Baseball

Ethan was in coach pitch baseball this year. He really enjoys this sport and was so excited for every game! They were the Giants this year. Ethan wore his hat everywhere, not just to his games. He's a pretty good hitter once he gets ahold of the ball and improved on catching and throwing this year. He's also getting a little speedier at running (poor kids got his dad's genes there!) It was fun to go and cheer him on.




Bet you can't guess who Ethan's biggest fan was!

Bridger Lake

In June we went on the annual Bridger Lake camping trip. The kids look forward to it all year long. The kids had fun playing with their cousins, fishing, hiking, riding bikes, staying up late around the campfire, looking for animals, and just hanging out. Chad's family goes to this campground with a big group of people and they always have a dutch oven cookout. Chad and his sister won this year with a dutch oven Cafe Rio dish. It was delicious! Haylee came with us and it was evident up there how old she's getting. At first she struggled getting around everywhere but by the end she seemed revitalized by the great outdoors. Here are a few(ok alot) of pictures from the fun!

How Does Your Garden Grow?

So we attempted our first ever garden this year. We started small with one garden box and planted a some tomatoes, cucumbers, peas, squash, and Madelyn's cabbage she brought home from school. We weren't sure if anything would really grow but so far so good! Here are the before pictures the day we planted.


Here are the after pictures. It's a little wild in there. Madelyn's cabbage is pretty giant. I think it was part of some contest to grow the biggest one but I can't find the paper that she brought home with it. It's pretty big compared to some of the others from her class even with the holes from the bugs that got to it! We've already had some peas from the garden and can you see our first red tomato??
