Well school is out, we officially have a 2nd grader and a 5th grader now, eyeyiyi! It is so nice to have a break from school, it was starting to get old. :/ We started our summer off with a bang, we picked up the kids from school on the last day and left to go camping. We met up with some friends on the mountain and set up camp, unfortunately an uninvited guest decided to show up and ruin the party. RAIN. So when the going got tough, we got going. (really we had a temple cleaning assignment and then went to church.) Went back up after church and brought the good weather back with us because it was decent the rest of the time.
Brody and his buddy, Phoenix.
The kids rode their bikes up and down this hill the whole time we were there, when it wasn't raining anyway.
Hudson got this balance bike for Christmas it has been the best thing ever. He is becoming quite the dare devil on it. To him it is his motorcycle..notice the goggles. You can often find him riding around the neighborhood wearing a motorcycle helmet, goggles, gloves and boots. It seems to give everyone a good chuckle.
What was amazing only 2 kids went flying over their handlebars, luckily no broken bones, just bumps and bruises.
I got out the pool on monday it was in the 90's
They had their fun and then the wind picked up and we packed everything inside, and then the wind picked up some more, and then some more. That evening the temp dropped 40 degrees in about an hour and we were battening down the hatches as a cold front rolled in. The next day was rainy and in the 50's, this morning my grass was frosty. Heaven forbid we have warm temps for more than one day, we'd all melt around here.
Baseball season is here. Baseball season is busy, busy, busy but good, good, good. Braiden plays pitching machine on monday, wednesday. Brody plays boys t-ball and Hudson plays co-ed t-ball on tuesday, thursday. Nate and I usually have to divide and conquer the tues thurs games. It's fun and something to keep us busy.
Pitching machine is fun to watch because these little guys make some pretty good plays. Braiden is turning out to be a pretty good ball player, his skills have improved immensely!
Don't have pics of Brody and Hudson playing yet, But there is nothing cuter and more entertaining than to watch the little tikes play t-ball. One of their favorite parts of the baseball season is coming to the ball park with pockets full of change so they can frequent the snack bar!
Lets see, now lets talk books. Just finished Crossed By: Ally Condie (Matched trilogy) it was Terrible with a capital T, I don't even want to bother with the 3rd book now. Hate to say it. Had to make everything right in the world though, Edenbrooke by: Julianne Donaldson was fabulous, had a hard time putting it down. 19th Century England romance, it dosen't get any better.
Wish me luck, the Sawtooth Relay is on Saturday. Our start time is a much more respectable 5:45 a.m. (remember last year?) so I will be running my first leg at about 8:00 a.m. I am so so so not ready this year, but I have every intention of beating my last years times, we shall see ( I am running the same legs.) GOOOO Housewives of Heyburn!
Signing off for now, I have a ton to do before we leave in 24 hours, like making a pot of carb heavy potato soup!

Your camping trip was an adventure! Idaho spring/early summer weather is as changeable as Utah weather - the only thing you can count on is that it will change very suddenly! Looks like you will have a busy summer - and I do wish you well on your relay! I am so impressed that you are a runner! Great exercise!
