Program and Baseball and Birthday

Bexlee performed in the 2nd grade musical program.  
Can you see her in the middle with her "hands"?
It was great - see part of it here

 

Then we headed to Hurricane and St. George for Payson's baseball games.   While we were there, we stopped at Hobby Lobby to get THIS GIRL some presents for her 8th birthday that was coming up.

Kissy Faces

I took the girls to Spilsbury Mortuary to see the awesome statue there.
I explained to them that when we die in old age, we live in heaven with our Savior in our PRIME, as represented by this statue. They wanted to know what PRIME was.  I told them about their mom and dad's age (30's).

After the games - Sweet family and Grandpa Roger

Grandpa LOVES baseball :) 

Championship team :) 

While the BOY plays (baseball), the GIRLS PLAY TOO !!!

We sure had a fun time hanging out with the girlies while Payson played ball.  I took about a "jillion" pics and videos, and condensed it down to THIS GEM.

 

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!"

Vacation Time !!

Roger and I and my sister Erika left on Friday, February 21st and drove to Vegas, where Erika and I saw Donny Osmond in concert !  It was excellent.  Thank you Kuk :)
We dropped her off at the airport early Saturday morning, then Rog and I headed to AZ !!! 

This was where we got to see our Arizona grandkids, Cash and Cam.
It was great to see Manda, Bren, and Josiah too (haha)
Amanda is just about 2 1/2 weeks recovered from her 2nd hip replacement, and is doing so well, I almost forget she had it done !!

 

We headed back to Vegas and Mesquite, and on the way we hiked in the Valley of Fire State Park, a couple of days later we hiked in Zions National Park also.  Roger humored me, and I really love and appreciate his support in the things I want to do. 

I also went to the new Red Cliffs Temple in Washington, and the Las Vegas Temple too. 

Our last two days were spent in St. George and Hurricane, watching Payson play baseball, and hanging out with these cuties !  

Pays is such a great ball player, and we love to watch him and give him our support.
He turned 13 years old while we were there !!!  

We got home on Saturday, March 1st.  We haven't had that long of a vacation since our Hawaiian Cruise in October of 2007.  We had a great time, but are glad to be home.
