24-7!

What happened to our Utes?! The first game of the season against Oregon State was not a pretty one. Was anyone else as disappointed as we were? What with two of our top players out and all, we may be in for a loooooong season. Let's hope not. Maybe we can pray for help...wait--that's what the BYU fans would do! Ha ha, just kidding. Hopefully our season will just improve from here. Next week, Air Force, here we come!

(Benjamin didn't like the game, either.)

So this is my first attempt at posting on our blog. All is going well with our family! Alan and I are still learning so much about being parents. Ben is growing and making us smile every day. I love staying home with him.

It's weird knowing that school at APA has started and I'm not there anymore. To all of my former students: I miss you! I had so much fun teaching you over the past two years! Keep practicing and having a blast playing with Mr. Dye. And make sure you write to me on my blog! I'll stop by and visit occasionally throughout the year. I have to say, though, that although I miss teaching, I have no regrets about being at home with Ben. Being a mom is the best job in the world!

Benjamin and Alan at Ben's third baseball game in three months! This one was on his three-month birthday.

"I love baseball!"

Benjamin with Allison before the game. (Sam and Amy, he loves his hat!)

Ben with some of his cousins!

Here is Ben with his cousins Xoie, and Spencer. Xoie is one month younger and Spencer is 6 weeks younger. 6 weeks makes quite the difference!

Trent is holding Ben at Primary Children's. Trent is wearing his "Chicks dig Pink" T-shirt that he uses to flirt with the nurses.
