Games, Games, and more Games

Well, the weather held out for the double-header last night, and they played so well and won both of their games! Shelbi pitched the 3rd inning of the 1st game and did such an amazing job. The practice time she has been putting in has really paid off. And she felt so good and it was such a self esteem booster for her. I am very proud of her, and her coach was very proud of her as well. She had a cheering section too, Grandma and Grandpa Peterson, Brandon, myself, Jenni (cousin), and Uncle Tom. It was a great night of fun and games!!
Shelbi and her team are headed to Murray, UT to play in a 3 day tournament. They leave today at 12 pm and won’t be back until Sunday. It is very hard to stay behind when they head to Utah, but missing work is not an option right now. She travels with her coach’s family and stays with them, she has become very good friends with Whitney and it is a fun get away for her. She also works hard at earning her very own spending money by mowing a couple of yards, which has helped out a bunch. I wish them the best of luck and will keep you posted on the wins and losses of the weekend.
Taylor has a baseball game this evening in Downey, at the city park. He is pretty excited to play since all games up to now have been cancelled due to such poor weather. I will travel over to watch him play tonight. He was at practice last night and fell into a rock pretty hard with his knee, hopefully it will not bug him tonight when he is playing ball. He is such a tough young man; it seems to take a lot to bring him down.
Taylor has also been raising and caring for a pig for 4-H, he already has 8 meetings in, which he only needed 6. He did his presentations already and his community service project day is this Saturday. He has taken the responsibility of feeding his pig and the dogs. He will be taking on some wheel-lines this summer to earn some spending money too.
Well, I am still trying to figure out how I can get some photos uploaded. I will think of something real soon. Until then…..have a wonderful day!
