Beckem Braces and Tickle Fish Island

This cute boy got his braces on

I was watching the McMillians kids one day so we went to the aquarium in Layton.  The girls call it “tickle fish island” because at the end of the aquarium there is a spot you can put your hands in the water and fish come and eat your dead skin cells off.  It makes me want to throw up thinking about it but the kids loved it.  I love making memories together with my sisters family.  They feel like my kids more than my nieces and nephew :) 

This girls LOVES to pose. . . She was cracking me up!!

Took the fishing boat out for some fun at Deer Creek Reservoir

Last Day of School 2023

Oakley has decided to go to Bear River next year :( Kyson is going to miss her SO MUCH at school, but I have no doubt these two will stay best friends for life.  We sure do love Oakley so much!!  They have been best friends since 6th grade :) 

Tegan skipped school to ride his dirt bike so I thought it was only fitting to get this picture of him :). 

 

End of the Sports Season and Fun Times

Best little buddies

Beckem played for Willard rec this year and enjoyed pitching.  He ended up winning the MVP award for his team.

Emmy is a cute Down syndrome girl in Beckems grade.  She LOVES Beckem and Beckem is always so sweet to her.  This is a picture of Beckem with Emmy and his girlfriend Sadie.  Emmy always argues with Sadie who’s Beckems real girlfriend.  Ha ha I love the huge hearts of these cute kids!!  

Happy Birthday Roslyn!! 

After opening presents, the kids went out to play and this happened to Mae’s head.  I brought her back to my house and cleaned out her wound and glued it back together.  I love these girls so much!! 

I love that grandma is always a good sport and plays fun games with the boys 

I am so sad that Tegan’s baseball season is coming to an end.  They can’t play after 9th grade, but we fudged a little bit and they let him play ONE more year. . . He LOVED his coach Chris and was so grateful for her great coaching skills.  Tegan has been so fun to watch grow and progress with his pitching skills.  He is so talented!!  

Beckem won 1st place in the Behive Mile, they had them get together to get their medals and to get a picture for the Brigham City news paper.  Such a fun experience. 

We love these fans that are there to cheer our boys on in their sports.  

Kam has been such a GREAT coach.  Boden has decided to give up soccer to do sparring and Kam had a really hard time saying goodbye to her soccer all star.  She has been great to work with him and we have loved having her as a coach.  

End of baseball season on Kam’s team as well.  It’s been a fun growth opportunity, but Boden has decided he doesn’t want to play baseball anymore.  He wants to grow in Tae Kwando and Sparring.  We are going to miss the team, but I am a huge believer in letting my boys choose their journey.  I don’t want them doing something they don’t love to do.  I love that my boys are so athletic and can do anything they put their mind to.  Here’s to the next chapter. . . 

This was Kyson’s first year playing Lacrosse and he loved it.  It’s been a learning curve for us to learn the sport, but it’s been SO FUN to watch!!
