Horseback Riding Lessons

 Emily is our animal lover in the family. She was able to take horseback riding lessons at the Filetti's this summer.
 She learned how to saddle her horse up and care for him along with all the basic techniques to ride.
She did an awesome job riding!

Cub Scout Day Camp 2014

Matthew's first year of cub scout day camp! He has his lunch and is ready to go! 
 We met at the Kroger parking lot each day to catch our carpool.
 I'm so glad these boys had such a fun time! Many firsts for Matthew (shooting a bow and gun were his favorites of course).  This little wolf has many years of scouting ahead!

We spent many fun days at Amy and Brady's house swimming, eating, and hanging out with our cousins throughout the week! It was so awesome to see so much of my family and I can't wait to see them all again!

Basketball Camp

Emily signed up for a 1 week basketball camp up at the high school - the coaches were great along with the high school players! This was Emily's first time playing basketball and I think she did really well! 
 Ready to shoot
 Blocked a pass
 Looking to pass
 STUFF!!!
 Emily did enjoy learning some basic basketball skills that week and meeting new people! She is definitely my sporty little gal and I can't wait to see what talent she may pick up next!

 Sam gets lots of lovin'
