T-ball

I got to coach Luke and RJ again in T-ball this year. Luke improved a lot from last year and loved to play. RJ on the other hand wanted badly to play last year so I signed him up so I didn't have to deal with him crying about not getting a turn. I should have stuck with the reverse psychology method and told him he couldn't play because telling him it was his turn just turned him off and he had no desire to play. So he didn't. He still looked cute in his hat though
Luke was my little homerun king

Happy Birthday Misti

I have been a big fat slacker in the blogging department and I feel guilty that it is my sisters birthday and I am just now remembering that I have not stuck with my tradition to do a Birthday post for her. (and she is so easy to write about). So here goes. . .

A few of my favorite memories/things about MISTI
1. The summer we lived together in Aunt Ada's trailer. (So many stories, so little time).
2. All the laughs we had at Dr. Heideman's, such as, Tai bo - ER, our "Holiday raps", and lots of mishaps with the hemostats.
3. Road trips to Tooele, trying to snag a handful of sunflowers while traveling at ridiculous speeds. And then our trip to Henderson where she almost killed as she skidded half way through the intersection. It is so hard to decide weather to stop at a red light or not.
4. And finally, Kory's favorite story of her standing in front of her college Relief society, as the Relief society president, and trying to deliver a motivational speech on getting visiting teaching done by saying, "We gotta quite jackin' off and get it done". It is her sweet naive personality that thought there was nothing wrong with that statement. Too bad the rest of the group was not that naive.
I am so glad that Misti decided to move closer to us, we love having her just a few minutes away. She is always so good to help with my kids all the time, even though I know it is not the easiest task I could ask from her. She is so good to them and they love to be with her. She is good at so many things that it is sometimes hard to have her as the "little sister" that outshines you all the time. She just makes me try harder to do a little better.
She is also willing to join me in my adventures that I rope her into, T-ball, Volleyball tournaments etc. . .
I am thankful to have her as my sister and one of my best friends!


Happy Birthday MISTI!!!
