Jake's Soccer Game vs. Bear River

   

   
     Morgan vs. Bear River. Although the game didn't go quite in Morgan's favor, it was still a hard-fought game. Jake scored a couple of times, and I was able to get one of them on film :)

     And now, for Jake's goal (and credit Josh with the assist, of course). It was pretty awesome if I do say so myself :)

Softball: Morgan vs. Northridge

     On the 26th Mollie and the Lady Trojans played against Northridge. Seven full innings were played, and Morgan made a mad dash for comebacks in the last couple of innings, but still fell 15-13. However, it was the most fun game that I have watched the girls play this season, so I wanted to highlight it! Here are a few of the shots that I got that were good:

Addie

Chandler...SAFE!

Paige

     And Mollie actually got to hit this game! She is now playing in center field and she was SO excited that she was able to bat because she has been playing as Flex while Paige hit for her as DP. BTW: she did UH-mazing!!!

     I even got a couple of videos of her batting. She's way better at it than I ever was! :)

Background story: the score was 11-6 in the bottom of the 6th with two outs and a runner on third. Without a score, the game would be over due to the 5 after 6 run rule. This is what happens:

Although she should have been called out on this one, the umpire was blind or something we were able to get a rally going again :)

SO proud of my baby sis!

Swimming, Sunshine, Softball, and St. George

     As per tradition, my mom and I headed south last weekend (13th-16th) for the annual March Warm-Up softball tournament in St. George. Mollie made the softball team this year and got to go with the Varsity team! I was one proud sister :) Mom and I went down a couple of days early and we stayed with some friends that have a house down there. Let me just say that I had a BLAST playing with all of their little munchkins! There was a 6-year old, a 3-year old, a 2-year old, and two little ones that are both 18 months. We had a rockin' good time drawing chalk pictures on the sidewalk, riding bikes/scooters, playing football and tag, and going swimming. Yes-they did wear me out, but I loved it! I also found out that Emily is a Ketchup lover...:)

     Mom and I went to the St. George temple for a session. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty tired (we never slept all that great) and almost fell asleep during the session, but I made it! It was nice to go through with my momma again.

   
     On Friday and Saturday I spent hours in the blazing heat watching Miss Mollie play some killer right field!  They only won one game, but the team got some great experience and bonded as a group! They also went to one of the girls on the team's aunt's house for dinner and some games. Oh boy, did THAT get crazy! I haven't laughed that hard in a while! Well, I got a great tan and got to watch my baby sis play some ball. What better way to spend my weekend?!

My Weekend In Rexburg

   
     On the weekend of the 8th-10th I had the pleasure of driving up to Rexburg, Idaho to stay with my dear sister Micquellyn. It was a long drive, but I was so excited to see my dear sister! The first night we were there, my dear sister and I went to dinner at Applebees and had a great time! It was great to catch up! We enjoyed some yummy dessert at Coldstone and that night we had the opportunity to go and clean the Rexburg temple. It was so awesome! I got to clean the second floor, which is the best floor of the temple :)
     The next day we went into Idaho Falls to go do a session at the temple there. It turned out to be a Spanish session, which was way cool. I had to read the subtitles most of the time, but the Spirit was still there. The coolest part, though, was that we got to do a sealing session afterwards. It was  such a tender moment with my dear sister.

     We did some shopping and got some food, then headed back to Rexburg. We watched a movie called, The Letter Writer. TOTALLY recommend it! Very touching (and it's not a super churchy show, just a feel-good show). Funny part of the night is that we ordered pizza. Well, the fools that were cooking didn't know that we only wanted cheese on one half and didn't put anything on it! For real! It was a half marinara sauce pizza...what the weird???

     On Sunday we went to church and that is the first time I have ever gone to church in a school. All of the meetings were really good, but testimony meeting was super powerful! Got to love the Single's Ward! We called mama Sandey after church for her birthday, and then took a much-needed Sunday nap.

     Well, as all good things do, my amazing weekend had to come to an end. I left Rexburg and my dear sister to make the long trek home. I am so blessed to have been able to visit my sister Micquellyn, and to have had the amazing weekend that I did!

Driving Miss...MOLLIE?!

   
     This has taken me a little while to post, but my baby sister (who is not so much a baby anymore) just turned 15! That's right folks, she can now legally obtain a permit and get behind the wheel of a car! Maybe it's a good thing I'm leaving now? Anywho, the morning of the 27th dad made crepes and she opened her presents. However, because of school/softball/soccer/mutual we couldn't really do anything that night (except me, I went to the Jazz game!).

     Since we were super busy  the day of, we went to Applebees the Saturday night after. We had a blast! Since we had time to kill waiting for our table Mollie, Jake, dad, and I went over to Sportsman's Warehouse. We all found some particularly attractive hats which presented this photo op:

Yes, we're sexy and we know it.

     The dinner was particularly good, and we wasted no time in telling the waitress it was Mollie's birthday! Who wouldn't pass up a free dessert, after all?

   As you can tell, I had some good fun with Mollie at the end of the clip. Love my little "strawberry" blonde. :)

     I can't believe my baby sis is all growed up! I love you to pieces babe!

And though she may kill me for this picture, I couldn't resist:
