Playing some "Catch"-Up

I can't believe I havent posted since the end of February!  We are always so busy and I also have had alot of other distractions in my life that I felt needed my attention more than my blog. But hopefully I can keep up on better especially with summer quickly approaching or maybe we will be so busy enjoying the summer that I wont have time to post again, either way I am enjoying staying busy and we are all doing well. Something new....Caleb made the FHS Baseball C-team! We are so proud of him and all of his hard work and committment to the game he loves. While he has had some ups and downs, I know he would agree that he is learning alot about baseball and about himself. As an 8th grader, you are at the bottom of the totem pole but Caleb has proven to be worth the spot of being on the team and has proven to the coaches why they chose him. A highlight that happened last week was he was playing right field, a position he has rarely ever played since playing ball and hasnt played there yet this season but he was there when a popfly was heading his way, he back peddled towards the fence, caught the ball and threw it ALL THE WAY TO HOME PLATE from right field. Not too many people can do that! The catcher caught it and we got the out. It was by far one of the best moments we have seen with Caleb. Very cool. He gets to pitch, play third and hit in the line up. He is blossoming into a really great ball player.

 

For Spring break we decided to just take it easy and hang out at home. We slept in, went bowling, ate ice cream, played games, watched movies and took a little day trip to Pagosa Springs, Co. Here are some pictures from that day. When we got there to the springs, Carly says "It smells like my eggs." Haha. It really did but was the perfect day to enjoy the springs.
