I am so far behind that I don't even know where to start. So much has happened since my last post, State Track for Bailey, Graduation for Sierra, Freezing Fourth of July, Baseball for Nati, Tee Ball for Kidus and swim lessons for both boys. Summer is flying by and the kids will be back in school soon! We only have a month, they start August 24th. I will only post a few pictures of our spring and summer and hope that I can stay caught up from now on.
Our spring was very busy with Bailey competing in track her sophmore year. She had a great season and even broke the school record for the 400 meter. She placed in the top 8 in 3 events at the state meet. Grandma, grandpa, aunt Karla and cousins, Brittnee and Jenner came to cheer her on. We all had a great time and are so proud of Bailey!!
We were also preparing for graduation for Sierra. We had a very nice reception for her the day after her ceremony and all of my family was able to attend. It was a very special time and unbelievable that my baby girl could be graduating from high school. Sierra has planned to attend the Aveda Institute in Denver starting in September. She has spent a good portion of her summer in Yuma with her dad and will be participating in the Yuma County Fair this next weekend. 
Nati played his first American baseball this summer. He is such a natural athlete that no matter what he tries for a sport he is very good at it! He loved the kids on the team and his favorite position was catcher.
Kidus played tee ball this summer also. He really enjoyed it and we cannot believe how strong he has gotten in just one year. He could not even pedal a bike a year ago.
A visit from grandma and grandpa Caley! They came all that way to spend a week with us! We had a great time and I think they really enjoyed the boys! Also, HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY VIRGINIA on July 23rd. We love you!
We took the boys fishing this last weekend up to Snowy Range. We started at the Huck Finn Derby at Laprele Park in Laramie and after not catching a thing for an entire hour in a "stocked" pond and 500 kids with poles and fishing hooks flying everywhere we decided to leave. We drove to the Snowy Range in less than an hour from our house and had a wonderful time. It rained and was a little chilly but it doesn't matter when you finally catch your FIRST FISH!! Nati was so excited!! He kept saying "I am a lucky boy - it is my lucky day!" It puts life back into perspective when you see such happiness from such a simple thing! We all need to step back and enjoy life a little more! Thanks Nati for the reminder.
