Hello Family and Friends,

It has been a busy summer already!! Bridger finished up his baseball season last week and then tried out for the All-Star team on Saturday June 25th. We got the call later that day that he made the team. he is very excited about that. We are so proud of him. He has done a great job and has been practicing his little heart out all this week to get ready for his first All-star game on Friday. So now we begin a week of tournament games in this scorching hot weather!!

As you all know Bridger turned 8 in April and is now old enough to be in Cub Scouts. this is something he has looked forward to for a long time and it has been fun to see all the neat things they have done in scouts. He participated in his very first Pinewood Derby and had a great time doing that. This week they had a Mini Olympics and participated in 4 events including the bobsled (sitting on ice blocks), the Javelin, discus and a running event. That was a lot of fun to watch. It has been great to see how excited he is in doing all these things. We have enjoyed watching him.

Now onto Braxton, this little guy has so much energy and he really keeps us on our toes. He gets so mad that he is not old enough to do all the things his older brother gets to do. I spent the summer at Bridger's baseball games chasing him out onto the field trying to catch him because he wanted to play or help his daddy with the coaching. He is always right behind Bridger wanting to play with him and copying everything his brother does that he is not afraid to try jumping on his scooter or trying to do bike tricks. We are constantly having to watch him closely in this area.

We are looking for a preschool for Braxton to start attending later this fall. We are very excited about that. I just hope he will be excited too! He had a hard time going to the daycare when I went back to work last year. So we will have to see how it goes.

That's all for now.......
Love, Mindy
