Sports and Fall Fun

So football has been in the fore-front now with Logan sporting the number 1 on his jersey.  This is not a picture of today's game.  I forgot my phone today although I took one photo with Spencer's phone.  So they have won 2 and lost 1.  Today's score was 48-0 against the Lehi Pioneers.  Logan's new nick name should be pit bull.  He's little but dangerous!

Afterwards they were gathered hearing about their game.  I'm sure it was mostly all good!

Brecklyn's birthday came and went and left her with a new number!  13!  She is officially a teen.  And she was busy like a typical teen.  She had practices all afternoon and then at night a big friend party at grandma Arden's pool.  Lots of friends, gifts and fun, I would suppose.  So on Thursday night she came all alone to get her gifts from us and Omi.  Here she is admiring her new cheer shoes.

Over the Labor Day weekend, Saturday, exactly we went to Swiss Days.  We hadn't been in a while, but we wanted to go.  It turned out to be a busy day.  We made it to Midway by 7:45 and started going through the vendor booths, early. We spent a few bucks and bought this amazing piece!

We had to order it and hopefully it will be in my possession in about 2 more weeks.  I bought the "natural" one.  There are no electric plugs.  It has a battery pack in the base.  Isn't that awesome!  I just love it.

Fun Swiss Days! And interesting, although, not very "Swiss" type food.  But that's OK!  I'm always up for a good SCONE!  With Blueberry syrup on it.

Nummy! We saw that they filled the whole plate, so we shared!  And we also had great news from Arden, the DNA tests and my hard research found her biological mom.  I had been trying to help her since our second borns were engaged about 18 years ago!  Hard work, luck, prayers and we did it!  Yeah, best news I've had for a while!  More on that later when all involved have heard.

March bizziness! alias March Madness

Well, the month is about 1/2 over, maybe a bit more.  The first months of the year are flying by.  This week had records high temps of 76 degrees.  Needless to say, I thought it was wonderful.  But of course, next week won't be as good.  So, last week 3 of Jamie's kids, Logan, Brecklyn and Grayson were in The Wizard of Oz.  Their elementary school has a yearly play and this year Jamie directed and choreographed and had 3 kids involved.  What an undertaking.  Here are some pics.  The costumes were so amazing.  The play was so amazing and they all did just wonderful.

Here are the participants of the pre-show.

Brecklyn was a dancing snowflake.  So pretty.  She's in the middle.

And an apple tree.  So pretty.

There's Grayson in the yellow pants.  He's a dancing Munchkin.  He did such a great job.

Logan was a winged monkey.  He's on the right.  Isn't he scary?

And a Munchkin, too.  He's on the left.

 Here's my crew!

And with mommy director, too!

Here are a few more cast members!
It was a great nite!

Will There Be Baseball in Heaven?

So yes, will there be baseball in Heaven?  Inquiring young boys want to know!  My two oldest grandsons are doing well in baseball and have had a really busy summer with it.  Logan is using Ty's old number 7 and Tyson is now 22.  It appears that he has a nick-name to go with that and it's "Twos".

I think I have spent most of my vacation following the b-ball tournaments this season.  It's been busy with two of them actively involved and the youngest, now 5 year old brother starting T-ball.

 Tyson catches quite well and is a real wall!  A few get past him, but not a lot.

Here we are at a Heber tournament.  Love this area.  But it was very hot and I just don't know how those boys deal with all the heat!

Well, I think I have come to the conclusion, that there must be some kind of baseball in Heaven.  There sure are tons of fans here on Earth.

School Play Time!

It was fun to go to the elementary school play last nite.  My two grandkids, Brecklyn and Logan were in the play and did a super job.  And their mom choreographed 5 dances.  Spence and I enjoyed the show and here are a few pics for you!

Logan is on the far left.  Did a great job!  His first school play.

Jamie choreographed 5 dances.  She did a great job, as always!  Here's the Bird Girl, Brecklyn.  In another school play, not her first.  And she is getting to be a really great dancer, like her mama!

Here is my Bird Girl in Action!

How did she do that for so long.  She didn't even wobble!  Great play and great family.  Wonderful evening.

Logan: His BIG DAY!

So I have to say it is taking all afternoon to do these posts because my computer keeps turning itself off.  I hate this computer.  I mean when it works, I love it, but when it has it's little days, I hate it.  I have never had  a computer do this before!  And I don't like it.  Anyways,  I am going to try one more time to post Logan's baptism!  I hope we don't have another crash.  Here goes, saving every little addition!

Baptizer and baptizee!  Don't they look happy!  Yeah, such a very special day!

Proud mama!

The GUYS.  Aren't my grandsons handsome!!

The whole family!  One more baptism to go!

The program is about to start!  The audience waits with baited breath.

The Great-grands are also here.

And the cousins!

And here is the family.  Or many of them, at least!

Food glorious, food!

There's all those strawberries I sliced up!  Just wanted you to know!  There were many pints of those babies!

Logan: It's Great to be Eight!!!!

Logan had his 8th birthday and he got some good stuff!  Also the trip to Green Bay to see the Packers and have a clinic.  But yes, he had a fun day!

Oh yeah!

Dinner at grandma Arden's and a shared birthday dinner with Aunt Kobie!

Navajo tacos for all and gifts and fun.

Strike Three, You're Out!

Today was a big baseball day.  Spence and I couldn't stay all 8 hours, but we were there for much of it.  Here are a few highlights of the day.

Nr. 7 et al getting ready for their first win!

Casey Jr. up to bat.  He hit some nice ones today.

Between game granola bar break!

The gang's all here.

Tyson, the catcher.

 Getting ready for Logan's game.  He is number 8.

Playing ball requires lots of liquid refreshment! Logan is in the middle.

 The baseball moms staying close to the action.  Jamie in the red hat.

Jamie ran out of chairs and Jake borrowed one from Gray!

 Up to bat..and a good batter he is!

Meanwhile, the audience needs a much needed nap.  Big brother is NOT watching you...Logan!
4 games/4 wins.  I'd say it was a good day!
