Sports, Sports, and more Sports!

So I'm sure all of you are asking yourselves where I've been. It's summer, things have finally slowed down right? WRONG! I have been running all over. We started with a week of basketball camp in Preston for Kaden. Followed by a week of basketball camp in Logan at USU for Kaden as well. After that he left for scout camp, and while he was gone Ali had softball tournaments. This morning I dropped Ali off and she is on her way to 4-H camp. Tyce is having a sleepover tonight, and then this weekend I am going to go home to Dubois so Kaden can go camping with my dad. We have also been to a ward camp out, and had other friends and sleepovers. I think June is flying by because of all the running, but we are having fun. FUN is what summer is all about anyway RIGHT!

So, this first picture is Kaden at the USU basketball camp. He did really well on the first day, so he a two of his buddies got bumped up to play with the 7th graders. (They moved the better of the 6th graders. I think they had lots of 6th and not as many 7th.) I thought I took a great picture here. I caught it just as he was going behind his back. What a good photographer.

Kaden's team was a good little team. They played a tournament at the end and Kaden's team beat the team that had never been beaten, and won the tournament. He got a T-shirt that says CAMP CHAMP. We were very proud of him. He also got an award for the most coachable player on the team. We were glad to hear this as well. We want him to listen and learn, and not be one of those kids that are sure they know it all! I'm sure you've all seen them!


This next picture is Ali at her softball tourn. on Saturday. The rain let up so they could play. It did sprinkle on us a few times, but we can't complain after all the rain this month. Ali lost her first game to the blue team, so then they had a break. (if you call running to the primary activity for awhile a break). Then she went back and played the pink team. We won, so we went up against the blue team again. This time WE won, so we had to play them AGAIN. WE WON which made her team the CHAMPS! She was very excited because now they get there picture in the paper. It was a long 9 hour day with 3 of the 4 games against the same team, but all worth it in the end. (I guess I forgot that she also played one game against purple on Friday night, and won that as well). It all runs together like a big blurr.

Well, I guess that's a brief catching up. I will have pictures of Paige playing softball next time. She has one last game to play that was canceled because of rain. After that I think the only other sports things this summer are Kaden's golfing, and soccer starts toward the end of the summer as well. I guess swimming lessons is sort of a sport too. Oh- well, it was a nice thought...
