City Wrestling Tournament

LJ competed in the City Championship Tournament today. This was his first tournament. His weight class was 120lbs. There was 15 boys & 1 girl in his division. And yes he wrestled the girl and pinned her. but all in all I guess he did good. He took 6th place. Lamoni was there to yell out pointers and what moves to do, when he listened he won, good job dad!

Pinewood Derby Time!

Sebastian loves this time of year, Lamoni on the other hand does even more! I think this activity is meant for the bigger kid! Well, like always Dad is very busy and says he's going to work on it with him but as we all know it all gets completed the night before the races, until 11:30pm on a school night, I might add. Any ways it gets done and father & son are proud of their creation. Sebastian won I guess 3/4 of his races. Check out one of his wins! (his is the green one)

Update on Olivia's team

WINS = 6

LOSS = 0

Olivia has started her last 5 games and I believe has only struck out once! She been playing outfield and looks very comfortable out there. She's been hitting Awesome too!

A Wonderful Day!

On Saturday we had a pretty full day! We started out with Gaby's first softball game which she did AWESOME! She's really coming into her own. Gaby has so much potential, she tries very hard an wants to get better all the time. Good job Gaby!
Then we headed home with additional family, Andy & Esteban, Benjamin & Kiana! (Thanks for coming to the game!) And since it was a beautiful day, the kids wanted to go swimming. But as we all know the water is still very cold and do you think that detoured them? Not at all! They had fun until they got cold and turned blue.
Then we all went to the movies and watched Monsters VS. Aliens 3D, Awesome flick a must see!
But if that wasn't enough, we stopped by a little carnival by the mall. By this time I think we were quite exhausted.
It was a wonderful day :)

NO WATER, thanks to LJ

Well, again Lamoni asked LJ to put some water into the pool, because it's below the water level to run the pump. We have to do this manually until Lamoni fixes a leak (who knows when that will be!) I noticed this morning around 6am that there was no water. I then ran outside a saw the pool full to the rim and water running forming a nice big puddle. I called Lamoni told him the news and said he had told LJ to let it run for 10-15 minutes then to turn it off last night. I woke LJ nicely, YEAH RIGHT!! Lamoni said I needed to call someone to fill our tank. Of course I called my father and he came to our rescue again. He said he will have someone over in 1-2 hrs. AWESOME! I then made LJ go tell our neighbors, that it was his fault they are out of water.
I met up with the water truck driver and helped him not before I got all wet from the hose. So to satisfy my revenge on being wet I made LJ jump into the cold pool. We have had an eventful day. Check out LJ getting wet!

SIERRA VISTA SOFTBALL GAME

Lamoni & I surprised Olivia last Tuesday and traveled to Sierra Vista AZ, which is 3 1/2 hrs down south by Bisbee. We had a lot of fun! It was nice to get away for the day. Olivia did great, she had hit a single and a RBI. Final score was 8-3, Red mtn.

They also won last Friday 13th against Cibola High (Yuma) 9-0. Red Mtn. is currently 3 W -0 L

A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY!

Well most of you know I'm a dog lover and when someone says "Do want a dog?" my response is usually "sure, why not!" especially if he's a large dog like our old dog, DJ, may he rest in peace!

My next thought was why do they want to get rid of the dog? Well, I guess their Great Dane didn't like him much and the family has had him longer and are more attached to the Dane.

My second thought was will he get along with our other 2 dogs, Mi Mi & Shadow?

So we've been awaiting the arrival of , Max a French Mastiff, who arrived around 7pm. We loved him right away! He's awesome and so friendly. And yes he got along with the 2 dogs but they're a lot more aggressive than he is.

WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME, MAX!

P.S. notice in the 1 st picture that he's a as tall as the kitchen counter sitting down!
