Boating Finally!

I was told not to ride on the back of the boat. Ryan promised no bums and to drive straight. That is why I am riding with Carter. I still enjoy boating but I really wish I could enjoy the ride on the back of the boat. Hopefully some day again.



Ryan wake boarding even with all the logs and limbs in the water and 55 degree water.



The second day we went with Cole's friend and Bret and his new family. Here is Ryan, Cole and Uncle Bret.



We have spent the last two day boating finally. This is one of Carter's favorite things to do on the boat. Listen to the music.



O.k. I forgot to take pictures of Kamden in her dance outfits but I got a couple of her hair. Maybe in a few weeks I will get some of her in her custom es.

So I thought this week was going to be a little slower paced but it didn't seems to happen that way. Everyday I had a little something to write and was to tired by the end of the day to blog. So I finally have a minute so I am blogging.

Monday Cole was still throwing up and not feeling well. So I spent the day cleaning the house. Ryan came home and thought we all needed to go see Incredible Hulk. So even though Cole wasn't feeling well. Cole just all the sudden was feeling o.k. Kamden and Carter fell asleep during the movie. Thank goodness. I thought it was a good movie just not for Kamden and Carter.


Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Cole had Scout Camp. Sinice Cole was sick I made him stay home on Tuesday. So we went and tried to pass off some scout things. We went and had a picnic in the park then we played disc golf. Cole loved it and Kamden enjoyed it too. Carter not so much. Then we headed over to the toys but Kamden wasn't behaving so we headed home. I also picked up some fabric at Joanne's for some baby blankets. Fabric was 1/2 for flannel.

Wednesday Cole went to Scout camp and I had an MRI and a echocardogram (SP). So Kamden and Carter hang out with mom and Kendall. Kamden stayed the night at mom's on Wednesday night. Ryan, Cole, Carter and I rode the bus to golf. We showed Cole had to ride the city bus. We also got him a phone and a bus pass. We are hoping to teach him some responsiblity. If he loses either one no golf this summer. Cole loses everything. He just doesn't pay attention and loses everything.

Thursday Cole rode the bus to golf. He did awsome I followed him. He got off where he was supouse to and he got home. I had Herceptin and Zometa in the morning. So mom and Kendall watched Kamden and Carter again. I was able to get the Herceptin and still make it to the church on time for Scout camp. I went to Scout Camp with Cole on Thursday afternoon. We went from 1pm to 6:30. Then Ryan came out with the kids and we had dinner together.

Friday Ryan got up and went to work at 2 am and then came home and said lets go boating. I couldn't believe it. I think it was because we hadn't had the boat out once yet this year. The water is still really cold and there is lots of things floating in the water still. So we went boating for a couple of hours an then went grocery shopping.

Saturday we went boating most of the day. Yah summer is here. The water just isn't warm enough yet. We went with Bret and his new family. We had a good time. We come in just before the weather got bad (rain and wind). Cole also had a birthday party at 6:30. We are all so tired. So I am off to bed.

Again another long blog. I am getting better. I thought about it every day I just didn't feel up to it. Maybe next week a little everyday.

Baseball, Dance Recital and more!

This is my problem almost every time I post. It has been so long because I have been so busy. But because we have been so busy a lot has happened. So there is a lot to post about. I know I am one that gives to much info. I am not good with words and I write to much info. But I keep reminding myself this is more of a journal so I will want to know this information and be able to remember later. It is also for updating family not here so I guess the journal wins out. Which means you get to much info. I wish I could be more of a daily blogger. Then the blogs would be short and sweet. A little everyday sound much better than a lot to read once in a while. Anyway I am still working on that.

The first week in June was busy. Cole's team took 6th in the tournament. They did so good. We are so proud of Cole and how hard he worked this year. He did so well at whatever the coaches asked of him. He had games and practice every night of that week but Friday. So Friday Cole had a friend over for a couple of days. We watched the Indian Jones movies, played baseball, watched Congfu Panda, played cards, went to grandma Bassett's to see great grandma Bassett. The boys had a fun few days. Cole has also been busy this week even with baseball over. Cole had his last week of school. His last day was Thursday. He passed the third grade and will be in fourth next year. I can't even believe he is almost 10 and will be in the fourth grade. I had a friend tell me that the end of next year is when the boys turn into little monsters. I am hoping my little angle will not do that. He is such an obedient kid and so loving to his mom. I hope he stays that way forever. I know that probably wont happen. A mom and hope can't she.

Kamden has also been busy. She had her preschool graduation last week and her last week of preschool. She has learned so much these last two years. Her teachers have done a great job of teaching her what she needs to know to be ready for kindergarten. The kids sang three songs at graduation and you could hear her above the other kids. She loves to sing! Kamden also enjoyed a birthday party on Saturday. She was just glad to not have to go to one more baseball game of Cole's.

Carter is doing such a good job with his potty training. I say he is potty trained. He is also getting so good at riding his bike and his sisters.

Last Sunday Ryan stayed home because he had be up all night throwing up and also having it come out the other end. He was sick for about 2 days.

Then on Monday we had great grandma and grandpa Bassett over for dinner and to go bowling for FHE. We had a great dinner and went bowling where Carter throw up twice. He spent the night in on our bathroom floor. He didn't feel good the next day but didn't throw up.

Tuesday everyone was feeling better but it was pouring down rain and so Ryan had no work. We spent all after noon at Dennis and Melanie's playing cards with grandma and grandpa.

Wednesday we spent all evening at Kamden's Dance Recital Dress Rehearsal. We were there until 9:45. Great Grandma and Grandpa and Melanie came to watch.

Thursday I went to the church storehouse and finished up our food storage. We are pretty much done. I can always find more things to can. But we are done with all the essentials. When Cole was 2 I did almost all our food storage.

Then on Friday night Kamden and Cole both throw up. The boys went camp to the stake Father and Sons. They had a great time. Kamden had her recital. So a friend of mine and Kamden and I went out to dinner and to watch Kamden and then out for ice cream. We didn't get home until 11 and we didn't get to bed until 2am. So we slept in a little on Saturday.

Then I spent most of the morning cleaning up all of Kamden's throw up all over the house. Saturday night we went to watch Kamden preform again. Grandma Schultz, Kendall the twins and Ryan and the boys all came. Kadmen did well. When we went to leave we were out of the auditorium but not quite out the door and Kamden throw up again. So I had a nice mess to clean up of the carpet there at Richland's auditorium.

I had a Doctor's visit on Wednesday and one with Dr. Kris on Thrusday. I am trying to decided what to say. I will post sometime soon about the visits on the other site. The good news is the cancer is gone. They are just going to do an MRI on Wednesday to make sure. There is a spot they are not sure about.

Busy Close to the school year.

We have had and will have a busy next few weeks. I think it is because everything is coming to an end. Kamden finished up her t-ball the Wenesday before Memorial Day. She loved playing baseball and has asked to play soccer again. We will see. She missed her end of the season party we were out of town. She was a little sad but glad to see the trophy she had gotten. Dance for Kamden is coming to an end. On Saturday we spent a few hours at Richland High School they were practicing for the recital on the 13th and 14th. Her new dance class only does one big preformance at the end of the year. That is the only thing I really don't like about this place is they don't get to preform more than the once. She is excited to get up on stage with her custome on. She has a few more practices until the big two nights. So she is almost done but still has some practices which add to the busyness.

Cole has been a little busy. He has been having scouts and piano along with all of his baseball practices and games. Cole had his last game of regular season on Saturday. They were in 7th place out of 14 teams I think. Not bad but the funny thing is they beat the better teams and lost to some of the not so good teams. Anyway yesterday (Monday) they started their tournament so we will see how they do. They won last night so they play again Wednesday night,Friday and Saturday and he has practice Tuesday and Thursday. Cole played catcher the whole game. He is the best catcher they have. He loves it but he also loves some of the other postitions. So he was a little sad to not be able to play them. He does so good at catcher but he is not really built to be a catcher. Ryan would like to see him play first or third. He does play there once in a while but mostly pitcher and catcher. Cole's team doesn't have alot of really good players so he and a few of the kids try to cover everything. You really need 9 good baseball players to make a good team. We asked Cole if he wanted to play football or soccer this fall which actually starts in August. We reminded him is he plays that will cut out boating. He decided that he didn't want to play either he wants to boat. So we are goin to have 6 months or very close to six months of no sports. Wow we haven't had that in a very long time. I love watching the kids play sports but it will be a nice break. Kamden will still have dance that starts in Septemeber. But wow a break.

Carter I don't know if I have already posted this but he is potty trained. We put a diaper on him at night just in case. Most nights he doesn't wet but once in a while he does. He and Kamden had a good time at the ball game last night. Carter pulled down his pants and peed out in the grass Then Kamden was running and her skirt fell down and then she came over to me and showed me how it fell down. One of those moments that are embressing but funny when they aren't your children.
