Lake Outing

We went to see Cars 2 yesterday, which the boys LOVED!!  We got a large popcorn since we get a free refill for a treat during the movie. We left the theater with a full bucket, didn't even make a dent in the refill!  So we took the popcorn and the boys to the lake to feed the ducks and fish!

 Tommy kept asking for a fishing pole to catch a fish with!

Utah Summer Games

This weekend David's baseball team the Knights went to Cedar City to take place in the Utah Summer Games tournament.  We drove up Friday morning and played at 4pm and at 6pm.  After the last game Friday we had a team dinner at Chili's then the boys went swimming at the hotel. I think we maxed out the pool's occupancy limit and sound limit! Saturday the boys had 2 more games to play! They didn't make it into the final championship game, so we got to come home early.  But they played great and we had fun!!  

Progress

Tommy started swim lessons this week.  He was SO excited on Monday to swim with his friends, he even wore his new Lightning McQueen swimsuit

Then came time to actually get in the water!  All bets were off, he screamed, cried and had a huge meltdown about going in the water.  One of the pool managers took him from me and sat on the edge of the pool with him till he got his feet in the water while I was hiding in the lifeguard break room!

We have been going to swim lessons every day this week.  Yesterday he sat on the first step of the pool, still not participating, but on the step because he had blue Lightning McQueen in his pocket!  Today, again with blue Lightning in his pocket he went in and participated and had fun!!  YAY Tommy!!  Hopefully he keeps getting better and braver every day!


(not the best video, but it's Tommy swimming with his teacher & the kickboard!)

Red Sox

Little League is officially over!! 

 David got recruited to be on AAA minors Red Sox this season. And they had an AMAZING season!!  The team finished first place in the league and went on to the TOC (Tournament of Champions).  The boys played a game every night this week and dominated the other teams.  They lost last night in the semi-finals leaving them in 3rd place!  We had a great group of boys, fun families and amazing coaches this year for little league! 

David

 Happy Birthday David!!  It is hard to believe that you are 10 years old today!! You are a great kid, and a super big brother!  I know your brothers love you and look up to you!  We love having you in our family and are so proud of you!  We love you David and hope your day and year are great!

Big Boy

Nathan is officially big! :(  Such a sad day today!  I took down Nathan's crib and let him have his big boy race car bed! 

 He thought it was great fun to climb on and play on!

 When I put him down for his nap he wasn't to sure about laying on it, he looked at me a little funny when I laid him down and gave him a kiss.  I went to check on him and found him on the floor!  He's so sweet!! He is the oldest of the boys to move out of his crib into the race car bed.  Both David and Tommy moved out right at their 1 year old birthday, Nathan is 17 months old.  It's so hard to let my baby grow!!
