Fantasy football Season!

Living in Florida

So, a couple of years ago after Samuel's soccer game we decided to enjoy the winter weather.  We went to the local shopping center and had fun in the snow.

Old pictures

I pulled these pictures off my camera.  Most of them are a year or two old.

The house that Rockne built

The highlight of the game.  It was all downhill from here.

Family night on the boardwalk at Disney.

The Boys of Summer are back

Well, I'm done with school, have a new job and a new calling, and the boys are playing baseball again.  Maybe at some point I will actually post some of the pictures I took over the past two years -probably not.  But hopefully I can at least keep up moving forward.  I mean baseball only takes up two nights a week and all day Saturday.

Both Henry and Samuel had their first games this week.  We're off to a good start with both teams getting their first win.  Hopefully this will be a good year for both of them.

If you're interested in keeping track of their games, there is a scoreboard at the bottom of the page for each of them.  What the scoreboard doesn't show you is that Samuel went 2-2 with an RBI single in the 4th that put his team up for good.  It should have been a 3 RBI triple, but they have a 3 run rule so he only gets credit for a single and 1 RBI, but all three made it home and he was standing on 3rd base when the play ended.
Considering he never had a single at bat last year where the ball made it past the pitcher, the fact that he hit the ball hard enough to reach the fence and his little legs could get him all the way to third is really impressive.

Henry went 0-1 with a walk in his first AAA game.  It was pretty impressive considering only one player on his team has a better On Base Percentage than he does.
One of his coaches wants him to pitch since he has a strong arm, but he doesn't want the pressure so he told them no.  They went through 4 pitchers in the game and the last pitcher was reaching his pitch count.  I was thinking they might not have any choice but to have Henry pitch just to get them out of the game.  Lucky for Henry it didn't happen.

Tough life

So I started my new job at the JW Marriott and The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes this week.  Because they are relocating me am am required to stay on property for the first fifteen days. 

This is what the grounds look like:

Can you believe I have to stay here?

The worst part is that after I have been here for 11 days they are going to make me change rooms.  They are going to make me move over to the Ritz-Carlton for a week. 

Sometimes my job can be so hard.

William's new ride

A couple of weeks ago the kids put William in Sadie's toy stroller and were pushing him around.

As you can see, they all had a blast.

They come from Good Stock

I have one ancestor that started the Deseret Soap Factory in Salt Lake City and another that did the casting for the oxen in the Salt Lake Temple. My mom used to say that we come from good stock, so I guess that means my kids do too!
