T Ball

Here is our sporty little Payton.

He is four years old until September, and SO enjoyed his first year of T-Ball!

Go Bulldogs!!

Payton and his good buddy Thannon! They were able to play on the same team!

Thanks to their fabulous coaches Brooke and Kluane for making it so fun!

One of Payton's last T-Ball games this summer... it was our day to bring treats, so I brought the kids Oreo Cakesters with Caprisun drinks. Owen saw them and was vocal until I grabbed one for him. (though I don't know what I was thinking) I opened it up and handed it over... I guess fully expecting that it may be a bit messy, but it would go straight to his mouth... just like everything else in this world!

So, here I am chatting away with the parents, snapping pictures of the kids. Owen looks at me, squishes the cakester with all his might, crumbling it everywhere, then serenely proceeds to lick the EXCESS of his fingers. I swear this boy knows exactly what he is doing. Typically he devours every bit of food or treat so quickly you would think I never feed him... but not this!

His expression seemed to say, "Watch this Mommy! So, watcha going to do about it?"

Laugh I guess... and take a picture!

(he then proceeded to wipe all extra bits he could find in his lap, ALL OVER HIS FACE.)

Sweet little thing!

lovely breeze {Owen's birthday photo shoot part II: location}

Love,

that in such peace by mountains lie

blows on nightly breezes,

its found a current on which to fly,

a sensitive place to claim.

It's settled on this heart of mine

and traded winds for feelings...

feelings,

never once abashed or weak.

i love them...

...my sweet boys!
Thanks so much to Payton for trying to keep Owen happy while we snapped!!!!
... and thank you Owen, for just being you!

a bit of summer....

Our cute neighbor girls found some orphaned baby birds in their backyard and are taking care of the teeny things.

They brought them over to give us a peek and we let them play on the front lawn!

How totally sweet! The PICTURE of summer!!!!

Girls Camp: The Hike

I went up to girls camp for the day of the hike! Myself and Melissa (our YW President) and Audrey (our Personal Progress Specialist) left bright and early at 3:00am!!!!! Whoo!

We got there in time for the girls to wake, and have a beautiful early morning flag ceremony.
