Barnes Park

We went for a Sunday picnic at Barnes Park

in Kaysville. The kids had fun feeding the ducks.

It's kind of a good thing they are gated in or they would

attack anyone with bread.

Easton said "Hey mom look that one has a mohawk like me"

Berklie was so excited that she could see the ducks

she would try to throw the bread over the fence, but

it didn't quite make it over, then she would pick it up and

try again until she finally stuck her hand thru to drop the bread.

The cutest baby duckies with their really protective

Mommy. The Seagulls would try to get by the babies and

she would try to bite them.

Kirra, Quincie and Berklie going to feed more ducks.

She finally got the hang of it. When she first saw the

geese she freaked out and ran away, but then realized

the fence was saving her.

A fun activity we will be doing more of this summer.

Delle

We took advantage of the warm weather and

headed to Delle for some riding with the Crocketts.

We have always parked by this coral, but have never seen

animals so the kids were excited to see horses.

The kiddos ready to hit the bikes.

It was really muddy from all the rain

the past week, so you can imagine how much

fun the kids (and husbands) had getting as muddy

as they could.

Stockton is getting really good

and daring on his 4 wheeler, it's almost

time for him to try the motorcycle.

The gang.

Some of our tracks in the mud.

Peyton would get going and yell, "I can't turn"

with all of the mud on the tires no wonder.

My rancher had no problems getting us around

and I stayed pretty clean too.

The boys drove by this pond until they couldn't take it

anymore and HAD to go right thru it.

And then Skee followed.

Good thing the kids had goggles on.

Skee's shirt was white.

But they sure did have fun.

Kyle, Nick, Skee and Stockton found a hill with

water at the bottom...that didn't stop them

even when they almost collided (because they couldn't

stop) they were all soaking wet, time to go home.

It might take 2 times to the car wash to

clean off the bikes, but it sure was worth it.

Tuesday

Tuesdays at the Bees game kids eat free

so we hit the ball field again.

They also had the bounce house, playground and

train for the kids to play on.

The boys being crazy down the slide.

Riding the train

I think they were hoping it was a lot faster!

Berklie has her pagent wave down, she waved at

everyone that we passed.

These 3 boys are crazy they were playing family

and all wanted to be the baby.

Farewell

Elder Chaz Emery had his mission

farewell on Sunday and did

an amazing job. Chaz has always been

a little shy and soft spoken...but up at that

pulpit he was a natural.

He will be an Excellent Missionary.

We love you Chaz.

Angels

Peyton and Stockton had their first baseball game

Monday night. They both did such an Awesome job.

We pulled Stockton up to pitching machine so he could

be on Peytons team

and were a little worried, they play with hard balls and

on dirt fields, but they did impress us.

Stockton getting ready to bat.

Sadly he never made it on base, but was such

a good sport when he struck out.

He is a really good hitter, I think the nerves got him.

Stockton up to bat.

Peyton up to bat.

Peyton made it to 2nd in one inning and then

home, he had some really good hits.

Peyton played short stop and outfield and did

very well in both.

Stockton played 3rd base and pitcher and ALMOST

had an amazing catch at pitcher....he is still trying

to work in the new glove.

Even though you lost, you still had fun.

Until next week....

Love you boys!!

GO UTES

After a VERY busy morning consisting of Baseball

practice for Peyton and Stockton,

Eastons soccer game then Peytons soccer

game we raced to the University of Utah

RED WHITE game.

The Utes won!!!

The kids had a blast and we saw tons of people supporting

our UTES!!

I thought Berklie would LOVE the Cheerleader, but

she didn't like them at all.

Todd and Skee at their best!!

Kapua Sai signing autographs for the kids

Bryce Bennion posing with the fam.

Neli A'asa

Remember how Berklie was terrified of the cute

little cheerleaders?? Well look at her she was not afraid

of a huge football player!!

We love Swoop

My mom was Chaz Walkers 5th grade teacher....

look how well he turned out!!

Matt Asiata was so nice he stayed and signed autographs

as he was getting yelled at by the coaches!!

I can't remember who this guys is, but he

must be pretty cool there were tons of people around him.

Ok his name is Koa Misi and will soon be drafted

the the NFL! (thanks Todd)

We are already excited about Football season

only a couple months left!

GO UTES

The Spiders

I love Easton so much, this kid is a blast

to be around.....unless for some reason his attitude

changes. So Fall season of soccer, he had

THAT attitude, he wouldn't play or kick or even

enter the field without crying or being stuck to

Skee's leg.

BUT this year (OK for his first game) he was

on FIRE. He made 6 goals and was aggressive and

ran fast and was happy, even when he got knocked to

the ground!!

Good job Easton

Way to go Spiders.

Opening night

The boys have started baseball and love it.

Nothing starts off a spring/summer season like watching

and playing baseball....so we went to the Bees

Season opener.

It was also a goodbye activity for the Packers...they

are moving and we will miss them a ton

(they can't get rid of us that easy!!)

We love Bumble

Awesome seats, waiting for the game to begin.

Berklie and Oakley

love them

The ladies

and our children

WOW that is a lot of kids!!

and this is how the husbands watch the game...

this one is for you Heather!!

After the game this kids (big kids) get to run the bases

after the fireworks show!

This family I love.

Yes I have an extra child, but he is like one

of our own!!
