Plane tickets to Europe! It was the most amazing week! Loved the sights in London. My favorite was our tour of Buckingham Palace, going to Phantom of the Opera and the Tower of London! Then we took the train to Paris. It was just like the movies. The cobblestone roads. The delicious restaurants roadside where all the chairs face the street so you can people watch. The Eiffel Tower! Notre Dame. The Louvre. We saw it all in 48hrs!!! I LOVED the food! Thank you for taking me on the trip of a lifetime Babe!!<br />

Unfortunately this was one of them. Bryce loves the 49ers so we thought we should take him to a game. We bought tickets to a preseason 49ers Raiders game. What a mistake!! Hope my little boy isn't scared from this experience!<br />

</tbody></table> <div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Brad is so fun to watch. He definitely has an idea of what the game of soccer is! I think it has something to do with the number of hours we have spent at Bryce's soccer practices and games over the last four years. Brad is not afraid to get in there and kick the ball. He knows that a defender's goal is to get the ball back to the offense and that a goalie actually pays attention to the game and tries to stop the ball. Here are some shots I took from his practice game last night. Notice the smile on his face!</div><br />

I love to see the concentration on his face or the reward he feels when he has made a good play. This year he has really developed his skills as the "sweeper". He is great at defense and feels really good about it.<br />

</div><br />
Have I said how much my kids LOVE having cousins come to visit!!! Well I think this explains it all: We have been blessed to have the Pack family come and visit us from UT for the last 5 days and yesterday as we waved while they were driving away I said to Brad "Well that was so lucky to have our cousins come and visit, huh?" He answered with a smile and then said "Just one bad thing" I said "What?" He said "They had to go home!" So sweet...<br />
<br />
They arrived Thursday and the boys and I met them in the city Friday for dinner. I took Bryce and Brad over on the Ferry. It was fun! Then we took them to one of my favorite spots - Baker Beach! The kids were in heaven!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This was Brad's second set of dry clothes. We told him not to go anywhere near the water because we didn't have anything else he could wear home (He had nothing on under his sweatshirt or his brothers jeans). He just couldn't do it. About 5 min of watching the waves and he was back in them. He rode home in Denten's scrub top with nothing on underneath. He was wearing a big smile though!</td></tr>

Brad got to visit his favorite animals...<span style="font-size: large;">Zebras</span>!!! Then he asked if I could make him a Zebra costume. I think he thinks he might be able to get a little closer if he looks like them.<br />

This year Sam stayed with us! It is so fun to get to know these young men. In my eyes, Sam fit right in with our family. He was willing to sit and play legos with the boys, join in with family games such as kick ball in the backyard (yes we have a small diamond), played the WII with the boys and loved Reeces (which he said they don't have in the UK). Once again we were sad to see Sam go. Bryce even drew him a picture and wrote him a letter after his next soccer game to let him know he missed him. Really sweet.<br />

Four years old. His first day of preschool at Noah's Ark! He was so excited to have his own school and classroom. He loves all the fun things they do at school. He participates in everything! His first couple of times he spent his morning with the playdough. The next big deal were the blocks and large legos. They always have an art project set up and that is a big hit too! So many fun things. We love it!<br />

I am exhausted remembering it. But it sure was fun to see Carter, Jake and Brandon!! Once again, my boys sure do LOVE their cousins.

He can stay in forever!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8lsvFX8qbT4EIh7yQUBHcNhb1QTstFqjES3ZdVWDLQ1fAQEcy8G2DytD5eXkPtzAAi_TdltlCSyTgBelrXryzSgf6rqjW3jtKHWwTtu3C1ksny_7Z7Bgg9L3SVx_iU1uodZRlyH4EkIKg/s1600/IMG_2035.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506809302806197346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8lsvFX8qbT4EIh7yQUBHcNhb1QTstFqjES3ZdVWDLQ1fAQEcy8G2DytD5eXkPtzAAi_TdltlCSyTgBelrXryzSgf6rqjW3jtKHWwTtu3C1ksny_7Z7Bgg9L3SVx_iU1uodZRlyH4EkIKg/s320/IMG_2035.jpg" border="0" /></a> Bryce is great at finding treasures in the tide pools!

I have the cutest pictures, but my computer won't upload them...ugh! Anyway, here is the recap of the last six months!<br /><br />Thanksgiving was spent in LA with cousins! They kids spent most of the time in the pool. Yes the pool the end of November. It was amazing. Southern Cal is really that wonderful! Awesome Thanksgiving dinner of course and a quick trip to LEGOland then home.<br /><br />Christmas was super busy and full of surprises including the one on Christmas Eve from my bishop when he asked me to be the YW President. Little did I know what that truly would mean. Christmas Eve was spent with Grandma and Grandpa Bisk and cousins Mike and Debbie Wirth. It was great! Yummy food, great company, talked, played games, opened a present or too, built the anticipation...Christmas Day was perfect! (At least that is how I remember it now). The kids were happy which means the parents are happy. Our first Christmas in our home. It was great!<br /><br />January - Denten and Bryce took a special trip to UT to go Ice Fishing. Bryce was so excited to have a special trip with Dad and had the best time! Brad was left home with Mom but we managed to have an awesome time too with a special trip to Monterey with his best buddies John and Ty and we even slept in a hotel room with them! Super fun and unforgettable.<br /><br />The next few months kind of blended together for me. YW has been more work than I could have imagined, but I am grateful for all I have learned and for the opportunity I have to be involved with the girls. Denten has spent the last 3 months coaching Bryce's little league team (with awesome help - 3 great other coaches). Yes, they were the Red Sox and we just had the last game yesterday and it truly was amazing how much they improved. Brad started gymnastics. Loved the first day, but I think he could take it or leave it. He really likes swinging on the rope, which they don't do very often.<br /><br />March - Bryce turned 7 with an unforgettable LEGO Race Car party thanks to dad building a cool ramp in the backyard. Brad's best friends and my favorite girlfriend moved to St. Thomas. So sad and has been since they left. It is so magical to find a friend who you love, parent your children similarly, kids play well together, who you can call at a drop of a hat to do anything with you and they will say yes and I can't tell you how much Brad and I miss them. Our days are not the same. Best of luck Days! You will always be in our hearts!<br /><br />April - Brad turned 4 and is super excited to be 4. Can't believe my baby is 4...He had a super fun Pirate party. We hunted for gold coins, walked the plank, made treasure boxes with jewels, made pirate hats, tried to play a dice game, it was fun.<br /><br />May - Denten and I took a trip to Boston, MA by ourselves!!! It was 5 days on our own and it was great. Grandma and Grandpa Bisk stayed with the boys and what made the trip for me was every time I called home the boys were happy! Therefore, I was happy. Thanks Mom! Denten's dream came true as we entered Fenway Park to watch the Red Sox play the Yankees and Red Sox won! Boston was truly magical though. All that history (and I don't really even like history) but when you are there, it is truely amazing. I loved the sidewalks! ALL brick! I loved the ducks! I love children's literature. I loved the shopping (without kids). Most of all I loved being with my husband without any interruptions (except the conference he spent the last two days at) and seeing his face and feeling his excitement as we went to the baseball games. Babe I love you and think you are truly amazing. You have worked so hard and achieved so much!<br /><br />June - Bryce graduated from 1st grade! He has worked so hard this year and has been such a joy! Truly. He is my rule follower and at times so difficult, but as I have watched him learn and grow this year, I feel truly blessed as a mother to have such a wonderful boy to take care of. He always tries his hardest wanting to please everybody and follow all the rules. He is nice to everyone at school, even the kids who are not kind back (such an example). He gets along with everyone. He takes care of himself. He has learned how to read, count money, add, subtract, write stories, spell words and is also very sensitive. When you have had a hard day you can count on and "I love you" note next to your bed. I love you Bryce and am so proud of how hard you have worked this year! Can't wait to spend the summer with you!<br /><br />Bradley - has a mind of his own now. He was by far an easier child up to this point. I could take him anywhere and do anything and now all of a sudden, this little boy has an opinion! He is FUN! He can always make me laugh. Kids like him. He can play just about anything with anybody and now he can do the monkey bars too! His latest accomplishment. He loves to be home which makes me happy to know it is a place he feels safe, comfortable and happy. I have kept him home longer than I did with Bryce. I think mostly because I know he is my last and I don't want him to get bigger (but I love seeing him get bigger, smarter, stronger, etc too). He will start preschool in the fall and is so excited to have his own school. He LOVES his big brother and misses him everyday when he goes to school even though they don't always manage to get along when he gets home. Every time we drive by Bryce's school when school is in session Brad says "Hi Bryce. Hope you are having a fun day! I miss you. See you soon!" It is very sweet. <br /><br />I am one lucky Mommy to have two wonderful boys and a wonderful husband!<br /><br />And for those of you wondering, Denten has recovered great! He has a couple of scars that most of us don't even notice, but we have been so blessed for a full and speedy recovery.Laurel Eldredgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13486757628717241460noreply@blogger.com6
