More Space Station fun

I don't get it, but these boys sure do.  Something to do with online gaming. 

Landon is sure a sport :) 

 

Kings Peak Hike

On July 25th and 26th and 27th - These two were supposed to hike Kings Peak.  The highest point in Utah.  But then plans changed.

See that mountain in the very middle, in the far background?  That's King's Peak.  See Payson in the foreground?  After he and Landon and Kacey and the other hiked into "base camp" on Friday, in preparation for Saturday's summit, Pays and Lando got sick with back colds, so they ended up staying back at "basecamp" while the others went ahead with the hike. 

Not feeling the best 

This was the day before (Friday)
Landon, Kacey, Payson and friend. 

This is the whole group who planned on making the Summit.  

Probably a sheep herder's dog?  They are the best. 

Sick boy 

First day. 

There's a smile :) 

Quite the trooper  - even with a broken wrist. 

 

Payson gets a "break", and not a good one.

Payson broke his wrist at Young Men's camp :(
He fell off a zip line.
It looks like he needs to wait a week or two before casting, to let the swelling go down, and then be in a cast for 4-6 weeks.  He will not need surgery.

We are sorry he won't get to mow with Roger and the boys :(
Get well soon Pays !! 

 

Baseball has started !

 

We've got three grandkids playing

Thatcher is playing for Morgan's recreation team.  Their first game was in Park City.  Thatcher is the catcher.  Here's a video of some of his plays 

Payson plays competition baseball, his team is Venom, based out of Farmington.  Here's a video of a few of his hits. 

Bexlee is playing machine pitch.  She is on a team with Darrin Frost's grand-daughter.  Click here for video.

Payson (far left) - made the baseball team at Mountain View Junior High
His games are Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the team is playing pretty good.
We wish he could get more playing time, but it will come, and he's keeping a good attitude. 

 

He's also on the Venom competition team, and the other night the team were the Champions.......... thanks to our boy !!  Watch the video here !! 

Grandpa LOVES baseball :) 

Championship team :) 

Payson loves Baseball :)

The first day they played was Payson's 13th birthday.
His tooth was hurting when he drank water, or the cold air blew on it.
They took him to the dentist after his first two games on Friday. 

He is an awesome catcher, just like his dad ! 

We love love love to watch him play :) 

 

Looked alot better the 2nd day. 

We left after the first game on Saturday, dang it we missed his double.
Landon said, "He ripped a double in the gap that the outfielders couldn't get to.  Rolled to the fence.  He was stoked!"
