Kris
Parker’s drawing of Kris. The photo doesn’t do it justice. It really looks nice and he hung it on his door.

Lexi B-Day Presents
Lexi opening her birthday presents. Sheer joy. She had a great day and loved all of her presents.
A few days ago Kris and I took her to her birthday dinner. She picked the old spaghetti factory. She thought she was so grown up and would tell everyone she saw that she was having a birthday. I think her favorite part was them singing happy birthday to her.
Lexi is a great little girl. We love her tons.

Cassidy loves Trax!
Cassidy was riding home from camp on Trax when the train took the corner too fast. Several people smashed up against her and she fell forward and off to the side. Her foot went through the door of the train and out onto the pavement.
The train just kept going. Her friends were screaming and hollering and Cassidy was trying to get them to get off of her so she could get her foot back into the train. By the time she got her foot back inside she lost her shoe and fell victim to some truly nasty road-rash.
Her friends were hysterical, but she remained pretty calm throughout. Several passengers complained to the train driver but he really didn’t care. She got it cleaned up a bit and continued riding the train home. She didn’t go straight home but came up to my work on the bus to show me and have me take her home. The funny thing was that the bus driver wasn’t going to let her ride the bus without a shoe on her foot. Cassidy’s friend threw a fit at the driver, explaining that it was the transit authority’s fault that she didn’t have a shoe on her foot. In the end she made it to my office – I took the picture and the rest is history.
Cassidy did really well until we sprayed the antibiotic spray on her, then she screamed bloody murder.
She is a great kid. I feel awful that she got hurt. Hopefully this will qualify her for Mare’s “scar book”.
Isn’t public transportation great?

Pocatello Day One Wrap
From Pocatello everything is perfect – except for the cold, windy, and sometimes rainy / snowy weather. T’s team beat the Bear River Bears 14-2 and the Blaze 18-0. Everything that could go well did go well. Tanner is starting to hit the ball hard again. His confidence is rising. The team is on a roll and is having a blast. Jon Jon came up with us and has been a very positive and good influence for Tanner.
Baseball was great. The hot tub was great. The hotel is great. Golden Corral is great (although my body is currently debating the Golden Corral thing).
Life is about as good as it gets for an 11-year old baseball boy.
Things at home are not going so well. It has been a hard day to say the very least and I’m very worried. We need some help and it is not working out so well. I hope and pray for a better day tomorrow.
We have to be at the field around 7:00 am tomorrow. I need some sleep. Tanner and Jon are already crashed out. It is my turn next. Onward and upward. We’ll take this all one day at a time.

Abigail’s 3rd B-Day
Well, Abigail is now three. She can show you the fingers and everything. She just had the time of her life. She talked people into giving her cookies, a brownie, a box of twinkies, and 35 cents. I don’t know how she does it other than that she is so dang cute.
We went to McDonalds for dinner and she didn’t hardly eat anything – my guess is she ate too much sugar all day long. She just felt and acted like the little princess all day long. She was pretty pooped by bed time and didn’t give us any grief at all when we put her to bed. Tomorrow may be another story however….

Another Video – Kids in the Park
I decided to give the video another shot. This time it is some of the snapshots of the kids in the park playing around. I like the effect of this one a little better. If nothing else they are interesting.
Spring is not here – slideshow
This is a video generated by animoto with some of my pictures from the Sacred Grove. It turned out decent for a first try. I ought to play with it a bit more.
Spring is definitely not here yet. We woke up with snow on the ground again. I guess that winter isn’t quite ready to give it up yet.
