Frankie's First Marathon!!

Frankie Ran the Utah Valley Marathon in June! The Weather was Perfect the race was a killer and the kids were excited to see dad finish. They made a cute sign and after weeks of joking about Frankie pooping his pants while he ran, Sera decorated a diaper for him!

The look on his face in this picture almost says it all!!

He spots us on puts on a happy face! Almost there!!

The kids join him to cross the finish

He did a great job. This was a very hard course with a LOT of hills. They started up the canyon past deer creek reservoir and finished in downtown Provo. He Finished 26.2 miles in 3 hours and 40 minutes. About 10 minutes slower than his goal but I think he did great for his first run!!

Great Job Frankie! It didn't inspire me enough to go out and run a marathon but you do inspire me to do better!

Piano Recital

The Kids did the end of the year recital. Of course they all had their songs memorized and did a perfect job.

Boston was up first. Played like it was no big deal and did a great job!

Alexa played her song perfectly and they flashed us a very cute grin right after.

Sera has really improved this year and played a tough song and did it perfect! She did a great job.

All three got a special award at the end for the best practicing. They do a great job. I don't even have to bug them.

Way to go guys, you all did a wonderful job!

Oh what do we do in the summertime???

This is what you will find us doing most of the time!

A Little Naked Irrigation Anyone??

What good is irrigation if you can't run in it naked!

Look how happy it makes you! This little guy stood at the window watching it fill the lawn so excited for his Bubba and Sissy's to get home from swim team to play in it with him. When they finally got home he stripped so fast. I thought he would at least leave a diaper on. No WAY!!

Alexa was a trooper and ran around with him for a LONG time. She is an amazing big sister!

Most of the time he pretended he was a boat

Imagine hearing the boat sounds now!

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME!!!

This stud just played his first year of Baseball. He did machine pitch and did AWESOME. He had never played before, didn't even own a mitt!

This is his team. They were the Division CHAMPIONS!! It was such a fun season to watch.

Boston got the ROOKIE OF THE YEAR award. You could count on him for a base hit EVERY TIME, he became a killer 3rd baseman, and as always had a great attitude. This is his buddy Ethan, they had a lot of fun together.

I am so proud of him. I can't believe how well he played. I guess I should have put him in T-ball or something!?!

GO RAYS!!

End of the Year Activities!

Miss Alex got to launch her Rocket. Her's flew so high that she lost it in a backyard! This is her two friends, Brooke and Paige.

Beck Took Swim lessons From Aunt Shelley. He had a love hate relationship.

After 1 sesssion he can swim to Frankie and I and will dive for rings. Way to go!!

We drained our pool and had it cleaned. The kids loved plying in it while it was re-filling!

Alexa trying to teach Beckom like Shelley does!

Student Council

Sera and Alexa both ran for student council this year. Sera for Vice President and Alex for Secretary. They Both did such a great job. I can't figure out how they get up there and don't look nervous at all. I wish their amazing talent would rub off on me!

Alexa was Granny Alexa. She Totally got into character, used a shaky voice, walked really slow, and did and EXCELLENT job! She had some tough competition and didn't win this year but she is ready to take it next year! We are so proud of her and her great attitude.

This is SUMO SERA.... or as she will be called next year... Vice President Sera! This girl even got up and added some funny parts to her speech while on stage. Great Job Sera!!

We are so proud of these girls and their desire to be leaders. They are both so sweet and such hard workers. Great Job! Mom and Dad are so PROUD to call you ours!
