Spring Baseball 2013

Austin's little league team played in a spring baseball league.  It's always fun to watch the boys play and see how far they've come since the year before.  They're a good bunch of kids and played hard.

Leah and Halle were good company for each other during the games.  Thank goodness for friends and playgrounds:)

 Austin improved a lot this year.  Got a few good pics of him batting.  

 Austin really enjoyed catching. He also pitched a few games and played second base.  

Kindergarten & Fourth grade graduations!

Graduations, graduations! I sure don't remember there being so many graduations back in the good ol' days! Tate graduated from Kindergarten and is heading to the Elementary School, and Austin graduated from 4th grade and is heading to the big Middle School. Crazy!!

Tate had Mrs. Hare for Kindergarten, same teacher Austin had.  He loved every minute of it! 

 Halle wanted in on the action too, Tate will miss Kindergarten and Mrs. Hare!]

 Tate and some of his buddies before graduation.  

Karson Nielson (maybe, I can't tell the twins apart), Kage Bunker, Cash Nielson (again....maybe), Daxton Bliss, Pace Mullen, Tate, and Sam Walker

 Austin graduated from the big 4th grade! Kinda sad that him and Tate will never be in the same school, but I guess Austin can teach Tate the in's and out's of each school:)

Austin and his cousin Karsan. They're good friends and have a lot of fun together.  

We finally got them to act like they like each other:)

Soccer 2013

It was so fun watching the boys play soccer this year. For the most part the weather was nice, which is a really big deal!!!

Soccer is way more fun to watch as they get older and actually know what they're doing! Austin has improved and had a great time playing this year.  They had a fun team and always had such a fun time. 

 This is what Halle did during a couple of Austin's soccer games....sometimes it's just easier to let her wear whatever she wants than to fight it. 

 Below is Austin diving or something....I cut off his head but thought it was a funny picture:)

5 year olds playing soccer is pretty fun to watch too....lots of herd ball, lots of sitting on the ground, and a few tears here and there. 

This is Tate playing goalie.....way to be ready for some action buddy!

 Tate and his best buddy Cy. Great job boys!!!

Easter Sunday 2013

Got some fun pics of the kids on Easter Sunday. Sibling love:)

 Got a super cute picture of Halle and her Daddy too. 

 Found lots of random pictures that needed to be posted! 

Halle is pretty proud of her glasses she got for Easter, showing them off at the soccer games.

Oh Tate the Great.  He's always keeping us laughing.  Had a little crash on the bike that resulted in a fat lip.  And this face he's pulling makes it even better:)

We visited Grandma Topham's grave on Memorial Day weekend. Crazy that it's been a year since she passed away.  There were lots of pretty flowers around her grave.  

Sleeping out in the family room and watching a movie is a Saturday night tradition at our house.  Halle has gotten old enough to join the tradition and she doesn't ever wanna miss out.  She usually stays awake to watch the whole movie and the boys zonk out quick.  She must have been pretty tired this night!

It's so nice to have the Droubay's living across the street. Cy and Tate are only a few months apart, and Lottie and Halle are just a few months apart.  It's nice to have friends you can run across the street to play with.  

Halle is finally brave enough to go play at Lottie's house and they had some great fun dressing up.  

Halle moved to the big girl bed recently to make some room for the new baby and she loves it!! Thinks she's pretty big:)

Halle loves to play with my hair stuff, especially while I'm doing my hair.  She found my hair bands that are kinda tight and put them all on at once.  Mushed her face all up:)

Halle also likes to play kitchen with my messy utensil drawer.  You can find some real treasures in there sometimes!!
