Summer Time Fun

I cannot beleive that summer timeis coming to an end!! It has gone by so fast!! It really has been a great summer!! It started with Quading out at Grandpa myrons land!! We had a great time!!! Then it was on with summer games! I was able coach Briggs soccer team with another person.  Both are kids tryed out but there was only going to be one coach! I knew that Briggs was not going to make the team he as he was only able to make it to one tryout! I really think that tryouts at 9yrs old are crazy!!! These were all good soccer players! So I stepped up to coach!! It was fun to be with Briggs. He is a great kid! THe kids played hard and did really well they came in 5th! The next event was swimming! Briggs and Nyla were both in this event. Swimming 4 times! Nyla placed 1st in 25m backstorke but was DQ at the end because she turned over to touch the wall!! Briggs made it to the finals in all of his events! He thought he lost and didnt want to swim again, but he came 2nd in 25m back stroke 4 in 50m front crawl and 5th in breast stroke!! The next day he placed 3rd in 50m back crawl!! 

Trev had YMs camp and Briggs had football/basketball camp and ended up getting stitches! 7 right above his eyebrow. His youth leader got him with his cleat when Briggs was helping deomndtrate something! We went to Calaway Park with Trev's family and had a great time!! The kids loved going there!! We were able to go out to Magrath to the slip and slide there a couple of times!! That was always a lot of fun!!! We went Rafting a couple of times with friends and Grandma Butler down the St. Mary river!! It was great!! We had a crazy Storm!! It was almost like a tornado!! IT was really scary! Our house got hail damage and it wrecked our basketball hoop and trampoline! We Went Camping with Grandma Anderson in Kalispell for a week! That was alot of fun and had great weather! We went rafting 3x once with the Walburger family, once with the Heggie family and once with Grandma and Grandpa! It was a lot of fun and we saw some pretty secenery and we even saw a bear!! This scared Benson BIG TIME! Trev went fishing while I took the kids swimming and we went shopping and to the waterslides! Such a great time!! We came home for a week went boating with some friends and the kids tried tubbing and knee boarding they had a great time! We went swimming in stirling and henderson and peoples backyard pools. We went out to Wallys beach and to some parks!! We had dentist appts, and eye appts! And then we went again to Kalispell staying in our time share! We went rafting again with all of the wilde family (Chelsie Lindsays family) it was fun to be with them. Then the next day we were invitted to go boating with Hunter and Carol Heggie and the Ormanstons were there as well.  It was so FUN!! I am thankful my kids get to spend time with these poeple to be able to do such fun things!! 

It has been nice to just be us as a family! We havent really had any playdates or alot of outings with other people. I really feel that we were able to develop so closer realtionships with our kids! Family is so important!! I love my family with all of my heart and want to be the best mom that I can be!! I have great kids!! I am really sad to have to give them back to school!! I will miss them alot!! 

Until next time Summmer!! We miss you already!!!
