Number 5! Thats a goood number!

Jordyn has been playing high school softball for a few weeks now and really loves it. She is doing great! We have a thing about numbers in our house(the kids get this from Bill) Some numbers are better than others when your playing ball, so it is always a goal of the kids to try and get a good one. Jordyn is number 5! That is a good number in our house ( or in Bill's world of sports). I'm sure to most people it means nothing...but when it has to do with sports and Bill everything means something! If you know Bill you know what an Amazing baseball player he was and still is! It has always been a huge part of his identity, and it is fun to see him share his passion and pass his love of the game onto our children. When we were first married we would lay in bed before we drifted off to sleep he would quiz me on sports. "Give me a team, a player and the coach". I used to think he was crazy... but I learned so much. I look back on that and laugh. I had to go get a library book for Jake on Yankee Stadium the other day. I was talking to the librarian as I was requesting a book from another library and she started inquiring about the reason behind the book and began to ask me some baseball questions. I would have made my husband proud! I had all this baseball knowledge in my brain that just came flowing out of my mouth. I shocked myself! Jacob's baseball season is beginning and you can bet that we will all be praying he gets a good number!

Lou Lou turned 12!

Friday night we celebrated Emily's 12th bday! We went to the mall with some of her friends and had a mall scavenger hunt. It was a blast! They had to do a variety of things from knocking knuckles with a store employee, proposing to a teammate in front of a bridal store, wearing baby shoes on their hands, finding a Seattle Mariners ball cap and put it on, balance a book about the Obama family on someones head and soooo many more. It was a great night full of laughter and fun.
Emily has really grown up. Today at church Bill and I watched this little baby girl who reminds us of Emily when she was small. Watching this baby brought back such fun memories of Emily! Emily has always been our happy child always smiling and laughing. She has grown into a beautiful young woman! We love her so much! Happy Birthday Luly Bug!

Jordyn Made The JV Softball Team!

We are so proud of Jordyn she made the JV softball team at Rocky Mountain High! She has been getting up extra early several morning during the week to make a 6:30 am optional practice since Christmas break. They had try outs last week and she was thrilled to get on the team. The weather has been awful here, it has been freezing cold and some crazy storms have rolled in. Jordyn has played ball outside everyday after school for 3 hours in sleet, rain, and snow never complaining. Bill and I are so proud of here positive attitude and determination! She has a crazy schedule during the week balancing sports, dance 2 nights a week, mutual, piano and homework. She is an amazing girl!!!
