Play Ball!!!

Baseball season has begun! This year Derek is a Yankee (so we have had to set aside our distaste for the Yankees). We are now true Yankee fans!! Megan is a Mariner and playing her first year with machine pitch. She loves to go to baseball practice and loves her games. She is the only girl on her team and can tease the boys right back if they tease her. She is having a blast! Derek was picked by the same coaches he has had the last 2 years. He really likes these coaches. Their team has won all of their games so far.

Jake will probably be joining us at the ball park more often now that he has learned a certain cute girl has a brother playing on the fields. :) Jake is still swimming every day for his swim team. And he recently had his first real job interview for a job at the rec center's outdoor pool. He will hear if he got the job on Monday. Either way, it was a good experience for him to put a resume together and survive his first interview.

Whoa Whoa WHOA! Did you seriously say "put aside our distaste for the Yankees"? WTC?!?!

And here, all along, I thought we were friends.

Seeing Derek in an NY shirt makes my heart sing.

Seeing Meg play ball is just dang cute!!

Your kids are always so active doing good things. Must have good parents. :)

The kids look so cute in their uniforms. They also both seem very enthused about playing. I hope Jake gets his first official job. Would he be a lifeguard?
We are off today to see Driggs speak in Sacrament Meeting prior to his mission. He is so excited!!!
