More Spring Baseball Fun

 

Megan's 10 Birthday & Softball

 

Megan wanted to go to Red Robin for her birthday dinner.  She was so happy to get her unlimited root beer float.  This girl is so cute, sweet, smart, and all around awesome.  We are lucky that she is in our family.

Megan started softball.  They had a fun opening ceremony with the color guard and the national anthem.  She looks super cute in her softball uniform and is really enjoying playing softball so far.  She is doing a good job and is a great hitter! 

Backyard S'more's

We bought a new patio set and we have loved having an outdoor living area.

We bought a firepit with our patio set. The kids were so excited to have S'mores and enjoy the warm spring night.

Allie's Last Indoor Soccer Game

Allie had her last indoor soccer game on Saturday.  She has done really well this season.  She worked hard at being more aggressive and going after the ball.  She had a fun team and a good coach who made it a great season.  

Tyler's First High School Baseball Game & 15th Birthday

 Tyler had his first high school baseball game on Saturday.  It was supposed to be on Tuesday but because of the snow, it was postponed.  He played in the JV game.  He got to catch for the last two innings and also got a hit that got him on base.  It was fun to watch him play, even though their team lost the game.  

Tyler is such a great kid.  He has gotten all A's in school and seems to like it.  He likes being on the baseball team and going to school.  He is a good big brother and is getting stronger and taller all the time.  We are lucky to have him!

The next day was Tyler's birthday.  He turned 15 and seemed pretty happy about it.  He can now test to get his learner's permit.  He has done a little research into it, but he will need to do some studying before he is ready to take the test.  We gave Tyler an overnight hiking backpack for his birthday, and he seemed to really like that.  We are going to have a family party in a couple weeks for Megan and Tyler.  They always like that.  

Family Achievements

The three younger kids have all received awards for their last quarter grades, achievements, and/or citizenship.  They got a certificate and a picture with the principal.  They are all great kids and it's nice to see them recognized for their hard work.

Tyler officially had baseball tryouts and officially made the team.  We are proud of his hard work and look forward to seeing him play.

Family Bingo Night

 

Julie and her kids came into town for the weekend, and we all got together for dinner and a rousing game of BINGO.  It was actually lots of fun playing with the family.  It was nice that the little kids could play with everyone else, and everyone got a prize.  Family time really is the best time.

Josh's Temple Trip

Josh got invited to go to the temple with some friends to do baptisms for the dead.  He had a really good time and was glad he got to go again.  He even learned about putting names in the prayer roll and was excited to put his Aunt Wendy and Uncle Gabe's name in the temple.  I thought that was super sweet.

20% Growth Assembly

Josh and Allie got awarded with a 20% increase award.  Megan didn't quite make it this time, but hopefully she will get it next time.  

Weekend Getaway - Day 4: LAX to SLC

We didn't have to be at the airport until noon, but we had to check out of our hotel at 11:00.  It worked out well because it was Super Bowl Sunday in LA, and the traffic was a little bit heavier than usual.  We did get to see the busses with the football players going to the stadium on our way to the airport.  That was pretty cool.  Our Uber driver was a lot quieter than our first, but he got us to the airport without any problems.

We had no problem going through security and had plenty of time to eat lunch and then walk around.  Our flight was quick, and it was nice to be home.  We always miss our kiddos while we're gone and they seemed to miss us too, even Koda.
