Worst call in Major League Baseball history

I've (Tim) been watching baseball for over 20 years of my life and never remember seeing a call as bad as the one that was made today against the Atlanta Braves shortstop Yunel Escobar. I paused my TV, took out the camera and got this picture. Are you sitting down? The runner in this picture was called OUT by the umpire you see!!! Yes, that is the baseball to the left of the screen. It was a bunt play and the pitcher fielded it and threw it to first. I'm still speechless. Sorry to polute Kara's blog but this injustice had to be made known.

What a Sass

What happened to my sweet little angel? Jacie has turned into such a sassy girl. She doesn't listen to a word I say and she talks back all the time. Needless to say, she has been spending more and more time in time out. It isn't only me that she has such attitude with it happens to Tim also. The other night we were eating dinner, or fighting to get her to eat dinner when Tim said with a stern voice "just eat your dinner." Jacie's reply, full of attitude was "well you just go pop your zits!!" What a girl! We love her though.

Party Time

THE CAKE

THE MESS!

We had a little family party to celebrate this little guys birthday. At first he wasn't too sure about the cake but once he had a bite of the frosting he was off, and I gave him his own spoon! He has inherited my love of chocolate! So much for the bib, he had frosting all over his pants, shirt, arms and face. I think the only place he managed to keep clean was his hair. Thanks to aunt Connie for making your amazing cupcakes. They are to die for!

Happy Birthday Maddux

My little Maddux is 1! This year has gone so fast. It seems like he has been with us for awhile but I can't believe its been a year. Maddux brings so much joy to our home. He is such a happy and mellow guy.

Some things that I love about Maddux:

• His smile
• How he wrinkles his nose
• How he loves his sister and wants to do what she is doing
• How he crosses his legs
• How he is a mommas boy
• How he bites - actually no, not at all!
• How he loves to be cuddled
• How sweet he is and how he fits into our family
  

Maddux I love you!

Easter

Well, I finally downloaded our pictures from Easter. It was great. We went to Manti for the annual city egg hunt. They have it at the city park and they rope off areas for different age groups. Then they dump candy and eggs and all sorts of stuff everywhere. Of course the biggest area is the youngest age. They have everyone line up around the outside and then say go. It was a blast. Jacie ran off on her own and managed to fill her basket. I helped Maddux and he did well also, of course he got all the good candy!! He did start to put some of the candy in the basket if I gave it to him.

Round 2! Later that afternoon my parents had another egg hunt for the grand kids. Jacie, being the oldest was on the run, she even stole eggs from her cousins that they were about to get! All in all we got a TON of candy and the kids had a great time. The Easter Bunny even made the trip to Manti!!
