Hallie played T-ball this year. At first she was really nervous about it all. The first game was pretty overwhelming for her. She's never played before, they didn't have any practices, they don't keep score, it's just suppose to be fun. The first game she was up to bat, hit the ball and then just stood there not knowing what to do. I kept yelling, "Run Hallie run!" So then she started running toward me. I tried to tell her to run the bases. The blank look on her face was classic. I felt so bad for not showing her how to run the bases. It just seemed like such a basic thing, but how would she know she's never really done it before! Anyway, we practiced at home and then she was hitting and running the bases like a pro and having fun! It was really fun to watch all these cute little girls play.
We also went on our annual trip to Lake Powell with my family. I didn't take very many pictures. I guess I was too busy keeping track of kids and making sure they weren't too hot, that they were drinking enough and not getting sunburned. We had a great trip and the girls loved the water and never wanted to get out!

Hallie went to her friends the other day to sell lemonade and ever since she wanted to have a little sale of her own. So we made cookies and lemonade and she had a little bake sale. She was very excited to make a whoppin' $4.50! It brought me back to my own bake sale days. Good times.
My brother, Aaron and his family came out to visit from Georgia. It had been so long since we had everyone together. It was so great to have them here. Hallie and Sadie loved playing with their cousins, Gareth and Elliot. It was sad to see them go.
