Grandma and her 6 Grandsons

Kallen and TyleKallen 18 months old

Steph and Andrew had their new baby. They did not find our what they were having, but were happy to have a new baby brother for Kallen. They are 18 months apart and will be such good buds. She stayed so tiny throughout here whole pregnancy. She is amazing at being so dedicated to exercise while pregnant. (2 half marathons during this pregnancy!) The delivery went fairly quick, with a couple of scares (low baby heart rate), but everything turned out fine. He was born on Sunday July 12th at 7:07 pm. He weighed 6 lbs 14 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. He is such a cute little guy. Stephanie is excited to be a stay-at-home Mom now. Kallen has adjusted well to a new little one at his house. This was # 6 Grandson for my Dad & Mom.

Congrats Steph and Andrew

Adam and Emily

A couple of weekends ago we went down to the Manti pageant with Adam, Emily, and their kids. We brought their boys down with us and hung out. It was fun to watch the pageant. We drove down and back the same night, so we were really tired the next day.

We have now visited the Oquirrh Mountain Temple with both of our families. It was such a pretty temple, and unlike any other temple set-up. Ryan and I have both volunteered at the temple. It is so nice to be able to just be in the temple. I could just sit in the celestial room all day. We are so excited to have the temple so close to us.

On the 4th of July we headed up to my Mom and Dads. We started with the kids parade, that we only caught the very tail end of. Then we went over to the Kaysville city parade. The kids came back with so much candy. They threw out so much candy, you had to really watch so you or the babies didn't get pelted in the head. After the parade we went swimming at the Farmington pool. The kids all loved it. Austin jumped off the high dive most of the time. Logan went off the low dive quite a few times and before we left he even did the high dive a few times. My boys have turned into little fish. They love the water, which Ryan is so glad that they do. It amazes him how easy and natural it is for them to swim, since he never learned how.

We had a BBQ then went and watched the city fireworks. It was a really fun holiday. This is what we have done for the past 5-6 years, so it has somewhat turned into a tradition.

School is OVER!

School is officially over! The boys were done with school on July 2nd. Logan had a program the week before, it was "America" themed. They sand patriotic songs and talked about different states and facts about America. It was really cute. The last week of school they held their awards ceremony. Austin got a good attendance certificate. They both got honor roll medals, and coyote pride medals. To receive their coyote pride they have to score so high on math and spelling tests, do book reports, and many other things. I was glad that they both were able to get it. Austin also got a national fitness recognition. I love to see how excited they are to get their medals. Logan wore his the rest of the day.

Baseball is over (at least for a couple of weeks)

Baseball season ended a few weeks ago, so I decided I had better blog it before we started fall ball. It was such a good baseball year. The boys really enjoyed playing. Logan had a great team which took 2nd in the PeeWee division, and Austin played on a competitive league that took 1rst. I was so glad that both of the boys received trophies. They were really excited about that.

School Plays

This year our school was funded for a drama teacher. Each class put on a play for the other students and parents. Logan had the main part in their play "Sneetches" and Austin was in "The Billy Goats Gruff." They both did so good. It was so neat to see how well they performed and knew all of their lines. They both truly enjoyed being in a play.

Wheeler Farm

I am so far behind in my blog, so I thought I would do some catch-up today. These are a few pictures from Wheeler Farm back in June. I went with my friend Tammy and her friend and kids. The kids had a lot of fun. Blake loved to chase the birds.
