Memorial Day

For Memorial day weekend, the boys went motorcycling while Q and I enjoyed some sunshine at Aunt Heid's house. Millie was still in California.

We pulled out the Slip-n-Slide!

 

Then I took Q on a date to the movies to see Disney's "Bears" movie. We loved it. Right up her alley.

 

On Sunday we took flowers to the graves and to reminisce about Grandmas and Grandpas

Super League baseball: Monday Night Lights

The boys are back for another baseball season!

I have mentioned this before but I love watching them play baseball more than all of the other sports. Each Spring I am always so happy when they decide they want to play because I love going to their games and chatting with my friends in the {mostly} warm weather. This year they both wanted to do the super league again. They have games every Monday night in Orem. Sambo played for the Diamondbacks and Wilbur played for the Generals. This league is very competitive so their teams have many learning and growth opportunities. Sam's team won more games this year, while Will's team didn't win any - mostly because it was a new team. But they both improved and had a good time playing the sport they love with their buddies.  Good job guys!

Houseboat maintenance and Goblin Valley

Every March a crew from the "Getaway" houseboat timeshare head to Lake Powell to do maintenance on the houseboat. BS and the boys spent the weekend working with Grandmpa Jim.

But all work didn't mean no play...

They spent the next day in Goblin Valley hiking and exploring around.  They loved it!

Love my boys

Nitro Circus

For Christmas Uncle Shad gave the guys in our family tickets to NITRO CIRCUS!

I sure wish I could have gone, I was totally jealous!

The boys said it was amazing and "so freaking awesome!"

 

Thanks Shad!

#3

I love this.  I love my boys. I love #3. It's my new favorite number :)

Deer Hunt {easy style}

Another deer hunt success!  This year was extra good because the boys had their motorcycles to ride up and down the trail.  Well, not quite the whole way.  At one point the trail gets too rigid and rocky for dirt bikes.  But it cut the hiking time by more than half . They needed an easier route because

once again the boy's football play-off games were the same weekend.  BS took Sambo and Will up Friday morning, came down for the games Saturday, then back up to the campsite, then back down Sunday afternoon.  The boys were grinning from ear to ear!  Football mixed with motorcycling mixed with guys only camping mixed with hunting and shooting?  Priceless!!

Will was obsessed with getting some flint and stone!
And he successfully started a fire with it {after 20 min}

 

No buck this year.  Darn {yeah right}.  The deer hunt has turned into more of a mancation than an actual hunt.  If a HUGE buck happens to walk into camp then someone might claim it.  But they do a lot of target shooting and the boys are hoping and asking for a 22 rifle of their own.

I love that I don't have to worry for a second about my little guys.  I have complete trust in BS that he will keep them safe and taken good care of. 

I'm so glad that these 3 have each other:

The Clark girls kept the tradition of driving up to the trailhead to greet our boys back on Sunday after church. We are always so happy to see them, but mostly do it so the kids can ride the horses. 

I LOVE these pictures.  Quincy is in absolute HEAVEN!

More Moto!

More dirt biking adventures in the Uintas and at Strawberry! 

Here is Will:

Here is Sambo:

Quincy got to go this time and she really is just one of the boys.  She is tough as nails and not afraid to get dirty!  And not one whine or complaint comes out of her mouth all day long.

After days like this the boys come home completely pooped.  They ride their little guts out!

And this is how I often find them in the morning:

No wonder they want their own room or at least their own beds!
