Flaming Gorge

While we were in Vernal competing at the District Level, we decided to take a drive up to Flaming Gorge hoping to take the kids on a tour inside the dam, only to find out we were too late for the tour :( We still had a lot of fun and the kids seemed to enjoy the Gorge.

State Baseball

Taylor's All-Star team traveled to Ogden to compete in the State Championship, we played 5 games and ended up in 3rd place with an invitation to compete the first week of August in the Regional Championship. Our first game will be against Arizona on the 1st of August. GO CARBON!

Look-Out Co-Ed

This year I had a thought to put together a co-ed softball team to play in a tournament, turns out there is a fall league. I started asking around and found enough players to play, I think I may have some sponsors, and our first practice will be Sunday-Go Us!

All-Star District Champs

Taylor's All-Star team traveled to Vernal/Roosevelt last weekend to compete in the 13 year old District Championship, where they took 2/3 games to win the Championship. Taylor only got up to bat once, 1 pitch, 1 hit for him, so far he's batting 1000 ;)
This weekend we get to travel to Ogden to play in the State Tournament-Go CARBON!

Taylor's Big 13

Yesterday Taylor turned the big 13. I now have 2 teenagers in the house........scary I know. For his birthday he is getting a Yamaha dirt bike which will be here next week, he is so excited, but understandably doesn't want to wait, but the bike is coming all the way from Texas. He's waited this long whats another week right? He also got some riding clothes, and his friend brought him a pretty pink flowered gift bag, with a card addressed to Taylor the Princess, in it he found a Princess book, containing stories of 4 Disney Princesses, boy was his face red....hahaha it was awesome. (I will post pics as soon as I figure out how to get them off my phone)Underneath it all was an X-Box game called Fallout New Vegas, Kolton and Taylor played it for a while last night. He has plans to go shopping sometime this weekend with Grandma and Grandpa, and is getting a Helmet. All and all I would say it was a good birthday! I Love You Son, Good Luck in all you do! I am so proud of you!

State Science Fair

At the end of March DaNell traveled to Cedar City to compete in the Regional Science Fair. She had an awesome adventure, but didn't place or move on to the International Science Fair in California. She worked really hard on her project and is thinking about working off of it and adding more to it next year....Go DaNell!
Over this last month she has become quite the little traveler, Cedar City, Moab, Green River, Layton, and is Going to Sandy in a couple weeks to compete in the State History Fair-Good Luck DaNell. She also heading to California in May/June with her dancing group to perform at Disneyland. I am so proud of her, she is doing so well and enjoying every minute of it!

FBLA-Hockey Game

Last Friday DaNell competed in the State FBLA Public Speaking Competition, in Layton. She was gone for 2 1/2 days, she did well on her speech, but ended up not placing and going on to finals on Friday. She had a fun time and enjoyed her new experiences.
We had plans to go to the Grizzlies Hockey Game on that Friday before we knew she was going to state, I made arrangements to leave here early and pick her up in Layton before the awards at the competition. The boys and I left here around 10 and headed for Layton, thanks to my new "smart phone" I used the navigation and it took me right to my destination. After picking her up, we headed back to SL, got checked into out hotel and the kids went swimming for a bit, before heading over to Golden Corral for dinner then off to the Hockey Game. The Grizzlies ended up losing 3-1 but the game was packed with fights. We had a ball.
On Saturday, we went to a birthday party for my sisters twins, Zaden and Zaric. We had a good time and even scored some hair flairs :) Then we ventured home. Sunday we were pretty lazy, didn't get a whole lot accomplished. But oh, well such is life sometimes.
Here's to our next adventure! Planning a trip to Colorado Springs in June, depending on Baseball schedules and such.
