"B" is for Bowling!!!

For 'B' day- we went bowling up at Fat Cat's in Ogden! Sara Saunders took Cody & Haley & Cody's friend, Steven Bass. Colby brought his friend, Brayden, & Jessie brought her friend, Olivia. We also brought the 2 Harris girls, Ashley & Meg. They all had a blast! I had to laugh when, halfway through the game, Colby finally gave in to my suggestion of having the bumpers put up when he bowled also. He thought it was too "little kid"ish in the beginning- but after a few gutter balls- he rethought the whole thing!! We definitely had fun & I loved how excited Sadie would get even when her ball only knocked down a couple pins!! She'd still cheer & give high-fives! Why can't all my other kids be such good sports?

"A" is for Aerospace Museum!!

It's that time again!(Should we see if we can actually make it through the whole alphabet this summer?!) We started out our ABC's of summer this year with a trip to the Aerospace Museum in Roy on Memorial Day. It was really cool to go on that day because we had the opportunity to have a couple different veterans show us some cool things & talk to us about their personal experiences. I whole-heartedly believe in learning about history. I'm glad my kids learn about it in school & from books- but there is something special & memorable about learning about those things from the mouths of those who were there! It was really cool to check out all the different jets, planes, etc. My Oma always wanted to be an fighter pilot! The kids got to see cool pics of the Ogden Depot where she used to work. We took lots of fun pictures of the day, however, one of the kids erased them all off of my camera!!(along with pics of the Btfl High Boys Soccer Team winning state for the 2nd year in a row & pics of Jessie's 1st grade program! As you can guess, I'm quite distraught over that!!) So- we stopped & took a quick pic out front for the scrapbook- even though Drew & Cam weren't with us at the time! Bummer!! Still- hopefully the kids walked about away with some "mental pictures" that won't be erased by time! PS- Extra points go to Cam for being a good dad & going with us on this alphabet day- even though it's "not quite his thing"! Thanks for being a trooper, babe!
