Zach's Baseball Season

This was Zach's first year playing baseball and he did great. He was the youngest on his team but he kept up with the rest of the boys.

Somehow they couldn't find a coach for his team so John being a great dad stepped in so with his little free time he coached team Walmart.

Zach has grown over the last 8 weeks he has been playing has picked up the game quickly. He has played many different positions, but has asked to pitch all season so in the last game John let him have his shot and he did great!

He pitched the last inning and held them off to win the game! They made it to the playoffs and Zach got to be starting pitcher. They played a good game but lost so that is the end of the season. We had a fun time watching Zach learn and grow over such a sort time. Great job Zach!!

Family Vacation

Last week we went on a much needed family vacation!
We found an all inclusive family resort called The Rocking Horse Ranch in NY.
Sorry but I put a lot of pictures on this post but we did so many things it was hard not to show off all the cool things we got to do!

We stayed 5 days and never ran out of things to do.


They had any sport you could think of to play. A few we did were mini golf, basketball, baseball, kickball, tennis, and more! Zach and Katie climbed the rock wall and the first time up Zach made it to the top!


They had an indoor and outdoor pool so we spent part of every day swimming. They had a slide inside and outside so even on the 2 days it rained we had plenty to keep us happy.


We all rode on the banana boat, but it was a cool and cloudy day so it was hard to jump into the water after the ride.


Zach and a boy he made friends with entered into to the paddle boat race and came in a close second.

Aaron is to small to go out on the horses, but they had pony rides and he had a blast doing that.

John, Zach, and I went on a horse back trail ride one day and it was a blast! Zach had so much fun he went again later that day.




All this and so much more all in one week that we never had to get into the car to do. They had different kinds of shows at night and Zach was picked out to be a helper at the magic show and he did a great job but we forgot our camera that night (of course) he had to rip up paper and then the magician make him a hat out of it pretty cool. We had a great time and it was nice to get away and spend time together as a family. John has been working hard in his new job and he spends 4 hours a day in the car driving so it was nice to see him all day long for a few days at least. Only 5 more weeks and he will have a few more days off, can't wait till then!

On Sunday May 30th Zachary was baptised into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

It was a wonderful day and we were so blessed to have a lot of our family come to be a part of Zach's special day.

My parents came from UT and my grandmother came from WA just to be with Zach on this day.

Zach has been waiting for this day and we could all feel the spirit so strongly. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day turn out so well. Congratulations Zachary we are so happy you decided to make this first step in becoming closer to you Heavenly Father.
