Baseball's Back


Kory started his baseball season on Saturday. It was sunny but a little windy. He had a great time even though they lost both games. I am now the score keeper so I have to really pay attention. He has two more games this Saturday so hopefully they can win one.

Painting


I took Thursday and Friday off last week to paint some rooms in the house. We are redecorating Arrie's room and it stated it all. Her room is now a cheerfull yellow. She was a huge help. She did learn however that primer doesn't come off skin very well and you shouldn't put your head on a wall that someone just painted. If you can't tell in the picture she has yellow paint in her hair. She was tring to become blond I guess. Well after two days of non-stop painting Arries room the stairs and hall and Aaron's room are all painted. It's nice to have that much done.

Yard Sale

Yesterday we had a big yard sale for Kory's baseball team. They have had there uniforms to two years so we had to get all new ones for the whole team and we changed there name this year so now we are the Provo Rivercats. To help out with all the extra expenses we had a big yard sale that all the families donated stuff for. We were a little worried about the weather forecast but luckily the morning was pretty nice and we had a great turn out.

Also yesterday I got to take Arrie to her first Young Woman's general conference. It was really good. I haven't been since I was released almost 3 years ago and I really enjoyed siting there with my daughter. The messages were wonderful and I left feeling very uplifted.

St George




We got to go to St George last weekend because Kory got to play in a baseball tournament with a freinds team. It was fun and warm. Kory won 3 out of 4 games. He had a good time with the boys on the other team. All of us got to swim and enjoy a little warmer weather. It sure makes me ready for summer. We had a nice easter on sunday it was hard because we drove home from St. George on Sunday morning and had Roberts family in our house making dinner. It was nice that they made dinner but it was hard not to have any recovery time.

Basketball



Spring is on the way and March Madness is in the air. Aaron stated basketball again on Wendsday and it's better than any pro or college team. He started a little rusty but as soon as he warmed up he was doing pretty good.

Last night I got to go to a girls night out with a bunch of woman in my ward. It was fun but now I'm a little tired.

Spring Training







We are back from Arizona. What a fun weekend. On Wednesday we had Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts. Dinner for a hundred and just making sure everything ran well. As soon as we were done we jumped in the car and headed for warmer weather. We stopped in Mesquite to sleep for a few hours but were on the road again by 4 am. We had to deliver some diploma covers for a school district to start our trip. We got to our first school about 10:30 am. We were done with all 5 schools by 1 pm. We found the nearest UHAL and dropped off the trailer. We finally ate lunch about 2 on our way to the hotel. We checked in about 3 and it was time to finally play. We missed the baseball game on Thursday it started at 1 but the kids had fun swimming at the pool. I was a nice hotel only 3 months old.


On Friday we all headed to the Giants vs A's game. The weather was so nice. We sat on the grass and enjoyed the game. The Giants won.


After the game we called Henry and Ellen's girls who got to have a girls weekend with Andy. We were so excited to see Andy and she looked good. We went out to dinner and had a short visit and then left them to there "sister time". After dinner we stopped by a game that a friend of ours had a son playing in. It was an 8 year old team and they were so cute. We stayed and watched about half the game and then headed back to the hotel to swim with the friend we went to Phoenix with.


Saturday the people who were going to watch baseball got a small surprise. When they went to find out where the stadium was that they had to go to they realized that the game they bought tickets to was in Tuscan, 2 hours away. So they quickly took off so they could make it to the game on time. Luckily they had a good time. The rest of us went to a friends hotel to swim. Well not a hotel but a 5 star resort really. It made our hotel look ghetto. There were 4 pools and a lazy river, even a small water slide. It was beautiful. We had a nice relaxing day around the pool.


Sadly we had to head home on Sunday. None of us were ready to go. We needed one more day at least. Well we will be back next year.
