Crazy Phillips Momma

These pictures will justify why I have not posted for a month and a half. This is our typical summer. Running and more running.

Brandon playing his last year of t-ball. Yeah.

Brandon at the British soccer camp. It was so much fun to see the kids listen to someone with such a funny accent. Brandon's coach was Coach J.

Josh's last regular season baseball game. Josh had a lot of his friends on the team.
Then we started all-star baseball. We had a lot of fun doing this. It is quite a commitment. It took up 5 of our weekends this summer and alot of practices during the week. We had a great time with all the kids and their parents. We were lucky and had a really great coach and lots of great kids. We went to tournaments in St. Anthony, Jackson Hole, Soda Springs, Montpelier and we also had a tournament in Teton Valley over the 4th. Josh played short stop, and 2nd at the beginning and then ended up being the catcher for the last three tournaments. He caught every game but about three in those last three. He is a really tough catcher. I think it's from all the pipe moving. He can throw a mean ball to 2nd. He is also really tough at home. He got some good throws to home and tagged some kids at home to save some runs. We were really proud of him.

Swimming lessons in Ashton. Everybody, this is a great little outdoor pool with really great teachers. We love going here.





Brandon, Josh, and our neighbor Dakota on the slip n slide.



Over the 4th of July weekend my brother Kaleb had his baby blessed in Logan, Utah. All of my brothers and sister were there except for Dave. All of the cousins were together and we got some cute ones of my mom and dad's grandkids. We had a great time and it was really fun to all be together.




Brandon having a birthday party in Soda Springs at one of Josh's many all-star baseball games.

Brandon getting to open up his presents at a kind of nasty hotel in Soda Springs, Idaho.
Brandons second birthday party at our home with all his friends.




Very Very exciting day at the Phillips home. The very first tooth is lost, and the tooth fairy came that night. Lucky kid. $4 for the first tooth, and then it goes dramatically down.




And this good lookin kid is Dyllan. He has been working for his dad all summer, and really feels jipped in the fun dept. He worked really hard and moved alot of pipe for his grandpa. We are super proud of him. If he wouldn't have gotten up in the mornings to move pipe, his mom would have had to . And isn't that a scarey thought.
Will post more soon.

Wow! You have been crazy busy! Looks like you've been having LOTS of fun. You are such a great mom to support your boys in all those great activities, that will be worth a lot to them one day! Those are cute pictures of all your parent's grandkids. And I'm so glad Brandon had a great birthday! What a lucky boy to have two parties. He looks so happy in the photos. So fun!

Jenny - love the update. Isn't summer the best!! And you know it has to be crazy enough that we actually can maybe be ready to start school. Shane loved the party, as you can tell by the pics. I think he must be telling Brandon what he gave him, instead of just letting him find out. Isn't it great to be a kid!!
