Baseball and Sunshine 2 of my favorite things (read the fun details about our baseball trip to St. Geezy)

but my most favorite thing is being married to this guy!

We wouldn't be having this much fun without the awesome baseball players who play Cowboys baseball. This is just a few.

What a great weekend, sitting in the sun and enjoying a great game of baseball with family and friends.

Jeff and Krista Hutchins have been the angels in the outfield for the past 4 or 5 years. Every year when we go down to St. George for baseball they feed the baseball team, coaches and families a wonderful dinner. Thanks to the Hutchins for their kind generosity, we love you guys!

The Bus: bahaha!!! The boys are use to having the best of the best but not this time. As coach Anderson described it as the bus from the movie major league. It looked like it came out of the 1970's. The air conditioning was a hole in the ceiling, it shook as it reached 50 miles an hour and it had black smoke streaming out of it. We were just relieved to have the boys arrive at each destination.lol

The Cowboys sure did end the weekend on a high. They had 2 great wins against Wasatch and Carbon. That made for happy coaches, happy baseball players and happy fans.

High School Sweethearts

The first time I noticed Loren was on a baseball field when he was 15. How ironic is that!! He was the pitcher and I was the spectator. Everyone in the stand was calling him love and boy was that for sure. He was gorgeous and I needed to know everything about him. Needless to say that I never missed another baseball game after that. He was an awesome athlete!! He played all sports and won many recognitions including the Phil Didericksen award for the Best athlete in Tooele County. I loved to watch him play basketball, he had so much finess and athletic talent. He always took the game, whatever it may have been, very seriously. I was his girlfriend everyday of the week except game day. That sucked but I felt like I had landed the most wanted guy in the school so I was ok with that:)

After alot of flirtation we finally went out on a date he was 15 and I was almost 17. Yes I definitly robbed the craddle with no regrets!!! We went to a movie and it took him all through the show to hold my hand. When he finally got the courage the movie ended. bummer:( Well that date was all it took and we were hooked. We dated for 2 years and then I was off to college. We broke up and went our seperate ways literally. He almost got engaged and I married another man. After a terrible divorce it was only obvious to me that there was still a man in my life that I loved and needed. I never stopped loving him and to this very day that will never change. I am still in love with that 15 year old boy in a baseball uniform!!

The many faces of my new love

Yes you heard it, I have fallen in love with someone else. His name is Landon Keith Hawker and he is a looker. I am deeply and madley in love with this face.

What can we learn from them?

I had a friend once say to me, I look at my trials and think what am I to learn from this. This friend had many trials in her life and i loved her positive attitude. It has taken me alot of growing up to gain the wisdom of this statement. I look back at some of my trials I have had to endure; a divorce, infertility, the heartaches of motherhood, asthma and the loss of both my parents. Those moments in my life I thought it was the end all and that I just couldn't go on. Now I look back and am grateful for those same trials that made me who I am today. A stronger more empathetic person. I am grateful for my life that I have lived for without it I wouldn't be me and I wouldn't have those important people in my life that mean so much too me.

So proud of You, Kyle

On Thursday June 3, 2010 Kyle graduated from Grantsville High School. We are so proud of you kyle. You worked hard to accomplish your goal and you did it!!! I know that you will be very successful in your life. Hard work pays off!!! Love you, mom and dad

I am a Grandma, wow

On Wednesday June 2, 2010 at 1:27 pm Loren and I became Grandparents. Hillary and Andrew had a beautiful baby boy named Landon Keith Hawker 6 lbs and 2 ounces 18 inches long. (tiny little guy) I am so in love!

Not as young as I use to be

Well I went back to work at the bakery and I am finding out that my body isn't what it use to be.lol The back is aching, the tendons and muscles are killing me and if I get anything out of this besides a paycheck it would be losing 10 pounds.lol It is so funny how reality sets in and you realize you are not as limber or as in shape as the good old days. The bad thing about it is the house is suffering and the last thing I want to do is cook and clean when I am doing that for 7 hours everynight at work. I have learned that wonder woman was just a fantasy character and she really does not exist at least in this household. I am who I am and I can only do my best. Ya just gotta love me for that.
