Blood and Softball

Bill played on a softball league this year and of course we all know he is a stud. Well this stud of mine decided to be a hero and slide into 3rd base. Lets go back to the last time Bill decided to slide. It was 14 years ago he was in law school and he broke his ankle sliding into 2nd base. He vowed that he would never slide again. Well never say never! It was painful to watch and I'm sure much more painful for him, he said it felt like hitting concrete. Well it resulted in a bloody leg, elbow and a pulled muscle. He said it was all worth it...he was safe.

This picture doesn't even do it justice...it was nasty! It turned green and red and grossed us all out. I had to change our sheets every night for weeks.

Family Friends and the Fourth of July!

It has been a Pope/Fox tradition to spend the 4th of July together. Our families love spending time together and even though we have a big age difference between kids we all seem to blend well. My children have such a love for the Fox children and it is tender seeing them all together. This makes our lives as parents even easier as the kids love and help one another out and the grown ups get to hang out. We always pack in as much fun as we can..this time we went to the open house of the new temple in West Jordan...baseball game..swimming..parade..hot air balloon launching..fireworks and we had a special chance to see our friend Kyle and his sweet wife and family. We came home so tired but had so much fun! Thanks Fox family for putting up with us! We love you guys!
