4th of July In Cowtown - Try not to be jealous

Check it out y'all!! Brayden was chosen to be on the Little League All-Star team and got to ride in the Grantsville 4th of July parade. I am in love with this "parade entry" for many reasons:


1: I'm so proud of Brayden!

2: To heck with traditional wagon wheels, bring on the all-terrains

3: The horses hooves have been sprayed with glitter!

I have titled the following "parade entry"

COMMITTED to excellence in taxidermy

And finally... the crowning jewel and pride of this years Grantsville City 4th of July parade....behold

THE ABSTINANCE FLOAT

It may be hard to read but the float reads "Abstinence=Independence". This float was sponsored by the Tooele Teen Pregnancy Protection Team. And what would you think they were handing out along the parade route? These wonderful bracelets

It reads "True Love Waits"

The good news is that Shery, Quin and family came out to BBQ and see the parade.

Maddie helped Jensen stragically place stickers on his body.

And we rounded out the evening by going with Jen and her boys to the Bees game and watching the fireworks afterwards.

Woooo HOOOO!!! GOOD TIMES!!!!

MEMORY LANE

I got this from Nance Macedones' blog (a friend from Lehi) and thought it was cute and way more fun than tagging!


1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.


It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. I would love for everyone to play along. Don't be shy leave whatever memory you would like.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY

It's a little late, or a little early... which ever way you want to look at it. Here we have a fine picture of, no, not Brayden, but Brandon in 1981. How sweet are these two boys? I love them!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

I HATE BASEBALL

"I hate baseball". Words straight from Maddie's mouth!!! My worst nightmare come true!!! I am so sad that Maddie did not have a great experience this year! :( The sign up sheet said T-ball ages 5-6. And she being just barely 6 I signed her up for T-ball. Well first off, she hates hitting the ball off a tee. She is used to Brandon pitching to her. Secondly she was the only girl on the team, and thirdly, she was one of the tallest and probably oldest players on the team. All her friends in kindergarten signed up for girls fast pitch softball (ages 8 and under according to the sign up sheet). Which was coach pitch for the first half of the season and then girls pitching to each other the last part of the season.

She has pretty good form when fielding the ball, but if you'll look closely, the ball is by her foot, not in her glove.

I told her to slide at home, this is what I got. Beggars can't be choosers.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY
