2017 Bucket List

We finally had a chance yesterday to sit down and discuss the things the boys wanted to do this summer and put together our Summer bucket list. They came up with some good things...we will be busy this summer!

Baseball 2017

This week was the end of our baseball season for Landon and Travis. They both have loved playing and have learned lots...especially Travis. When there weren't games, they had practice. His team will end the season going in #1 or #2 into their tournament next week in Powell.

My kids are so lucky that they have both sets of grandparents close that are so good about coming to support them in all they do.

Landon T-ball

T-ball is so entertaining to watch! The kids are hilarious and just happy to be there!

Because it was their last game, they gave the kids three pitches before they gave them the ball on the tee. Landon was able to hit his pitches and "almost hit his coach in the noggin" as he exclaimed as he came into home plate!

June...this far!

These last two weeks have been a crazy whirl wind! The first full week out of school, the boys attended sports camps. Travis and Carson attended at 3 day basketball camp and Carson went to a two day wrestling camp. They both learned lots and enjoyed them!

Basketball participants.

This was the first basketball camp Carson had attended. I kind of had to talk him into it, but I thought going and learning the sport would be good for him...especially if he thinks he might want to try and play next year as a 6th grader.

When we weren't doing camps, we were busy with baseball, visiting the splash pad and getting ready for girls camp.

My friend, Staci Blomstedt, was in town visiting her sister and we took the kids to play in the water. It was so fun to be able to visit with her and catch up on life in McCook.

The little league teams were asked to be a part of the first home game for the Mustangs this year.

Last Monday, I left for a week up in Red Lodge at girl's camp. I was called to be a Stake 4th years leader again this year. We had a really good group again this year and had no problems...minus mice who kept us up at night! We did finally catch one, but there were still more we could hear...ICK! Our theme this year was BOOT (build our own testimonies) camp. It was a great week full of the spirit, laughter, and friendships! I was sure happy to get home Friday, though, and take a nap and shower!

The 4th years rappelled on Monday as one of their certifications.

 While I was gone, the boys were kind of farmed out to family. They spent two days with Grandma Asay, two days with Grandma Foulger and Christian took Friday off and took the boys fishing. They were all able to catch fish on this trip.

 Saturday, after a baseball game in the morning, we loaded up the 4-wheelers and headed out in the hills behind grandpa Asay's house for a ride. The grass was super tall and the caterpillars were everywhere!

These caterpillars were ALL over! The boys had fun finding them and then squishing their green guts out.

Grandpa's cows will love all this tall grass. It was up to Carson's waist!

Three years ago, we took a pic in this same spot!

 We stopped and explored the hoodoos.

The rock formations are so neat out here.
