FOOTINGS!!!!!

The Little Graduate!

My first born graduated...............

OK so it was just from preschool...............

And he has one more year to go before kindergarten...............

But he was so cute sitting up there with his cap pulled down around his ears...............

Good Job Trenton, You Make Us Proud!!!!!!

Trent's new obsession

Trent has a new pet,

or should I say ............

PET'S.

YUCK!!!

The kid is obsessed with catching worms, he is so proud of each and every one that we have to make a new home for them out of a plastic cup. He even took one to show and tell at preschool a few weeks ago. On the way home he told me that the worm (which had passed on sometime the previous day) was just sleeping. He enjoys digging thru the dirt to find them and then chasing his cousins around with them. I'm sure he will someday grow out of this phase but until he does,

Awe, the joys of little boys

The Photoshoot

I realized that I take alot of pictures of other people's kids

but I don't have many recent photos of my own.

So I took the three of them out and had a blast capturing them

and their funny little personalities. But its kinda sad to see how much they have grown since the last photo's.

My "5".

1. 
   
   Email (I know it's lame but it is such a life-saver)


2. 
   
   Sunshine


3. 
   
   My hard-working extended family


4. 
   
   Baseball (yes, Jason, I said Baseball)


5. 
   
   My three SICK kids who need their Mommy.

These are 5 things that at this very moment I am thankful for. I stole this idea from a friend but I thought it would be fun to remind me of my blessings.

"A Bad Dream"

I didn't think I'd be this bummed about the fact that the high school baseball season is over. After all, this does mean that I get my husband back. Which is critical at this time in our lives because we are trying to get a house built.

But after a few days of mourning the loss Jason got around to feeling like talking to me again (the silence made for a not so great mothers day) and all he could say was

"this all feels like a bad dream, like we really didn't lose. I will wake up and we'll be playing those games again".

I spent the better part of an hour listening to how bummed Jason is about the whole situation. I am fortunate enough to have played in some big games "back in the day" that didn't always go my way, and I can sympathize with my poor husband. I know he didn't actually play in the games, but I also know that it's just as hard on him if not harder to deal with the two losses.

So even though I do get to become reacquainted with my husband now that baseball is over, it doesn't make the end of a great season any easier to handle.

Trenton's Graduation!

I just want let everyone know that Trent will be graduating for the second of three times from preschool. Thats right, he has one more year of preschool before he is off to kindergarten (thank heavens, I need a more time before I send my first born off to real big kids school). But anyone who wants to come see the cute little graduate please feel free to join us:

(let me know if you're coming and I'll give you directions.)

Congratulations Grantsville Baseball Boys!

I am so Proud to announce that Grantsville Baseball is the region 11 champs.

This is great news for us because Jason is the assistant coach, and because my two little boys think that Grantsville baseball is the BEST. My kids share their dad about 7 months out of the year with the "boys" from Grantsville and so its nice to know that it is all worth the sacrifice. Their hard work has paid off but they are not done yet. They start the state tourny this weekend by hosting first and second round games at home. I will be rooting for the Cowboys
and so will the little Cowboys Fan Club!
-----Good Luck Grantsville----

HAPPY 27TH BIRTHDAY JASON!!!
