Thorpe Family Blog: This is our family scrapbook!
Saturday, June 27, we went to the Oquirr Temple open house. It was beautiful and such a great experience!
This was in the Reception tent at the end of the tour.
The front steps of the temple.
Heading back to the car.
Oh, Nick shows off his nice physique!
Out in the pool in the backyard.
We actually made it to the cabin for a day and a night! The boys put log siding on the tool shed.
Payton and Brooks look like they are doing a lot of work!!
Hey Brooks!
Nick is working hard...
Jantsen and Bailey.
Football pracitice has started and Payton, Hummer and Karson get up and work out at the high school every morning at 6:30am. Then they come here and have a little breakfast!
Hummer enjoys playing with his waffle...
A scary threesome!
This year Jantsen, Nick and Brooks took swimming lessons from Tracy Noll.
"Nice jump!"
They learned a lot and had lots of fun.
This was the last day.
Brooks and Nick took another week to polish up what they learned.
Nick and Jantsen
They got to try out the slide.
"Go Brooks!"
It was "touch and go", but Brooks did graduate from Mrs. Sheppard's preschool!! :)
Brooks absolutely loved Mrs. Sheppard and Miss Julie. They taught him for 2 years.

What do we do from March to July?? We play BASEBALL!!
Nick played "Coach Pitch" again this year on Frank Daybell's team, the Tiger's. Nick is an awesome hitter!
He loved it and he led his team to many victories!! (At least in his mind)
Always ready to make a play...
Payton also played on the "Utah Trojan" superleague team. He pitched, played short stop and third base.
These pictures ended up in the wrong order, but here the team is congratulating him on his Grandslam against the Spanish Fork Red Sox.
Rounding the bases...
Coming up to 2nd base as the other team watches where the ball went.
First pitch....Grandslam!
Jantsen also played on the Hobble Creek Hurricanes again this year. They did the best they ever have. They came in 2nd out of the entire league.
Jantsen played Catcher, 2nd base, pitcher and outfield.
He had a great hitting season and did some awesome base running.
Getting ready to bat!
We went to many, many games and loved it all! It has been a great baseball season for all three of the boys. Even Brooks enjoyed going to the games....not that he had a choice. :)
