BYU basketball camp

 We signed Jackson and Bode up for BYU basketball camp this year. They were lucky they got in! It was crazy trying to register them and the spots were taken in just a couple of minutes. Jackson stayed on campus this year with his friend Lyncoln and Bode went with his friend Jack every day. It was fun dropping the older boys off at Helamen Halls. I swear they hadn't changed at all since I stayed there when I was their age for Academy for Girls. It was strange not having Jackson home at night!

Last day of camp! They had the moms of the participants shoot a free throw. If you and your son both made it, they got a free pair of shoes. I ALMOST made it! Better luck next year, I guess!

Jackson was way excited because his team ended up being camp champs for the 8th graders. He loved his team and made some new friends. Overall, I think the boys had a really great week!

Molly's spring dance recital

Molly's spring dance recital was darling! She did a great job. It is amazing to me how comfortable she seems to feel on stage. I love that she has confidence in performing. She and her group danced to the songs "The family Madrigal" and "The Tiki Room." We of course had to take some photos with her costume, hair, and makeup all done!

Here are the professional pictures

Spring sports

I maintain spring and fall are the busiest times of year for our family because of sports. I am glad all of our kids are active and enjoy sports-- but it definitely keeps us busy! 

Molly enjoyed playing co-ed soccer again. She had a few friends on the team and played hard!

Sean coached the rookies Angel baseball team for I think what was his 7th straight year! It is Davis's last year on the team. We're hoping we can convince Molly to play next spring so all of our kids will have been an Angel and have Sean as their coach! The angels this year did great-- probably their best year ever. If I remember right, they won every game except one in the regular season. Davis did so well. He played pitcher and first base, had lots of big hits, and loved having so many friends on the team. Davis also played soccer with his same team, but I didn't snap any team pictures this season. 

Bode jumped up to the cubs majors baseball team this year. He also had a really great season with several home run hits. In this pic he is holding up a '2' for his two home runs that game. 

After his regular baseball season, he was asked to sub in on a competitive baseball team for a kid who broke his arm. He got to play some pretty high caliber games and held his own. I was proud of him for stepping in not knowing anyone and playing hard.

This spring was also the end of an era for Bode's soccer team he's been playing with for years. His head coach decided it was his last season, so the team dissolved. This team was so much fun to watch and I was so impressed with these boys. Bode loved playing on this team and it was really sad to see it come to an end. 

Jackson played spring lacrosse again and enjoyed having buddies back on the team. He also played tennis, but I can't seem to find the pictures on my phone!
