The Golden Glove

I don't usually post things but I had to brag about my wife for a second. We've started playing in a co-ed softball league for Logan City and it has been a lot of fun. Nicky played softball growing up but likes to pretend that she isn't good. Don't let her fool you. Tonight she was playing 2nd Base when this monster of a man came up to bat. I shall call him 'Godzilla'. Godzilla had all ready scored twice and had done so by hitting the ball so hard that I was waiting for the skin to come off the ball like on Sandlot (I can't post a blog without mentioning a movie). Anyway, Godzilla hits this ball at Mach 3 speed directly at my precious wife. Much to our disbelief, Nicky reaches out across her body and the ball smashes into her glove releasing a cloud of dirt. Godzilla couldn't believe it. If that wasn't cool enough, she then quickly throws it back to first base for the double play. It was amazing. The only other time I've seen a catch like that is in Major League Baseball. She definilty has the play of the game. Reason number 1,205,201 why I love her!

Mom's are great!

A couple of weeks ago we went down to visit our families for Mother's Day. We spent Saturday at my parents house. My mom and I decided to go to 'The Holy Cow Boutique.' We found a really great sign that says Spring. I love the bright colors, it really makes it feel like Spring, even if it isn't quite like that in Logan yet. I had such a great time hanging out with my mom. Patrick says all the time that we are so much alike and I am really glad for that. I love hanging out with my mom because we like to do many of the same things. I know that she will always have the answer and she is there to listen to me...even when I have nothing to say. I love you more than...

Good Times at Work!

We always have fun times at work, but Friday was a little different. Dale and Dusti were cleaing up some items in a field behind the building I work in when Dale found a lovely garden snake. Thinking he could come in and scare all of us girls, he brought it in...little did he know we would all be fine and even want to hold it. It was nice to have a little break from actually "working" and play around. Here's a picture of me...thanks Krista for having your camera all ready:)

The Joys of Being an Adult

Have you ever noticed that when tax return season comes, there are so many things you can think of to do with the "extra money," but then something always seems to come up. Well, this year we decided that we would just not think of the many fun things we could be spending our money on and just plan on getting our car back in shape. We bought our car about two years ago and soon after buying it, both of the back windows broke.(they would not roll up or down) Cardboard has helped us to fix this problem and we figured two years was long enough. So we planned on using some of our tax return to fix the windows. When Patrick took the car in, they had to order in the motor, which was about one inch long and cost a small fortune. So...we drove around for a few days with our car doors looking like this. The next week we decided it was time to get our windshield replaced as well. It is almost time to get our car inspected and we will have to replace the windshield, so what better time then now. This is our car looking oh so great. We took it to Preston Watts Glass and they did a great job. They even vacuum the car and clean all the dust off the dashboard and doors. It feels like I am driving a whole new car. I must say that I feel really blessed to be able to fix up our car.

MMM! MMM! GOOD!!

A few weeks ago we had a linger longer at my ward. Our Bishops wife made tons of homemade wheat bread. She had leftover wheat that she had ground up and I was able to take some home. I am not usually one to like wheat bread, but this was really good, so I got her recipe. I have made white bread a couple of times, but it has never really worked as well as when my mom makes it. I only had enough wheat to do three loaves using half wheat flour and half white flour. I was so excited when the finished product came out I had to take some pictures. It was delicious. I will definitely be making this bread again.
