OUCH!

This weekend (Thursday-Saturday) R played in the Slugfest tournament.  The boys had a tough time to say the least but I think many lessons were learned.  They always have fun together because of their love for baseball but it still hurts to loose by 6+ runs (more than once).  We'll just leave it at that!

During the last game R was pitching and got a couple of "come-back-ers."  The first was right to his face but thankfully he got his glove up and caught it for the out. The next one was in the upper thigh.  He was able to grab the ball and toss it to first for the out again.  Go R!!!  I tried to get a picture of his leg after we got home.

If you touch it it's a big bump and very hot.  Even when I don't touch his leg just put my hand close over it I can feel the heat coming off his skin. Started out with pink circle where the ball probably hit and now a purple circle is forming around it. He limps around and has trouble on the stairs.

Trying to get team picture after last game.

**Still need to post pictures of A's birthday that was a couple of weeks ago :)**

Spring Break

This spring break we stayed close to home, but had some fun times.  Here's a recap of the long weekend.

First, at the end of March we celebrated a birthday.  Can you tell how old Larry is now?  Happy Birthday! We LOVE you!

On Friday we decided to go up to Ensign Peak.
This is what we saw when we first got there.

 Then we started walking up.

In the left picture I was timing R  ^ here^    as he ran up and back down the hill.  He did it in under 1 min.

We ended up at the Church History Museum downtown.

 On Saturday we saw the Blue and White football game/scrimmage (looked more like a practice to me -which I guess it kind of was) in Provo and then went to the baseball game.

Girls weren't totally into the football "practice" so we ended up hanging out under the stadium.

Cougars vs Pepperdine

 Cougars lost, but the girls were excited to have Cosmo come over and say Hi.  When he first walked into the stadium L saw him and yelled, "HI Cosmo, it's me!!!"  I laughed out loud :)  The boys lasted an inning in the stadium and then went out the gates to watch from the grass at the very end of right field and run after foul balls.  They came home with 5 foul balls!

On Sunday we decorated some eggs.

Monday we decided we hadn't had enough of Provo so we went back down.  The boys have always wanted to go into the Legends Museum on campus, so we thought we'd give it a try.

R measured his foot against the largest shoe believed to be worn by an athlete at BYU - size 18.  Just a side note: R's new cleats are size 12 (in men's).

Of course needed a picture by the first perfect game ball at BYU.

 I really liked this quote!

Somehow I didn't get any pictures of Easter Sunday or any of the egg hunts.  But it was a really good weekend as Larry had taken off Friday and Monday to do these fun things with us.

HAPPY SPRING!
