Logan went to BYU Soccer Camp the second week of June for 4 days and learned a lot. His team played for the championship in the end-of-the-week tournament, they took 2nd, but deserved 1st. (of course, this is the mom speaking) I couldn't believe the difference in his aggressiveness. He is going to be even more fun to watch him play this year AAA.

Logan got invited to got to Timberline @ Mountain Dell in Mt.Pleasant. He reluctantly went for 6 whole days, he did call home once to see if I was okay, but by the end he loved it and got invited back to be on staff next year. And yes, his pack probably weighs as much as him.

Addie decided she wanted her dad's attention in coaching and thought she'd give softball another try. They only won 3 games during the season but now is kicking but in the city tournament.

Drexton is now the pep squad leader and gets the crowd involved.

Taggert will be done this week with a long season of Machine/Coach Pitch baseball coached again by our very own best coach Brad.

And amongst all the craziness around here, Brett and Lori(my brother and his wife) had their first baby! Braddock J born June 22, 6lbs 8 oz. 20 in. We're so excited for them. And look at my baby's hand on top of that baby's head. Makes me sad, they grow up too fast.

We've had 2 Birthdays, Shout Hurray!!

Adelin is officially a "ten"ager! Going on 15, you know, wants a cell phone so she can text her friends, go shopping all day like money grows on trees, but she is still interested in babysitting. (For money, I'm sure.) We love her, and her eclectic personality, maybe she'll be a fashion designer someday. She is so fun to be around, quick witted, and fabulous at playing the piano.

Logan is officially a teenager! He's getting so big. (Literally) He is now, as of last week for the wonderfully yearly physical, 3/4 inch taller than me. I know, not hard right?! I just knew this day would come but I'm not sure I'm ready for it! Good thing I still got 10 pounds on him and I know pressure points. He is doing great at soccer and is at BYU Camp this week, his team is going AAA and Dad is now the Head Coach! Yes, our lives just got a little busier as if we thought that was possible.

Logan earned 8 more merit badges and Star Scout, he's just waiting till the end of June to be a Life. Then only 3-4 more merit badges and his Eagle Project. Yeah!!

He's headed to Timberline in 2 weeks, I'm so proud of him!

So Far in May...
Addie took 2nd in the 50-meter in her heat, and 3rd in the 100-meter in her heat, so she got to check out early and spend the rest of the day at preschool-field day with me and Drexton. She was a big help! She is going to make a great babysitter!!

Drexton graduated from preschool for the 4th time. (That's what happens when you have to go to work with mom.)
He did so great singing all the songs and staying on stage this time. (He should know them by now).
And sweet little Brevin!! Gosh I'm gonna miss being with this kid and his mom 3 days a week.

I'm not quite sure what these 2 are doing. (Tag on the left, my nephew Trey on the right). Addie was in charge of pics, guess she had fun.

Last Saturday for Mother's Day we took the kids riding out to Mapleton, it was so nice to have some down time with each other, and the weather was perfect.

Tag got the hang of his little motorbike and just took off, Drexton just kept telling me to go through the mud puddles faster.

Addie was nicknamed Evil Canevil (not sure on the spelling). But was not afraid of any hill.

Logan looks so big on his new 4-wheeler.

Logan's AA Soccer team (Salem Shooters) took second all-around for the year. Way to go Logan! I'm sure it had nothing to do with that great (good-looking, I might add) coach.

He was supposed to be in bed, ready to be tucked in, thought he was funny wearing my glasses pretending to read my book.

SHARK TOOTH!!

That is the silver crown from the back side and the rest was the root stuck up in his gum.

Taggert is the dentist's best friend. By the time he was 3, he had 6 crowns, and 5 fillings. Because we don't treat him any different than the other 3 kids, I tell myself it's because he was born 4 weeks early and maybe wasn't born with enough enamel on his teeth, Right?, Right! He has lost two other teeth with help from me, but this third one started coming in before the other one was out. We finally had to take him to the dentist last Friday to have it pulled, and it's a good thing, he would've never gotten that sucker out by himself. Suprisingly, one week later it is already coming forward in it's right spot.

Taegbo?

If you can't find Drexton while shopping, he's not hiding under the racks like most kids, just look for the nearest mannequin. I wonder if this is what Taegbo, the imaginary friend, looks like or if he thinks these guys just look lonely.

EASTER AND SUCH...

Field trip to Wild Wonders in Genola with the preschool. Huge Mama tortoise.

Brand-new baby tortoise.

Leo the Lion at Rio Tinto Stadium touring the Real Soccer facilities.

Logan with a breakaway move as striker in Saturday's game. Sorry to report the shot-on-goal was deflected.

I know, I'm a little slow...
So my brother-in-law, Bill has been watching the cake boss on TLC and decided with Brett that they wanted a contest between the family, all boys and no help from the wives. I must say Brad was not to thrilled of adding one more thing to his busy schedule, especially baking.
But he was a good sport and made the entire thing from scratch.
He won Best Themed Cake, being we had the contest on Valentine's Day.

The boys really wanted to help, but Brad was all about winning after spending 2 days on this adventure.

Can you tell which one was store bought and put into his own pan with fingerprint evidence?

Mom and Dad were the taste testers. Good thing there was 4 categories, so everyone wins!

Gosh, I miss being with this cutie pie everyday. I mean Brevin, my nephew, Brad thank goodness comes home everyday and asks "what needs to be done?"

Basketball season has come to an end!:( Now what,you say? Logan's spring soccer & tryouts, Addie wants to try softball now, and Taggert's playing coach pitch. And yes, Brad will be coaching all of them. May the energy be with us!

Way to go Addie, they won their last game 47-38, but they don't keep score right?!? Well the little brother and Grandpa did, she had to earn that trip to the bakery some how. ;)
