T-ball in Idaho

haha, I am a little behind on my blog. In June I wasn't working much one week so I decided to take a quick trip up to Idaho so I could watch a couple of Owen and Wesley's T-ball games. Kevin and Becky were great hosts as usual and I had a great, relaxing, fun couple of days. I left after work Monday morning and caught the end of one of Owen's game. On Tuesday Wes had a game then I stayed to watch a full game of Owen's on Wednesday before coming home.

Wesley playing 3rd base. For each hit he would chase after the ball no matter where it was hit, and when someone else got to the ball first

he would plop down disappointed on the ground...it was adorable.

He also kept giving me the thumbs up from the dugout.

Monday evening we went to the Manwarings for family home evening.

Madalyn had fun playing outside and hiding in the lilac bushes.

Owen ready for bat. When he was first in line he was up and ready to go even though the other team wasn't even out on the field yet.

Owen as catcher.

Quick Visit to Idaho in January

About the first thing Maddy did was put on my purse and walk around the house...

too bad I couldn't get a clear picture.

I drove up by myself the last weekend in January to visit Kevin and Becky's family. It was a nice relaxing weekend and it was fun to play with the kids.

Christmas 2009 with Kevin's Family

For actual Christmas Day we went up to Idaho to spend it with Kevin and Becky's family. Thanks for having us! It was a lot of fun:)

Staci's purple afghan I crocheted for her. She knew she was getting one but was surprised I had it finished by Christmas! I made the whole thing in one week (plus a couple hours two days later)

Batman...aka Wesley

Rosanne and Madalyn

My brother-in-law Kyle helped make the Christmas turkey...it was very good. I loved the bacon on top:)

Labor Day Weekend in Idaho

Rosanne and I drove up to Idaho Labor Day weekend to visit Kevin and Becky. Our new niece Madalyn Jane was blessed that Sunday by her dad and assisted with tons of uncles.

I had a hard time choosing the best takes, so I just put all the pictures up!

Wesley is such a charmer!
