Bring on summer

 Sometimes in life you have to say goodbye to friends you have grown to love.  That was our case this past weekend with the McMillin family.  They have been there for us through thick and thin and are hands down the best family I know.  We will miss them like crazy!!

 A random hail storm in June.  If you can dance in the rain then you can jump in the hail.

 Softball has begun.  Taelor is catcher, has pitched and played first and third this year.  She is having a lot of fun.

 BB made the legion team the Rebels.  They are not the best team and struggle alot but I think he is having fun and that is all that matters.

 Dawson took pics while at a tournament in Boise.....a budding photographer

 Of course we had to visit the Boise Zoo.

 Dawson's new glassses were way too fun to take pictures with!!  He was getting mad at me.

 We also sent off our cousin Natalie to her mission.  She went to Rochester NY and is serving at the Hill Cumorah Temple and the church history sites which include Jospeh Smiths house.  Very cool!!

Overload!!

 WOW!!  A year in a nutshell!!  For Braedon's 15th Bday we took him to see a Thunder basketball game!

 We have had quite a few sledding trips and no one has gotten injured so that is a plus!!

 In January Dawson turned 13!  Yikes!!

 We spent good times with family over the Holidays!!

 Cute cousins!!

 Did some decorating!!

 Had some fabulous family pics taken

 Handsome grown boy

 Such a precious boy

 our fam!!

 The sister showing her stuff!

 The best family picture ever!!

 Sister got her chance to play some real basketball and did a good job!

 BB played football at Highland this past year.  He a had a good time even though he thought he wouldn't.

 Taelor got more stitches when she got her hands stuck on the top of a chain link fence.  4 in one hand and 1 in the other.

 Taelor turned 9 in Sept!!

 Brother/sister love!

 Braedon played his last summer with the Sundevils.  It was fun and sad!

 Last championship game together.

 The things you can do to entertain yourself with a cardboard box.

Braedon's city team won the city Championship with a 20-0 season!!  It was fabulous!!  Shane was a great coach and mentor!

Sister's turn to show her stuff

 Here is our cheese ball!!  She is having so much fun playing softball.  Their team may need help but she is having a blast!!

 She has been pitching in her games.  The first game she did really well but the second game she struggled a bit.  It is all a learning process and she will figure it out all in time!

 #25 just like her big bro!

Dawson with his fancy new do!  He had a scary thing happen to him on Sunday.  After I cut this haircut he was kneeling down on the floor and said he thought he was going to be sick and then all of the sudden he fell to the side and started to have a tremor.  Not shaking bad like a seizure but just small shakes like a tremor.  We tried to get him to respond to us but he wouldn't.  After about 15 seconds he finally said I can't see you!  Then he stopped shaking and was ok.  He was slightly confused for a minute or two but he knew what had happened to him and he was mostly scared.  As were Shane and I!  We took him and he got blood work done and they want to give him an MRI later this week.  Hopefully all will be well.  He was given a priesthood blessing and we are hopeful this was just an isolated incident.

Life as we know it

 So these pictures are not in order like I thought they would be when I uploaded them but the point is they are now documented!  In this first picture Braedon had just hit a huge shot over centerfield and he was running to second and some kid made a crazy throw and tagged him out.  More like clobbered by the looks of the picture!!

 Here he is before the hit.  Before he knew he was going to get clobbered.

 Pitching is so intense!

 I like this picture with the field ump behind him.

 A while before this baseball game happened we had Easter!  I love this picture of the eggs!

 Never too old for an Easter egg hunt!!  He will do almost anything for some good candy!

 Whatcha got sis?

Dawson just glad he found all his eggs first!
