Long Time


Wow it has been forever since I have been on here, it is hard to believe that summer has already gone by and here it is time for Thanksgiving. We had a great spring/summer, we were able to travel to Utah to visit family and then go on some fun camping and hiking trips.

The kids all started school again, Kylee is now a Freshman and yes it is hard for me to believe that she is already that old. During the summer she played summer league basketball and practiced with the soccer team. She played as the stopper on the varsity soccer team and loved every minute of it. She actually told me if she had to choose she would play soccer over basketball. The soccer team took 2nd in districts, then lost in sudden death penalty kicks at the state play-in game. It was such a good/bad game, but it was a great experience for Kylee. They are ready to go get them next year!

Ben is now in 6th grade and is enjoying school, the poor kid is stuck with seeing me everyday, but I don't think it bothers him as much as it did Kylee!! He really loves going hunting with Jaime and is anxiously waiting for his turn to shoot an animal.

Brooke is in 2nd grade and is loving school. She is doing very well and can't wait for basketball to start! She has decided that she is going to be just like Kylee and play soccer and basketball.

So that is a quick recap of what is going on, now I will post some pictures of our last 8 months!! Hope you all enjoy!

Archery

Jaime's Uncle Dave is big into archery and asked if Jaime and Ben would like to go on an archery shoot with him. Ben was all excited about it, he loves to do anything involved with guns and hunting. He has his own bow and can shoot really well with it, but he couldn't take it for this trip. Uncle Dave had some long bows for everyone to use. Well I am just going to say this shoot was a success, Ben absolutely loved it and decided he wanted to do more with his bow. About a week later Uncle Dave came over with a new long bow for Ben, he had built it himself and Ben was thrilled. So that Saturday we decided we would take the kids out and try to get some whistle pigs with the bows. We had so much fun, the kids all had the chance to shoot the bows and they had a great time trying to shoot the whistle pigs, we didn't have any success with the bows, but we had fun trying. Here are some pictures from shooting with Uncle Dave.
