Last night was Lindsay's first machine pitch baseball game. She was soo excited. There are only a couple of girls on the team, but I think they are actually better than the boys. The game started out kind of slow and the other team got them out so quickly, and our team struggled to get the ball and make any outs, but the next innings were actually quite fun to watch. Lindsay got a good hit every time she was up to bat! She also got the ball and got an out on third, and then in the last inning, she reached way up and caught a fly ball just past second base, and ran and touched the base for a DOUBLE PLAY. If she hadn't caught it, the boy would have had a home run because no one was behind her. WAY TO GO LINDSAY!

I have to admit that I am rather proud of my kids. Both Lindsay and Alyssa tried out for the school talent show and made it in. Alyssa played her guitar and sang, and Lindsay played the piano. They were pretty nervous performing in front of the whole school (820+ people), but they did SUPER.

And now on to SUMMER! We don't really have any great plans since we vacationed in Nauvoo over spring break, but would like to jet ski at Jordanelle, hike to Timp Cave, picnic at Cascade Springs, hike to the waterfalls by Aspen Grove, etc. We will mostly hang out at the pool. Dan is working there again this summer. He has been such a good responsible boy. We got him a new bike and you might see him cruising the streets on his way to work and to his friends.

I have let the kids just veg this past couple of days. I haven't made them do hardly any work around the house because I am completely dejunking the basement. And I mean completely. I have gone through every box and the kids have been really willing to part with things that have been stored for a while. I have made a mess of the family room while I have sorted through boxes, but I think today I will get the storage room back together and move on to the other rooms. I think I would like to have a garage sell in the next few weeks. We'll see how much stuff I can really come up with.
