Our 4th of July Celebration!

Our morning started out early in the morning. Kaitlyn had to sing at the city's celebration at 9:30. Shane, Kaitlyn, Cheyenne, and myself went over about 8:15 to eat breakfast. The boys were at Nanny and Poppy's house because they had to move pipe. They came up to watch Kaitlyn. The boys and Poppy played a little baseball while we were there. Then we came home and did some jobs around the house. Shane's friend had 4 tickets to the Oakley Rodeo, so Shane took the boys to that. Nikkelle was at Stadium of Fire. The girls and I went with Nanny, Poppy, and Travis to Sizzler to eat dinner. When we got home the girls got to do sparklers, feed the lambs, then watch the city's Firework display. We can see them from our backyard so we just hang out here and watch in our swing. It was a crazy 4th of July for our family this year.. We were all in different places, but I think everyone still had fun.

A surprise visit from Family!

On Friday June 27th Nikkelle and I was out walking selling her drill team calendars. She kept getting phone calls, I thought she was talking to her friend Kylie. Come to find out Chandra was calling her to let her know that she was coming to visit with the kids and surprise me. I got part of the conversation "okay I'll see you when you get here," but I just thought it was Kylie because she had been out of town all week. So when we get home Nikkelle and I went downstairs to watch part of movie, to relax from the heat. So Chandra called me and I ask her what she was doing? She said "she was going to town to buy diapers." We talked on the phone for a little bit then it was just quite for a little bit. Then I could see something out the corner of my eye. So I turned to look and they were poking their heads around the corner downstairs. I was surprised they were here. Chandra and I was still on the phone, I looked at her, looked at my phone and hung up.
Shane had taken all the other kids out to Vernon to our cabin. So Chandras kids hung out here a couple of days before my kids got here. Then we surprised them. Here is their reaction, I think they were surprised even Kaitlyn but she was sad because her dad had gotten after her.

Hiding in the corner. It was a little squishy back there.

Just another picture before the kids got home.

Here is the picture I got of the kids about the time they jumped up and said SURPRISE!

I think Kinyon and Cheyenne was really surprised. They ran right over to great them. Kaitlyn was still upset.

Baseball season comes to a end.

Well Baseball has finally came to a end. The boys had a fun year. Ryder's team took second place they did a awesome job. They played the 1st place team the last two games and won both games. That was really exciting for the boys and the parents. Kinyons team did a great job too. They came in 4th place. This was his first year playing on WBBA its a pretty big step up from machine pitch. He learned a lot and both want to try out for the fall team. I have to finish the All-Stars next week. There will be 3 games and then I will be done with concessions stand. Boy am I excited for that. Now hopefully I can catch up in my garden at nights instead.
