Alex and all his activities

Alex has had a busy month of May. From field trips to awards ceremonies. He also has had time to get in a little playing!

This is some of things Alex loves to do, play with his action figures (and he plays with all of them!)and draw!

Alex received an award for reading. This is his principal.

The first grade went to the Ogden Nature Center. Here the lady talked about ponds and what you can find there.

We then went on a nature scavenger hunt

We also got to go to one of the ponds and look for things that moved, etc.

Alex and Bauer got to be partners

The girls seemed to get dirtier than the boys!

Isaac the funny

Isaac is the entertainer of our family. Always trying to do funny things and ready to be silly. Sure love this boy!

Notice the rain boot and the Sunday shoe. This is what he changed into one Sunday! And don't forget his trusty gun!

Here we are waiting for his morning bus to take him to school

Isaac is really trying to be independent, which I love. One night he wanted to get his own pajamas so he went to his room, picked them out and changed into them. After about a 1/2 hour, I noticed something fishy about his pajama bottoms. Turns out they were a shirt instead of pants!! Isaac didn't even notice until I did. Gotta document his funniness!

Isaac is my buddy in the day and goes on errands with me. This day, I was at the store checking out and the cute sales lady let Isaac scan our purchases. He thought that was the bomb!

Baseball and more baseball.

Jeremy has started baseball again. He is on the same team as last year but moved up to the 9U. He has been practicing for a few months but started his regular season in May. His first set of games were rained out but he has had two games every Saturday since then. He recently went to Pocatello with Ben to a tournament. I couldn't go because my nephew went through the temple. Alex also started with a local city league. Ben tries to take the boys to the park to practice and Alex is getting to be a good hitter. Jeremy is also doing very well.

Blue and Gold banquet

We attended the blue and gold banquet again this year. Since I am over the wolves, we were in charge of the pre-opener games and a skit. It was lots of fun. I made a cake for the cake contest.
