Easter Fun!

We had a relaxing weekend - much needed. We met with the Big Gooch family for the fun "easter egg hunt" I like getting this over on Sat. So Sunday we can concentrate more on the Atonement. We had a picnic in the front yard and hung out all day! It was great!

Life is Tough - I'll doubt I'll make it out alive!

Another good read by Doug's cousin Stacey Gooch Anderson. We really have come to enjoy Stacey's writings. First of all her son is my daughter's best friend. Their family is so fun and down to earth - they are a great model of how to just laugh at life! Also, Carson adores Stacey. Carson loves to read and someday . . . (now this is probably on of 100 dreams and goals) would like to become a writer. She loves to pick Stacey's brain and know how everything comes together. So when this book came, Carson and I had to fight who was to read first. Great Mother's day gift!

Disneyland

This week I had a chance to take off for a few days and meet one a my great friends Carolyn. We met at Disneyland and took our kids around for a few days. I only took Baylie and Will - they are the younger of each gender and sometimes I think that the older kids seem to get more attention.  Not on purpose - but they have stronger personalities - it just naturally seems that way.  So I really wanted to them to know how important they are to me and give them my undivided attention.  We had a great time.  Hanging with the Garrik kids was so fun too!  They are such darling kids - all them hung out so well!  It was wonderful to hang with such a wonderful friend that ALWAYS makes me feel good about myself! Thanks Carolyn for being a great friend and always giving me the boost & support I need!!!

Tradition to buy "Mickey" bread!

Baseball Season GALL

We just had Tucker's opening day for baseball - it was so fun to have it at the "Field of Dreams!"



It's fun having both Doug and Tucker out there - they have the same stance - I often would look down into the dug-out and see them with the same mannerisms it was great.

Last minute coaching from coach dad, before he bats!

Keep your eye on the ball!

I love how they teach the guys how to steal a base - he came in and stole home!

I love this picture - we are going to make a poster out of this!

Red Soxs

They didn't win - he doesn't look to happy does he.  They didn't do so bad for their first game. Bummer - some one has to lose right?

But at least they had good sportsmanship - "Good Game!"
