Busy busy busy

What a busy few weeks our family has had! Let's see, we started off with Father's day with Mitch and Bonnie, follwed by Chet's 10th birthday. He had friends meet at the pool to swim and then have cupcakes. Then the next day Carie brought Brinley and Kolbi to stay for a few days. The kids had a blast with them! They are the sweetest girls and we loved having them here. I think thier parents were the only ones glad to have them home!! I drove them home Friday early as the boys had baseball tournaments in St. Anthony that weekend. We were able to stay with our good friends Mark and Jenny that night and had fun there. The boys played well and it was a good weekend. Last week Chet and Presley had swimming lessons and then we went back up to Tetonia for another ball tournament in the Valley. Tasha is here from Texas for a few weeks and we were able to see lots of family over the weekend as all of my sisters and brother were up and grandpa and grandma also came over for a dutch oven dinner. After the dinner we went to see Glenn Beck speak at the Huntsman springs golf course. He was just amazing! We were sitting right up front and there were tons of people there. He just really brought the feeling of how America was, what our forefathers had in mind and fought for and what we need to fight for as Americans. It just gave me more meaning for my fourth of July. We then were treated to an amazing fire works display. The music and shorts clips of video underneath the fire works was just so cool! What a great fourth!!! We will probably be up there again this weekend for the Beard reunion and then hopefully have some time off from running for a while! We will see I guess. Happy Independance day all and may God bless America!

May

I am thinking that May is getting to be as busy as the month of December! I have posted some pictures of the things that have been going on, but to name a few things, Presley had kindergarten registration, her dance recital, and she and Caleigh got booster and immunization shots. Bryer and Chet have been busy with baseball, scouts, and end of school things. They both made the all star teams for baseball, Bryer for majors, Chet for minors, so that was exciting! We will be traveling to St. Anthony and Teton so they will get to play against some old friends. They have one here in Salmon over fathers day weekend and Bryer had a tournament Friday and Saturday in Darby. His team lost their first, won their second and lost their third game. The weather was crappy Friday but sunny for Saturday and we all got a little bit red. Chet had tournaments here in salmon to end his regular season and then will start practices for all stars this week. Let's see I started work at Bertrams a few nights a week for some money, and throw in a few kittens to take care of mice around here and trying to plant and get a garden to grow with nonstop rain and we have had a very busy month!

The latest

So just a quick post, the weather has been awesome and between the sun and the rain we are looking pretty green here in Salmon!! It is so nice to see some color finally!!! We will be moving to a different rental next week. AHhh I hate moving! But can't wait because there is a huge garden spot all ready to till and plant! Can't wait to plant corn and things I've never been able to plant it Tetonia!! Hopefully weather cooperating I can plant next week! That's much more fun than moving! The kids have been sick throwing up all week so that has definately not been fun! So far David and I have avoided it but the week isn't over yet so we will see! The boys are busy playing baseball and we are just finishing up the leagues. So it is crazy at the Beard household!

Wrestling

The boys wrestled at Challis last night and did so well! Chet got third and Bryer second. It was really fun to watch them they are both doing awesome and Chet is really improving and getting into it!! If he loses the other guy has to work pretty hard to get him, and he is so cute when he wins. He is a really good sport win or loss I love it! We were going to go to Mackey today but got home so late last night and Chet wasn't feeling that great, David either so we passed it up, but they have a match here in Salmon next Saturday. Tanner and Trey were at Challis with the Hill boys and they all did so well too! Little Trey is so cute out there! Just a smilin the whole time! So cute. I guess I am a lone ranger today and tomarrow, David took the kids up to the Beard's for Mitch's birthday, so I am here workin' and holdin' down the fort. Not complaining though, it's kinda nice to have a break from the kids and hubby even though I love and miss them so much when they are gone. The weather has been so great and so springy, I love it!! David got a job here in Salmon that will carry us through the summer and keep him hopping in the winters as well. We are so greatful to have work though as it is hard to come by these days. Now the trick is to find a house as we had planned on being in Tetonia again this summer, and the river guides move into the house we are renting now in June. Hope to find something we can be in pretty permanantly and then we will just rent our house that is not likely to sell. Just hope we can find renters!!

What's going on?

I really am over due for an update on this blog! Can't believe February is almost over! Let's see, so Caleigh turned one on the 26th of Jan. She had a fun day, she walked, cut her first 2 teeth, and had birthday cake and presents all in one day! She really went for it! She is so sweet and growing so fast. She now walks everywhere and is starting to try and run. I guess it's more of a fast side step because she is afraid of falling and it's so cute! She has a very high pitched scream right now that she uses to voice her opinion, let you know what she wants, lets you know she is happy, etc. It's all in that scream. Very annoying and having a hard time with how to break that one. Very inconvenient when in a very quiet sacrament meeting and she decides she wants anything or sees anything interesting. We spend a lot of time in the hall. It will be nice when she can talk rather than scream. She has started to nod yes and shake no so that's a start! The boys are wrestling and have their first meet Friday. Bryer is doing hunters safety this week. He also has mastered the round-off back handspring and can also do round-off double back handspring on the spring floor. Presley is still enjoying dance and gymnastics as well as preschool. She keeps saying "Can't I just go everyday?!" All too soon she will be doing just that, and I am not sure I'm ready to have her in school full time yet. All the kids are growing and time is flying. It's really feeling like spring here and it is so nice, well, except for the rotten mud of course!
