Nope Your Not Seeing Things!

Yep, I really did it! I won 3rd place in the women's division- Not too bad for my first year! I was afraid I would embarrass Shawn but it all worked out pretty good! Shawn did really good too. He took 2nd place in the men's division. I really do think we are both going to miss our Friday night date night & couples archery. We met some really fun people and have enjoyed our late night dinner and laughs! We are still not ready to let it die, we already have plans to go out for next Friday! We also brought home some pretty cool prizes- We won a raft that the boys will LOVE up at our lot and Shawn won a really cool Badlands Bino case- Between the two and the really nice dinner we had tonight I think we pretty much re-cooped most of the money we spent for the league every week!

State Archery Tournament

The guy in the red shirt is Mike Gerard- He once held the world record for archery. He shoots on the Hoyt Pro Team. Kyle, Mike Gerard, Kort, Kolt This weekend the boys shot their very first state archery tournament. The guy that runs the league they shoot on suggested it to Shawn the other day and said they boys really should try it. After a few days of thinking about it we decided it was a good opportunity for them. We are so glad we did. The boys had a blast and did really well. It was so different for them because it was so quiet and they had to shoot 5 arrows each round for a total of 60. It took them just about 2 hours to complete. They had 4 minutes each round and there was a timer and a guy with a whistle. Once they had shot all the arrows for the round they had to go down and score it each time. They had to have 1 person read it and 2 people write down the score for each round then when it was all said and done they had to add it all up, make sure they all matched and sign each one. They do this I guess to catch any cheaters!! The total score possible is 300. Kyle shot 286 Kolt shot 251 and the pro next to Kyle shot 291. So Kyle was pretty darn close to the pro!! Kolt was not too far off either only about 40 points off of the pro. The tournament went for a couple of days at several different places around the state. They said it will take about a week to find out their results within the whole state of Utah. One of the archery shop owners was there and was telling us that the arrows Mike shoots are about $360.00 a dozen. Shawn just bought Kyle some this last week and we were thinking $120.00 was a lot, but apparently not Ü

Baby Bryant

My new little nephew is here! Shawn's youngest brother Scott and his wife Erin welcomed their first little baby this week. He was born Monday, March 14th. Weighing in at 8 pounds 7 ounces he is the biggest grand baby so far. We are so excited to have him in our family!

Archery

Kolt was the youngest in the League and he was still able to take 3rd place overall! Kyle won 1st place and highest score.

The boys finished up their archery league this week. Shawn said they gave out 6 trophies and between my boys and their friend Kort they took home 4 out of the 6. Kolt took 3rd place, Kyle took 1st place and highest score and Kort took 2nd place!

Basketball

The boys just finished up the basketball season for the year. They had such a fun time playing and both have really improved from year to year. Now we are on to Lacrosse! These two boys sure do keep us busy!

Happy Birthday Kyle #14

I can't believe Kyle is already 14 years old. We celebrated his birthday with our family over for brownies and Ice cream Kyle's favorite treat! Before you know it he will be getting his learners permit and driving- Holy cow, I don't think I am ready for that!

Brace Face #2

Well this week it was Kolt's turn to get a braces! Both boys are on the road to a perfect smile and they can't wait until they are done! The one thing that's nice is they let me schedule both boys at the same time so we are usually in and out within 30 minutes! Dr. Allred is the BEST!
