~ A Neglected Blog ~

I know I do neglect this thing ever since we changed internet service we have dial up or broadband (something suppppppeeeerrrrr slow) so it takes me forever to do this thing!

I will try to start taking some pics & updating it again!!

~ Fall Baseball ~

Cade is on a new team for the fall baseball season.  He did not know any of the kids but he seems like he is fitting in well.  Fall baseball is short only 6 weeks, which is great since he is playing Soccer at the sametime...Busy Boy! 

"Hit Streak"

He's a stud!

Blowing Bubbles while he is running the bases!

He's a pitcher on this team too & he did amazing this weekend!

This one is signed up for soccer we just have not heard from a coach or anything...can't wait to watch her play too, it will be cute!! She is soo cute & is so excited.  She told me today to "just drop me off at soccer practice, ok MOM?"  "ummmm NO" was my answer to that!

~ Cam's Pink & Purple Bike ~

Cam & her big girl bike....

This is Cade's old bike that Bumpa Chuck painted for her in the colors that she picked out. It was yellow & to her that was a "Boy Color"

She needed a bigger bike right after she learned to ride.

Big Girl & so proud of her bike

~ First Day Of 3rd Grade ~

Cade had his first day of 3rd grade on the 4th at his new school. Where we live the k-2 go to one school & the 3-6th go to the Intermediate school.

He likes his teacher a lot, her name is Mrs. Knudsen.

He is riding his bike to school this year, so he is enjoying that as well.

They are so happy to have their Hunter recovering sooo well and just being Hunter again!

He was even able to snorkle! I'd say he is doing great!

~ Grand Lake ~

We went to a friends cabin in Grand Lake in Colorado & had an amazing time. This was our first time going there & we loved it!

Cade caught some fish....

We had quite a few MOOSE in the back yard!! This dude had no fear he is at the deck eating breakfast while we are eating breakfast!!

 another one taking a swim!

This one was running on an island & he ran by these people & scared them to death!! Moose can be dangerous!!

This was the one eating in the back yard right next to the house, the kids thought that was awsome!

Another one in the back yard!

We practiced shooting some cans..as you can see mommy was having too much fun!!

The BIG MOOSE with HUGE antlers!!! He was in the neighbors yard...whew!

We went bowling at the tiny bowling ally

~I Can Ride My Bike with NO...Training Wheels! ~

Today Camryn had a HUGE milestone in her life!!She has been practinig about a week of riding non - stop so she could get up the courage to get the training wheels off, And today she did it!! She is doing so well, I can't believe it !

In this one Cade is sooo excited for her that he wants to help her but he gets worried that she will fall.. (even though she hasn't fallen yet) but he can't let go of the bike, he is too scared!!

And also he is riding MOM's bike that is WAY too big for him & he looks silly on it! But he loves riding it!!

~ Chad has always wanted...~

Chad has always wanted to see deer out his back yard. The other day there were 2 bucks & 1 female deer out in the back field of our fence. It is kinda unusual because usually there are not deer out there they stay more closer to the hills & the wooded area around the corner. I have seen a Mountain Lion running out there in the middle of the day, but that was it...& that was pretty freaky too me!

~ Triple Crown Tournament ~

Busy past weekend!!

Cade was asked to fill in for a team that needed a player for this weekends Triple Crown Tournament. The team name is Thunder & he had a blast. Not only did we have a 3 day tourney but we also had visitors "Mama Pam" & "G.G". We spent 3 full days - Friday, Saturday & Sunday at the ball field in the 103 degree heat!!

It was well worth it watching our Cader shine on the ball field with his great talent!

Camryn would not get in any pics!!

They took second place

Getting his trophy

This is their cute thing they do before the games.....they are shouting "THUNDER, THUNDER, THUNDER" & swaying back & forth....So freaking cute!! All of the boys treated him so nice, even though they did not know him that well. He made a great impression on them all & many parents have told me "he is a very Respectable boy" on the team. We are so proud of the boy he is turning out to be.

This was the only "grand slam" hit all weekend by the team....

Can you guess who hit it???

My Cader did!! Whoot, Whoot!

Then the next day he hit a "Home Run" He was soooo excited!
& so was the team as they all ran out to meet him at "Home Plate"



He got to pitch too !! He is an amazing Pitcher.

One of his best positions to play for sure, & realy fun to watch him pitch too!

Usually 3 up & 3 down!! rarely a walk!!

It was hot, hot, hot!!!
