Our Rising Star

As most of you already know, Shelby is our softball player. She lives for the sport. She made Allstars team, which means the best of the best in the city of Taylorsville for her age group. She will now travel to other cities and compete. She is excited to be going back to BYU softball camp in a couple weeks.

Cute Connor

I don't post enough about Connor. Connor has times where he is a challenge, but we sure do love him. He is just as cute as they come. Shelby is always being told by her friends "your brother is so cute!" He has the darkest brown eyes, and he is so sick of me telling him how beautiful his brown eyes are. He will be 10 this fall and going into 4th grade. He is top student in his class. He loves to play soccer and has found out he loves to play goalie and he plays it well. Connor loves legos. He begged for the Star Wars Lego Encyclopedia. He studies that book all the time. His room is covered with his lego collections. Those collections are his pride and joy. He has all knowledge of Star Wars trivia. He knows every character in every movie, every fact, every place and thing that is Star Wars related. Connor loves his dad more than anyone. He thinks is dad is the greatest thing that ever lived. Connor is very sensitive. He can become very emotional over anything. This can be good and bad. He is sensitive to people's feelings, and is quick to feel their pain. I remember when he was 2 he showed signs of this when he accidentally smashed my mom's cat's tail in the door. He felt so bad that he cried for hours! He has not changed at all. Connor loves to ski and he excels in that sport. He is so good that he goes down some black-diamonds! He can certainly keep up with his dad.

Little Father Face

Looking at Mason's old photos and can't believe how much Clover and Mason look alike. As Clover's face matures and loses the round infant look- I can see so much how she looks like her dad. Also do you see the bruise on her cheek? Ya, she ran into a door today in church. Oh, today she did so well in nursery! I took her in and left right away. They told me she was so good and never even cared mom was gone. I looked in a few times on her and she was playing and eating snack and doing sing time with all the other kids, like a old pro! I am so glad I have never had any issues with any of my kids when it comes to leaving them in nursery.

No I Am NOT A Hoarder!

Except for Connor's bike, this is my pile growing more and more each day. I am having a yard sale and I am just going crazy getting rid of everything. As you can see it is getting real hard to even open my car door.

BURNED

We went to the park yesterday. It really wasn't that hot, about mid 70's. Connor took Clover to the slide and sent her down. She screamed like she was being tortured the whole way down. She kept holding her hand and I realized it was badly burned from the slide. It was so sad.

My Awesome Find

Today I did a little yard saleing. I found these old bottles and jar. The guy long ago went to a old dump and dug them up. The Ball jar and blue bottle are from the 1880's. The milK bottle the guy fished out of a river long ago. I bought all 3 for $5!

RARE BALL JAR WITH GLASS LID.

Spring Is Popping

It has been a very unusual cold spring. Finally my spring flowers are making their way. Here are a few of my springtime flowers in my yard. Lilacs are my favorite flower. I have fond memories of picking lilacs for my mother. I love the smell more than any other flower.

My little Flowering Cherry tree, I got for Mother's day a few years ago.

My daffodils are always so late to come up. They are in the shade location in my bed.

Oh, the pink tulips. I love my pink tulips. To bad they don't stay for very long.
