Last Day of School at the Pool

Yesday was the last day of school. Zach did not go, so I got a pitcure of him as he was heading off to Seven Peaks with some of his Track buddies. I took the day off to spend with him. But as you can see he was gone most of the day. I do have to say that he is a great kid and got up and made me french toast. It was Yummy. I cant believe that he is thur his first year of Jr. High. He did really well this year. He made some great friends, joined the track team and learned what it was like to have real HOMEWORK!!!!

Also, last night he was invited to his first real PARTY. His friend Brandon had what I would call a "Hanging out" party. When I dropped him off and asked when I needed to come back, I was expecting 2 or so hours. Nope 4-5 hours for this party. WOW my boy is growing up.

Now summer is here and he will be busy with mowing lawns, hanging out at the pool and camping trips with the scouts. Zach we love you lots and are VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!!

A New Coke Commercial

Last weekend Liz, Chris and Little Max was here. Sunday afternoon we were outside enjoying a nice meal. This is what we got on the camera. We think we should send it to Coke and see if they want to use it as a new commercial.
Ignore all the talking until the very end. That is the best part. Sorry that it is sideways, but you will still think it is cute. (Does anyone know how to rotate this?)

When Abby was a baby, Scott gave her a taste of Pepsi and called it bubble juice. So now we have taught Max what Bubble Juice really is. As you can see he really enjoyed it.

This last weekend the scouts headed out for a campout. They headed to 9 Mile Canyon down by Price. They had a BALL despite all the rain and mud!!!

Zach and his cousin Carter.
Hole in the Rock or is that a head in a rock.

Here is some of the cool graphics that they all got to see.

With all the rain and the clay dirt down there. This is what my car looked like. We are still seeing dried clay clumps falling from the bottom of the car. Will my car ever be the same? Ihave to say that our ward has a great group of boys in our troop. Jason said that they all got along and really enjoyed all the little hikes that they went on. Plus the mud, but what boy doesnt like mud.

Zach Gets His LIFE!!!!!

April 26,2009

At our last Court of Honor Zach received his LIFE. We are so PROUD of him. He has worked very hard this last year gettting to this point. Now his Eagle. He is going to take his time a little bit because he wants he Grandparents that are on a mission to be here for his project. KEEP up the great work Zach.

The scout committe started a "TRAVELING TROPHY" for the boys. Since Jason is the YM Pres. he thought that our Court of Honors need a little bit of change. So he made this trophy to pass along this next year. So guess who the first winner was. Yep you guess it. ZACH. It is kind of funny because he helped his dad make this. So he now has 3 months to plan a service project. He will report on it at the next Court of Honor.

ZACH THE MAN

I have to say that I am the PROUDEST MOM EVER!!!!! Let me give you a little background. Last weekend Zach came to me and said that he wanted to join track & field at the Jr High and do the shot put. I was a little worried because I knew that track had been going on for about 2 weeks. I told him if the coach said it was O.K. that I would support him. So Monday his cousin Abby took him into the coach. He said to fill out some papers and pay his fee and he could start practice as soon as that was all taken care of. So yesterday was his first day of practice. He loved every minute of it. Then today was his first meet. So here are some pictures of him during his event.

After his event we sat there for the rest of the meet cheering on his cousin and several of his friends while they participated in their events. It was getting close to the end of the meet and they still had not announced the results of Zach's event. So we stuck around for the finally annoucement!!!

You are looking at the final shot ball of Zach's event. HE TOOK 3rd place. I couldnt beleive it. As they were announcing the results, I kept telling him it was O.K. if he did not place it was his first event. But then they announced that he came in 3rd place. Of course everyone was really excited for him and alot of his team came up and gave him high 5's and of course mom cried. His 3 measurements were. 19 ft 2 inches, 17 ft and 19 ft. As a mom not knowing anything about shot put I thought these were pretty good measurements. Well I guess I did know a little bit. What is even funnier is that alot of the boys that did not place are much bigger and look alot stronger then Zach. But I know it is those Tolman shoulders that helped him throw that 10 lbs ball. So as you can that is why I am a very proud mom. Congrats to our neighbor Leah, she came in 2nd place for the 7th grade girls.

Then of course I have to say a big HORRAY to my Abby. She did great. This is her in the 400 meter relay. She KICKED BUTT!!! Her relay came in first in their heat. I dont know what the over all results were. So for those of you that know Abby will have to see if Debi post anything about her day. We have a friend that is the track coach for UVU and he is going to help the kids during spring break get even better. So watch out world here come Zach and Abby to take you all down at our next meet.

I KNOW, I KNOW

Life once again is crazy..... I had two extra people and 2 extra dogs in our home for 3 weeks. My sister Liz and little Max were here for a visit. It was fun having them here and they will be back in June.

Here are a couple of things that happened the last month.

This is no order. I still have not figured out how to get my pitcures to load in order or how to move them around. Does anyone what to give me a blog lesson?

We went to the Draper Temple Open House on a Friday night. Here are the boys. It was way past Max's bedtime, but he did great.

Zach and his Aunt Liz. She loves her Zach Man.

Max got a haircut. As you can tell he needed on in the worst way. I made an appointment with my girl that does my hair. She did a great job.

Now he looks like a "Little Boy" Isn't he HANDSOME!!!!

I have more pics, but have not downloaded them off my camera. I will post laster. I PROMISE!!

Happy Valentines Day

I was in Denver for Valentines Day. No I was not with my sweet husband, but he is my number one VALENTINE!!!!

Chris took us all out for a great dinner at a steak house. It was GREAT!!!

So here is my date for Valentines.



My little Max. He was the perfect date, except he got tired by dessert. I told him on the way home he was a great date, but he should not make it a habit to have his dad pay for his dates.

Mom and Berney. My mom had surgery two days later. So this was her last good meal for a couple of days. Glad to report she is doing AWESOME!! We love you Mom & Berney

Our Valentine Host and Hostess. Chris and Liz. Thanks again for a great evening.
