Farewell to our First Home

We are so sad to leave our very first home! We started our family here, and we have a lot of good memories and friends that have come from living here. We are moving on to the next chapter of our lives, but I felt like I had to document our first house to help us remember what it was like.Living RoomDining RoomKitchenNurseryMaster BedroomMaster Bath Guest BathBoys' Room
We will certainly miss our cute little house, and all of the wonderful people in the Legacy Ranch Neighborhood! Farewell 4592 Mina Deoro Drive!

Swim Lessons

Ayden did swimming lessons this summer. He did a great job, but often ended up being the teacher's "special helper" to keep him out of trouble-little stinker!His pal Sadie was in his class

Brothers

Snuggling while watching a movie. I love when I catch them doing this!

Visiting Aunt Chelsea at Work

My nephew Cael had the unfortunate opportunity to come visit me at work. He got a little gash on his head that needed some sutures. We gave him a little versed-which he liked until we held him down, at which point the only thing that kept him distracted and happy was blowing bubbles. He was so funny! What a tough guy!

Summer Sun

Popsicles, friends, sun, scooters and sprinklers-what more could a kid ask for? Isn't this what summer is all about?

Lava Hot Springs

We went to Lava Hot Springs in June with some great friends. We had never been there before, and we had a blast! We don't camp often, in fact-I don't think we have gone since before Ayden was born. This was the way to camp! We stayed in a little cabin and we still did the campfire thing-but our stuff didn't come home wreaking of smoke! My idea of camping!Smores!The gals!Poor Pat didn't know what he was getting into!

The Bats!

Ayden played T-ball this spring. His team was the Bats. We had a great time watching them!

And more importantly, he had a blast with his buddies!Great team and some great coaches!Getting the stance downHe was great at running for the ball after the other team hit it. So were 5 or 6 other kids-it was hilarious-getting the ball turned into a football tackle!I love how you can't even see his eyes with that helmet on!That is a thumbs-up for me after he ran to first baseColby benefited at each game with the treats! He was a good sport at watching his brother and would often join him on the field.Some of the cute moms on the team planned a end of the year party for the

kids to get their trophies.Our little T-ball player!

Joy School Graduation

We had a little graduation for our Joy School kids. They were so darling. There was a

talent show portion. Ayden sang his ABC's and I love to see the Temple.

He was so brave and did such a good job! These kids are the best of buds! So fun to have had them together. The little man with his diploma The brave moms that did Joy School!

The Naughty Game

Ayden was wrestling with his buddies on the tramp. They were getting pretty rough when one of the adults looks over and says, "Ayden is hurt! He is bleeding!" We look over at Ayden and he has blood running from his nose. He is smiling and has blood in his teeth. Didn't even phase him! We made him get off the tramp to get cleaned up, and the minute we took care of it he says, "Let's play the naughty game!"

This boy is crazy!
