Boondocks 2011

It's time to try this again. I really enjoy reading so many of your blogs that you have inspired me to try it once again. I am not going to be intimidated by my lack of blogging knowledge but just do my best.

We are loving summer. I can't wait for the kids to get out of school. We have had a couple of fun weeks so far. I may try to catch up or I may just go forward. Yesterday we went to Boondocks for the first time. I wasn't sure what to expect but we had a great time (all 8 hours of it.) Here are a few of the highlights.

Boondocks June 2011

Go Karts

The boys loved the go karts. I think they went 5 times. Rex was not interested in driving but being a passenger. I even took a couple of turns around the track. A first for me.

around the track again.

Bumper Boats

They had these crazy bumper boats that would squirt water as you drove around the little pond. My boat broke right after we started and I ended up being a sitting duck for everybody to squirt. Chase finally pushed me to the edge and I left as soon as I could.

Rex ready for attack

Miniature Golf

There are two different courses which were really fun.

Waiting to attack the next hole.

Back to the Go Karts

Ready to go.

round 2

Air Hockey

While waiting for Laser Tag the boys played air hockey. The Laser Tag was lots of fun. The first time we played I was the high score. There were only 5 people playing but I will take the win.

Great Day!!!!!

Christmas 2010

Rex is a Cub Scout & Spring Flowers

We had some beautiful flowers in our garden this spring.

tulips - tulips - tulips


With Rex turning 8 he is officially a Cub Scout.

Rex all ready for his first Den Meeting

Our cute Wolf

Soccer can be dangerous

At soccer practice the other night Rex was going for a ball at the same time as a friend. They were focusing (heads down)on the ball and didn't see each other and there was a collision. Because Rex is the taller of the two boys he was the one to have his friend's head hit him in the cheek and eye. He was pretty miserable for several days but now that he is feeling better he is enjoying telling people about the accident and showing off his black eye.

Not the best picture but you get the idea.

Rex plays Baseball

Rex started playing baseball this spring. He has a wonderful coach and he is really enjoying the experience.

He looks great in in "Bees" Shirt

Ready to throw to first base for the out.

Crazy Hair Day 2010

Crazy Hair Day continues to come around each year.

I think the crazy faces help the look.

Sunday Pictures

We purchased some new clothes for Rex to wear to his Baptism but in true Rex fashion he didn't want to wear them. The Sunday after his baptism the Bishop has the children that are baptized come up to the pulpit to receive a Book Of Mormon. We were able to convince Rex that it would be fun to wear his new clothes. Here are a few shots as we are leaving for church. What handsome boys.

In order to get the smiling picture we had to have the crazy picture.
