May June and July

Oh My Gosh, Wow were do I begin. Life, has been a busy crazy whirlwind for the past three months and with two weeks until school start it has no chance of slowing down. After Sages Birthday, our lives have been consumed with B-Ball and Dance and Many other unexpected happenings. I will try to catch up on blogging if that is possible. Max and Mason had a great season on the Murray Liberty League. They were both on the Dodgers. Mason was on Minor Dodgers and Max was on the Major Dodgers and with 4 games and 4 practices a week it made for a very busy Spring. Max play outfield this year, and got to play catcher a couple times, Mason played 1st base and pitched a few times. Such a fun time watching our boys play ball. Pure joy, is the only way to explain it really. Sage had a great competition season as well, we soaked every minuet up this year realizing it was our last year in private dance. She also made the Murray High School Drill Team! Way to go SAGE! A whole new chapter of dance. I am amazed at her talent and her dedication. Loved every second of seeing her perform. She has really come into her own this year. Memorial weekend was very sad for our family and life changing. Brett's dad was killed in an Atv accident in Moab. We are still all in shock and don't know how to react to ball games, birthday parties, beach vacations with out him. Brett really got many of his best qualities from his dad, our children miss their Grandpa. The Funeral was very sad, and all 3 of our kids spoke and Brett spoke. They did such a beautiful job. That same week Sage Graduated from Junior High, with Honors and a 4.0. Very emotional week for our family.

June was crazy busy as well, the day after the funeral Brett, Max and Mason went to New York City with my Dad. They had been planning this dream trip for almost a year. They really had a trip of a life time! Wow what an experience. They stayed in Time Square and went to 2 Yankees Games visited the Statue of Liberty and Central Park and the list goes on. They had the best time with my Dad and it was a trip NONE of them will ever ever forget. We had MORE B-Ball in June because Mason made the Allstar Team! It was a great experience for Mason. Murray 9 year old All stars took 4th in State! OMY! Practice everyday and tons of games. He really gained so much ability it is remarkable all the improvement he made. Great times! Sage Also started practicing with her Drill Team 4 days a week! And Loves it!

July, We went to the cabin the 1-4th of July for the Holiday and took in the Oakley Rodeo, rode 4 wheelers played card ATE, and rested and relaxed. Mason had an Allstar game all the way in Toelle on Saturday so Brett trucked him all the way there and back. We came home just in time to leave for Pioneer Trek on the 7th. TRek was Awesome! I can not believe how awesome. I need to do a whole post on Trek. Lets just put it this way, one of the best experiences of my life! Nuff said! I love my Husband! and I love him even more now. If that is possible. After trek we had State championship B-Ball and then my nieces Wedding and the day after the wedding we left for San Clemente... Ahhh I'm exhausted just typing it all. Living it makes me the crazy, scattered, partially grey lady I am. San Clemente was so awesome. I cant not tell you how great it was to spend time with my family for 10 day. No schedules no deadlines and no hussle and bussle. Just time! Loved it. Our kids are such great people and so much fun. Lotts of extened family and great memory's made on the beach. Max changed gears a little this year and made the Murray Max Compitition Soccer team. So he has been training all summer and let me tell ya, Murray ainte fooling around with Soccer. We are now a Soccer Family. So thats it...(i think)
