It has been FAR too long since I have updated our blog! As I was looking through my pics I realized that the last month or so have FLOWN by! Too many fun things happening. I love it!
The boys both finished their soccer seasons strong. Caleb played an AWESOME final game and secured him a spot on his team's summer games team (which we are currently in the middle of). Easton was able to secure him a spot on the comp team that we've been wanting him to play for and can't wait to get the fall season started with him!
Bailey finished up her 1st year of intermediate school and I totally made it through! It was touch and go for a few times there but she is an amazing girl and seemed unphased by any crazy stuff happening around her. While she doesn't turn 12 until July she will be going to girl's camp this year and ... wait for it... GOING TO LAKE POWELL!!! Seriously whatever happened to going to Cedar Mountain and hoping you got the campsite nearest to the flushing toilets?
The boys both played an awesome season of spring baseball. Easton hit a home run almost every game (whether his coach let him run home or not). ;)
Caleb got to try out his pitching arm and was pretty cute out there on the mound. By the end of the season we actually got him not to walk every time he was up and just swing the bat! He did and got some great hits. His team ended up being the Snow Canyon Little League minor champs!
Of course what's a month or two around our house without a couple of races thrown in? Easton has officially dropped out of the running challenge we set for the kids at the first of the year. I can't blame him of course. He's built like me and I LOATHE running! Mat, Caleb, and Bailey ran a 5k up at the old airport the week school ended and each one took home a medal! Mat and Caleb both took first in their divisions (this is the first time Mat has not ran with the kids) and Bailey took second in hers.
We couldn't do much for Memorial Day since the rest of the primary presidency decided they were taking their families on vacations so we hung around town. We ended up taking the kids up to the Gunlock run off on Monday.
It's been a very cold spring and so while it wasn't really hot enough to jump in a swim we had a great time hiking around the water and looking at the falls.
It was pretty packed with people but it was a blast.
We did convince Easton to run one more race...The New Harmony Mud Run. For kids they only had to run a 1.5k race through mud, logs, and other obstacles.
It was for ages 12 and under so all of the kids were in the same category. Bailey rocked it with taking 1st! She ran it in 7:15. Caleb came in a strong 3rd with a time of 7:40-ish. Easton didn't place but started the race walking with a side ache and came through the finish line muddy and running.
Bailey and Easton both successfully traversed through the muddy waters and came out looking like it. Caleb traversed the same waters yet tried his darndest to stay clean and pretty much did.
I truly thought summer was supposed to be a time to relax and unwind. It seems crazier than ever with all of the day camps, tutoring, sports, and playtime. As I mentioned before we are currently in the middle of Summer Games. Caleb had played three games so far and his team looks strong to play in the gold medal game tomorrow. Bailey and Caleb will be running a 5k in the morning with Mat running a triathlon in the morning as well. Hopefully we aren't too worn out for the gold medal game at noon. Busy...I wouldn't change a thing!
