Summer Time!

Summer time, Baseball, laying out, playing at the park and well getting a new hair color!

Cory, Dallin & Hunter Rugby 2011
Herriman 12U Lions

Summer is my most favorite time of year !!!
I will never complain about how hot it is, cause I know the second I do, then Old Man Winter will come back -0 and boy do I hate that guy!!!
I love going swimming most of all, watching sports, sitting by a pool - oh yeah I already said that one, getting rid of my baseball tan lines, enjoying time off with my kids, organizing my house, and sitting by the pool... Seeing as I don't live near a beach - The pool will have to do!
Summer is flying right by us without a the slightest bit of warning!
We began our summer break with Zoey's staples in her head, oh yeah I will post those pics (for anyone with a strong stomach)
Then the boys finished school and Baseball was still going, as well as a new found sport int he Gibbons household - "RUGBY"
  • Hunter decided to try Rugby out this year and is having a great time. He does however take after his older brother and Dad and being one of the more slender players - but he can run! In his 2nd week playing he scored a "TRY (touchdown). Best thing about Rugby he plays 2 games each Saturday, each game being only 30 minutes long - IT'S AWESOME! WE are all learning new terms, like; TRY, RUCK, SCRUM - Hunter really enjoys doing a sport that no one else in the family has ever played before.
  • Zoey headed off to yet another Leadership Camp in Logan in June. They were unofficial Aggies for three days. She can't tell me enough how leadership camp is the best. They had a dance off - and the 2 finalists were Zoey and Kenny both from Riverton High School - No shocker there - Zoey can definitely tear it up on the dance floor.She is teaching summer dance workshops with TDC and taking technique classes with CVAC and Elite this summer - She loves it and well she must, she pays for all of it on her own - She does amaze me! She has just started having SBO meeting and planning 2011-2012 and being DCO president next year she is trying to coordinate all her comings and goings - especially sharing a car with her sisters.
  • Alissa has been working non-stop at Mulligans Golf to earn money for BYU - She is a trooper - With Chris being unemployed for 9 months and now underemployed, she has had to take on a lot of responsibility - Yet she does without complaint! She attends a new mission farewell every week, can't believe all her friends are leaving for 2 years, they are great examples to each other. She dates non-stop, when she isn't working and well let's just say she never cleans her room, and when she is home she is sleeping in her messy room....Wow- Can I have that life, please????
  • Jocelyn just finished her last Road Drive and is ready to take her driving test - However she still has 3 weeks before she is 16 and 1 month more after that til she can actually have her license. That is if she doesn't get grounded this week or take her mom's phone. ( Yeah I know she complains she is still the only teenager out there without a Cell phone....Yeah Yeah Yeah cry me a river - These things are earned at t his house and well she has lots of earning to do!!!!!) Jocey is with a new friend everyday and every night - in fact sometimes there are new kids here every hour. She loves facebook, playing in the rain, taking crazy pics and hanging with ZOEY! She is a social butterfly and keeps us on our toes.
  • Stone just got back from Omaha Nebraska, playing in the Slumpbuster Baseball Tournament. We sent him with some awesome families and they took great care of him, He had fun going to the College World Series game, The Winter's Quarter Temple to do Baptisms and hanging at the hotel with the tam. The only thing he forgot to do was buy a t-shirt from the tournament to remember it by - Oh well I guess Mom's do come in handy at these things?Stone was able to play in a tournament with the Utah Horns on the 4th of July and had a blast, He gets along with everyone and every coach - he just wants to play ball all the time.
  • Hunter is, well can I say, keeping himself entertained, If he is not watching Avatar or Harry Potter Marathons, or creating new game, swimming with friends and cousins, weaving bracelets, drawing, asking mom to take him to McDonalds for a sausage burrito , or just fighting with Stone - He's complaining about having to do Scout Merit Badges during the summer or why can't he go here or there every minute of the day -
I SEE WHY MY SUMMER IS FLYING BY - I can't fit enough into every day to please everyone - That cloning thing doesn't seem so bad right now.
