Braden has added a few accessories.
In May Braden had braces put on his teeth.
It is amazing to me how the teeth straighten
so fast. He has a pretty smile inspite of the metal.
Also in June he decided to end his baseball season
early. He decided to fracture his arm. At first it
looked like it was going to be a pretty basic fracture.
A long cast for 2 weeks then a short cast for 3 weeks.
Of course his arm has other plans. His bone keeps
shifting and in order to fix it the Dr. would have to
pin it through the growth plates and he wants to avoid
that if all possible. That explains the weird shape to the
cast. He has casted him this way to hold the bone where
it needs to be. Not sure if this will work or not. This type
of casting can cause pressure sores and it looks like
Braden may be getting one. If that is the case he will be
getting the pins in his arm anyway. Wish us luck.
UPDATE!!! Braden just got back from the Dr. office and his arm is looking good so far!
Braden also shot his first turkey this year. He also
became a teenager. Yes I said a teenager!!! He
turned thirteen on June 1st.
Dylan
Dylan also has had a season of baseball. He finished
up his traveling team season just in time to start his
all star season. The best part of this is that his dad
gets to be his coach. Dylan has had an awesome year.
He has bacame a very good pitcher and an even better
hitter. He hit his first over the fence home run this year.
Dylan also had a birthday. He turned 10 on July 7th.
Of course we had to wait until his baseball game was
over that night to have cake and open presents.
What a better way to spend your birthday than doing
what you love.
Halle
Halle competed in Jazz this year.
She was so fun to watch. I was so
impressed when she got up in front
of all of the spectators in Lagoon and
didn't let it faze her. She won queen with her
solo. She also won most improved dancer at
the Powerhouse. It was her first year to dance
Jazz and they thought she did well. I think her
favorite part was the crown.
This is Halle in her Easter dress. Halle was also invited to
dance the parade route with the Powerhouse . She was the youngest one
to dance. I was worried that she may not be able to keep it up the whole
parade route but she did. She was the youngest one but she held her own.
Carston
Carston graduated from preschool in May.
He had the best year. He is all ready to
start kindergarten in the fall.
Carston also had a birthday. He turned 6 on June 3rd.
I can't believe that my baby is 6. He had a fun day. We had
a friend party that morning at the park and then had his
family party that night. One of his favorite gifts was the
Magic Trick set from Uncle Brett, Aunt Diane and Jaxson.
This was him pulling a rabbit from his hat.
Carston also started his
first year in baseball.
He started T-ball. He was on
the Dodgers. He was one of the best
hitters and he was pretty good at fielding
the ball. He was lucky enough to get his
dad as a coach too.
This summer has been an adventure already and we still have half of it left. We have had fun with baseball and dance. We also have had a good time with the cousins. We have gone camping and to the play 7 Brides for 7 brothers with them. We also had a fun 4th of July. The usual parade and then the fun time at Uncle Wades house. Next week we travel to Richfield to start Dylans All star tournament. I guess you can say the fun is just beginning!!!
