MUCK DOGS...

Mr Eliot pitching at a game this year. He actually got "game ball" at this game and was so excited he could hardly contain himself.  He now has it proudly displayed on his dresser for all to see! He is quite a good little pitcher and if not pitching he plays great at short.  His team is doing very well.. only have lost three games as we are starting into the playoffs.  Sorry... phone camera shots... not so great :(

SEATTLE TOURNAMENT...

Mr. Avery spent this last weekend playing in a baseball tournament in Seattle.  The baseball tournament was just really just a blip in all of the other things he was able to do that weekend He hit a Mariners Baseball game... He and Hunter kayaked in a  two seat kayak in the ocean for a three hour tour and while they did that they were able to watch dolphins swim right along with them! Too much fun... right?!?!

Ha.. Ha.  Three hour tour.. ring any bells?

THE CARNI...

We hit the Carnival this year... as always...and as always it was an interesting event!  Little boys absolutely loved the rides... Eliot just liked the treats.. no rides for him. The big boys went on rides , played games and I would assume mostly looked for kids they knew from school...(Kids = Girls).  The job of Isaac and I held was to laugh and laugh at kids faces while they were on rides and of course... act as the ATM! We have made this a tradition to go every year... but boy,  so glad it comes just once a year!

LIFE ON THE FARM...

Since we moved to the farm,  we now do farm things. The boys like to drive the jeep in all sorts of dirt and mud.  They also LOVE to help me in the garden!  It is questionable if this year I will end up having any veggies at all.  They quite like to dig up my seeds of corn or bury my squash, peppers , etc!!! Oh,  and they love to water the garden... as is flood the garden.  ;) Colt now also thinks that since we live on the farm there is no reason at all to get dressed to go outside and work.  I mean no-one will see him... and since no-one will see him he also believes that is the perfect reason to skip the bathroom and just pee wherever he feels the need.  Off the deck,  on the rocks and "waters" the garden. So in other words...  we are having a great time at our new house on the farm!

UTAH FIX...

A couple of weeks ago we were able to visit Good ol' Utah for Randall's( Hansen Cousin) wedding.  It was great timing for me. I was really missing home and the short weekend there cured my fix.  With not much time I was only to hang with Lynzi,  Rivers and babies for about 1 1/2 days. The baby shots are of River;s baby Stella... Lynzi's baby Everrett and also Lynzi's twins,  Eli and Frazier.  Of course we hit all of the Wedding festivities.. which were beautiful and fun.  I was also so excited  to be able to see my niece,  Addison,  perform in one of her dance competition!  Oh my!  She is so grown -up... so BEAUTIFUL and so very talented!!!  Had to throw in a back shot of Miss Addie.....that is one perfect back... so pretty  ;) Thanks to all my Family for the good times.  Miss you always...

DIRT...

The ball fields here have a huge dirt pile.  My boys are attracted to this like a magnet!  I of course don't really mind because it keeps them busy so that I can watch some of the game.  Let me rephrase that... I don't really mind during the game ... but really mind when it is time to get them in the car to take them home!!!

LITTLE BROTHERS...

This is how the little bros spend most of their time at the baseball games.  Playing with cousins and hanging with their Uncle Bone.  ;)

BASEBALL SEASON HAS STARTED...

 Funny how in my title I say in that the season has started.. well as beginning of March it has... and practices WAY before that!  These pics are of his last tournament held in Spokane.  They played so well winning their first three games with no runs made by the other teams.  Won their next game the next morning and then lost by a few runs in the championship!  They always have a great time at the tournaments as do I and the rest of the family.  Good times had by all!
