Tennis, anyone?




This past saturday Logan started his private tennis lessons. He was very excited to learn a new sport. He's gone from soccer, to Tae kwon do, to basketball, and now tennis. I honestly don't mind that he tries new things, as long as he keeps trying. As he and I stood and watched some people play on the court we were waiting for before his lesson started he watched with awe at the power these people hit that ball. He told me, "yep ,mom, I think this is my sport!" I laughed inside myself, just proud of his confidence. It also helped that his instructor was pretty. She's from Macedonia. She told me he has great eye/hand coordination, and learns quickly. Of course I knew that!! We are scheduled for the next 6 weeks, and Logan couldn't be more thrilled! So watch out, Wimbleton here we come!!

Award, Home Runs (sort of), and Easter!






















Well, crazy busy was our week. To mix in with the crazy was the back to school thing. We've been off the month of March....so nice! But now we need to get our grooves back into the art of routine. Homework, carting children back and forth, reading logs, making lunches etc. Ohhh, it hurts my brain. Then in the midst of all that we had the Cub Scout Blue and Gold dinner and pack meeting. Christian is our Cub master, and several others put on a very nice evening. Dalin was so excited to go he kept telling me "this will be the best night...EVER!" Logan earned 3 awards this last month. Well on his way to achieving his goal of earning the Arrow of Light which is the highest a Cub Scout can earn. Logan's ultimate is to earn his Eagle. Then on saturday we went to Dalin's first T-ball game. I have to say it is sweet to watch. Dalin did great, and managed to hit the ball and get on base and made it all the way around. We haven't really explained to him that every body gets a chance to hit and run the bases. Yeah, maybe we're not entirely honest, but I wouldn't burst his bubble to save my life. After the game we grabbed some lunch hurried home to catch an hour of conference, the boys rushed out to get haircuts, and then came home in time for Christian to leave for the priesthood session. We did color our eggs the night before. So when we woke on Easter the Easter bunny had done what he does best. We then were able to eat our cinnamon rolls, and watch conference and just "be"! I love this time of year to reflect on my Savior and listen to conference. Although, it snowed and was frigid cold, we still felt the warmth of having family around and eat yummy things. Isn't that why we have holidays? So we can eat? Just kidding!! Enjoy some of the pictures of the past week. They may or may not be in order, I'm new at this so cut me some slack!
