Family Pics at the cabin 2011

This is most of the Lunt family. We are missing Darin and Sarah's family and Tyler (he's taking the picture)

Fourth of July

We started the day off bright and early at the hot air balloon festival. There was too much wind for any of the balloons to take off but some still blew up so we could at least have something to look at. The coolest one this year was the darth vader balloon. We met Grams and Papa there with all the Lunt cousins. After that we went back to Grams and Papa's house and took a nice long nap. Then we went to the festival activities all afternoon where the boys rode all kinds of fun rides and got their tattoos. The first picture tells you what Max liked best.

That night there weren't any big firework shows to go watch, but Robbie and his friends put on a pretty close runner up. They had all kinds of big, loud, and crazy fireworks. Two minutes after we sat down to watch it started to rain. We sat through it for a bit, but decided it wasn't fun getting totally soaked so we ran back to the car. The car was a better spot anyway since we were so close to the fireworks before that we were actually getting hit with ash. All in all it was a great ending to our fun and eventful day.

Sports Sports and more Sports!

Tyler, Cole & Brady at the Suns basketball game.

Cole playing on his first little league baseball team. Isn't he so cute in a full uniform?!

Here's a quick look at Cole and Brady hitting a tee shot.

These guys are such sports fanatics!!! That might be an understatement too. They play and play and play some more then when they come in the house to rest they watch sports on tv. I love to watch the boys at their games and tournaments, even though sometimes I am a nervous wreck hoping that they play well. The boys are very competitive, try their best, and have lots of fun so this is just the beginning of many many more hours of sports I get to enjoy!

Memorial Day in ShowLow

Tyler was asked to play in a softball tournament in Show Low over the Memorial Day weekend. So us and a two other families decided instead of staying in a hotel that we would rent out a big cabin. So much fun. So much better than a hotel. It was pretty big and provided every family their own rooms and bathrooms. It was so nice to be able to cook at home too instead of eating out every meal and feeling disgusting by the end of the trip. The kids had fun playing outside and riding bikes and scooters and inside there was a fuse ball table that also kept them well entertained. We also hit a go cart racing track one day. The boys had never really been to one and couldn't get enough of it. Tyler and I were dizzy from going round and round and high on gas fumes. It felt good to break away from the heat and enjoy some cooler weather. Tyler's team didn't win that many games, but oh well we still had so much fun we're already planning next year's trip.

Graduations

Not sure why I can't seem to keep up with blogging. It really isn't hard, but for some reason it continues to find the back burner so please bear with me as I play catch up.

We had two graduates in our house this year. Our first was Tyler. Tyler graduated with his BS degree from the Universtiy of Phoenix. Better late than never right? We are so proud of him. I thought it was hard to go to school when I was younger, but I think it's extremely hard when you have a family, a job, a church calling, and whatever else life throws at you along with homework. He was very disciplined and juggled it all for the last year or so and even graduated with a pretty high GPA.(Sorry can't remember exactly what it was.) Now he can officially call himself a graduate student. Yep, he decided to keep going for his masters degree. So now he's handsome and distinguished ;)

Our second graduate, obviously was Brady. Brady made his way through two wonderful years of Little Sprouts Preschool. He learned so much and loved every single day! He was so excited to go each time. (which made it nice for me that I never had to force him kicking and screaming) He had one of the best teachers around who spent so much time and energy to make everyday great for the kids. He will definitely miss his teacher, but we are so - I mean he is so ready to move on to kindergarten.
