We went down to the Sunshine Baseball Tournament this last weekend. It was such great weather. (around 85) The kids swam for 4 day's straight! Poor Boston got a sunburn and was miserable the 3rd and 4th day and hardly wanted to swim, but he did find the hunting channel and was obsessed! He told my mom he wants to go to Alaska to go fishing. My mom told him to tell Papa Mike that he would take him and Boston said "No, Papa Mike doesn't have a fishin credit card." Marley almost drown twice. Once I had to jump in with my clothes on and the other time Aunt Stacey had to jump in with her clothes on. Good thing we were there and watching. But it was fun in the sun!
Wow! I can't believe that my baby is three years old already. And she is so 3, which in my humble opinion is worse than the terrible two's. But it is funny to see her little attitude. She has such a cute voice and a beautiful face. She and Boston play cute together and are best little friends :)
On Friday Mike and I went rock climbing with Copies Plus Printing (well some of them). We had a lot of fun. I can tell though that I really need to work on my upper body strength. Mike was like a frog jumping up the wall. He really enjoyed rock climbing and said that is one extreme sport he could get in to.
Our little Bo man turned 5! We can't believe how fast time goes. He will be going into Kindergarten this next fall. He had a great birthday. He got to come and eat school lunch with mom! Mike and I got him a batting helmet, batting gloves, a bag, and a bat and balls. Mike got a Red Devil pitchfork to put on the helmet so now he looks like the high school boys that his daddy coaches. He also got lego's, army men (which he loves), a bow and arrow, money, toy car, a movie, and PJ's with flip flops (which he won't take off). Mike is out in the backyard with him right now practicing baseball. We are going to put him in the t-ball leauge in Mapleton. He loves baseball.
Lamecia and I decided to take the kids sledding on one of the hills just outside the condo in Island Park. We thought it would be so fun :) it was for a minute. Then the kids started crying becuase they had to walk back up the hill, they were fighting over the sleds even though we had 8 sleds for 7 people. We had Taylor and Saige in time out for fighting, DJ was tired and crying, Marley was cold because she didn't have a hat on, Sam was... well Sam (whining), Boston was having fun until we had to walk all the way back to the car and Bailey was just Bailey pleasant. At one point Lamecia and I were just sitting at the top of the hill and we looked down and all of the kids were sprawled out at the bottom either just hanging out or crying. We both started to laugh. We both agreed it was a GREAT idea to take all of these kids by ourselves out sledding :)
We saw 2 moose while we were snowmobiling. The kids thought it was cool to see 2 moose up so close (so did all of the adults:)! What a beautiful scene.
We are having a blast in Yellowstone. We have done so much. We are here with the almost all of our Ewing Family. Every year we come to Island Park (just outside of Yellowstone Park) to relax in the condo's, snowmobile and swim at the clubhouse. These pictures are of one of our snowmobile trips to Big Springs to feed the fish, ducks, and muskrats.
