Bike riding

Now that the boys hang out with my mom everyday, they get to ride their bikes on something other than dirt. They love how fast they glide down Mom's paved road:) I took them on some rides that I used to go on when I was younger...whew!!! It feels like the entire Harland Rd is a hill...well, only until it is our time to turn off. Then, it goes downhill. Pretty fun, though. I was really impressed with how the boys handled hills and tough parts of the ride. They are strong lil' guys. Ya know, I have always loved riding bikes. The wind blowing in your face and how fast your scenery can change...and how fast you can ride away from creepy houses or dogs:)

My pitcher

This was a few weekends ago. Dallin was invited to join a Gig Harbor select team. He did a great job, but we were really disappointed in the coaching and the overall level at which the team played. (can you tell I was trying to not dangle my "at":)) He always looks so grown up out there on the mound. I can't believe that's my lil' Dalliroo. He ended up winning the MVP award for that tournament, too. The coaches had to ask me if he ever smiles?! He's always so calm and shows no expression.

What are they looking at?

I know, I know. I shouldn't dangle my participles (sp?). So, what should I have said? At what are they looking? :) The boys made rockets with their cousins. They were able to design their own with paint and stickers. Scotty named his "Blue Dart." I had to laugh under the table so he couldn't see me:) Then, for family home evening, a bunch of families in the ward got together and lit them off. Pretty fun!! Complete with dessert.

Dallin was invited to join a select team two weekends ago. He had so much fun! It was really hot, though. The coaches picked an MVP for the tournament. They said they lost count of the number of strike-outs from this lil' pitcher. Good job, DALLIN!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Of course we had another fiesta for Daddy's birthday! Enchiladas, salad, Puerto Vallarta SALSA!!, and tacos. NUM-OH!

I just want to squeeze him

Scott is 6 now. He is such a character. I got this shot of him on one of our "outings" and it just made me laugh. I want to just squeeze the stink out of that kid! Obviously this was a few weeks ago...hence, the jacket.

All-Stars Update

Dallin's team did so well. We sure enjoyed cheering them on. They ended up 3rd out of 15 teams from all around this part of Western Washington. Dallin really has learned a ton and I can see improvement even just in the three weeks that this lasted. He pitched as starting pitcher on games that he was eligible and played 1st base the rest of the time. I think it was a great opportunity for him to play with kids his own age. He is so used to being the youngest in regular season. Love that kid! Ooh, I even caught a shot of "THE COMBAT"...that is a whole other story. Let's just say that it's his pride and joy:)
