Home run

Brady decided to play baseball this year here in Morgan and he hasn't played since Tee-ball.  He has learned a lot-especially about hitting.  Two games ago he hit 2 home runs (one out of the park and one in the park).  It was so fun to watch how excited Brady was and how excited his team was.  I have to admit that I had more fun watching Chad watching Brady than I did watching Brady round the bases.  Brady was on a lucky streak because he hit another home run during his last game, too.  Way to go, Brady!

Anthony is a DECADE!

Anthony turned 10 on June 16th.  On the night of April 15th we asked Anthony one more time what he wanted for his birthday...........he still didn't know.  So, he woke up to Dr. Pepper and money.  When he got his money he said, "Well, I think I just might save it."  One thing I LOVE about Anthony is that he is always content with what he has.  He never knows what to ask for when it is his birthday or Christmas.  We asked him what he wanted to do on his birthday and he said he just wanted to stay home in his pajamas with his family and chill.  He rarely wants to call a friend because he is happiest when he is home with his family.

Because Anthony is 10, here are 10 things that make Anthony special:

1.  Anthony is just a cool kid.  It is so cute how everyone immediately likes him.

2.  Anthony is a hard worker and a great helper.  

3.  Anthony is SO smart.  He is willing to take his time when doing a project or assignment.

4.  Anthony is patient.

5.  Anthony is a great brother.  He is always willing to share and tells his family how much he loves them.

6.  Anthony cares more about others than himself.  He loves to serve and help others.  

7.  Anthony has a strong testimony and loves the gospel.

8.  Anthony loves to have fun and he is SO funny.

9.  Anthony is grateful and honest.

10.  Anthony is always happy.  Life is good for Anthony. :)

We are SO lucky to have Anthony in our family--we don't know what we would do without him!

Anthony did a Robotics Camp here in Morgan for the summer.

Anthony couldn't wait to turn 10 so he could attend the Space Camp in Pleasant Grove.  He was only able to choose 5 of his closest friends.  He chose to see his friends from school last year and brought one friend down from Morgan.  From left to right: Bode, Preston, Mitch, Carter, Anthony and Crew.

We went to In and Out afterwards.

Happy 14th Anniversary Honey Bunny

I can't believe that it has been 14 years since Chad and I have been married.  It truly has been the BEST decision I have ever made in my life.  I love that Chad always makes me want to be a better person because he is so good.  I trust him with my life and I know that he will choose the right in any situation.  Chad often hears that everyone thinks they are his best friend because he simply makes you feel that way.  Chad is genuinely happy when others succeed and deeply cares about others.  We love to be together.......whenever.........wherever.  Simply put..........he is the greatest.  Love you, Chaddie!

The Tooth Fairy

Brynn is WAY into the Tooth Fairy and with the current loss of her 6th tooth, she is into the Tooth Fairy more than ever.  Maybe it is the magic of it all or just for the fact that it is an actual fairy.  She usually leaves a note for the Tooth Fairy, but this time it was VERY specific.  Her questions were:

Are there other kinds of fairies?

How tall are you?

Are you a boy or a girl?

Where do you live?

What is your name?

Please take a picture and give it to me.

Well, the Tooth Fairy sure had her work cut out for her with this note!  So, the Tooth Fairy paid Brynn a special visit with a picture and a note.  Thanks Tooth Fairy.......... :)

This is the picture the Tooth Fairy left for Brynn under her pillow.

These are a few of my favorite things.......(sing it with me!)

I love goofy kids!

If you have never hung pictures with these velcro strips, you need to try them!  They don't make holes and they don't ruin your paint.  Plus, you can readjust them when you need to make the picture even.  Awesome!

I love getting my DAILY surprise note and a flower from Cate.  Thanks CC!

I love visitors!

I LOVE a sleeping baby!  :)

I love watching my kids read.

My Aunt Karon gave me these baby socks that look like shoes.  You guessed it.........love 'em!

Once again, I love visitors.  Here we are with the Cahoon family.

Kim Cahoon and Ethan.  Did I mention we love visitors?  Come visit!!!!!!!

I love taking my kids to Temple Square.  They talked with Sister Cook and Sister Dibb this day.  It was so fun!

I love paper products right now.  I'm not going green this year.  Wait a minute...........at least I have a recycle can.  :)

I love "daddy hair do's."  Chad did Cate's hair this day while I was gone and bless his heart for it.  He decided to venture out on his own and try the curling iron.  I couldn't understand how he did Cate's "curls" at the bottom.  He reenacted the hair curling scene for me.  I noticed that he was twisting the curling iron in the opposite direction.  I giggled and giggled.  So, if you want curls like these, just twist the curling iron in the opposite direction.  :)
