Brevin T-Ball

Well, Brevin's T-Ball season is over. It was so stinking much fun. Even though it took up a lot of our time it was worth every minute. So I made a little "highlight film." The quality isn't that great, but it's a little glimpse of my little baseballer for all of you who weren't able to come to any games...I know, I know, they were in the morning. Also, thanks to everyone who did come to a game. I can't tell you how much it meant to Brevin. Now watch the movie, and be impressed!

Brevin is hilarious. He tries to pretend to be shy, but he is always saying the funniest things. Grandma Mary Ann often jokes that it would be impossible to keep track of all the things he does and says. From the priesthood blessings I've caught him giving to his little brother to the lyrics he knows to every single song on the radio...you never know what might come out of his mouth next. (Maybe a little Adrianne in him, I don't know) But this one was so funny, I thought I'd better share...

Brevin came running in the house a few days ago and said "Mom, it's coming, it's coming! I'm starting to get hair on my tallywhacker!!" He had gone pee outside and I think the sunlight must have reflected just right on those teeny tiny, soft, white hairs that are all over our bodies. He was so excited. I just tried to play it cool and tell him that that was great while biting the insides of my cheeks to keep myself from laughing hysterically!

Now Kesler, on the other hand, hasn't got the shy act down really well just yet! He doesn't mind letting it all hang out in public. We've been working on potty training, and he loves to go "pee pee deck." The only problem is, I can't ever get him to come in the house afterwards. Thus, he is always naked outside. My friend, Leslie, even made the comment the other day that his little toosh is now tan.

Kesler loves to watchagame...yes, all one word. He loves to watch his brother and cousins play baseball and softball, and he even loves watching it on tv with his Dad...Bryson's dream come true! He sits patiently and watches every play. He even includes his own little narration-whackaball, pitchaball, foul, strike, and catchaball. And if you think he can speak well about it...well, you ought to see him play.

We had a lot of fun in Malad for the 4th of July, our favorite holiday! It was really, really hot, but we loved spending time with a lot of our friends and family.

We went to the parade in the morning, watched Bryson, Brady, Nate, Brandy, & Brett play in the dodge ball tournament, and we were pleasantly surprised when Brevin ran in the races! Every year he says he's going to and when he gets to the starting line he freezes. So this year Kesler had had enough and Bryson decided to take Kesler back to the house becaue he knew Brevin wouldn't run. But Aunt Sissy stood at the starting line with him, and he ran his little heart out. I was really proud of him!

Both of the boys absoultey loved the fireworks. We all went to the high school to watch. Kesler was in awe watching them on Grandma Mary Ann's lap snuggled up in a blanket. Then we went back to the house to do our own. Kesler didn't quite make it; he was so tired he fell asleep in the car and slept through all the noise. Brevin was afraid to touch any of them, or hear any of them for that matter, but he had fun watching with his cousins. We only had two small fires :)
