Bog of Nothing

That's right, nothing.  We haven't done anything huge, gone anywhere significant, or reached any huge life milestones.  I wanted to just blog anyway and see what I come up with.  

First off, I did something today I have never done in my life, to my recollection anyway.  I freaking struck out in slow pitch softball.  

How freaking pathetic is that?  Seriously.  Who strikes out in softball?  Apparently I do.  I was beyond mad.  I was so mad that the rest of the game was nothing to me.  I missed an easy grounder in the infield right after striking out.  I have done that plenty of times, that doesn't bother me as much.  It didn't help that we got killed.  

I think the final was 19 to 5.  

We went, as a family, to the Bees game today.  Once a year, they play a non Sunday daytime game. 

It was 

Haylee's first game and I know if she could 

speak she would be going on and on about how much she loves baseball games.  

She would probably be talking so 

much about it that we would be tired of hearing about it by now. Brent Locke and his family joined us.  That is his 

oldest boy in the picture with Tierra and Eli.   

For the first time in a long time I do not have my next MLB game specifically planned.  I want to do at least 2 more this year.  4 stadiums a year is not a far fetched goal is it?  

Eli's baseball is going well.  It's actually a lot less involved than I imagined.  

They only play about 2 innings, probably because the parents would lynch the little league corporation of they went any longer.  I am decided that 3 years old is a little bit too young to start.  

We are all anxious and excited for summer.  I am sure pretty much the entire state of Utah is ready though.  What am I not ready for is the road construction.  Has anyone else noticed that they work on 201 and I-215 every year, whether they need it or not? 

 

Work has been great.  We had a first-in house fire the other day.  Disclaimer:  I do not wish for anyone to have to experience the devastation of a fire in their home.  That said, I love being able to respond to any fire, since they have to happen.  

I especially love being first in.  Actual house fires are not very frequent.  Divide the low number into the number of stations in the valley and each individual firefighter is lucky to get a couple a year.  (Again, I use the term lucky liberally.)  

Not wishing them on anyone, we just want to make a difference when they do happen.  Fighting a fire is hard work, so intense, such a rush.  

Haylee is growing big.  She is growing much faster and differently than our first two did.  It is a new thing for us to have a kid that is normal according to doctors and their charts.  She is wearing clothes now, at 3 months old, that Tierra was wearing at 9 months.  

Tierra did dance, and had her obligatory Recital.  She loved it, but thankfully she told us she wants to take a break for a while and try other stuff.  She is anxious for swimming lessons this summer.  I promise I had nothing to do with that decision.  I will do my best to support my kids in whatever past time activities they choose.  Thank goodness I get a break from Dance Recitals for at least a little while. 

Rebecca never wants me to say much about her on here.  She stays home with the kids all the time and makes everything run smooth.  She is our schedule keeper and keeps us on track.  She is wonderful about handling everything with the kids.  All I have to do is write the checks, and I am grateful for that.  She enjoys cooking and often has meals ready to go for all of us.  Our family is fortunate to have her for our Mom and Wife.  

I think with that, I have covered all of us.  Hopefully I didn't bore you too much!  Let's do what Haylee does best...... Sleep!
