Peas from the garden

Shelling peas from the garden!

Loved having the kids help me pick the peas, shell the peas, and eat the peas!

Taking a picture of his dirty face

Abby checked out a book from the library called Farmer's Market, so we started out our Saturday at the Farmer's Market. Then we headed to the good ole' Pocatello Zoo and then we went back in the p.m. and ended our day at the Zoo! It was so nice to have at least one Saturday where we spent the whole day as a family! More great memories!!

At the Zoo:

Abby gets so excited when she see the buck....laying down in the shade...can you tell she has heard her dad talk about hunting and wishing he could find himself a buck.

Abby's Summer Baseball

June and July 2012

Abby loved playing baseball this summer. This year she was in the coach pitch league and she did great. She was on the Bengals team and her coach, Amanda, is a great softball player at ISU. I love watching Abby get in her batting stance, from her face you think she is going to hit it out of the park, but it is usually a perfect hit close to pitchers mound! Abby is a fast runner and really started to understand the outfield techniques. She loved to tag people out or throw it home. Whenever she did something great she would look at me to make sure I cheer for her. She is all about the cheering, she would often tell me I don't cheer loud enough (the cheerleader in her)! Before her games we would talk about what she wanted to do better at and just go over the basics and she would tell me that she was going to pretend that someone was chasing her when she ran, and she would think of something that made her really mad before she hit the ball. I just love my Abby! No matter what she does she gives it her all!
