Hard Work!

Marley thought it would be fun to learn how to mow the lawn with Brad. After they were finished they noticed that a neighbor's yard needed a mow and did their yard too. Mars looked so cute working hard!

Cousins

We had cousins over for a late night full of swimming, playing games, BBQ, and decorating cupcakes. The kids had so much fun!

Swim Team

Marley and Miles were so excited to do swim team this year. They were on the Stapley Swordfish team. It was so fun to watch them learn and practice new swim strokes during practices and to compete in swim meets each week. Way to go M&M!

Uncle Rich and Aunt Teresa's Cabin

Brad was asked to play in a softball tournamant so we went down to Showlow to watch him play. Brad played baseball in highschool and always plays church ball. We enjoy going to the ball fields to cheer him on. We stayed at Uncle Rich and Aunt Teressa's cabin. While we were there we enjoyed fishing, taking the paddle boat and fishing boat out on the lake, and watching Marley and Miles get up enough courage to swim in the cold lake. Each time Mars and Miles would throw their fishing lines out they would instantly catch a yellow belly catfish. They were so excited about it!

Primary Softball

Every year our stake has primary softball three mornings during the summer. The boys play at 5:30am and the girls play at 6:30am. On the last day we have a breakfast afterwards. Since I am in the primary presidency we get everything together so I asked Brad if he'd like to coach. Brad was the coach for Marley's team. The mornings were early, but it was so much fun!

Wii Golf

Miles and Brad love to play golf together on the Wii!

Cupcakes

Marley and Gracie have spent much time in the kitchen baking together this summer. They are always coming up with something fun to make. They decided to bake and decorate yummy vanilla cupcakes.

Summertime!

There is nothing like swimming in the pool with neighborhood friends. The kids love to have races, play dibble dabble, dive for diving sticks, play PIG, and enjoy cooling off in the water. Thankgoodness summertime is here!

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day my wish was to go to the cabin/camping together. We had such a fun time on the quads, fishing, looking for animals, making smores, and spending time together. I love being a mom and spending time with our family in the mountains!
