Cherry Hill

We went to Cherry Hill on Thursday for some camping and water park fun with Brent & Sandy and family and Louise, Julie and Brad. We camped for 2 nights and had a great time swimming. The kids look forward to Cherry Hill every summer! Carter and Hali have turned into little fish and loved everything. Paige was happy to spend her day in the lazy river or going down the little slide in Pirate's Cove.

The Angels

Carter played on the Angels team this year in baseball. Games started in April and ended the last part of June. We were bundled up in coats and blankets for most of the games. We probably had 5 games that were nice and warm. He did a good job and kept us running all week long. He had 2 games a week and practice twice a week. The coaching staff was awesome! They were dedicated and taught good sportsmanship. It was a really fun team to watch.

They ended up as the American League Champions and went on to the Cal Ripkin City Championship and took 2nd place there. The above picture is the opening ceremony for the City Championship. Carter is #8 (8th one from the left). The positions Carter played throughout the season were pitcher, outfield, and 3rd base. Way to go, Carter! We look forward to next year!

The Butterflies

Hali played T-ball on the Butterflies team this year. She played the whole month of June and had 2 games a week and practice usually once a week. She did a great job and has learned a lot about baseball just from watching Carter play. See how cute she is!

June was dedicated to baseball at our house this year. That's mostly all we have done! And we've loved it! All 3 kids also started piano lessons this month.

Girl's Weekend

I went to Orem this weekend for a friend's surprise birthday party and took Hali with me. Kari went down with us and Mom met us in Provo for a fun get together. I wasn't much fun Friday night because I was sick and just needed to sleep. Saturday was filled with lots of shopping and lunch at Red Robin. We all had a great time, especially Hali. She loved her bed and wanted to take a picture of it to show Carter and Paige. It was an "L" shaped pull-out couch and she wanted to sleep on the end. But when she layed down on it, she discovered that it didn't fit her and she moved into my bed.

We had a fun time and hope to make this a yearly tradition!

The Bar

Today we had the opportunity to sit in on a session of the Idaho Supreme Court in Boise, as Todd was sworn in as an attorney and admitted to the Idaho Bar. It was such an exciting day and a neat experience. Way to go, Todd!!!





We all went to dinner afterwards at The Old Spaghetti Factory. Happy Birthday, Mom! Thanks for spending it with us!

Easter

The kids always love looking for their Easter baskets. Paige found hers in a kitchen cupboard, Hali's was under the desk, and Carter's was in a closet in the laundry room. The Easter bunny filled lots of eggs this year, a few were hidden just a little too hard!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa Durney

Grandpa Durney (Todd's grandpa) turned 100 years old yesterday and a celebration was held for him today. He is an amazing man! He keeps track of how many grandchildren he has, including great-grandchildren. Our kids love to go visit Grandpa and he always calls them by name. He has a great sense of humor and a very positive attitude!
