This one is for you Amanda :-)

Yesterday I had a friend say to me "When are you going to update your blog?" I know it's long over do, so here you go Amanda!

We have been so busy the last few months. The boys are both playing baseball, (up until recently). That has been taking up 6 nights a week. Kody is playing on city league team, He has been having a hard time with it because he doesn't have the best coach. ( I would have to agree because he doesn't even show up to all the games.) He has been playing shortstop, pitcher and catcher. It sure is weird to see him behind the plate. He has never played catcher a day in his life! But he does a great job at whatever position he is playing. Last Wednesday at practice, a kid ran into him while running the bases and broke Kody's arm. He has been so bummed that baseball season is over for him. I admit, I'm a little bummed too but, also relieved. I love watching him play baseball. He is such a good athlete. Kody finished the 7th grade with another 4.0. ( I wonder where he gets his brains from? His dad, maybe). Hopefully he will get his cast off in July and maybe he will feel like he will get some sort of summer. I told him I'm going to wrap him up in bubble wrap because this is is 5th broken bone. He has had 3 broken arms and 2 broken legs. What am I going to do with this kid???
Brady is playing on a super league baseball team. At first I was a little nervous about him playing for such a competive league, But it has turned out really good. He plays in either Salem, Spahish Fork, Aline and Payson on Monday nights, then in tournaments on the holiday weekends. Memorial weekend was his first tournament and they played great even though they lost. He plays first base, shortstop and catcher. He has a great coach and we are looking forward to him playing on this team for the next few years. Brady also turned 8 in May. He got baptized yesterday. We are so proud of him for making the choice to be baptized. He is such a good kid. Thanks to all of you who shared this special day with us. We love you all! Brady finished the 2nd grade. He did awesome in all of his classes and is so excited to go to 3rd grade.
Grayce finished kindergarten and is sad that she doesn't get to see her teacher anymore. She had an end of year program. It was so cute. She read a book to all the parents and did such a great job. She is such a great reader. She also had a gymnastics meet for the parents. She also did a great job in that. She does cartwheels every where she goes whether it's at church, the grocery store, the library, or our family room floor. It's amazing how she catches on so fast to all the new things they teach her. She is looking forward to doing more gymnastics over the summer. Grayce turned 6 in April. She had a bowling party with all of her friends. They had so much fun.
Libby just gets dragged around everywhere we go. She is such a trooper! She is still busy as ever and makes us laugh everyday. Yesterday she didn't want her hair done and I said, "Libby, somtimes I think you were meant to be a boy". And the tears started to fall. She said she was a "girl". I couldn't help but laugh at her and yes, she never wants her hair done. I'm lucky to get it combed. She has started to love to sing. It is so cute when she sings " You are my sunshine".
We just love her death!
Josh and I are doing great! We both run here and there and sometimes in opposite directions, trying to get the kids where they need to be. We are both exausted by the end of they day but, it is totally worth it. Josh isn't riding as much as he would like, but maybe when baseball is over with then he will have a few free nights. We have had a lot of company the last few weekends. We have had fun spending time with cousins. Next weekend....it's their turn to have us at their house!

P.S. I hope you enjoyed the update Amanda. I will try and do better just for you!!
