Terrace Days (that only lasts for 1 day)

We had Terrace Days last week (or maybe it was the week before?)
Kadrey is in a little dance class - Lady Titans-  so she was in the parade - they were supposed to preform that night also but due to circumstances beyond my control they did not...ugh!!!!!!!!






We had a lot of fun at the "festivities" held after the parade.  We hung out with some friends of ours and the kids played, got their faces painted, the girls got feathers in their hair (that ended up hurting them,  Kadrey pulled hers out later that night)  we had pizza (from papa Johns - yummy) snow cones, and then we watched fireworks.  Oh, and we saw a monster truck - but lets be serious - that  was pretty lame:)

                               All in All it was a fun night!

Baseball/softball

We all know how great I am at taking pictures (sorry).  Dan got some of Kadrey but we didn't get any of Jaxon playing.

The season was pretty short and a lot of the games where rained out but the kids had fun.

Jaxon has a natural talent for the game (he may have found his sport) and this is his third  year playing.  Uncle Bryan has been practicing with him a lot and he really is getting his throwing accuracy down:)  It is fun to watch him play.   We still have to remind him to pay attention - it gets pretty boring just standing on base waiting for someone to hit the ball, so you can run and its not like they are pros or anything, so sometimes it is a long wait:)  I love watching him play.  He is awesome.


Kadrey has only been playing for 2 years.  This was her first year in softball.  Her coach picked 2 girls at the beginning of the season that she thought should pitch and only taught them - well, that did not fly with me so Dan and Uncle Bry started working with her.  By the end of the season the coach was having her pitch whole games:)   I am so proud of her.  Her team was not great (they won 1 game this season).  But she always tried her best and what more can you ask of a kid:) She is pretty amazing:)

Camping

We went camping a couple of weeks ago and we had so much fun.   The river was really high and it was a little rainy and cold but we got to stay in a "lodge"  (at my parents stake camp)  so we made the best of  things,  lots of fun stuff to do indoors and it only rained some of the time so we went outside too:)

 Dan and R.W found a ping pong table in the storage room of this lodge and pulled it out to have a little fun (I think this table is kinda old, and has probably seen better days:)

 Ninja Bryan!!!!!!                                                                  

There was even an indoor fireplace so we made s'mores.  We used those huge marshmallows.  Dan managed to stuff 2 in his mouth at once but the champion is Karlee, she got 3.  (I did not have my camera near while this was happening up it was pretty funny)                          

And the rain did stop long enough for everyone to go play some baseball and volleyball and go hiking.

I am glad we got to go and I hope we can go again.  13 of us where there the whole time and then my Bro. and his family came up for a little while and so did my mom and my sister  (the available slot happened to be on weekdays some had to work.)

I am a burrito! and other random pictures:)

make-up

Yesterday after Kadrey was all dressed and ready for church she decided to try on put on some make-up.  I caught her in the act:)  and told her that she was not old enough to wear make-up places (its ok to play with but not to wear out).   She threw the biggest fit, was arguing the point and even woke Dan up to ask him what he thought (would any dad want his 9 yr old wearing make-up:) - She then slammed her door shut and would not talk to me (and pouted most of the day) and then came out of her room and started to argue about it again - why do they make make-up for kids?, you wear make-up, I'm  not a little girl, ect.....)   I told her that she was already so pretty that she did not need anything to dress her up more - She rolled her eyes.  I told her 15 was when she could start to wear it Dan told her 21 - huh...    (This was her look yesterday at church ( so cute)).

Kadrey's "Exta" team

Kadrey with her Extra Team!  They only lost 2x (they played 12 games).  She had a fun session.  They are not having an Extra Team next year - only 2 girls tried out in her age division, most of the girls are moving up an age division and AYSO would not let us move Kadrey up.  So she will will be playing on an all boys team next year:)  We really did have fun this session - watching her play is always fun (except for maybe in the rain).
