Today was Blake's 8th Birthday and his Baptism. What a wonderful day!! We had a lot of family and visitors today and he had a lot of fun. The baptism was a great experience and had a wonderful spirit. We are so blessed to have Blake in our family. He is just so sweet and tender. It's great to be eight! All of Curt's family were able to make it and so were Kelly & Tom. Blake is now getting ready for is first cub scout meeting on Tuesday
and a scout camp at the end of June.

Here are a few more things we've been doing. Cole loves the computer he plays until he passes out. Hannah & Blake did great at their swim meet in Rawlins and Blake & Curt caught a few big ones out of the Ham's Fork.

Hannah and Lisa had a great trip with the third grade class to the zoo in Salt Lake City. Despite the freezing rain and the long bus ride it was really fun because the animals were very active. You can see the leopard pacing right in front of Hannah. She also got a greeting from the cougar which was quite interesting.

Baseball has officially taken over our lives. Hannah & Blake play for the Pirates and are having a great time. They are doing very well and get to play a variety of positions. Blake's favorite is catcher. They use a pitcher for half of the game and a pitching machine for the other half. Both are hitting great and Blake even got a triple the other day. He also stole home and made a great slide to beat the throw. We love being out at the ball field inspite of rain, wind and even snow!

Cole had a few fun activites with pre-school. First was his program where he sang songs and danced his little heart out. Second was a field trip to the walking trail and river. And third was his end of the year picnic at the park. He loves pre-school and looks forward to one more year there.

Well, it has been a while since my first blog so this may be a little long. We have been busy and now that school is out things should hopefully slow down a bit. The last month of school was a busy one. The kids started swim club again, so that means 3 practices a week. We are planning on making it to 4 swim meets this summer and hopefully making it to state in July. The kids are most excited about the end of the year party at Raging Waters (a water park in Salt Lake).

We have only had a few days of good weather, so we snuck in a few pictures on one of them.
