Milestone #1: Walking!
Well, Emmett finally decided that he would like to try walking. He's very slow but oh so proud of himself. He's grown up too fast -- soon he'll be in nursery! If I knew how to make those fancy video clips -- I'd put one on.

It's awesome and those boys couldn't be happier. Cash's mom is right -- a boat does have a way of bringing the family together. Thanks Mom Hill! We've had such a great time at the lake and our kids already look like Oreos without their bathing suits on! And speaking of skiing...
Milestone #2: Skiing
Spencer learned how to ski! He got up on two skis and really seemed to like it. He rode around for a while and then tried to do some fancy footwork like he saw in the youtube video...he promptly fell. But, he's ready to keep working on it.
I'll post a picture of him skiing soon!
Milestone #3: Baseball
Spencer has had another great baseball season. Cash was his coach again and I don't know who has more fun, Cash or Spencer. Spencer has gotten to be great at the plate, he's a fantastic 1st baseman, he likes to play catcher, and at the last game he got a double play.
Cash couldn't be more pleased that (for now) Spencer likes skiing and baseball and they have a blast spending time together doing both!

Audrey has been in charge of her strawberry plants since last summer. We planted one plant and we now have about 25 plants. After lots of watering and lots of patience, she finally got to eat her first strawberry. She has decided there are plenty to share and checks on them every day.

Way to go, Emmett!!
Yea for the Hill family! Those strawberries look delicious, we might have to see if Audrey will sell some to us :)
Congrats on all of those milestones!
Look at my favorite niece and nephews all grown up! Can't wait to see them soon!
Well, it would appear that your blog is somewhat mis-named? (probably incorrect grammar, but JeNeale will correct it.) These seem like natural successes. Good work, Hill family.
Emmett, slow down. Take your time, it all goes by so fast! Soon you will be ignoring your sippy cup in favor of Mtn. Dew cans.
Spencer, try lifting one foot out of the water. By the end of summer you could be on one ski.
Audrey, ask your parents if you can plant a couple hundred more plants. You already have one customer. When the money starts pouring in, those strawberries will be very satisfying.
Wow...walking, waterskiing, master gardening. The Hills ROCK!
My suggestion is to print your blog posts off and put them in a journal. I so wish I had been a better journal keeper (like Lauralee) when my kids were younger.
So excited for your kids! Maybe next year you can use your master gardening skills to help me with a garden. . .
You Hill's are rockstars!!! Just amazing!
You couldn't have cuter kids. By the way this is Penny Taun's SIL. Hey I am wondering how you did the Heidi in the Alps with the crazies??? We love crazies around here and liked the braids. Blog or email me pennymoney@gmail.com
Chad was showing us all your skills on the ski's Cash. Nice cutting and spraying. We need to get you on a wake board...How about you pull that boat to our side of the state so we can share techniques?
P.S. we missed you in Lake Powell...maybe next year?
