Scroll Down Through Moab!!
I just realized that I was so behind that some of my new posts are on a second page. Please be sure to click on older posts. There are some pictures of Anders trip to Moab and repelling a 150 foot arch!!! That's not one to be missed!!!
16??!!
I can't believe Anders is 16!!! He had a BBQ with his friend Brian who also turned 16 at the end of July and lots of friends. It was so much fun. At grandma and grandpa's the next night, Anders received lots of thoughtful presents centered around his favorite thing to do-Mountain Biking!!! New shock, handlebars, stem for his handlebars, gloves, magazine subscription. A highlight was the personalized wrapping paper from Joseph and uncle Brett with mountain biking scenes. Wish I had pictures of Anders BBQ but we were worried about the thunder storms that were threatening. I hope he felt how much we love him and how grateful I am for a kind, conscientious, well-mannered, hard-working, respectful son. (I could have easily kept going)
4th of July
Games!!!
Fireworks
Feeding Chickens (and scratching mosquito bites)
"I see the gate first!!"
Retiring the old flag
Unfurling the New
Family Hike to the 'Big Tree'
Thayne Parade
All the participants in the parade threw candy. The kids ran to grab it. So fun to watch the competition and the sharing.
Everyone needs to spend at least one 4th of July in a small town. There's nothing like it!!
Cousins Working Together at the Ranch
Garrett and Anders went to the ranch to work for grandma and grandpa. It was nice to get an email from grandma telling us what great hardworking boys they are. We agree!!
Tait's 7th
I forgot to post Tait's birthday. He's such a great kid. We always say, "he's going to be somebody". He has an intensity and desire that is so unique for a boy his age. He wants to make the most of anything he tries. It is very hard to keep him busy, however. He's exhausting and wonderful!
T-Ball and Softball
Spring and early summer were VERY crazy for us. Tait was finishing his competitive soccer league. They sang Happy Birthday to him at one of his last games. His coach asked the other players how old they thought he was. When they realized they had been playing with a 6 year old they were surprised. Most of the other kids were 8. He started baseball, Finn played T-ball, Elli and Anna were playing softball and Bret was in a softball league in Salt Lake. I coached Anna's team. Bret helped with Tait and Finn's teams. Can I just tell you how nuts we were. Tuesdays we had at least 4 games and had a few 6 game nights. It was a logistics nightmare!! How we wished Anders was driving then.
