LAX at the Y

Today both me and Damon got to experience a first. Michelle decided that I should get to learn how to post in our blog, so this is my first blog. Damon finished up his first day of lacrosse camp at BYU. The BYU lacrosse coach is running the camp along with some of the players. according to Damon it was "awesome" and "just like Football, only you get to hit people with sticks". Needless to say he loved it. We had him put on his equipment so we could take some pictures, throw in some blacklights and he could be trying out for Tron II. We will keep you updated as things progress, Madi will be starting a new sport for her as well this fall, she will be starting fast pitch softball.

Not Much New

This is just a little post to catch everyone up on what we are up to. The answer is not much. We have been busy around the house. Mike has had the last few days off and has been busy with yardwork and cleaning around the house. I have worked several of the days that Mike has been off which isn't much help for him. We have been working on some of the problem areas in our yard and still have a few to go, the problem is that it suddenly has become 100 degrees outside and too hot to work outside.
We went to Lagoon on Friday with our friends the Thuesons. We had a great time and the kids loved riding the rides. I think that was the first time that Madison has been there and Damon would have been about 2 when we last went. Needless to say, the kids were out before we could get on the freeway to come home.
Mike was hit by a tire the other day while driving. He was on his way to work and the truck next to him lost a tire, wheel and everything. The tire was then rolling down Mike's lane and he had nowhere to go. Thank goodness the tire hit the front of the car and then rolled up and off the side instead of up the hood and through the windshield. The front bumper has a big melted tire print on the bumper, the bumper is cracked, and the skirting in bent down. The guys insurance company is coming out tomorrow to look at the car. We are just thankful that Mike is okay.
Later,

So We Didn't Win the Trophy

Well, I hate to say that Damon's team did not take first place. He did play the whole game and did a great job. It was too bad because half of his team was out of town. They did a great job and had a great season, now we are on to Football. Well, I guess that we have been doing football for a month because Damon has been doing camp. He also plans to try his hand at lacrosse. I guess that we will see how this works. I guess that since we didn't break anything in football we will try in lacrosse.

Baseball Update

Okay, so it has only been a couple of days since I last posted but I wanted to give everyone an update. Damon's team played their first playoff game on Saturday and they won, very convincingly. The second game was last night and they won 12 to 10, a little too close this time. However, this is the team that was first in the league (we never played them in the regular season). The next game will be on Thursday and that will be for the championship. I plan to post some pictures of Damon playing but will probably wait until the championship game so that we get pics from a couple of games.
Everything else in our family is good. We are just getting things in order for our trip to Florida and trying to keep the kids occupied and out of trouble for the summer.
Hope that all is well with you!
