Hampton Court for Sale

we made an offer on the house at the bottom of our circle and they accepted it !?
great home but now we need to sell ours
oh my!
We want Greg and Jen and the boys to buy ours but they won't commit. Wouldn't Alec (and the girls) LOVE having those boys at the top of the hill! If you know of a Salt Lake family that is looking or thinking about it we'd love a great family in this home/neighborhood.

BEAR LAKE ... we are now fans of the KOA

We went to Bear Lake for a last hurrah before school. We heard the KOA there was good so we gave it a shot. We were mid week so I'm sure that added positive points for few people. Shauna used to joke about KOA's and our friend told us that as a child of a single mother they loved them but only went in the wee hours of the night to clean up in the bathrooms. We stayed in a Kabin and had a great time. Love kamping with a shower and tile bathroom floors. Kids loved the banana bikes. If anyone knows a source to buy these at a deal we want some.
We also had a ball at the actual Bear Lake. The water was more cold than I remembered, we loved the extremely shallow pools. Pyper really needed a bath after this weekend

Pickleville fun

Taylor said that was the best show she has ever seen - I'm sure it helped to have a fun & gorgeous cousin in the show. Thanks Haley for sharing with us. oh-extra bonus - Taylor signed up for tap this week.

A Hamster Problem - they can have babies every 3 weeks

Anna's girl hamsters, or so we were told, had babies about 3 weeks ago. One boy and one girl, or so we think. This morning Anna noticed all were huddled together, looked in and now there are more baby hamsters. It looks like 4 or 5. Hoopefully, this is the last set of babies. Anyone want a hamster? (baby or adult)

morning at the park

"I like baseball"

Alec practices setting up as much as hitting and catching.

He can even do the moves in slow motion

Set Up

Alec LOVES baseball He watches the Sandlot and pro games with dad and has all of the moves down. He taps home base with his bat, knocks dirt off his shoes and now he points to center field. Alec insists on running to 3rd base first and loves to slide into the pitchers mound
