WOW. . . only in Utah during springtime will you have 60 degree weather one day and the next you're in teh 40's and two inches of snow on the ground. It happens every year so I shouldn't be surprised, but you never know when it's going to hit. aarrgg. . .
About a week ago Garrison was running to the basketball cout with some friends and their feet got tangled up. He fell and put his left hand out to stop the fall. He ended up with hairline fractures in both bones on his left forearm. SO, that means he is missing baseball until the beginning of May. BUT for some unknown reason, they have two weeks of preseason games that DO NOT count towards the standings!!! That is good for Garrison. Now he will only miss 6 games before getting back and showing the other teams what he can do. (don't think this is a ploy to fool the other ball teams and to get Garrison's arm ready for pitching. it's their team's secret weapon!!!!)
Then not to have sister left behind. . .she was at the club the other day playing ping pong with some friends. One of the kids accidently hit her right between the eyes with their paddle. Yes, the spot was red and a bit swollen. We're doing better now, but it's still bruised.

You know it's BASEBALL season when your child is out at practice - it's raining hard - and they keep on going.
Nothing like muddy shoes and remembering there is a towel in the back of the car.
How much fun to get the mud, now dirt, off his good white everyday shoes.
Only a mom can love a son like that.
Only a mom can love a daughter who SHOULD be in bed at night trying to sleep come out to show you that the front tooth that has been loose forever is now bleeding, but still in her mouth.
Knowing that her daughter will not try to sleep until she's had that 'bedtime story' read to her - now matter how short the book is.
Listening to a 6 year old slowly read a Dr. Seuss book before bedtime to stay awake a bit loner.
Gotta love kids!

BIRTHDAYS
Well, Greg is now the proud father of twins who are 16 years old. Nathan and Rachael turned 16 on February 16th! How lucky are they. They were down this weekend and we had a great time. Garrison had another basketball game Saturday, and lost, part due to the officiating (like always)but I do have to admit his team started coming together
After Garrison's game we went and signed him up for baseball. We're always so busy between basketball and baseball the first half of the year that by the time July comes he is already complaining he is bored! Go figure.
Monday we all went and saw The Lightening Thief. Very good movie, even Payton stayed focused the entire time. All the kids in the theater were way excited when advertised as the movie coming out in the spring. . .Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
We then went out to eat and then spent time watching the Olympics and whatever else was on tv until the kids had to leave to go back to Logan.
The kids were very excited to have a short week this week in school since Monday was Presidents Day. Who wouldn't be.

Baseball
Yes, we're still alive. We've just been caught up with life and hanging in there. Garrison is playing baseball and is on the Atlanta Braves team. As of today, their record is 4-0!!!! We've been busy with four games in five days due to make-up games thanks to all the rain we've had the past few weeks. Hopefully after today we'll have just one more game to make up and then we'll be back to a normal schedule. I've learned how to keep score and also how to work the scoreboard at the games. There is just a lot involved.
Greg and I are new Sunday School teachers for the 16-18 year olds. It's been awhile since I've taught so this will be fun. We team teach with another couple in our ward so basically each of us only have to teach roughly two times each month. Not bad.
Payton has all the High School Musical movies pretty much memorized. The scarry part is when a song comes on the raido from any of the movies, she will tell you what movie it is from AND also what track number it is on the CD!!! I'll have to record her while she dances and sings to the songs for future reference. She's told me she'd like to take dance lessons. . . now I just need to talk to people and find out where they go and when I can get her in.
We have a beautiful, warm, semi-cloudy day today. . .but Spring is definitely here.
