*more goings on*

Andrew started his second phase of braces on May 23. One step closer to becoming incredibly handsome.





There are no "after" pictures since he vehemently opposed.

There were an endless supply of sporting events courtesy of the boys.

Nick literally played a million baseball games.

Luke played well for his Herriman team who ended up playing in the championship. They didn't win first place but he had fun this season and I think he acutally liked it this year.








Liam was on the Colorado Rockies machine/coach pitch team and he loved it.


He actually did pretty well and every time he hit the ball he would run to first base with a huge smile on his face. He would then make friends with the first baseman and then run to each subsequent base with a smile. He is just so darn happy.








Being in the outfield was also exciting. This way you can talk and laugh about the toot that your teammate just emitted.


And I don't remember being this cool when I was six. I mean, look at the stache on the kid behind Liam.


Andrew loved his soccer team. He ended up being on the same team as some of his friends from our old neighborhood so he really had a great time. He was also thrilled with the fact that his jersey was a different color than bright orange.








We also spent Memorial Day finishing up a baseball tournament down in Spanish Fork. We were seeded well due to only losing one game in the tournament and hopes were high that we would play multiple games that day.

Unfortunately, the Scrappers are notorious for dominating during tourney play and then choking in the finals.

This day was no exception. We lost our first game. I was a little ticked because we had to be to Spanish Fork by 8:30 in the morning with the drive being more than an hour from our home to watch them lose. And to add insult to injury, it was a super frustrating game to watch since multiple stupid, little mistakes were made.

The silver lining is that my most favorite shave ice joint is down in S.F. We hardly ever play in this area anymore so I have been craving this stuff for two years. It was just as I remember and worth the wait.



The younger 3 boys and I consoled ourselves by eating delicious frozen treats and then headed home.

We spent the latter half of the day eating our guts out. We had a barbeque at my parents house and then had a second one with our Scrapper family.

It was so. much. fun.


Nick was so sick of me taking pictures.


And this is a little sister to one of the boys on the team. Isn't she adorable?






Near the end of the night we did a voodoo ritual that burned all the bad luck away. We will see if it works.
