Little update - pictures to follow!

Well.... it's been a while hasn't it!?!?! We are all doing well and keeping busy. Shea is in American Falls again working at Lucky's Restaurant. So if you are ever in AF stop in and say hi and have an ice cream or something. Bodie has just finished up baseball, but is right into football and some basketball camps. Cierra has started her softball season. And Boomer, well it's always Boomer season at our house!

After everyone got done with school - nothing but A's and B's!! Yeah! we had our big family/baseball tourney trip. This year we all (except Cierra) went to Steamboat Springs, Colorado with the Diamondbacks. Cierra decided to go to the Oregon coast with her best friend Lexy. We went to Colorado a little earlier and stayed the first 2 nights in Denver and caught a 3 game series with the Rockies and the Tampa Bay Rays! it was AWESOME. That was the first professional game I had ever been too, and it was so fun! The boys got a lot of baseballs autographed. They got Evan Longoria, BJ Upton, David Price, Jeff Niemann and lots of others that the boys knew, but I didn't. It was cool to see guys that you normally only see on Tv up close! I asked Shea if it would be ok with her if I jumped over the centerfield wall and ran out and tackled BJ Upton, but her and Buck wouldn't let me do it! I thought it would have been kinda fun - what a couple of downers!

After those couple of whirlwind days, we headed for Steamboat Springs. It was about a 3 hour drive from Denver. When we left Denver it was 86 degrees, when we got to the top of the pass (not sure of the name) it was 40 flippin degrees! We were a little worried, because we were packed for summer, not winter - cause there was still snow too!! But friday when we got up and going, the weather was beautiful and it stayed that way the whole time we were there. What a gorgeous place! Steamboat is beautiful. The condo we stayed in was gorgeous. Almost too nice for a bunch of 13 year old boys to stay in. We had to put some vases and glass decorations away in the cupboards while we were there. But it was a great trip and the baseball was great. Our boys went 6-1 and ended up with 3rd. They played some great ball. It was also very sad and bittersweet, because the last game we played was Bodie's last game with the Diamondbacks. We've been with the D-Backs for the last 3 years. Bodie and Buck have gotten to have some great experiences with this team, and we have made some great friends along the way - we are so appreciative for that one phone call from Jerry Stiffler and Jim Burrup those 3 years ago!! Thanks Jim, Jerry and all of the D-Backs!! It's been a heck of a fun ride! It was hard to come home from this trip. I am usually ready to be home, but this time, I could have stayed another couple of days.


We've had other stuff going on and this post could go on and on and on. But I will give it a rest for now. When i get home I will post some pictures for ya - cause we got a new camera too and we have so many pictures it's insane!!
