Skyley started fast pitch softball a couple weeks ago. She is the starting pitcher. The team has lost 3 games in extra innings and won one game so far. Skyley has had a ruff time with this because last year they won every game. Benny and Baylee hang out in the dug out because they are just part of the team.

Ben is the coach again this year and Shane Allman the assistant. The coaches aren't taking losing these games well either.

Grandma Linda came to watch Sky's game. I think I blocked her view most the game standing in front of the fence. I get almost more nervous then the players!!

Sky waiting to bat.

Skyley is a great hitter. In this league it is hard to get someone who can throw a strike so she usually gets walked. She hit this right down center line and we should have scored the game winning run. The girl coming into home did not slide and she was our third out causing us to go into extra innings.

Skyley is our 2nd batter on the line up. Olivia is 4th. The 1st game she hit a grand slam, she has not done much since!

Baylee is just cheering on her team!

This is Skyley pitching . She has a fast arm for such a little thing.

Baylee just started her 2nd year of coach pitch a couple weeks ago. She loves playing softball and is very good too. Here she is running into home! I think this is a picture of Baylee batting but our security is blocking it. Hopefully you guys can see it.

Baylee is hanging out in the shade, waiting to get up to bat. Ben was filling in as coach.



Again, I think this is a picture of Baylee batting.


Doesn't she look happy to be there??

Baylee likes to play 1st base. One game she got 6 outs. She is a great 1st baseman and quite the little slugger!!!

Ben Jr. 2nd Birthday

Benny had a fun party. We went to the discovery park by Grandma LuLu's house. Benny was more interested in the balls then trying to blow out his candles. He got very spoiled by everyone. After eating and opening presents, he played tennis with daddy and Uncle Sam. The girls took Abby over to play on the playground. We did not play very long because we all wanted to watch the Jazz playoff game. They ended up losing the series that night. His birthday is May 16. My cameras date is way off!
















Mother's day 2008

The kids woke me up to thier own little cheering section. It was the cutest thing. We went over to Ben's parent's for a BBQ. Derek was pitching to Skyley in the back yard.

We watched the Jazz playoff game before coming over. They won in overtime with Ben and Bennie cheering them on.

Ben's dad was cooking the steaks while Big and little Ben supervised.

Skyley was practicing hitting. Baylee and Maleah are in the backgroung playing catch.

Sam, Abby, Skyley and Baylee are getting ready to chow down.
