YM campout

Since Landon's team lost out on Thursday, Travis was able to make it back home Friday in time to head out with the teacher and deacon's quorum for a one night camp out. They hiked a little, fished and just played aroudn up in the mountains like boys like to do!

State baseball

On Wednesday, the teams (both the majors and minors team made it to state...first time in league history that both of them made it!) met up to all ride together down to Gillette for State. We were able to use the Club Dauntless vans so the boys could all ride together. Christian and I were leavin the next morning super early for a trip, so we weren't able to go down and watch them play their first game. Luckily, I have great friends and family that sent me videos and Gamechanger had a live feed of the game! It was so fun to be able to watch Landon when I couldn't be there in person, which was hard on my momma heart. The minors team played Torrington first. They lost 2-5. Landon had a great game. He pitched and had one the teams 4 hits in the game. Grandma Asay, Carson and Travis made the trip down Thursday when they played Bridger Valley (who we played for the championship at Districts). We were able to watch about and inning of this game before our plane took off and we lost service. The boys ended up loosing 11-8. Landon lead their team with 3 hits. Loosing that game put them out of the tournament and taking 4th place. It was such a great experience for Landon and we are so proud of him and his team for having such a great year!!

The minors bus

Grandpa and Grandma Foulger came over before Landon left for state and gave him a good luck at state package!

Both the Majors and the Minors team took 4th place at State!

The team ended up staying another night and coming home the next day. All three of my boys had a blast at the pool in the hotel. It had some cool waterslides. The tried to build a human train as lond as they could and all go down the slide together. The video was hilarious!

I was told that Travis slept all the way to Gillete and all the way home...Of course Carson had to document it and send it to me!

On a side note, this year was the first year in our leagues histories that all of our local baseball teams qualified for state in their respective classes. They decided to get all the teams together and get a picture to remember it. It was a great year for baseball at all levels!!

District All-Star Baseball

Landon was able to make the All-Star team again this year and we spent the last week watching him play at the District tournament in Cody. They ended up having an excellent week and made it to state baseball! Their first game was against Cody and we played pretty terrible! We lost to them which sent us to play Rock Springs who we beat 19-7. We played Powell next and won 15-8, sending us into the championship game and punching the Mustange's ticket to state baseball! We used up pretty much all of our pitchers in the previous game, so we knew this game was probably going to be pretty ugly. The boys ended up losing 7-17, but they were so excited to be able to keep playing next week in Gillette in the State Tournament!! They began the tournament introducing all the teams and then had a team feed for the teams.

It's always fun to form new friendships with other moms when my kids are on sports teams. Here is the great group of ladies (we were missing one of the moms) I was able to get to know better this summer. They are a fun bunch of ladies!

We did manage to sneak in an evening on the boat in between all our baseball games.

New Smile!

Travis finally compled his braces and got them off today. He said his teeth feel super big, but man they look so good!! First round:

Finished product of the final round of braces!

High adventure

Before I got home from girl's camp on Thursday, Carson and Travis left for the Stake young men's high adventure. They were going up on the Big Horns for a three day pack trip and had to carry all their own gear and food for the three days. They hiked several miles each day, made camp at night and then started it all over agin the next morning. Both boys had a blast and said it wasn't as hard as they made it sound like it was going to be! It was fun to listen to their stories and the highlight for them was probably seeing a baby bear while they were hiking...which scares me because that means there was a momma bear somewhere close! Yikes!!

While they were gone, we kept ourselves busy with some fishing on the mountain (we caught 40 fish between the 3 of us in about 45 minutes) and helping grandpa Asay move some cows.
