Girl's Night

Well, after all the dance and ball events, Arden invited her daughter, Farrah, Jamie and I to dinner. We first went to the hospital and visited Angie, Jamie's and Farrah's sister-in-law who was in the hospital recovering from a stroke and brain surgery. She is doing very well. Then we went to Market Street Grill for dinner. Here we are at dessert time. The Raspberry cake is very good. Anyway, now it's Mother's Day and I wish all my friends, reader's and own Mom, a great day!

Thanks to Jen, the waitress for snapping the picture of us. Specially after the hard time we gave her, just kidding!

Wall to Wall BASEBALL!

No kidding, Tyson has so many baseball games every week. It's impossible to be at them all. But I do what I can, and so does Spence. Sometimes the kids have overlapping activities and so they are doing different things at different places, all at the same time. It's hard to know where to go. I feel badly that I haven't seen even one of Logan's soccer games. He is so good at soccer. But hopefully next Saturday, which also is his last game of the season.

So OK, we will start with T-ball. It is funny to watch T-ball after all the more "serious" little league games. T-ball is sometimes really funny. The other day, and I wish my camera had been in the ready, but I missed it....a boy hit the ball and all the members of the other team, Logan's team, pounced on the ball. There was a "pile" of boys all on top of each other trying to be the one that got it. It was hysterical to watch. Anyway, here are some pics of Logan. # 1.

And then there's the bigger boys:
Tyson's team the Dodgers are in the Blue. This is a city league. They call it the Majors. (don't ask me, I only am told this) Logan's team is also called the Dodgers.

Not yet ready to hit...

Tyson plays #1 also in Dodgers, just like Logan. He is #7 on the Super League team, The Knights. Here a pic from yesterday's game.

And it hasn't ended yet... more busy days yet to come!

Breck's Big Day!

Yesterday was a big and long day. We started out the day with Brecklyn's performances at Herriman High School. It is at the foot of the Bingham Copper mine. This in itself is an interesting thing to see, Although I wouldn't want to live there on a windy day!

But that wasn't what we went out there for. Here is the real thing:

Brecklyn got a 1st place on her solo and two 1st places with her group. THEN SHE WON 4th PLACE of ALL the SOLOS that performed, not just in her age group or category. It was 4th place in solos OVERALL. We were very proud! Here she is with her trophy and tiara. She's a cute little princess! Good job, sweetheart!

A Little About Tyson Jacob

Tyson is a happy 9 year old with lots of talents and abilities. He knew the names of all the planets when he was just about 18 months old. He started talking at such an early age it was incredible. He seems to like basketball more than any sport and also enjoys baseball. He will start 4th grade in the fall of 2010. He has already traveled alot with me for his young years, to southern Utah, Texas, Germany and Switzerland. He is a real thinker and enjoys spending time with his grandpa Spencer, shooting, fly tying, golf and fishing.

A Little About Brecklyn Brianne

Brecklyn is the only girl in the family and so she has a special place in my heart. She is a pretty "Tiny Dancer" just like her mom always was. She is starting kindergarten in the fall of 2010 and just can't wait. She loves to go walking with grandma Sonja and never says no when I want to walk just a little farther. She makes friends easily and even makes friends at places such as the McDonald's playground. She has received several trophies at her dance performance competitions where her group seems to always get 1st place.

A Little About Logan Spencer

Logan is going to be in Pre-school in the fall of 2010. He is a very active 4 year boy. He enjoys soccer, just like his dad and basketball, just like his big brother, Ty. He and Ty are not at all alike and look and act totally different. It is hard to believe that they are brothers! Logan loves to play in the sandpile as my blog shows and doesn't think fishing is such a great sport. Afterall, why should it take so long just for one measly little fish? He learned to ride his bicycle at age 3 and loves to be grandpa's little buddy.

A Little About Grayson

He's here, born June 30-, on his great-grandmother's birthday. That makes him super special. 7 lbs. 3 oz. 18 1/2 inches. He's a little guy, blonde and sweet. He is definitely a "Momma's boy" and will only allow others to hold him for a very short time. Then he lets you know he is very unhappy. But I am sure this will change eventually and he will find out other people are fun and interesting too. We love this little guy and look forward to see what he thinks about his very first Christmas!
