FATHERS
I know I missed it in my blogging, but I want the fathers in our lives to know they are not forgotten. As for "our" Dad, the kids fixed him a great breakfast and bed and were delighted to serve him. Kate drew a picture to go with breakfast and they were happy to see him enjoy it. We bought Greg a new grill, so I'm sure he'll be cooking us some good dinners! Greg works so hard for our family and is such a caring father.

As for our Grandpa's, we are so lucky to have them all in our lives. The boys love to hang out with them either on a trip, fishing, golfing, watching motorcycle races, sports, TV and going on field trips together. Kate loves Grandpas for hugs, thrown up in the air and just hanging out. Thanks for all the support our Grandpas give us!

For Greg and I, we both have great fathers who support us in so many ways. They are always there for us with advice and help anytime we need.

Thanks DADS!

SaLuTe tO tHe FaNs!

I cannot forget the fans who come to all the games that the boys play, number one being KATE! She is such a trooper as she watches at least 5 hours each Saturday. She has so many friends on Ty's team and they play so good together. At Dalton's games, she makes friends with the person who has the best treats! It's pretty funny to watch her.

We also need to thank all of our grandparents who come to the games. The kids love seeing them there! THANKS!

TEAM SHOCK!!!

Ty's team had a great baseball season and just qualified for the Tournament of Champions. They have great coaches and the kids just really have fun together! Shock is almost all North Ogden kids except for Ty and Tyler who is from Farr West. Ty's coach does a great website with the players pics, stats and schedules. Ty has played catcher and outfield this year. He has really improved and has hit really well too!

Way to go Dodgers!

Dalton played on a new comp team this year named the North Ogden Dodgers. They were a first year team and had a lot of catching up to do, but showed so much improvement by the end of the year. The team was made up mostly on North Ogden kids, but had 3 Plain City kids. He played outfield, second, and even got to pitch in a game! He had a great time!

4th of July at Bear Lake

For the first time in a LONG time we missed the Plain City 4th of July celebration and celebrated for the weekend in Bear Lake with the (Cody)Rhees family. The weather was awesome (I got my wish for below 100 degrees on the 4th) and the kids had a great time. Dalton and Greg golfed and met us later that day at the beach. Ty loves to swim in Bear Lake and Kate plays in the sand and spent an hour just jumping the little waves that came to shore. Ty and Dalton rode the 4-wheeler a lot and Kate played with Courtney and Blakely. At night, we sat out on the deck and watched all the fireworks. It was gorgeous!

Rain, Rain, Rain!

Here in Utah, June has been the wettest month I can remember. The ballgames have been pleasantly cool and the yard looks like we live in Washington! The boys have had a lot of rain-outs (baseball), so I think we'll be playing into July. I am hoping for a cooler 4th of July - wouldn't that be great?

DoInG HeR oWn HaIr AlReAdY?

Recently, Kate has started to do her own hair. Although Greg and I are amazed how well she does for a 3 year old, I am really not ready for this!! Can you imagine how long it takes her? It requires lots of water, gel and hair accessories and usually falls out before we make it to the car! Despite this, she is very proud of herself as you can see!

ARIZONA

I just got back from a visit to Arizona to see Colleen (my birth Mom) and hang out with my good friend Pam Garfield Brown. It was so good to see both of them and visit with their friends and families.

Pam arranged a night out with the girls, so I was able to see Natalie (Pam's sister-in-law and my friend from our "girls trips"). We had a great time. Pam's family was so sweet to let me stay with them! Thanks Ryan for sharing Pam for a few days!

After that, I was able to go stay with Hal and Colleen. She has had some health problems, so I wanted to spend some time with her. We were able to visit with her friend Sherry and had a great time. We cooled down in the pool, shopped, took a nap and just hung out! It was very relaxing for me and good to see Colleen. She had been working hard on scrapbooks, so we were able to look at those. I am very grateful to Greg for watching the kids so that I could spend that time with Colleen.

OdDs & EnDs

This month we bid farewell to my nephew, Kyle, who is going on a mission to Rapid City, South Dakota. (Same Mission as my brother) Yes, it's the same kid I used to love to take everywhere with me. I cannot believe he is old enough!! Kyle is such a great person and we know he will be an excellent missionary!

Also, I have started a new job this month. I am working for Dr. Brett Coleman (orthodontist) as a marketing coordinator. I am really excited about the job and the people I work with. I just hope I can quit saying Coleman Knitting instead of Coleman Orthodontics!!
