Mini Me

Bryce has been going through his gear issued to him by the Marine Corps making sure every thing is in order before his deployment, and the boys decided they would help. I caught them on the front lawn trying to pick up one of Bryce's packs. It was pretty funny. If they were able to lift it up they didn't stay standing long.

Noland tried to help Brenan lift it up. No sucess

Brenan couldn't even walk with this gear on, that alone was too heavy

Can you believe he has to wear all of that gear?

ball games, ball games, ball games

Monday thru Thursday nights all we do is go to ball games. Bryce and Rylee both play on Monday and Wednesday nights, and Noland and Brenan both play on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Rashele decided not to play this year, she didn't like it much last year. I played with Bryce last year, but, I decided it was too hard with both of us playing and he enjoys it much more than I do, so I just cheer him on. It's much more fun to be on the bleachers watching anyway. Here are just a few highlights from some of their games.
Bryce up at bat, and on third base waiting to run home
Noland at bat (this was a home run hit)

Relay for Life

The Relay for Life was a lot of fun this year. I took my kids for the first time this year since we walked in honor of my dad we thought it would be fun to do it as a family. I invited a the family of a little girl in our ward that has leukemia to walk with us this year also. It was neat to see her lead the survivors lap, it brought tears to my eyes.

The Jazz bear was there and we were able to get some pictures with him.



The weather didn't cooperate with us very well hence the coats, we got rained on quite a bit, but we still had fun. My dad wasn't able to be there this year because of his trip to Brazil, hopefully we can all make it next year. And we would love to have anybody who would like to come with us next year. .
