The OK Sharps came into town too and the kids had tons and tons of cuzzie fun!!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

This is the first time I've had 2 kids on the same school schedule!! Hallie & Jake love to ride their bikes together.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISABEL!! #2

We had a cupcakes & sprinklers party with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, neighbors....it was a fun way to celebrate our little Iz :)

MASON'S FIRST DAY!

HALLIE'S PIANO RECITAL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MASON!!! #5We celebrated this fun occasion at Chuck e Cheeses. Mason had his heart set on going to Pirate Island but they had a fire there a week or so before his birthday so this was the next best thing.

July

The boys were SOOOO excited.

June

Isabel spent most of the summer getting dragged around to everyone else's games, activities, etc. She loves it though and with that big personality of hers always manages to bring at least a little of the attention back to her. We love this little girl!

Mason did the Start Smart baseball program this summer. It was so cute seeing all those tiny kids working on their baseball skills. Mason loved finally having his own team and his own games after years of watching Hallie & Jake.

Our fam bought the "pass of all passes" this year and it has been our non-stop source of summer entertainment. We spent many days at Trafalga, 7 Peaks, Owls Games, etc. It has been great!
The pic above is all of us soaking wet after playing out on the boats and here are Hallie, Jake, Mason & Kyle on the rock wall at Trafalga. They also have laser tag, mini golf, bumper cars, etc. The kids loved it!

Hallie played on a softball league this year. They take their baseball & softball very seriously down here in Spanish Fork, it's been fun to see the kids improve as they move up through the rec program.

All my favorite boys at the ward father/son campout up at Payson Lakes.

I LOVE THESE BOYS!!

Note: those gigantic marshmallows are NOT ideal for s'mores.

May

Pathetic! I know....but I am at least trying to catch up a bit :)


Here are the kids on their last day of school last year:

Hallie with Mrs. McQuivy,

Mason with Ms. Erica,
& Jake with Mrs. Broderick;

They all loved their teachers and had a fantastic year in school, we are really proud of all of them and their hard work.







Jake loved playing T-ball and being a Killer Bee! This was when he was still sick all the time from the cmv and ebv viruses, but he still managed to get some game time!

We went down to St. George mid month so I could do the SG Tri with my friend Stacia. We managed to get some swimming & hiking time in too.

Jake at his Kindergarten graduation program. He was the most adorable kindergartner! I'm going to miss this age...
