Tournament/Happy Father's Day!


Last week before Father's day, Brigham and Spencer finished up their baseball season. It turned out to be a really fun tournament. The boys' hard work really paid off, they played awesome! They made it through 4 games I think. Their last game they went down with a fight, it was so exciting. 3 extra innings with Spencer pitching for them! Both boys made a double play by catching fly's in right field and throwing to first.  Brig made several other outs by catching fly balls. Spencer made several outs by getting them at pitch and throwing them out at first, plus he struck one or two out. They each scored some runs, Spencer got a great hit. Really really fun, more pictures coming. I am waiting for the gal who took them to upload them. I hope she has some more of Spencer!


Mary got gum in her hair AGAIN, this time I had to cut 3 or so inches off. It actually turned out pretty good. But the sides won't reach into one pony tail anymore.



Happy Father's Day to our wonderful DADDY and Grandpa!  We had a really fun day.  The kids all made cards/gifts.  Spencer was so excited to get him this magnetic wristband to wear when he works on stuff outside or with the cars.  He knew where to find it at Lowe's and paid for it with his money. Cute! Joe works so hard with the kids on their sports and helping them with their job/development charts.  He is a wonderful husband and father, we love him so much!  Sarah calls him baby. So funny.


Brigham warming up before one of the games in the tournament. He was only able to pitch in 2 of the games and then he had to have a 3 day rest (rules). We really could of used him in the last 2! He did awesome! 




I have been so busy this week attending Twilight camp with the Cub Scouts in our ward all week, every night from 4-10 with driving. We are having a fun summer though! More pics to come of the games.

Last week of school


This last week was SOOO busy.  Awards ceremonies 3 days in a row. Lucy did amazing in Kindergarton! We are so proud of you Lu! She went the whole year without a color change (behavior) so she got to go to Build-A-Bear alone with me! See pictures below.


She LOVES Mrs. Henard so much and Mr. Evans too.  Great School! We love Dodd!




Brigham was recognized for being a part of the Science club. And he also had Perfect Attendance again! Great job Brigham!!!



Spencer was recognized again at Marauder Madness, this time he got the Character award. Way to go Spencer!!!


Gpa and Gma sent them money for a new slip-n-slide for doing a good job in school this year. They are already loving it!  Thank you Gma and Gpa!!!


Friday night was pack mtg and Spencer received his Webelos badge, Arrow of Light, and they did his Crossover ceremony since he will miss the next two pack mtgs.  We are so proud of you Spencer! He has earned almost every pin possible.



Then on Saturday was Joe's 38th Birthday. It was a busy busy day but we celebrated a little! I hurried and did this picture of a '57 Corvette (his favorite).  That morning Mary had a birthday party to go to, so I took Lucy to Build A Bear while she was at her party.




 Mary, Brayler Simson, Julianne Shipp, Makaya Simson in the black behind Julianne. Don't know the other two.  They just recently moved out of our ward, so it is some of their old and new ward. :)


Strawberry Shortcake! Yum!


And the monster coming....


We LOVE you Daddy! Thank you for all you do for our family! We are going to miss you so much this week. He left this morning for a whole week, High Adventure Camp.  Last week he started a new job chart to help encourage the boys to do their's better. It worked AWESOME and I LOVED IT!!! Thanks Babe!


Welcome first week of summer! Oh I forgot a huge thing. On Saturday afternoon the boys had their first playoff game. Brigham pitched the first 3 of 4 innings, 61 pitches--he is only allowed 70 in a game. He did AMAZING!!! They only scored 2 and he made most of the outs or had a part in them. We scored 5 the first inning because they walked us a lot. The final score was 5 to 3 I think. Spencer made a huge catch in the last inning to seal the deal! IT was super hot and stressful. Fun though! Another game on Wednesday.
