Updates!!!

I have been thinking about doing this for so long and I was inspired by an old friend of mine (Kristi :)) - I figured if she has time so do I!!

We have had a great year so far!! Ashten turned 5 and Canyen turned 2!! Hard to believe they are getting so big so fast! Ashten had a great Spring T-Ball Season with Coach Daddy on hand - they were really good. At only 4 it was hard to believe how really great Ashten already is at that sport. I think we have some natural talent on our hands! Canyen spent time keeping grandma and sometimes papa busy running around the ballpark so I could watch the games most of the time - he wasn't too interested in sitting still! I was much more instense about it than I thought I would be - I really loved it!!! Now he has started flag football and again is excelling at it as well - they have him as defensive end, running back and sometimes they'll have him play quarter back. First game was Saturday and they won - Ashten even scored and extra point. I am so excited we are at this stage now and have sporting events to go - as my dad told Ashten - "your mom has been wanting a little boy to play football since she was a teenager!!" Both kids still love playing outside - riding bikes, eating popsicles, running races, playing army, skateboarding and sometimes even just hanging out talking to their friends (well Ash at least :O).

Ashten started kindgerten on August 22nd and is loving it - he jumps out of the car like such a big boy and runs on in - one day without even kissing me bye!! He told me he was afraid he would be late!! His teacher's name is Mrs. Thornton, and I think she will be a great fit for Ash. Canyen started a new class at school too and is heavy into potty training!! He is doing great at it and is really proud of himself!!!



Kal and I took a great trip to Switzerland to see my friend Courtney and her husband Doug and their new baby Kaitlynne this past spring. While there we took a side trip to Paris for a couple of days and had a wonderful time!!! We have never been gone for that long though so it was hard being away from the boys but I was okay and they had a great great time with Grandma and Papa!!!








Some more very exciting news is that we decided to build a pool in our backyard!!! I have so many great memories of our pool growing up and just know they will too! I also figure it's a good incentive to get people to come visit! :) It's a huge mess right now but coming together - the mud around my house is a little unsettling for me but I am managing - ha ha!!



I'll update these as new things happen and post lots of pictures so you can see how the kids are growing!!!
