First Day of School


I can't believe the summer is gone and it is time for school again. The first day of school was last Monday. Brodie only went for a little while, yesterday was his first real day. I can't believe that I have 2 kids in school. The afternoons are going to be quiet around here, with 2 gone and 1 taking a nap. I can't believe how big they are getting.
Ready for Kindergarten!
Austin was so excited to start second grade!

All of my cute kiddos!

9 years and counting

Nick and I celebrated our 9th anniversary on July 5th, I can't believe we have been married that long!

We didn't want to spend a lot of money so we decided to borrow his sisters kayak and spend some time enjoying the outdoors. We went up Ogden Canyon to Pineview. First we stopped for lunch at the bottom of the canyon and then it was kayaking time. It was so nice and relaxing. It was a lot of fun doing something a little different for our date.
The lake was so beautiful and the weather was perfect.
I told Nick that we needed one of these so we could do this more often. Thanks Angie and Marcus for letting us borrow the kayak and for watching our kids. You are GREAT!

Thanks Nick for 9 wonderful years of marriage. It has been an adventure.

4th of July

We had a fun, but very busy 4th of July weekend. We saw 3 firework shows, had 2 BBQs, 1 parade/water fight and lots of family and friends. The only bad part was that I forgot to take very many pictures. So I only have a few to share.
Kaysville parade and water fight.
My great family at our last firework show of the weekend!
I love the 4th of July!

Raptors Game

Austin's baseball team got to be baseball buddies with the Ogden Raptors. We all got free general admission and then his team got to run out on the field and stand by a player during the National Anthem. Austin thought it was pretty cool that he got to run out on a "real" baseball field. We have not been to a baseball game in a really long time so it was a lot of fun!

Brodie's Birthday!

Brodie is 5!!! It sure it crazy to think that I will have 2 kids in school next year. Grandma and Grandpa Schwerin were able to come out for Brodie's birthday. Nick had surgery late that afternoon so we decided to have a party at lunch time. Brodie decided to have pizza, strawberries, and cheetos for lunch.

After lunch it was present time, he got a lot of great stuff. Here are a few of his favorites. He also got a new bike but I forgot to take a picture of it.
Then it was cupcake and ice cream time!
Enjoying cupcakes on the front porch with a couple of the neighbor kids.

We love our little Brodie and love having him in our family!

Baseball Players

Austin and Brodie both just finished up with baseball. This was the first year for them to try it and they both did a great job!
Austin played machine pitch so it took some practice, but he did GREAT!! He really enjoyed playing he told me he like it better than soccer. He also got to be on a team with his friend Nixon which made it a lot more fun for him.
He got really good at playing out in the field too. It was a lot of fun watching him get better as the season went on.
Brodie played t-ball and it was a lot of fun to watch. They are super funny at this age. Every time the batter would hit the ball the team out in the field would race to the ball and wrestle for it. Then whoever would finally get it would throw it to first. As you can tell by the pictures there was all little bit of goofing off too.
Brodie was so funny when he would be up to bat, I don't know where he got this but he would hit the bat on the ground before he swung to hit the ball. Then he would slide into home plate (with the tee on it) when he came around the bases. What a funny kid!

They both really enjoyed playing and I loved watching. I was a little sad when the season ended.

Catching Up...

I have not blogged in forever! I don't know why I keep doing this. I do a few posts to catch up and then I don't blog for a long time. Then I get so far behind it seems overwhelming to catch up again. So I am just going to do the important things from the past few months and hopefully I won't get so far behind again!
