Bryce Canyon

A few weeks ago my Mom and Jeff were going to be in Escalante...so we all decided that we would drive over to Bryce Canyon and meet up with my Mom there and spend the day with her. We went along with my Grandma Marshall, sister Sandi and her daughter Preslie, and sister Tiffanie and her family. We had a fun day exploring Bryce and hanging out. We haven't been there since our honeymoon almost 14 years ago. 

At Old Bryce Town...

 The whole gang-minus the photographer-(me)

Exploring the Canyon...

Cupcake Helpers

The other day I had to make cupcakes for our ward party. Bryce and Preslie "helped" me.

 I let them taste the beaters from the frosting-Preslie love them and licked hers clean. Bryce wouldn't even try his-but he did eat some of one of the cupcakes that was cooked. It remind me of the nursery rhyme Jack Sprat 'so betwixt the two of them they licked the platter clean'. LOL

Baseball Video Bryce

Since I was posting baseball/softball updates from the other kids I thought I might as well include Bryce. He already knows how to swing the bat and will put the ball on the tee and hit it off. Here is a video of a sweet hit he got the other day while we were outside playing.

Baseball Games 6, 7, 8, 9

Game 6-Tanner sat the bench for an inning (lol), and played third and pitched. He played well but the team they were playing is a really great team-a lot of Tanner's friends happen to be on that team-so it was a tough game for him. Anyways his team lost.

 Game 7-Tanner got a nice double. He pitched an awesome game. His team won.

Game 8-Tanner batted lead off-he walked his first at bat and struck out the next two. He caught the whole game and did an awesome job behind the plate making sure people weren't scoring on past balls or dropped third strikes. This was his first time catching this year, so his legs were pretty sore afterwards. His team won by 1 point.

Game 9-Tanner got an awesome hit his first at bat, and scored runs his first and second at bat. He caught the first two innings and did really well with that. He pitched the next two innings and really struggled-he also struck out his last at bat so kind of a rough second half of the game. His team lost.

Splash Pad or Not

Last week we decided to go to the splash pad...I thought Bryce would like it since he usually likes the water. Well he kind of played in it a little bit until he found a tennis ball...and then this is what he thought of the water-get me out of it-

 and let me get back to my game of wall ball-

(Note to self-if going to a splash pad leave all balls at home-haha)

Preslie was with us too and she didn't care for the water one bit-she wouldn't even touch it at all without screaming-ugh it might be a long summer with these two ;)
