I love this little man. Having 3 girls and only 1 boy sometimes he gets lost in the mix of things. He is so dang amazing. He is so caring and loving. He worries about his mom and goes out of his way to make sure she is ok. I can not believe he is almost 12. It scares to death. He is really growing up fast. He is such a hard worker. Since his dad has been gone he has taken on the roll of the man of the house. He makes sure the dogs are cared for, he helps in the garden, he puts the water on and he cares for his family. He is such a great example to me. He is so much like his dad and for that I am so grateful. I am blessed more than I could ever imagine I would be. I have the most wonderful family in the entire world. I am so thankful that I was trusted with these special children to be a part of my life to teach me and to bless me. My life would be so empty without them. I love each of my children more than words can express.
Jayden played his last tournament this last weekend. It was in Blackfoot. He played Thurs, Fri, and Sat. It was long days in the heat, but is was so much fun. They had 12 teams at this tournament. Our team went to the championship game on Sat. and took 2nd place for the tournament. The boys played awesome. I have no idea how they play that hard in the blazing heat. They really did play their little hearts out. It was so dang cool so see them place 2nd and recieve a trophy. It really has been an amazing season. jayden has learned so much. He made some good friends and his coaches were all awesome. I am not sure how they coach these boys, but they really did a great job. After the boys recieved trohpies we decided it was time for a group phot shoot. I will miss baseball for a bit, but the break will be nice. I am looking forward to next year.
My sister does not have internet right now so I am posting a bunch of pictures for her so my mom and dad can see them. Besides I love her little people. :) Chloe (the devil child) turned 2 on the 24th. She is so dang cute. She reminds me a lot of jayden when he was little because of how naughty she is. I love her to death. Kim had a party for her the night of the 24th. She had it carnival style. The kids had a pie eating contest, a kissing booth, face painting, a ring toss and tons more. They had so much fun. The cake as usual was dang cute. Chloe had a fun of ton getting all the attention. She got a princess bike from her mom and dad and a phone. She is such a doll. just wait until she grows up Kimmie. :)
I was downloading some pictures lastnight and I came across a few I had not taken. This is what i had found. Syd had taken the camera and decided to do a photo shoot. They were just to cute. She had gone over to a neighbors earlier that day and they put some pink in their hair just for fun. Syd thought it was pretty amazing. I know it was sick, but she would not let me wash it for 3 days. I am happy to say I did wash it and it did come out. She was having a sleep over with a couple of friends the night she decided to become a model. I love her personality. She is so dang fun.
Tonight the kids and I went for a walk around our block. When we got back I was coming up the back stairs and noticed this odd thing in the corner. This is what I found. We think she is a cat face. We decided to name her Rosa. Sonny told us not to kill her because she is a good spider so we left her there. We did mess with her a bit for some family entertainment. Jayden put a grass hopper in her web. It was crazy she ran down the web so fast and then she started to spin him. It was actually pretty cool. We sat outside and watched this spider for about 15 minutes. We decided we like her so we will keep her around for a bit. Pretty crazy.
During some down time in Soda Springs we went looking for the Spring water that Jayden wanted to taste. We did not find the Spring water, but we did find this Geyser. It went off right after we got there. The kids loved seeing it go off and it was a fun break to go and explore.
Jayden made the Rigby all star team this year for baseball. It has been a lot of fun for us. He has had to work very hard. They practice every night for 2 hours. His 1st tournament was in St. Anthony. They played a total of 6 games. They won 4 and lost
2. They took 3rd place in this tournament. The next tournament was in Soda Springs. We drove up to Soda on Thursday and camped up there. Heather, Chris and Tannia came with us to camp. We had a ton of fun. The team played 4 games they won 2 and lost 2. The team played amazing. The last games was great. We were down 13-3 and came back and tied them. After an hour into overtime the other team scored 1 point to win the game. I was a nervous wreck the entire time. It was the best game I have ever watched. I love seeing my little man out in the field playing his heart out. He loves baseball and I love watching him it is so much fun. I am so proud of him for working so hard to get to this point. I hope he will always love it.
Wow can you believe it she really is 9. I can not believe how fast it goes by. She is so fun and so energetic. I wish I had some of her energy. For her birthday we had a family party at Grandma Burgie's. We had a BBQ, pinata and watched fire works. Aunt Kimmie made her the cutest cake. She is amazing at this. We had a ton of fun. On Monday we went to Rigby Lake. She invited Shaylee one of her good friends and then Kimmie and her kids came. Heather and her kids joined us as well as Avery and Charity. We had a ton of fun. The kids all played so good together. It turned out to be a very fun filled day.
