i went to utah to pick up the husband. my plan was to pamper him and nurse him back to health but i ended up dragging him around to baseball games, bbq's, concerts, and pool parties. he was such a trooper.

       

so i have the cutest nieces and nephews in the whole world. i am probably super biased but its true. they're like my own. its weird. the twins just started t-ball (top two pix). kade is really in to it and runs his little heart out to first base. so awesome. jaycee thinks everything is a stage and decided to put a show on for us in the out field. typical. i dont know where she gets her moves but im pretty sure lady gaga has a lot to do with it. we are all in trouble;)  kacelyn pitches for her softball team and rocks it. she struck out so many girls. the other team didnt have a chance. ethan is also on some superstar league and we got to see them play in their finals tournament. it was so intense. ethan pretty much rocks at everything and their team is really good. it amazes me how young these boys are and how intense the competition is. they played until 1030pm. crazy. they won both their games. woo hoo.

i got to see joshua james perform at the muse with my sisters and bro and the husband. it was way chill and really small. so it was perfect. my sis and i remember seeing him in salt lake forever ago performing at a record shop with maybe five people there. crazy. also the twins learned how to ride without training wheels thanks to their momma. so we did a lot of riding. they are pretty much experts now, except i dont know how jaycee manages to wobble back and forth and still ride straight. so funny. the husband and i decided to be brave and take all my nieces and nephews and some of his nieces and nephew to the movie theater to see cars ll. there ended up being 16 kids. we filled most of the theater. luckily his brother and his wife, and sister came too. few. how does 19 and counting mom do it? crazy. i love being with family. its one of my favoritest things.
