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 "Grand" Day AKA A Day With the Grandkids!

Having fun with pictures. I just tried a picasa effects for fun on this picture taken at Lagoon on Saturday. The girls were waiting backstage to perform and I could see them from where I was sitting and snapped a view shots of them. They won 1st place in both their group dances. Then in the evening, Brecklyn won her second 1st place trophy in her solo. It was the second time she had done a solo and both times she came home in first place with 2 tall trophies and 2 tiaras. She was very happy about that.

In between Lagoon performances we ran to Ty's baseball games in Lehi.  So it was a hectic day.  Above Grayson toots his horn!  So to speak.  And below a windbreak tent was enjoyed by the kids at the game.  Look at the look of mischief below.  I am sure you know who I am referring to.

Ty getting ready to steal to 2nd base.
I took 2 pics of Brecklyn with her tiara today....Here is the only one that blogger would load.  Having a "bad comp" day, I guess....

Anyway, proud of my grandkids' accomplishments. It's a blessing to be a grandmother.

 

Ye Old Sandlot...

I have missed a few, quite a few, of the last games due to work...oh well...I try my best to make the games and activities.  Here is Casey at the bat...Ty that is...

Cool as a cucumber in right field...

Waiting for a little action.  Well, the boys, Ty and Logan both had games today.  It was hard to know what to do.  So I went to Ty's cause everyone else was at Logan's T-ball game.  Decisions, decisions...I love em both.

Time Take to Smell the Roses or Whatever!

Lilac bush on steroids.  Yes, this bush is HUGE....You have NO IDEA!

Logan Just For Fun!

3 Bros, 3 Boys, 3 bones

Or as the OLD expression goes, all "good" things come in "threes".  Yes if you have read my past posts, you might catch on to my title....
3 bros, Ty, Logan and Grayson
3 boys, Ty, Logan and Grayson
3 bones....all broken...

Yes, the inevitable occurred...Grayson child 3, broke his arm.  The scenario is the same, playground equipment. 










Logan's was by far the worst and Grayson's probably the least serious, but none the less, they all have something in common now.  And they followed suit in the case of their dear mom, Jamie, who at 18-19 months did the same type of thing.  Like mother, like SONS!

I have a picture of Tyson but Couldn't scan it.  Something is not connecting to my computer at the moment.

Tyson's was on my birthday Oct. 29, 2010
Logan's Feb-Mar 2011
Grayson's Apr 21, 2012

No picture yet, forthcoming!  Poor little man....poor mom...

Hope of America!

Yesterday was Spencer's and my 38th wedding anniversary.  Jamie's son, Tyson, also had a school performance which took place down at the BYU Marriot center.  Getting to BYU was a traffic nightmare and took a really long time.  Parking was another nightmare, not to mention finding a place to sit.  I think everyone in Utah was there. 

As soon as I sat down and looked over to the students performing, I saw what I thought was Tyson.  And it was.  My eyes are still pretty good, all considering the distance!

Here he is the middle "white" shirted group.  He is in the 2nd row, 4th from the right. 

Standing up in the red jacket is one of the directors, Alan Osmond

As you can see, the shirts made a flag.  And these were all the students throughout Utah County and all 5th graders.  They had studied American history this year and I can remember Jamie doing a program in 5th grade of a patriotic type very similar but on a very small scale and only her school was involved.

It was a full stadium. 

Grayson was rocking to the music and clapping.  He was a fan of all of this.

Towards the ending, the audience did a "wave" all around the stadium.  It was hard to capture, but you can get the idea, anyway.  And I hope that these young students will someday make their marks in the world, especially my 5th grade grandson, Ty.  I see him going far in life.

Personal Trainer

Well, 2 of my grandkids occupations are set in place.  Logan comes over frequently to "exercise."  He lifts my little weights, does push-ups and jumping jacks.  So I decided I have my own personal trainer now.  And Brecklyn, knows how to give a good massage to relieve those achy shoulders of mine.  Tyson says he wants to be a doctor, and the child definitely has the brains for it.
So I am all set for my OLD AGE!

Happy Belated Easter!

Today is clearly not Easter.  It was last Sunday.  Generally we always have a dinner together, but last week was different.  It was the week we were in Las Vegas for Spencer's mom's funeral.  Needless to say, it was different.  And we weren't back in time to have a dinner here anyway.  So it was today.  The dinner was fine and it actually worked out well because it was stake conference and we got out at 12:00 instead of 4:00 pm.  So we could eat early and be done early.    It was much cooler today than last week, but that is April for ya. 

Food is fun and brings the family together for the fun occasions in life.  If it wasn't so much work, I'd do it everyday!

Omi picked some pretty spring flowers for me.  I have none in my yard.  Aren't they pretty?  Couldn't find my regular vase, though.  It must be buried somewhere....

Livin' in Legoland

Yes, I live in Legoland.  They are everywhere...Yes they are!

And that is just part of the lot.  They run the house and the lives of the males in the family.  But it's a good hobby so I can't complain too much...just a little when I sit on one by accident.
