Well my apologies for those of you that check my blog for updates and there hasn't been any- I'm more than a slacker! But here's what we've been up to the past couple of months!
Case's birthday was May 3 and he decided to have a friend party. It was so much fun. I totally thought I could handle 7 boys on my own but I sure am glad Kyle decided to help and come up with some fun games! And I'm really glad I have a big studio in the basement! It was perfect and I hope they all had fun.
Case and Kyle got to go to Lake Powell Striper Fishing with my dad, Uncle Todd, Uncle Travis, Truce and Collin. They left late on a thursday night and travelled all night, then stayed until late saturday night. Case learned alot and had lots of fun with the guys. The water was pretty chilly but Case dove in anyway, and caught the biggest fish! He was a happy boy and I think him and dad had a fun bonding experience. This picture even aired on "Roughin' It Outdoors."
Here's Case on his Kindergarten Graduation day! What a great year it has been with Mrs. Hulet as his teacher. She is amazing and Case has loved her sooo much! It was a great program and Case is ready for summer!
Here's our newest little addition to the family- Libby!!! We wanted to get Case a puppy for his birthday, and the day we were headed to St. George to buy a chocolate lab, my mom called and said that my cousin's yellow lab had just had 10 pups! Well, we decided that was the way to go so we waited for the pups to be ready. Every time we went to Enterprise for about 6 weeks we stopped and saw them. Eva is such an animal lover! There were black and yellows and we decided on a yellow. She sure is a sweetie and puts up with Eva's tending and loving. She's growing fast and is a good puppy!
Happy 4th of July! We had such a fun day yesterday. We headed up to the annual races at 1:45, ready for them to start at 2. We love the races, especially because Grandpa Troy announces them every year! Well it was Eva's turn first to race in her age group and guess what? She won! Yay! Then it was Quades turn, and he won! Then they had a race-off, which was so cute, I love the picture of him looking at Eva smiling while they are racing each other. Then it was Case's turn to race, and he's been the winner for the past few years and he won again! Gotta use those long legs for something! Then I got a picture of Quade, Eva and Case with their money, and Quade crumpled his up and chucked it! It was so funny. Anyway, then Taleena raced and won her age group too! What a bunch of winners we are! :) After all the age groups had gone, my dad started doing some fun races to get everyone involved and he did a piggy-back race, so Slade had Quade and Kyle had Case and I got this picture of them racing! Hilarious! What a fun day at the races. Then we had a yummy yummy barbeque at my parents house, the weather was amazing so we were outside all afternoon and evening. Then we headed to Cedar to see the fireworks. We pulled up right as they started and headed home the minute they were over. Eva loves the fireworks so much. She asked to see them again the second she woke up this morning. Whew! We have been busy the past couple of months and we are getting ready for the baby the end of August. The greenhouses are producing lots of tomatoes so that keeps us busy too. Thanks for keeping up with us even if I don't very often!
