Garden

Well we got a lot of help this year with our garden... as you can tell most of it was from Brady, who would much rather swing in the tree And Beckett who has the watering down pat...

Then there are those of us who do all the work,

like Brooklyn. When she wants to be she is a darn good little worker. She (they) are saving up money for, well it started out to be for a Wii, but I changed their minds to get a puppy and they might just keep on saving till they have enough for a pony, she (they) have like 150 saved up and Chas said he would match whatever they have, so by the time we move out of town, they will have enough for a pony. Now just to convince Chas to pay for hay...

Chas and Verl hard at work, these tomato thingy's worked awesome!!

And I am the boss, ohhhh but it's gonna look so purty!

Brady's birthday

Man I love this little boy, although he is not so little anymore. With both of my older kids there has been one day when I have realized that they are getting bigger and for some reason it has been one day when I am holding their hand and walking to school, all of a sudden their little hands are not so little anymore and they feel just a bit different than they used to. It is a sad day, but exciting at the same time. And here I am writing this late at night and bawling because they are growing so fast.
Here are some fun things about Brady:
1.He likes to know what is on the schedule of things to do that day, everyday, he wakes up and asks, "Mom what are we gonna do today?"
2. He is the PICKIEST eater! He won't eat hardly any vegetables at all.
3. He loves to play ball nd wants to be like his Dad, this morning the first thing he asked me was, "Mom what was Dad's baseball team name?"
4. He tells everyone he is named after TomBrady the football player. (Which is not true although that is how I convinced Chas it wasn't a bad name.)
5. And he tells everyone that Beckett is named after Josh Beckett and looks at them like they are dumb if they don't know who that is...... you know the baseball player who playsfo the Red Sox? Ya, he had to fill me in on that one too.
6. He doesn't like to sing, and definitely won't if you ask him too.
7. He LOVES to leave notes around for people to find
8. He ALWAYS says thank you for dinner, he never forgets, which is funny considering #2, so he doesn't usually eat a lot of it!!
ANyway we love you Brady!

May-Visit from the Hutchins and Father- Son outing

These are totally out of order, oh well I am too tired to try an figure out how to chang them around. But here are some pictures took at the Father Son outing. They had a great time, I am glad the Mother Daughter is later in the year, I'll do camping without snow thank you!

May was a fun month. It started off with a visit from Chas' parents they are always so good to help with projects when they come. We had a great visit with them and wished they lived closer. We are soooo excited to see them again in a couple of weeks. Then of course is the long awaited Father-Son outing... Brady waiting in the car for Dad,

and then there is Beckett also waiting...

Before the boys left we let Brady open one of his birthday presents early so he could take it with them on their campout and try it out. Sling shot, thanks UncleThomas for introducing this to Brady! He LOVES it!

The two younger ones and I went with Brady and his class on a field trip to the library, we had a fun walk and even got to stop in at Chas' office to say hi.

Here is Chas and his Dad working on siding the shed and Dixie and I are (of course) working hard in the background!

Baseball

Well I have LOVED watching the kids play baseball this year, they are getting old enough where it is fun to watch them. They have improved a lot and I love that they love to play. Brady practices ALL the time, if he is outside he is throwing the ball on the roof and then trying to hit it or catch it. We have outgrown our backyard, as they can now hit it over the fence and into the neighbors backyard, time to move out of town I guess!

Happy Birthday!!!

My Mom and sisters are putting together a book for my grandma's 90th birthday which is today, hence all of the family photos that have randomly been put on here. Happy Birthday grandma!!! We love you!!!

Our long....awaited trip

Brady's Presentation

Brady had to do a presentation at school about a Giant Animal of his choice he choose the Rhinoceros, he did a pretty good job, I thought. He was a bit nervous, but did great!

More haircuts and a present

I got Chas and I some tickets to go down to a BYU game for our anniversary this year, here he is opening the gift! Yep folks, that is about as much enthusiasm as you get around here!
My Mom calls these the Hutchins haircuts, must be that time of year again! Everyone is sick of the long hair, and warmer days are coming......hopefully! He has the blondest hair!! Looks a lot like Chas' baby pictures.
Look at that shaggy boy!! Oh and did I mention that this kid HATES haircuts, oh yes!!! IT's a screaming, fighting, squeezing his head again my chest, good time around here, just ask my poor visiting teachers who came in the middle of one. So from now on when we do them, it's gonna be short so I don't have to do it again for as long as I can put it off!

Random pictures

Here is Brooklyn before we cut her beautiful long locks, it is not too short, but we did chop a couple of inches off.Emree being goofy

Nice tongue there buddy. He loves to stick it out, especially when he is concentrating.
