This was Wyatt's first year starting T-ball. He was so excited to play and thought he was such a big boy. This age is always fun to watch but we definitely had our laughs with watching him, as well as everyone else getting a kick out of him also. He was quite the little character and hardly ever payed attention unless it was his turn to bat. When he was in the outfield he was wrestling his team mates, caring less where the ball was or what was going on. Or he was driving his coach crazy by hanging on him or trying to just chat with him. So after a few games of his "funniness" the next game I had a chat with him before it started and told him no wrestling and to try and get the ball. Well it turned out that they played an all girls team so instead of wrestling he was standing on second base chatting with all the little girls that came his way. He was quite the ladies man! He did pretty well the rest of the games and did very well at batting. We just need to work on his running. To be his funny self he would stick his chest out and tuck his arms up into his arm pits and run or he would run slower and talk to himself. He is quite the character and was fun to watch.

Boating
This past weekend Aaron's sister invited us to go boating with them to Willard Bay. I wasn't feeling well again and really wasn't wanting to go but I have been sick so much that my kids were dying to get out of the house, as well as myself. Aaron could of handled them but I really felt like I needed to be with my family so I packed up some lunches and we ventured off. It ended up being a good day and the kids had a great time as usual. They always love jumping off the back of the boat and Logan and Kennady can't get enough of the big tube. Wyatt on the other hand doesn't like to go fast and had to have Aaron ride with him.
We actually got a good laugh in for the day- here is what happened: Aaron got his life jacket on and was ready to get on the tube with Wyatt. Well as soon as Aaron went to jump on the tube it had moved a little bit so when Aaron landed on the tube he was to close to the edge and ended up rolling backwards into the water, hat and all. It was almost a slow motion effect and was pretty hilarious, at least we thought it was. He wasn't to thrilled with how chilly the water was and the fact that he wasn't expecting to get wet. We kept laughing about it later on as well. We docked the boat at the beach, ate our lunch, let the kids swim some more and ended the day with one last tube ride.

Fathers Day Fun
So a friend of ours in our ward had a great idea to get a bunch of couples together in the ward and let the guys have some fun for father's day. We all met up at speed street in Layton and let the guys go to town racing each other all night. The guys loved it and probably could of stayed there all night. After each race they would come out and get their score sheets and discuss with each other the stats and some were discussing how to do it better the next time. It was fun to watch them get so into it. Here are the group of guys from left to right: Nate, Nelson, Todd, Tyler, Casey, Russ, Aaron and Barry
After their final race we tallied up the scores and gave out prizes. I am proud to say that Aaron was the fastest over all and he won himself a massager. It was supposed to be for me to give him a massage but with me being so sick and all :) I got the back massage instead. It worked out great!
Us girls had fun just being able to sit and chat and watch the guys be little boys:) It was a fun night and hopefully next father's day we can do it again. I think it topped all father's days so far. The guys really enjoyed it.

Logan- Baseball
Logan has been doing great this year in baseball. He hit his first home run earlier on and has been going strong ever since. He was determined to get a home run every game from then on, which he almost accomplished. I think the total home runs was 6. He is loving the game more and more and is now at that age where he knows what sports he wants to play. I believe baseball is going to be one of them. His confidence has grown a ton and I love watching him play and get excited. Their team was undefeated this year and are alot of fun to watch.

Swimming lessons
This is the kids first session of swimming lessons this summer. The weather has been a little chilly but as long as their in the warm water they don't mind. They have done really well and they both can jump off the diving board without the noodles and swim to the side. The last couple of lessons though I've had to get after them. They think it's just free time in the pool and they try getting on each others backs, which results in one of them almost drowning. They still think it's funny though.

Logan's 9th birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!
Friday June 10th
The first thing Logan wanted to do when he woke up was open his presents....of course! He was really excited and hoping to get a rip stik so we started out with the gifts from Wyatt & Kennady and left the big one for last. This is what he got: a new DS game (lego battles), a DS case, new nike shoes, and a rip stik. He was happy with all the gifts but said he loved getting the rip stik. Not sure why I didn't get a picture of him riding it! I asked him what he wanted to do during the day and he chose to have a friend over so they could ride rip stiks together. He rode the thing as much as he could that day. Later on we decided to go as a family to Kung Fu Panda 2. The kids had been wanting to see it since it came out so we thought his birthday was the perfect day to go see it. They loved the show and Logan chose to go eat at subway after. We then came back to the house and "airplane" grandpa came over with Logan's gift. He said he was to excited to wait until the family party on Sunday to give it to him. He gave him a new scope to go on his gun.....not sure if this was more for Logan or Aaron:) Anyway Logan loves to go shooting with Aaron and asked when they could go soon. We finished his birthday with his own little birthday cake and birthday song. I almost forgot...Logan wanted to wear his new shoes that day because he said he would attract all the girlies :) I thought it was really cute! He even took them for a test run outside, I guess to see if they made him run faster?
Logan had a friend party the next day and had 11 boys come over. I was a little nervous how it would go with that many boys but it ended up a success. They played kickball, soccer, had relay races, shot hoops, ate pizza and popcorn, and ended with water balloon games. The kids had alot of fun and Logan said it was the best birthday because they just got to play whatever games they wanted.
Sunday we celebrated his birthday with the family and had all the cousins over. This was the third day of celebrating and the last cake to be eaten....yay! Of all the choices, he chose to have a soccer cake.
