What a week!

Boy! It has been quite a week. It started with a cold game Monday night. All the men played GREAT! Jordan hit another homer!  There was some great pitching, some great hitting, and some great plays! All my pictures came out blurry, sorry. But here is Nik catching again. His team won both their games this week! He hit a nice double in the second game.

Adam’s Mom AND Dad came to visit us from CA. They drove into town Tuesday, just in time to watch Nik’s game! Wednesday it was a little chilly so they stayed home and watched ALL the kids except for Ammon! There was too many girls in the house, he needed to be with the boys!! So I got to sit and watch a game with only ONE child! It was great! Thanks again Mom!

Wednesday Adam’s Dad fixed the many holes we have made in the house. It is grrreeeaaat to not have any more! Thanks Dad!

Thursday was Nik’s (My baby is eleven, a preteen! Holy cow!) and Adam’s Mom’s birthday. We let the kids skip school and we went down to Salt Lake. We watched the Joseph Smith movie and walked around Temple Square. It was a beautiful day! It is so peaceful to be there! I love being there with my family!

We did a little shopping. We got Nik a bike for his birthday. He is very proud, as you can tell!

It was a wonderful day that ended with ice cream cakes!

We were so sad to see Adam’s parents leave this morning! It was so great to have them here. The kids especially loved having their grandparents with them all the time. Ari is Grandpa’s little girl. She learned how to say Grandpa and Grandma the first day they were here. I have been trying to teach her that for a week now. She loves to sit and watch TV with Grandpa or have him carrying her around. It was really special to see her get so attached to him. This morning she woke up after the were gone. She watched cartoons with the twins and then came upstairs to get an orange. She looked around and asked "Where’s Grandpa?" I told her Grandpa was "Bye Bye.’ She said "No Grandpa movie." and pointed downstairs. So she thought or wanted Grandpa to be downstairs watching TV. She misses you guys already!

Today was a fun day for Ammon. He went to the Hogle Zoo with all his kindergarten friends. He has been so excited about the trip. He wanted, and got, to see the white alligator. Adam has been teasing him that he had to be careful or the monkey’s might keep him because they think he is one of them. He gets home today and told us all about the white alligator. Adam asked him if the monkey’s tried to keep him. He said, "Yep, they thought I was a banana!!"
