SUGAR & SPICE & EVERYTHING MOST THINGS NICE.

All I wanted a picture of Sid and Riley together but when I asked them to stand next to eachother Sidney bolted and proudly proclaimed "I'm not a soccer player, I'm A DANCER! 

I'm not sure what that has to do with taking a picture with Riley, but it seems she wanted a solo photo shoot because she said "hey Mom, I'm over here" and then she started dancing.

Sid, you're one of a kind! The best kind!

I want to freeze time, I want these amazing kiddos of ours to stop growing and stay just like this.

Curious and brave, loving and loyal, introvert and extrovert. Yes they argue and fight just like siblings do, but there are just as many moments where they are best buds exploring and finding their way. Sidney adores her big brother, and Riley told me tonight he wished he was a better big brother. I assured him he's a great big brother, probably the best their ever was!

BASEBALL

Riley just finished his week of Baseball camp at SCHS and it was no surprise he loved it! 

It was 4 hours a day so he came home tired and hungry. He laid his clothes out every night before going to bed and made sure he had his equipment by the door.  Paul watched Riley everyday (lucky kid, but not if you ask him). Just like Paul would say to his dad when he was a boy,

 Riley told Paul to go watch from the car....

This is what Paul said about Riley at camp

Riley really Enjoyed Baseball camp. He said he like it better than soccer now because of the helmet! He really likes hitting and was concerned that he needed a new bat since this one hit grounders. His throwing is his strong point though. He has a pretty good arm and can zip the ball to you when he remembers to step straight ahead. The fielding is vastly improved since day one and he was the only kid I saw catch a a ball in the pop fly drill.

 

Our neighbor Andrew was in the same age group as Riley it made camp way more fun to have a buddy there.

And it was no surprise that Sid was his biggest fan! This cutie loves her brother more then anyone!

2 Soccer posts in 1

Last week was filled with Soccer! Every morning Monday - Saturday and we loved it, no complaints!

Riley's camp was Challenger British soccer camp. The coaches were great and all the kids had a great time.

 Saturday morning Paul played in an all day soccer tournament. We made it to the 1st couple games before we had to leave but in the short time we were we had a great time.

 Sidney walked in from of the entire team at half time and just started shaking her bum, it was hilarious, totally out of nowhere she starts busting out her moves. I love her, to pieces!

Dance

this summer Sidney started tap/ballet class once a week and she loves it! 

She loves being with the other girls her age and I love how confident she is. She loves the twirls, hopping and running, I love watching her. And more then anything else she LOVES her tap shoes! 

The look on her face in this picture is priceless!

   

Happy July 4th!!!!

 Riley Kick Started our day as we headed to the Pancake breakfast at my Moms church, Luckily she still lives in the Ward because i've going to this since I was a little girl and I love taking my kiddos now.

 Aven and Riley bike riding, the cousins are so cute and such best buddies!

 We heeded home for a little rest and packed up to spend the the rest of the day/Night at Abalone Beach. It was cold and windy but nobody minded, the beach is the beach and we always make it an adventure!

 Riley was a little disappointed that the Crab hunting was a little slow...

I love this piece of sand that slashed onto Sid's face, not sure how but I quickly snapped the picture!

 She was a little discussed after touching the seaweed hahaha

Riley decided to brave the water, crazy kid!

We kept the kids busy playing with bubbles, coloring inside and eating :)

  And we managed to get a family pic, kind of :)

 

It was one of the best 4th of July's we've ever had!
