4th Of July

This year we were able to go to Blanding for the 4th again. It never disappoints. We started the weekend off by playing in the Midnight Madness softball tournament. It was a lot of fun I always love playing. We lost out around 4:30 in the morning. Super tiring but so fun ha... We slept for a few hours only to get up early for the parade and other festivities. The boys had a blast at the parade and all the fun things that are in it. Later we went down to the park for the vendors and to hang out for awhile. We didn't stay long so that we could go say our goodbyes to Clayts sister and her family. They moved to North Carolina and all his family helped them move. After they all left we went up to my parents house to hang out before fire works. My Aunt, Uncle and Grandpa were all there so it was such a fun week spending time with all of them. We only see the, about every two years. This was their first time meeting Range and I think it's safe to say my Aunt and Range made pretty good buddies :) It was a fun week and fun to spend time with family. We had party after party the whole time we were there. It's super busy when you have both families down there.

I got there Tuesday afternoon and Clayt came down Wednesday night with Crystal. As exhausting as it was it was still a fun week. It was full of late nights, hanging out with family, yummy food, ER visit and lots of fun. Can't wait to see what next year brings :)

 Feeding the camel with my mouth was super scary especially since it bit Range's finger right after lol









Range loved listening to the movie with the head phones.

Catch Up

A lot as gone on since I updated last. Clayt left for another 3 weeks and is now home for good. Range turned 18 months the boys did swimming lessons. Ryder finished his first season of t ball. Parties, Bees game, swimming and lots of fun things.

Clayt is now done with training and won't have to go back for 2 years. We are so happy he's done and we get him home every weekend and sometimes nights. MSHA has been good to us and I couldn't ask for a better hard working husband!!
 Picking dad up from the airport for the last time :)

Clayts graduation plaque.


A lady in the condos we used to live in did swim lessons and I put my boys in it. Ryder did a lot better then I thought he would and his not as scared as he used to be. Range wasn't having it so much lol he got sick of it after awhile.

I ran the Color Me Rad race again this year with a friend. It was a lot of fun. It's always a fun race.










Ryder finished his first year of T-ball and he really liked it. He keeps saying it just wants to play Bees baseball. I hope he sticks with it and keeps playing :)




He was pretty pumped about his medal.

Ryder's new neighbor friend had a birthday party and they had a big water fight. It was fun to watch them and trying to get the adults involved too.









The Sunday Clayt got home we decided to go to a Bees game. Ryder had been asking for a long time if we could go to a "real" game. It was super hot but fun. We sat out on the grass the boys ran around and we went on a few train rides on the train they had there. Clayt and I even made it on the "Kissing Cam" haha









We took our first trip to 7 Peaks a few weeks ago with friends.. The boys loved it Ryder surprised me with a lot of things he wouldn't do last year. Glad he's finally liking it.




The two little were wore out :)
