Gone Country with Lots of Laughs

OK, so I was all ready country, but last night Jared, Rikki, Cassie (my sisters) and I went to see Toby Keith and Trace Atkins. We had a lot of fun, and the concert was good, but I think the best part of the night was people watching, it amazes me what people wear and I'm guessing they think they look good. But the one decision that we made is next time we are going to make a red neck bingo game. With a few of the following, but not limited to: skullets, mullets, femulets, camo, no shirt, denim shirts with the sleeves ripped off, the coolest motorcycle jacket, and the not so coolest. The best/worst sayings on shirts, matching outfits, awesome hats I am sure you get the idea and you have probably all seen them or at least no what I am talking about!!!

JUST LIFE

I wish life would slow down just a little bit. Either that or my feet need to move as fast as my mind. Courtney is starting Jr. high in a week. She is growing up so fast. She participates in a 4h class and made a skirt for the county fair, it is cute and she won a high blue ribbon for it. This means that it will be at the state fair in September. Wow! I guess that means we are going to the state fair.

This summer has flown by, Zach had baseball until the second to last week in July and that is what we did almost every night. It sure was a fun time, and I do enjoy the game a lot more, I even watched part of the Major league baseball All stars game, which is a huge stretch for me I used to think it was pretty boring, who knew a little league team could change my mind.

We went to the condo with Jared's family again this year I guess you could call that our Stoker reunion. We also spent some time with the Olson side doing some activities around Salt Lake.

I also started working from home, just one day a week, doing some computer work for a woman in my parents ward. I used to work for her about 6 years ago, give or take a year or two. She needed some help and since we had to buy Jared a new car, I also needed to help. It has been going pretty well and isn't hard, I have just had to get used to sitting in front of a computer. I don't know how people do it everyday for a living. CRAZY!

Best Summer day Ever!

This is on happy little dude!
My kids have a favorite song by Brad Paisley "International Harvester". Which they all love to sing at the top of their lungs. This combined with Tyler's love for any kind of large equipment, Along with an Uncle who understands these things, made riding in an International about the coolest thing ever for one little boy!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

The best looking guy on the team. I might be a little biased.

One of the guys on the team, his family owns this bus, and they took them to a few of the games, the best part about it was when the other team would see it rolling in and complain to their coaches about wanting them to rent a bus. "No fair coach, their coach rented them a bus, when are you going to rent us a bus!"

Run Zach run!!!

This season was amazing, we (by we I mean Zach of coarse!) had a great season, great coaches, great players and great parents! Zach got to play out field and second the most but he also pitched 2 innings, played third and shortstop where he even got a double play. His team finished the season and the tournament in 3rd place, WAY TO GO PADRES and WAY TO GO SMACK!
