and hung out with my family. Joel and Megan, Sean and Jana, Shannon and cousin Megan and her friend Mindy. That’s our Utah crew right now while Kelsey tours Thailand. We had a blast. I loved being at that park with the big mature trees and throwing a ball and hanging with family and Joel and Megan made us a delicious dinner and … Summer is Awesome! Really 5 hours of FUN.

Gus and Ago = swing buddies!

these babies were cracking us up: and my brother Joel is pretty funny too.

playing at “Gus’s Park” !!

Benji and Shannon playing catch!

kids exploring the rock pile, waiting for dinner.

This guy came after work with drinks and treats. I like him.

so fun to play catch and to help all of my kids learn to hit

These 2 loved the swing – they went back for more after dinner.

Sean and Jana took care of Tiago and brought the Spike Ball!

Megan and Gus and baby girl on the way!

And then on Saturday I convinced Shannon to go rollerblading with me by Utah Lake!

We had so much fun at the park. All of the Utah families were able to make it. Well, everyone that wasn’t working. Grandma came too 🙂

Millie insisted on riding the scooter – even though she’s still not good at riding a scooter.

Cali playing Coach Pitch

June 8, 2016 admin No Comments

Cali is on a co-ed coach pitch team. This is our first time doing baseball. She is doing pretty well and likes it. Her coach is great. There are no outs, everyone bats. But they are learning to field the ball and throw it to first base. These 3 girls are pretty good! We’ll be spending our Monday and Wednesday evenings at the field this month!!

Erica lives here now. Cali plays softball now. There is a direct correlation. Erica and I became friends through softball in high school so we LOVE softball. Of COURSE our girls need to play softball together. So I gave in. Cali and Claira and Mia are all on the same team. I did not sign Rose up with Gentry. Maybe in the future.
