This week has been a busy week. Here's whats been going on.....

Court has been very busy finishing the landscaping outside our house with his sister McKenzie's help. She is the one that designed everything for us. They did an awesome job.

He also finished the fence minus the gates

We also celebrated Reese's birthday and she had her first birthday party. She invited the kids in her primary class, her best friend Hunter and Aiden and because all of her cousins were here this week she was able to invite them. I think she had fun, we played games and rented a bounce house for the kids to jump in. I still cant believe she is 4, she is growing to fast.Thank you Sadie and Tatum for helping me with the party, they were really good helpers.

We also had all of Court's family here to celebrate his Grandparents 80 birthdays/60th wedding anniversary. We had lots of activities to keep us busy. But of course I forgot my camera to most of those so I'll have to see if I can get some pictures from my sister-in-laws before I can post any.

We went to the Bar J Wranglers with Court's mom and it was funny to see all those little girls all in love with the same cowboy.

Then of course we had the 4th of July parade and fireworks. Every year we go out to Court's Dad and Linda's house to light off fireworks in their pasture, and almost every year we have a Roman Candle accident. At least this year it wasn't Court. It's always a lot of fun to hang out and joke around with everyone.

Portland

Last week we had a girls trip to Portland with the girls and my sister to see my other sister and her family. We went on a hike up Silver Falls, went to the beach, swimming and ate so much that we each probably gained 10lbs. It was a lot of fun and the girls had a blast playing with their cousins. Be prepared for the overload of pictures.....

T-Ball

Well now that Soccer is over its on to T-ball. Reese has been very excited since we signed her up 2 months ago to play. And she was even more excited when we were able to go and pick up her shirt. Her team is the Gators which consists of all 3 year olds and 4 year olds. They are pretty cute to watch play.

Reese likes it so far but she has only played 1 game. As long as she is the catcher and gets to put the ball on the Tee or is batting she is happy. She's not a big fan of the outfield and tells me many times during the game that she doesn't need her mitt to catch the ball she can just use her hands.

Playing Catcher

She did good hitting the ball but we really need to work on the hand placement

Kindergarten Graduation

Tatum graduated from kindergarten last night, and we couldn't be more proud of her. She did such a good job in school and is so excited to start 1st grade.

Congratulations Tatum you did good.

I am so glad that she made such good friends this year. For Tatum it's not very hard for her to make new friends she is very friendly to other kids.

We did a car pool with a few kids from the neighborhood this year and here is the wild bunch. They may look quite but once you get them smooched in a little car it gets pretty crazy.

Soccer

This year was Tatum first year of soccer, and she has been loving every minute of it. She's pretty aggressive and goes right for the ball. So much in fact that at one game the ref stopped the game and told her and a couple of other girls on her team to start playing nice. Funny thing was that she didn't start it but she wanted to make sure she finnished it. Nobody pushes her or her friends around.

Tatum is the one going for the ball in the back.

1 against 3...GO TATUM!
