A New Chef is in the House

Every summer they have classes that kids ages 5 and up can take at the local community college here in town. I saw a cooking class that I thought would be fun for Madisen as she likes to make pancakes, soup and cookies. She went Monday through Friday for 3 hours a day and made this whole meal for us! It was delicious. Thanks Madisen! I think we will continue taking classes every summer. Last summer she took a crocheting class, and learned a lot about sewing and crocheting.

"Swim like a Fish"

The girls took swimming lessons again this summer with Ellie Packham and loved it! They learned how to swim so much better. Emily caught on so quick and improved so much from last year. Here's "Button's a' bag" Or a.k.a Emily. ;) It was really bright out and she has the most sensitive eyes out of her sisters.

Softball

Madisen has played softball now for 3 years and is starting to get pretty good at it for her age. She's not afraid to go after the ball when it comes to her and has a pretty good grasp on the game overall. She isn't the fastest, or strongest. In fact, she is one of the smallest on the team but she manages just fine. She is starting to bat better and better too. She now gets on base I would say 85% of the time. And as long as she is having fun we are happy. We are very proud of her. She had such a great time playing last year that she asked to play again this year. Well, of COURSE!! :)







"Hi Mom. I just scored!" So cute!

4th of July Breakfast and Bike Parade

We woke up early and rode our bikes to the Packham's house for a ward breakfast and afterwards the kids got to decorate their bikes and ride them around showing them off. Dan was visiting that weekend and brought his bike also. It was a hot day but the kids enjoyed themselves. 

Later we celebrated Dan's birthday. His birthday is June 24th but we didn't get to celebrate it with him then. He loved his cake! ;) THIS is the year! We love when Dan comes to visit. It's the only chance we get to crush him at his own games! haha! Thanks for visiting Dan!
