Soccer and School

We are full swing into school and sports so here is an update on the kiddos.

Brex started Soccer a couple of weeks ago and he's loving it. He's scored 2 goals for the past 2 games.  His team is the green machine and they are quite the team.  Brex is loving kindergarten.  In the mornings he goes with Trey to the big kid field and plays whiffle ball or football with all the boys.  He loves it and they love having him there.  Some of Trey's friends came up to us and said can't Brex just come play with us in the mornings???!! Ever since then he's been over there with them. The best was when they were playing football.  Brex told us that some kid in a red shirt tackled him and all of Trey's friends started going after the kid for tackling him.  Hey you don't mess with Brex especially if Trey and his buddies are around!

 

So I gave him a smoothie. No need to say more. ;)

Daddy loves his soccer player!

Elle has started choir and of course loves it and she also started an art class.  This girl is quite the artist!  She's learning so much in her art class and is one happy girl!  My girl is also so stinkin smart!!! Cale asked me the other night if I ever check her homework. I said no not unless she asks me too or if I need to sign something. Cale grabbed her homework and sat down to go over it and was blown away.  She had all of her bagillion pages of homework done and she had only missed 1 problem.  Our girl is such a sweetheart and gets a long with everyone. I know I'm bragging but seriously there isn't a person that she doesn't get along with. We love her!!

Crazy kids

Trey is still doing baseball and is having a blast with school.  He's got an awesome teacher again this year.  He passed his math test with a 100% and his teacher bought him a 2 liter of soda and a thing of cotton candy!  How cool is that!  He played in a tournament this past weekend and owned it!! He pitched so good.  The first day he had 6 strike outs and no walks.  His hitting was awesome! With 9 at bats he hit 6 times and struck out twice and had 1 walk. It's fun to see his hard work paying off for him.  I'm not gonna lie when this kid get excited I can't help but get excited with him.  It's so infectious!!

 One of his hits! 

All of my kids are doing amazing and I couldn't be prouder of the people they are and becoming.  Everyday I am in awe of them.  They make me want to be a better mom and person!  I tear up every time I think of how fast time is slipping away.  I want them to stay young forever but I am so excited to see where their journeys take them. Nothing is more important than family and the time you make to spend it with them. Cherish it for one day they will no longer be little. 

School and such

The school year has officially started for all of the kids.  Brex had his kindergarten assessment test last Monday and the kid rocked it!!! The teachers were so impressed with his fine motor skills and said he's ready to go right into reading.  Elle and Trey like their classes and I think this year will be a good year.

Trey and Elle their 1st day of school and Brex on his 1st day. 

 
Look at my baby go! Fun Story: The 2nd day of school.
Us: How did school go today?
B: Not so good.
Us: What? Why not? What Happened?
B: My teacher made us do table work all day!!!

He was only in school for 1hr and 40 mins.  It was so funny!

We went to the batting cages and all 3 kids had a lot of fun.

Trey got invited to a birthday party and it was an old fashion baseball game. Red Sox vs. Yankees with wooden bats.  Trey was a Red Sox and they won. After the game they did a home run derby contest and Trey won with 4 home runs.  They gave him a trophy that says home run derby champ!  It was an awesome birthday party and he had a blast!

Lastly we went to Price for Dan and Michelle's open house.  It was really nice and a quick trip.  The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins and running till they were exhausted!  Thanks everyone for letting us stay and hang out with you!

Summer part 2

We did enjoy a lot of baseball but we did do other things too!  The kids were in swimming lessons all summer and that led to lots of days spent at the pool.  My brothers got married, we had family visit, went to Tuachan, and had loads of cars problems, sickness and who can forget Birthday week!  Here are more pictures of our summer.

We had a blast meeting friends at the pool and swimming to our hearts content!

For the 4th we went down to gram and papa's house and lit up the sky with our fun fireworks!

The week after the 4th and the week of Allstars my family came down.  We went and saw When you Wish at Tuachan and hit up some ball games and had a blast!

At Tuachan!

Riding up to Cedar for one of the games.  My parents brought a big ol bag of swedish fish and lets just say Brex was a happy camper!

For the 24th of July we did the annual go to my work and climb to the top of the roof and watch the amazing firework show!  We love it and it's been such a fun tradition that the kids look forward too every year!

We also got some bowling time in at the new fiesta fun center.  We also managed a few date nights with our youngest!

We managed to get to Dan and Michelles wedding on Aug. 8th.  It was a beautiful day filled with laughter and great company! It also kick started our festivities for Birthday week.

 We had a blast playing with the cousins and I had a great lunch with my sisters, mom, aunt and gramps. It's not very often we all get to be together especially now that Polly is in North Carolina.

Summer part 1

Today is the first day of school for the kiddos.  Where has summer gone??? Here is a picture filled post of some of our summer activities.

First off Trey had an awesome birthday!  He played a semi championship little league game.  I've never seen him play so amazing before. This kid was spot on on everything and even though they lost he did soooo good! After he had a big sleepover with his big group of buddies.

 So I'm not gonna lie but we did a lot of baseball this summer and I mean A LOT!! We had tournaments every weekend in June, 2 in July and 2 in Aug.  Trey got to play with the Sidewinders that is in the age group below him and they ended up winning 2 championships!!! In the first tournament he got 2 infield home runs!! It was such a great experience for him and us as we all walked away with new friendships and great memories.

 Championship #1 Kanab Tournament 

What an awesome duo these boys are!

 Championship #2 Beaver Bash!

 Elle and Brex have been amazing all summer and have loved exploring the new places we gone and making tons of new friends. They truly are Treys #1 fans!!

 Finally getting to play some more ball with our Outlaws! 

He actually got to play catcher in a game.  It was nerve racking but he loved it!

 I love that Cale gets to coach Trey and I know they have a special relationship due to this time that they are spending together.

 Trey made Allstars for little league and in July he played a week straight. His team made it to the championship and lost in the last game to a team that beat us once and we beat them once.  It was a tough loss but what a great experience for him and his buddies to have.

After all of the games we had a pool party at the City Pool and boy did that bring back memories!

I love these kiddos of mine!
