Denver Vacation

Nicholas was scouted out and invited to go to the FBU (Football University) camp. So we decided to make a vacation out of it and have some fun. This was such a fun experience for Nicholas, he was able to be coached by some retired NFL football players. My favorites were Cecil Martin, Marc Logan and Josh Scobey. They were some really awesome men that were good examples and wanted them to learn the game but let them know that it wasn't ALL about football. They were trying to teach them that the most important thing was to be good enough to get an education at a university so you can have a degree. They also taught about having values and goals. They told them to write them down and look at them daily. It was fun to listen to them talk and teach the boys. I loved it. We had fun as a family just being able to be together and not have any plans. Our life is so busy so it was so fun just being able to go and do whatever we wanted to do.

First thing we did GO SWIMMING!

April May 2012

 I have come to the conclusion that May is almost as busy if not crazier than December. Holy Moly can I just say, Holy Moly. Dylan and Jackson played two sports this year at the same time. (NEVER) again I have to say. I have learned my lesson and now I'm a little bit smarter. Baseball and Soccer practices/games took up the entire week. Not including Nicholas' two sports baseball/basketball. Skyler started Piano in April and Sydney was my little social butterfly but thank goodness she was home to help out this month. Some other things that happened, I helped with Broadway Magic April 27th and 28th - now that was a lot of work but I worked with AWESOME ladies and we had tons of fun. Here are a few pictures... baseball.... mud football.... soccer..... Broadway.... moon.... syd's birthday.... hair cut.... 3rd grade talent show..Dylan got braces.. what woman want..... graduation baseball... graves...These are in RANDOM order!!!!  That is how my life is very RANDOM  at times!!! 

Sydney played the violin for Graduation.  So proud of her.

We had the Hirschi boys over for 4 days while Kristine and Mike were in Hawaii, the boys were so dirty so I told them to get there swim suits on were taking a swimming bath.  They had tons of fun.

Love this boy!
