a super fun amazing day

Baseball has been a pretty big deal around here lately, if you couldn't tell.  We've watched The Sandlot several times and the boys were shocked to find out that it had been filmed in Salt Lake.  So, one day (when Dad was home) we went searching  for where it was filmed.

Bosten even ran the bases.

Then we stopped at Mrs. Cavanaugh's chocolate factory and took a tour.

We thought it was a little boring, but the boys loved it...especially the sample part.  We bought a couple of treats after the tour, and they were fantastic too.

If that wasn't enough excitement for one day, the ice cream truck was in the neighborhood!  We jumped up and ran right out.   

We are loving summer!

a date and a party all on the same night

Kaden was invited to his baseball coach's house to celebrate their fun season.

They played baseball (duh), ate hot dogs, roasted marshmallows, watched a movie outside, and had some fun awards.  

Kaden got "King of the Plate" for fewest strikeouts this season.

So fun.

Kyle was one of the assistants, so he went too.

That meant Bosten and I went on a date.  He chose Red Robin.  

We went to the mall too.

lemonade

The kids have been wanting to do a lemonade stand all winter, and we promised that we'd do it once it was warm enough.  My sister and I had a garage/yard sale down at her house, so we figured we'd do it at the same time.  They were super excited to get started, but slow sales made for a long morning.

They probably drank more than they sold, but its all about the experience...right?!  

Plus, we got to check it off our summer bucket list.

summer swimming

We finally had the chance to do some summer swimming in Mimi and Papa's pool.  

Kaden said it was warm on the top, but freezing on the bottom.

Bosten could finally reach the bottom, so he felt like pretty big stuff.

We had a great time playing with some of our cousins.

league champs

Kaden's baseball team, the Phillies, went undefeated in the regular season and were seeded 1st in the league tournament.  He had games almost every night for a week.  They won the tournament, which was pretty dang exciting and fun!  Way to go, Philiies on an undefeated season and tournament!

Kyle was one of the assistants.

It was super exciting that they got trophies.

It was fun watching (well, except for the last game...it was nerve wracking!)

zoo

Last week the boys and I  went to the zoo.  We went first thing in the morning, so that it wouldn't be too hot or too crowded.  The train was back up and running, the lions were out, and the polar bear got up and personal.  It was a fun day!

I love these boys!

ready for summer

We are so excited that it's finally summer. 

Here's the gifts I did for the end of the year:

This one had dirty diet coke stuff...limes, diet coke and a bottle of coconut syrup.

Last day of school!

Some of the kids in Kaden's class decided to sign faces, rather than yearbooks.  I guess foreheads were Kaden's spot of choice, because there were several kids who looked just like this (hope it wasn't permanent marker!)  Goofs.  Kaden didn't let anyone sign his face.

Kaden, along with his teacher, Ms. Allred.  We LOVED her for so many reasons.

We celebrated the last day of school with root beer floats.

Dad had the weekend off, so we continued celebrating with an overnight trip to Park City.

It was a fun getaway, and we are so ready for summer!
