2nd Grade

I can't believe that these two are in second grade now. School started on Monday, July 28. We had 6 weeks of summer and we were ready to get back in to the routine of school but its always hard sending them back. Our first track break isn't until October. They like their teacher though and have friends from last year in their class so that made them happy. 

Tim McGraw

I am still dying that I was there!!! Justin got me tickets to see Tim McGraw at USUANA amphitheater for our anniversary. I was so excited because I have wanted to see him for years. It was totally beyond my expectation and I loved every minute of it. Justin isn't a country fan but he did it for me and I truly appreciate his willingness to go! It was a perfect date night!!!

We drove to Preston on te 25th to see Grandma Merrill. Thanks for the fun visit!

24th of July

We spent the 24th of july in Logan with Hatch's. Jalayne is in charge of putting the parade together. Way to go Jay! The kids had a great time. We hung out at the park all day and watched the fireworks that night. We spent the night at Jalayne's house and then went to Angie's for breakfast and to celebrate her birthday. After we drove to Preston to see Grandma Merrill and then went back to Logan to hit up Locker 42 and get our Aggie gear for the new season. 

 We played the family Bingo and Braxton was one of the first ones to get a Bingo! Way to go boy! Taylor got his a few rounds later! They got great prizes and were super excited.

This summer we signed up for a free bowling league for the kids. They have loved every minute of bowling. Macall actually made it through two games. She usually gives up after the first game and just plays as we finish.

The girls have been loving puzzles lately and are getting really good at putting them together.

Spending a little time at the pool

 This sweet boy came and asked me if I would lay down with him. Heck yes! I miss snuggling with these big kids. 

Picnic lunch and Aquarium

We were so happy to have the boys home that we decided to grab some lunch before heading to the aquarium. We played at the park for a while but it was so hot. 

Taylor and Braxton went to Idaho so the girls got to play for a few days. We went to the park, In 'N Out, and to the movies with August and Boston. We had a great few days but those boys.

Taylor and Braxton went to Idaho Falls to spend the week with Grandpa and Grandma Hatch and their cousins. They had a great time! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Happy 4th of July

We started out the 4th of July this year at our ward breakfast. Some of my friends.

Sandra, Me, Kathy, Jenny, Megan, and Amber

 That evening we took the kids to the Bee's baseball game. It was a lot of fun but so so hot! At least we had seats in the shade. After the game was over they had a great firework show.

Bird Show at the Zoo

While the girls were in Idaho with Grandma and Papa Merrill, the boys and I met Justin at the zoo. It was really hot but we got to see the bird show that we have never seen before. They loved it. 

Lava Hot springs

We met Grandma and the girls at Lava Hot Springs. The kids loved the slides and were so brave. Beaxton went down the huge purple, fast one! So proud of them for being so brave.
