T-Ball

Pete decided to coach a t-ball team this summer for Shaylee and Jaron.  It was an interesting experience.  Shaylee enjoyed herself, but Jaron was NOT interested in playing t-ball at all.  Shaylee did great and I think she really liked having Pete coach her.  She also enjoyed having her friend, Hannah on the team.  Jaron only played in two of the games.  I got him to play in those games by running the bases with him.  I looked super cute running those bases with my flip flops, let me tell ya!  The things you do for your kids when your a mom!  :)

What a cutie!

Our little star!

She is so adorable!

Boating

The day after the fair, we were invited to go out on our friends' boat.  The beginning of the trip was a little crazy because both Jaron and Shaylee were scared to get on the boat and of course one of us had to hold Maycee, We finally calmed them down and got them on the boat and they got used to and were fine.  It was a little cool and choppy, but Kenyon decided to try and knee board and he was able to get up and did such a great job!  Brandon wasn't quite as successful, but he got really anxious when he was in the water and I think that is why he struggled.  After knee boarding we headed to a beach that had this great big sand hill the kids could climb.  They loved it and Jaron had a great time making a castle with Pete.  The kids played in the water and had so much fun.  Once we were done with beach we headed back out on the boat and went tubing.  Shaylee loved the tube!  I was surprised at how brave she was, because it was pretty bouncy and choppy out there.  The boys had a great time on the tube as well.  It was such a fun day and the kids had a blast!  Thank you, Reids for inviting us!

The Clark County Fair

On August 5th, we went to the Clark County fair.  It had been a few years since we had been, but we had a blast!  We went after Pete got home from work and spent the rest of the day and evening there.  We started out with Pete taking  the two younger kids on the little rides and I watched the older boys ride the bigger rides.  We then met up for a yummy and expensive dinner!  For dessert we ate an elephant ear, YUM!  Then we split up again with me taking the younger kids and Pete going with the big boys.  I used up all of our tickets on the rides and then took the little ones to see the animals.  They loved it.  The boys were having a blast going on all the fun spinny rides.  They convinced Pete to join them on two and on the last one poor Pete threw up on the ride!  He just doesn't do spinny rides well.  Poor guy!  Besides that little incident it was a great time and we love the Clark County fair!

Pete and the boys loved this ride!

 

The tilt a whirl is my favorite ride!

This is the spinny ride that Pete threw up on - the boys are riding it alone a few hours before the throwing up incident!

Best friends and brothers!

Maycee enjoyed the fair, just like this!  She was SO good!
