4th of July












Matt man and his familia came for almost a whole week for the 4th. Although I didn't get to hang with them as much as I planned (or should have-torn in many directions) it was fun seeing them.
Saturday night we BBQ'd at the Ben Wall's house, then went to the Drury's for some fireworks.
Monday morning the boys and I drove down to Provo for the Freedom Festival Parade. I love parades. Love. Love. Love them. They make me excited, they make me proud. They make me happy. I love that all the princesses wave at me, so therefore, I take many pictures of them.
BBQ with the Johnson's with my favorite pasta and shrimp salad. Legalizing the aerials was such an added "funness" to the 4th. I really think that Thanksgiving and the 4th of July are my favorite holidays. Happy 4th everyone... only 2 weeks. late.

Trophy for first in league


Everyone in the wall family that came to kelton's game-also there, but not included in picture: Grandma Johnson, Shellee, Daniel, ad Grandpa Johnson




I wish I was going to be writing about us taking first in state...However, things went terribly wrong. We started with pool play 4 teams in 4 pools. The top 2 move on to bracket play. First game was a win. Second game we were ahead 8-2 in the last inning. The coach decided to let the kids that don't get much play time, play, and those that liked different positions, try them. Poor Kelton was pitching. He walked 2, struck out 2, then a couple kids got hits off of him, the team had 3 errors, the coach moved Kelton to 2nd (which he doesn't play), and Kelton ended up getting the 3rd out of the inning...however, we LOST 9-8. This was a huge upset, both for the parents watching, the kids, and a surprise for the league. The next day, we had a game with the last team in the pool. This team, lost to both the teams that we played the day before. It came down to the team we beat must lose for us to move on. The team that beat us used their worst pitcher (I swear knowing if they won or lost they would go on-if they lost we would for sure be out, since we would both have 1 loss and they beat us.) They were blown out by the team we won the first night....hence we were out. SAD SAD SAD. So here are some pictures of Kelton getting his trophy from league. He tried out for a "Super League" team a couple weeks ago and made it. So fall baseball, here we come!

Handsome



I thought that they looked so dang handsome one Sunday in June.

ouch

Sam had a little run in with "ben and britnuts" playhouse. I don't know for sure what happened, I just know that he was playing on the playgym, and he fell by the table. He only cried for a couple minutes, then wanted to go back and play.
This picture so doesn't do it justice. I have a few on my phone that are so much better.

Strawberry Days
















Yes, last month was Strawberry Days. I am just now getting to downloading the pictures. So here you go.
