Change

Change....is not my favorite thing. This past two months have been full of change. In July Ryan decided to apply to a new job in Idaho Falls. He had an interview a week later. A week after that he found out he got the job. We had two weeks to pack and prepare for the move. And....here we are in Idaho Falls living with my parents. It was very hard leaving friends and family behind in St. George. We had grown to love it there, and it was our home. I know that this year is going to be rough, but I also know that things are going to work out here as well. It will just take time for us all to adjust to things.

Peyton started his first day of school today. I cannot believe he is in the 4th grade. That seems so old. I am so proud of Peyton. He has been amazing through this move. He has helped out with his brothers, and has been positive about everything. He is the best big brother!!

Everybody Play BALL!!

Peyton & Jack both have new basketball shoes. Thanks to a "donation" from Grandpa Danny Peyton was able to get some new shoes for his Utah State basketball camp. Jack immediately wanted a pair and requested some for his birthday. Uncle Chris spoiled him and bought him some. Jack also got his very own basketball for his birthday. D.J. really does think that he is big just like his brothers. He will go up to the hoop and try to shoot his little basketball in it. It is so funny.

Buy me some peanuts and cracker "Jacks!!"

A scooter from Uncle Chris! so cool!!

Peyton & Jack with their game faces on....

Jack turned 4 on June 3rd. He was so excited because this was the first year he was able to have a party and invite all of his friends. We invited ten kids and it was quite the party. We had a baseball theme and everything from the invites, the cupcakes, the decorations, the party gifts were baseball oriented. It was such a fun theme to work around. I absolutely love throwing parties and I love to go all out. We certainly did on this one, and it ended up being a real "hit". Peyton put together the cutest score board, and had a few friends over to help with the water baseball game.

Take me out to the ballgame....

Peyton's baseball season is officially over. He loved every minute of it, and did such a great job. He mainly played first base, but he really like playing short stop and left field as well. He had 10 homeruns this season. Peyton is such a disciplined athlete. He loves to practice which is

rare for an 8 year old. We are so proud of him.

I'm one!!

D.J. had his first birthday on May 29th. He is getting to be such a big boy. He has been walking since 9 months so by now he can get around really well. He gets into anything and everything ALL the time. He is a very busy boy and keeps us on our toes. He loves to try anything his brothers are doing so naturally his favorite things to do relate to a ball and sports. He can say a few words. He says; go, ma, dad, Jack, ta ta for Peyton, tan tu for thank you, and hi. We had a birthday party for him and invited Grandma Suzie & Terry, Annie, Dustin, Ian, Deb, Doug, and of course Chris. He got such great presents, and loved being the center of attention.

Jack's Pre-school graduation

We are so proud of Jack. He did so well in pre-school this year. He started half-way through the year so the teacher was a little worried about him fitting in and catching up, but he ended up doing great. The teacher was so cute about him and told me what a good kid he is. This made me feel good because there are times when I start to wonder about this one. Jack definately has quite the personality. His teacher, "Miss Kathy" held the cutest little graduation in her backyard. Jack sung his little heart out. I thought for sure he was going to be hoarse afterward. It was hilarious. Good job little Buddy!!

I had to throw this picture of D.J. in here. This was taken right before the graduation. He was really cracking himself up....ha ha ha

Grandma Suzie's

We stayed with Grandma Suzie and Terry in Tooele during the "wedding weekend". The boys love to play crochet and had to get a quick game in while we were there. It can get pretty competitive, but they always have a good time.
