First day of school

This year all three kids started school on a different day. Cadynce started first on August 22.  He was ready to go with his poses:)  Cadynce is in Mrs. Mulder's class in the third grade.

Payton started on August 23.  He was not thrilled about me being all ready to take a picture before he left. Payton is the big stud in the school being an 8th grader this year.

Beckym didn't know why he had to wait till August 24 to go because all the other boys were in school before him.  He was so excited when he got to take his pre school picture.  

Kaylee and him are going to the same school this year but not in the same class.  Here is a picture of the two of them.

Ozarks

At the end of July we went to the Ozarks with the whole Marlow family.  The boys love to ride the wave runner and below they are playing by the dock and jumping off the wave runner. 

Payton diving off.

Everyone got a chance to do some fishing.  

Cadynce and his fish he caught.

Zane caught a fish as well.

Even Bekcym was able to reel one in.

Audika was pretty proud of hers too.

This year I finally agreed to let Beckym ride the wave runner.  He never knew what he was missing but I knew he would love it and he did.

One of the days we went boating.  This was a lot of fun for everyone that went.  Below is Zane cooling off in the lake.

Scott relaxing.

Beckym making sure everyone was wet.

Jamison chilling on the back of the boat.

All the boys did some cliff jumping. Here they are trying to decide if they dare jump or not.

Scott going for it.

Josh showing off and doing a back flip.

Payton's turn.

Even Jamison and Beckym jumped but only have this picture of Jamison.  I do have a video of Beckym going but he wasnt this high:)

Cadynce.

Everyone swimming out for some more.

Boating

This summer we were able to go boating with some friends of ours.  Everyone had a great time and the boys loved tubing.  

Below is Cadynce and Beckym tubing.

Payton taking a turn.

These two loved going on wild rides.

All three were able to go at the same time.

State Tournament

Payton had the state tourney and they finished fourth overall out of 35 teams.  So they did well but we all know what could have been:( This year Payton started to do some catching and this particular weekend he played catcher most of the time.  It was only about 104 degrees out so it was very warm under all that padding.  I got a little carried away with my pictures but got some good shots. 

Stealing second.

Scott giving him some pointers on third while a new pitcher was warming up.  Also passing out a lot of water this tournament when ever possible

Throwing down to third.

Huddle on the mound.

While the new pitcher warmed up it was too hot to even leave your helmet on while on base.  These two are discussing the heat I'm sure.

More drink breaks.

 

Crossing home plate.  I was hoping for a slide but there was no need here. 

Leading off second.
