Summer's Over?!




I started back to school today and it was a little rough. I am ready to get it over with just not ready for all the studying again. The 2 boys and I were able to have a fun weekend just hanging out before our lives go back to a schedule. We went to the park, ate ice cream, and stayed up TOO late.....

Bridger has taken good care of me this summer, if I'm laying on the couch he never hesistated to pat my back for about 3 seconds. He never hesistates saying "If we can have candy, I will share with you." Of course I ALWAYS take him up on that offer.

Last night I was taking a bath and he came in, took off his pants and climbed up on the edge of the tub and said "Mom, let's talk while I dip my feet in the water." He was so cute; underwear, t-shirt and all.

He loves telling me funny stories and he tricks Jeremy into anything he wants and he knows he can get away with it from his dad. I love both my boys.....

He's growing up.....


Bridger starts preschool on Wednesday! He can tell you he goes on Fridays, Mondays, and Wednesdays in that order :) We got plenty of laughs at Wal-Mart last week as he strutted around with his spiderman backpack on. It's full of school supplies and he tells me everyday he wants to go. It makes me cry but I know he will have fun and love it. I even get to take him on the first day! I will let you know how it goes....

Uncle Eddie?

Nope, it's just Bridger. He was wearing a jersey top, plaid shorts, his napolean boots, and had a tube around his waist. For a minute I thought Uncle Eddie from Christmas Vacation was riding in my car but than I realized it was just my cute little boy, Bridger!

Only Bridger

Yesterday the 3 of us were out in the garage cleaning out the boat. Bridger has a bad habit of not looking where he is going. For example, tonight at Wal-Mart he was looking down an isle and ran into an empty cart. Yesterday he wasn't so lucky and ran into the prop on the back of the boat. It is very sharp and he cried instantly, I was sure he had gotten his eyeball. Luckily it was a 1/2 inch away, otherwise he might be blind in one eye. Today it is starting to turn black otherwise it is healing just fine!

Utah

Last week, My mom, Jewls and I decided to head to Utah with Bridger and Max. We were watching him while Shayla and Brig spent a few days in and around Yellowstone. The boys were great travelers, although Bridger had to pee about every 1-2 hours, thank goodness for empty water bottles :) It was so fun to see my grandparents, of course I sobbed a little when we left as I usually do. We got down there Wednesday night and went straight to Tim's parents house to see Morgan and her 3 little China girls. They had flown in about 3:00 that day back to the states from their 2 year stay in Shanghai. It was so fun to see them again. Tally and Bridger will get along great, little busters!
Thursday we spent the day hanging out at my grandparents house. Jewls and I went to the mall for a couple of hours but weren't really in the shopping mood. Instead we ate at P.F. Changs and later had snowies for dessert! On Friday we played outside with the Kuehne girls and went and watched my cousin Lindsee play soccer in 95* weather, boy it was hot! Friday night was the Gilbert (my mom's) family reunion, we went swimming, ate pizza and than had a talent show. Our family (as in my mom, Jewls, Morgan and her 3 girls and Bridger and I) sang "I am a Child of God" and than Tally and Adayla sang it in Chinese for everyone, it was super cute! Saturday morning we woke up and headed up Provo Canyon to hang out with everyone again before heading back to Gillette. It was a beautiful park and perfect for the boys to run around for a few hours before getting in the car for 8 hours. Here are a few pictures from the trip...
Bridger and Max 10 miles out of Gillette on the way down to Utah.....Below is a picture of my cousin Megan and Bridger, he is wearing a Wyoming Jersey for the simple reason we like to get an uproar out of all the BYU fans.....Bridger looks like he is choking Max, But really they are both laughing and Bridger is hugging him a little on the rough side.....

Tally is the best little smiler for any picture. She kept telling me the whole time we were down there "We came back to Amerikuh" It was so dang cute! Adayla would tell me that my Chinese is Bu Hao (not good) and we would both laugh. They both think its the coolest thing that they have their own Taxi (their car that they kept at Tim's parents house) here in America, they rode in taxi's the whole time in China. They also called me Sher fu, while we were driving a few places in Utah which means taxi driver in Chinese. We all had a good time giggling at their funny stories!

Another softball season, another injury (or 2)

We are back again for our 2nd softball season, although only about 5 players are the same as last year. We have played 4 games and won 3 of them! Wahoo, we are off to a much better start than last season. The first game Jeremy decided to slide even though he was wearing shorts and in the 3rd game I was playing center field when a guy hit a line drive, I backed up at first and than realized I should try and catch it without it taking a bounce. I guess I had my glove the wrong way as well, oops. I went down instantly thinking my knee cap had been shattered, luckily it wasn't. It has been almost 2 weeks and the bruise is finally disappearing even though I still do not have feeling in and around my knee, just a few damaged nerves I'm sure. Anyway, here are the results.....
