Sunscreen

Hello Everyone

Can I just say SUNSCREEN. Lynn and I played hooky Monday and went to the Bees game. It was a noon game, so after grabbing Miles from school we ran down to the field. We we got to the field I looked through the softball bag for sunscreen and couldn't find any. Needless to say Lynn and I got Fried. Our arms hurt so bad. It was 70's and windy the nicest day we've had all year. I am now buying tons of sunscreen for each of the kids softball bags and each of our cars. I really don't want to deal with the burn again.

I wasn't going to post again because I feel that I could just write same thing different day, week or month. But after thinking for awhile we do have other things going on here at the house.

We accomplished a Hugh project Conference weekend. We had a neighbor cut down four Hugh trees in their yard. Well it's cheaper to have someone else take the wood instead of the tree guys. So we told them we would take it all. We started hauling and splitting firewood on January 8th and finished it in April. Any weekend we didn't have softball commitments or crappy weather we were splitting and hauling wood. And we are now FINISHED. Hopefully we have enough wood to last a three winters. It feels great to have that hugh project done. The kids were great sports in getting it done.

Its great to hear that Cody is running track. Daphne is also doing track this year. Her gym coach asked her to do track and of course she wanted to. Its been great for her speed and endurance. The events she is doing is (think of Matilda and Ms. Trunchbold, I think that was the headmistresses name) Shot put and Discus. Daphne so doesn't have the body of a shot put and discus gal, but she loves it. Her first track meet was yesterday and she threw the shot put 20 feet and the discus 48 feet. She is having tons of fun and now wants us to purchase a shot put and discus so she can practice at home. We are thinking about it. Softball is still her sport of choice. We are starting Tourneys again in a few weeks, it will be fun to see her play. Daphne is doing awesome in school and doesn't procrastinate any assignments or projects. So unlike her parents. She still loves the U of A and is starting to like the Gators.

Hanalee will be so excited to hear about Josie and her softball playing. Lynn and Hanalee would love to have her on their team, they need some speed. Hanalee is still pitching like crazy, now we just need to work on her batting and speed. Her team is playing in a League that starts the first Thursday of May, she's really excited. She is also playing the same tournaments that Daphne is so they are at the same place most of the time. YEAH for me. Hanalee has a program tonight and she is looking forward to being in it. We really need to get her an music or drama group. She has such a cute personality. She is also doing well in school and is looking forward to having her teacher back from Maternity leave.

Miles is keeping us just as busy. He had been playing soccer for the last month and is staring T-ball in a few weeks. We can't believe the improvement he has made in both sports from last year. He is picking up reading and spelling so quickly. It's been great and sad at the same time. We are dreading the day he doesn't want a story read to him before bed. He is a great sport with all the softball and loves to have Lynn and the girls watch him when he plays. He told me the other day that he is ready to go to 1st grade and be in school all day. I cried. He is really excited that Brooks isn't moving to Moab.

Lynn and I are doing great, just tired. Trying to keep up with the kids is crazy at times. But we love it.

We love and miss you all tons.
Sorry for the long post.
If I can figure out how to post pictures I will.

Love
Janell

We saw Melvin and Nancy Robinson at the track meet yesterday and their daughter Hailey is following her older sisters footsteps in the High jump. If any of you read the Deseret News their was a story on Ada in the Sunday paper sports section page 16.
