President's Day Weekend 2009

Me and the kids took a little trip down South for the weekend to enjoy a little break from our crazy life and to enjoy opening day of my MOST FAVORITE sport, BASEBALL!!!!! I can't believe that it is only February and we were sitting at a ballpark soaking in the sights and sounds and even smells of baseball. To me, one of the best sounds ever is the sound of a baseball connecting with a bat......ahhhhh, music to my ears!! Add a hotdog and a diet pepsi and I'm in heaven!!

Carson getting ready to bat and oh my gosh.....a smile!!

Getting ready for that favorite sound of mine!!

And he's SAFE!!

This weekends games were actually part of a tournament that is held each year in beautiful Southern Utah where it is warm most of the year. The weather wasn't the best but when the sun came out it warmed things up quite a bit - at least it wasn't raining like the weather had predicted.

Unfortunately for Carson and his team, they had a 2-2 record for the tournament and didn't get into the finals which were being played today. No big deal, we still had a fabulous weekend and played hard!

Poor Little Jetters was so tired and fought off sleep.....but finally gave in at the end of the game

And poor little Taylir......wait a minute, she got plenty of sleep the night before...but she is a teenager and they claim to never get enough sleep right???

After the games were done we got in a little VALENTINES DAY celebration! This is the spread my sweet mommy had laid out for us. Gotta wuv her!!

And of course, the Good Gomer ALWAYS remembers his honey! He even manages to celebrate while we're apart....the UPS guy delievered these to Grammy and Papa's house while we were there. Although, we were able to celebrate early with a pre-Valentines Day the week before in Las Vegas before he headed back to Oregon. I Love that man!

One of the kids' favorite places to go to when in Southern Utah, is a place we call the narrows. It is actually a city park but couldn't tell you the name....it's The Narrows to us! There is a place in the rock that the walls are literally inches apart and you shimmy your way through as you climb to the top - not for a clostrophobic person! And on top of that, if you are afraid of heights, not a place for you either. So that leaves me out! I get extremely nervous and full of anxiety just being there and watching the kids run all around the rocks and cliffs. I alwasy tell myself that I've never heard of anyone falling to their death there and I keep telling myself that over and over and over again while there. We've been going there for years and the kids always come out unscathed.

They never want to take a serious picture! :)
