Last baseball game of the season!

Jeremy had such a great season for baseball.  They finished off the season with their 10th straight win!  So we took some pictures to celebrate!
Cool guys!

Piling on home plate!

Letting off some steam after playing hard!

Getting the last talk from their coach!

A teepee!

When we go to Jeremy's baseball games at Oaklawn park, there are some great woods behind the fields.  Alex and Isaac like to go explore them with friends they make at the park.  Alex made some friends and they built a teepee out of wood that is very abundant in the woods.  Alex loves sticks so he wanted to share it with me!

Jeremy's MVP haircut

I took Jeremy to a haircutting place that he has wanted to try called Sportsclips.  Alex went to one in Orem and Jeremy wanted to try it.  We have one near us and I had a coupon for a free haircut so we went there.  Since it was his first time, they treated him to their MVP haircut complete with a haircut, massaging shampoo, hot towel and back massage.  Jeremy was in heaven!
Jeremy loves the Y!

So relaxing!

Wow a hot towel!

Log Haven restaurant

On the 19th of June, Ben's parents had their 40th wedding anniversary.  So they took all their kids and their spouses that live in Utah to the restaurant where they had their wedding breakfast.  It was a beautiful place nestled  in one of the canyons of Salt Lake.  We got some great pictures there.
Ben and I across the street from Log Haven.  It was beautiful area!

Father's Day

Yea for Fathers' Day! We started off the day with a french toast feast!

The boys sang in sacrament meeting.  Isaac was all over!

Jeremy got to hold his new cousin Lilly for the first time!

My crazy guys!

Ben and the boys and Ben's brother Paul and his new daughter Lilly!

Here's all of Ben's spoils-a BYU hat from the BYU bookstore, a custom mouse pad with all of our pictures, new jeans and a custom picture card.  Ben is also wearing a tie that Jeremy made when he was about 2.  He wears it every year.  We need to update it with all the boys hands!

All of my handsome guys!

Jeremy made a book for Dad at school and gave it to him for Fathers Day.  It had some funny things like he was asked how tall was his dad and Jeremy put 5'3 (he's 5'9), how much does he weigh and Jeremy put 220 (he's about 170). So Ben found it quite humorous!


We also had fun with Grandpa!


Jeremy got to pitch!

Jeremy has had a long baseball season, playing in the outfield and having some really good hits.  His team has won quite a few games and we are so proud of him.  It's a great improvement from last year.  But one thing he has wanted to do since last year was pitch.  Well he finally got that chance towards the end of one of his games.  And he did really well! He struck out some players even! We wished his coach gave him more chances but we were so glad he did get the chance once. And in the same game, he also got to try 3rd base.



Cub scout camp day at Camp Fife

Again this year, I got to attend cub scout day camp since I am one of the wolf leaders.  It's fun to go, especially because I get to be with Jeremy.  We went to a new camp, Camp Fife, which is clear out past Tremonton, Utah in the middle of nowhere it seemed.  But the boys had a good time.  They had lots of fun activities for them.  Most of the boys liked the zip line.
Here are some of the older scouts that run the camp

Here's the boys listening to instructions.  The theme this year was Space Camp Fife so everything was centered around space.

All suited up for the big space wall

Almost there!

He made it!

listening to instructions about the zipline

Jeremy is getting ready to take off!

And he's off!

He had a great time!

Listening to instructions on shooting space rifles

cocking the rifle

and shooting it!

Even us leaders got to take some shots!


Next came bow and arrows. This is one of Jeremy's favorites!

It may be hard to see but Jeremy got it just about right in the middle of the target!

Getting instructions on making their space rockets

Jeremy got a pink one!

His first attempt.  He got to shoot it several times before it finally broke apart.

Last destination, the BMX bike track

Jeremy barreling down the mountain side.

He got to go around the track 3 times.  On his last try, he fell and scraped his hand pretty bad.  Needless to say, this wasn't his favorite activity!

All the boys, our camp leader and us leaders
