Summer Sports Saturday

Today was full of sports! It started out with T-ball pictures for Eli at 7:30am. After that he had his first T-ball game! He did a great job. He is so excited to finally be able to participate on the community sports teams. Then Kenzi had her basketball pictures at 2pm. Her very first basketball game was at 3:30 and was followed by another at 4:30. She did a very good job, especially considering the fact that she hadn't been to any team practices because we were out of town. She just jumped right in and played her best! She kinda watched the other players and did what they did. I took her by myself because Spencer had to put in extra time at work. I'm sure that it was funny watching me try to explain some things to her considering I have no clue about the game of basketball! I mostly just tried to be encouraging and complimentitive!


What a hit!
Eli running home!

That's my girl, tallest one on the team!
She is really in there!

Our Summer Vacation

We had a great time visiting our families in Utah for our summer vacation this year. We stayed at my parents house. They live on a lake so the kids are always out there fishing! It is pretty rewarding since the blue gill fish bite about every 20 seconds! Kenzi can even take the fish off of the hook all by herself. For Father's day my dad got a fire pit so we got to roast marshmallows and have smores. Can a pregnant woman be more content??

Over Father's Day weekend we went up to the Hammon family cabin. We had a great time spending time with Spencer's family. The kids absolutely loved playing with their cousins! It was nice to get together, hang out and enjoy one another's company.

We rode 4 wheelers!

Eli got to shoot a real BB gun for the first time!

Then we went to Lagoon, an amusement park in Utah. We hadn't been since Kenzi was about 2years old. The kids had a blast riding on all of the kiddie rides. I think that Eli's favorite ride was the bumper cars because he got to drive his own car. Kenzi's favorite ride was the rock-o-plane Ferris wheel.My Mom, Dad and brother came with us. It was a lot of fun!

Last, but not least, we went to my little sister's wedding! She made a gorgeous bride. It was neat to be able to go with her to the temple and have the whole family there. It was a beautiful wedding!

Looking Down

One of the people I most look up to in life is my Granny. She is one of those people who is always there with the best advice full of wisdom. She is patient, loving, and a great listener. I have called her many times with my trivial problems and with hard struggles. She is a great example of how we should live, always serving. I feel so lucky to be part of this family! Granny once told me that when the sky looks like this, it means that Heavenly Father is looking down on us. I always think about that whenever I see these beautiful rays of light. It is nice to have visual reminders that we have a loving Heavenly Father!
