Summer Fun!

Brook had her dance recital in June, where she danced to the song "Itsy bitsy yellow polka-dot bikini". She definately is a performer. We have to bribe her a little, but if you tell Brook that you will buy her a treat if she smiles and does her best... she will not let you down. While she was dancing she did not stop smiling and did a great job at remembering the whole dance. After it was over, she did not let us forget our part of the bargin. We love watching her dance.
Before our family reunion with Steve's family we met up with Angie and her kiddo's (Sister in-law and cousins) at the zoo. The girls had a great time.

Every tuesday evening and Saturday morning you will find Steve and I at the t-ball field. Brook plays for the city of Lehi and Braden plays for Saratoga Springs. Lately, the kids games have been overlapping, so we have had to split up. We have had a blast watching these kids learn about the game. For the first few games, all the kids on the field would run after "every" ball whether it was near them or not. Then they would tackle each other to see who would end up with the ball. Other kids would hit the ball and instead of running to base, they would run after their own ball, pick it up, and take it to the base with them. We have had quite a few laughs.
Braden is the youngest on his team. The cut-off date was the week of his 4th birthday, so he barley made it. He was a little nervous at first but it has not taken long for him to get comfortable. Although there are several times when he gets a little bored and will sit down on the field and start picking the grass right in the middle of the game. One time he was playing second base, he decided to take a break so he sat down on the base. The ball was hit near him but he didn't budge. The player at first ran to second... he still didn't budge. He was just enjoying the cushion I guess.
