Take Me Out To The Ball Game....

Ok So I love I mean love baseball!!! If I was a man I would be coaching baseball instead of dance!!! Anyway this year is Canyon's first year playing T-ball and it just doesn't get any better (well it would be better if I could make it to every game that is the heart breaking part for me) anyway here is how it is for 3 year olds playing.....
First we are not sure which hand our mitt goes on, we like to twirl it as well as wear it to catch things...



We have to swing sometimes a few times to hit that ball!! We can wear shorty short shorts if our dad wants us to.

We are not quite sure where you run and with a helmet bigger then we are it kind of makes running in a straight line pretty impossible!! But here Canyon is coming in for home!! Which by the way they don't keep score, but according to Canyon they win every game and everyone else loses!!

When you are on 2nd base its more important to see how funny you can be with your hat instead of trying to get each other out or paying attention to when you are supposed to run!!

Oh how I wish I could just freeze him at this age!!! It just goes by way to fast!!

Hayden is playing for the A's again this year, these games aren't so comical but they are really enjoyable to watch. I love to watch my boys play baseball, I love being the mom yelling in the stands. Like I said it is a bittersweet time of year for me, I always wanted to be the mom who never missed a game, yet I have 2 daughters (+ 200) counting on me to be at the dance performance's. Go Hayden I really hope this is not his last season!!

4 Girls on the Road with Obama!!

For Maddie's birthday Madz her friend Kendeyl, Jaimie and I went down to St. George/Vegas for the weekend. We went to a Cirque de Soleil show. It was amazing of course... we had so much fun though we did lots of shopping. Which Kendeyl and Maddie are queens of finding good deal... (2 Roxy swimsuits for $6)

Here is Kendeyl and Maddie outside the show.
When we got to St. George we noticed the Obama mask in the back of the car.... Maddie put it on and walked throught the Hotel singing GNO???

Anyway the next day we stuffed Obama and left him on the bed to scare the maids or make them laugh whichever... he had the remote in one hand and the phone in the other... When we got back the maids had switched him to the other bed and left him stuffed with remote in his hand etc. Good thing they had a sense of humor.

One night we went to a drive through for food and I noticed the lady looking in the back seat. She said I have a house full of teenage kids I've seen it all... I looked back and Kendeyl was just sitting their with the mask on. Needless to say I think Obama made the trip!! We all had such a good time we wanted to stay longer. It was a great birthday party! And an even better road trip!

Another shot at Maddie's Birthday

Yeah it worked.... I have been trying to update my blog with no luck and today it is working YEAH!!

Here is Madz birthday dinner with my family. Don't you love little kids look at them watching so excited as she opens her presents... you know it is killing them that it's not their birthday but they are handling it with great control. She got lots of fun stuff, clothes, stuff for her room.... glow in the dark Iron man underwear??

This is her with her birthday cake, she had Shawna make it for her. Shawna did a great job!! Thanks Shawna... Maddie wanted all giant candles we had to convince her it would ruin the cake!
The spanking tunnel.... does anyone do this anymore? My family is so funny notice its all the adults pretty much too making the tunnel.. and what 14 year old actually crawls through it!! Good times I tell ya..

We just gave her a few clothes for her birthday, she wanted to go to Cirque de Soleil in Vegas for her birthday so that was her main gift and her party this year. You have to have a birthday outfit though right!! Notice the crepe paper etc in the background. Tom always does this for birthdays. Even though she is 14 she would have been disappointed had the house not been decorated.

Happy Birthday Madeleine!!!
