Moab Weekend

Well, it has been a while since we have made the fun trip to Moab and we finally made it down there. This was a different kind of trip for us. We went with some great neighborhood friends and did the 4 wheeling thing. We camped with I think every other 4 wheeler in town. Wow, what a different crowd!
Day 1: We took the LandRover and did the Hell's Revenge trail. A little intense for me, but we made it out with only a few scrapes on the bumper. The kids did great and enjoyed the ride. We road out to where you could look over the Colorado River. That was where we had lunch that day. I was certainly glad to be back on paved roads. The guys went out later that night and did the Moab Rim trail, which is even more intense. It was good that I hung back at camp with the kids.

Day 2: Our family decided to go to a little hiking. We hiked to Corona & Bowtie Arch. We hadn't done this hike before but had heard great reviews. It was a mellow hike, which is what I needed with my sore foot and the payoff of the big arch was definitely worth it.


Definitely was a great way to spend a weekend with great friends! We can't seem to get enough of weekends away! Hopefully there will be many more to come this summer!

Spring Sports!

Well Spring is officially here and that means soccer, baseball, softball, volleyball and a little more softball. Yes it is truely CRAZY! Brynnley is finishing up her club volleyball season. They finished the last tournament tied for third place, which they felt really good about. They made some huge improvements over the year and had a lot of fun doing it. We are hoping for a growth spurt from Brynnley over the next few months, so she can learn to play the front row.
Brookelyn is playing some softball with the "Tigers". They are doing awesome and she is getting better every game. She has had some great hits and good plays in the field. I hope she learns to love the game like I do!

Camden just finished up his soccer season last week and is full swing into baseball! I have been impressed with the improvements he has made in both soccer and baseball since last fall. I didn't get any good soccer shots this season, I was counting on this weeks games, which got canceled. Oh well, there is always next season.




Oh ya, and a little more softball. Blake and I are playing on a couple coed teams this year, which is always fun. I guess it is our pay off from running all the kids everywhere. They have to come watch us play too! I am just hoping the stress fracture in my foot will heal up so I can actually run the bases without looking like a gimp!
Whew, live is a bit crazy! But I wouldn't want it any other way, so lets play ball!
