..all good things must come to an end..

..renegade update..

after a week of driving an hour each way for the tournament, baseball has finally come to an end. (yeah!) we made it to the championship game, but ended up loosing by one {1} point. it was a heartbreaking way to end. all the boys played well, but it's tough to loose! here are a few pics. of mason...

..tahoe rim trail...50 mile hike..

..go renegades..

mason starts his tournament today. we are all very excited. this is his first year playing on an all star team. go get 'em mason!

..to play or not to play..

last years all-star team(not a very good pic.)

dallin had a tough decision to make on sunday.
he was selected again to play on the all-star team,
which started practices this week, with their first game
on wednesday. this happens to be the same week that
he has been preparing for a 50 mile hike at Lake Tahoe.
he was really looking forward to going on this as well. for
those of you who don't know dallin, he lives for baseball.
the kid is addicted. if he's not outside playing it, he is in watching
highlights on sports center, or reading updates on the internet.
long story short, he had to make a decision: baseball or the hike.
after some tears (and really wanting to do both) he decided that
he had many years of baseball still ahead of him, so he opted to
go on the hike. he will be hiking 10 miles a day, with a backpack
that weighs 21 lbs.! i'm hoping he has a good experience and makes
lifetime memories. the scenery alone at lake tahoe beats looking at
a baseball diamond! (in my opinion) i think you made a good choice
d-man!

..happy birthday malorie..

i can't believe that our little malie is 5 yrs. old today.
she has grown up way too fast! every day with malorie
is an adventure! she is always on the go. we've been to
the ER two different times for sutures (should have been
3, but one cut was underneath her chin, so we went with
the butterfly bandage)
she is very aware of peoples emotions, and doesn't like it
when you're feeling sad.
she is a joy to have in our family and is always making us laugh
with the funny things she says. we love you malorie...happy birthday!

..graduation celebrations..
