July 22, 2015 - Called Home to Heaven

My Grandma Gullerud was called home to heaven this week.  She was so ready to be with Jesus, this was a blessing.  She lived a good, long life and now she is enjoying eternal life in heaven which must be amazing.  The funeral brought a lot of family together, some that I haven't seen in a long time.  If only we didn't need a funeral to get us together.

July 21, 2015 - Dad Selfie

Some family was over tonight and we spent some time out on the deck just hanging out and talking.  My Dad made himself a Coke Float which he thouroughly enjoyed and I thought it might be a good time to introduce my dad to the selfie.  He had never taken one before and we had quite a few laughs trying to get a good one.  Some people make fun of the selfie but I look at it as an opportunity to capture small moments in time.  This moment I don't want to forget and I'm so happy I have the pictures to help me remember.

July 20, 2015 - Playing Catch

 

What else do you do after a weekend full of playing baseball but play a little catch with your brother?!  Love it!  Sometimes Ethan can be so patient and he explains technique so well.  Maybe we have a future coach on our hands.

 

July 19, 2015 - Baseball and A Little Camper Cleaning

Today was the end of the Seymour Slam Tournament.  Noah's team ended up taking 2nd place which was one of their best finishes for the season.  There was some good competition at this one so it was nice to see them come together and do so well.

Sawyer also got to play in Seymour which was a pretty big deal for him. This was the first tournament he's been in and the coaches actually pitched to them!  They didn't win a whole lot of games but they improved with each one.  I think this group of boys will be ready for next year now!  Sawyer got to wear the catcher's gear a few times and I couldn't get over how little he looked in it but he loved it because he was just like his big brothers!

And in between all these games we found a little time to go home and get the camper ready for use.  It was so dirty!  The boys like getting on top of it and scrubbing it though and they do pretty good work.  Now we are ready for some camping!

July 18, 2015 - Out for a Run

Some nights are just too nice to stay inside.  Tonight was one of those nights.  Sawyer and I were home alone and I thought it would be a good idea to get out and get some exercise since we didn't have to be at a ballfield.  Sawyer rode his bike and I tried to keep up.  It was perfect. I love Sawyer's bike helmet hair in the second picture!  I guess I wasn't the only one sweating.

July 17, 2015 - My Little Old Man

Sawyer LOVES his blanket.  I think he would take it everywhere he went if I let him.  I have to give credit to Auntie Amy for crocheting such an awesome blanket for him when he was born.  He will love this thing until it falls apart!

July 16, 2015 - Computer Purchased

Noah made his second large purchase today, he bought his very own laptop.  He was pretty proud of this one too.  He did a lot of shopping around before he finally found the exact computer he wanted.  It was a little painful for him to count out all that money but I think he will enjoy having his own computer.
