THE END OF YEAR BASEBALL!!!

Well this is how our season ended up.....

The 12U Ogden City league championship was won
by our boys last night at the 4th street park.
They played an awesome game and we are
very proud of them.
I did not have my camera with me so this blog
will be a collage of the other games throughout
the past year.....





Getting ready for games in Salina? (I think that
is where we were playing)



One proud papa...(ps, this is before the legs had
a full summer of sun on them, not that they got a
whole lot darker)

Good Ole' 4th street park....

by the way Rylee'sdad played alot of games
at this park back in the day
Even aunt Pauline played at this park.




Rylee competing in the throwing contest.
Which by the way he did very well at.....

Course I am the proud mama. We have been running
all summer long to baseball and it has been a very time
consuming sport but I can honestly say that I have enjoyed
the games and also the friendships that I have gained.....

See you next season!!!

SATURDAY CONTINUED

 Saturday....."the rest of the story"

While CJ and I were attending Super Saturday (with Tagg in the Nursery)

Zac was at my house designing and building me a MASTER BEDROOM

WALK IN CLOSET!!!  Do I say this with a lot of excitement???  I am so

excited to have a nice big closet....We have a very large bedroom with alot

of wasted space so by adding a wall and then putting in built ins it will be a great

storage/closet space.  This will also free up closet space for Jim in the existing

wall closet that we have.

Here you see all of the shelving that he has put in.  I am really getting headaches just thinking about
all of the totes of yarn that I can store in there.....

The original walls are painted the green and I wanted to leave

them the way they are and then we are going to paint all of

the shelving white like the trim in our room.

This is the doorway that leads from the bedroom.






This is an awesome shoe rack with slanting
shelves that Zac designed and built. He was
worried about only fitting about 30 pair of
shoes but I assured him that I don't own
even that many pairs of shoes......Guess I
will just have to go shopping for some more...


I am such a visual person that I am sure
I drove Zac crazy with all of my questions.

He had it all designed in his head and knew
that it would work out and now that he has
it built I love it.

Then they had to hang the new door.

This is on the back wall and will hold 5 places for hanging
clothes.....Opps  gonna need more clothes cause I don't have
enough to fill that whole wall.


The door was hung in one try.....

After we got done we rewarded everybody with a
wiener roast out back.  We got a fire going with all of
the scraps of wood and decided to roast some dogs
and mallows!!!

CJ had to work so she was not there but we had a good
time anyway.



Tagg was glad to have the attention of his dad.


Don't you just love the soft hue of this professional picture.
It is a really cute one of all of them.  I sure wish that I
could have focused the camera.....

Saturday the beginning

 Christel and I began our Saturday at the 12th ward Relief Society

"SOUPER SATURDAY".  I had ordered some christmas

things to paint and of course we had an assembly line all

set up.

This is the christmas tree but we did not have enough time

to finish it completley,  We still need to add the accent paper

and then touch it up and glue it all together.

This project we did get completed and I am glad that we did.
It was fun but was a little hard with cuting out the papers.
CJ was worried that I had not been crafting for a while and
was really concerned about the way I was painting.  I, on the
otherhad think that they turned out really cute.

I JUST HOPE THAT MACKENZIE IS NOT LOOKING
(cause this may or may not be her birthday present)
We had a good time and the food was delicious.

Way to go 12th ward!!!

birthday/fathers day

We celebrated Jim's birthday and fathers day all in one
this year.  I had a co-worker/friend (right Teresa?) pick
this up for Jim as a surprise this year.  I hardly ever get
a chance to surprise Jim.

He was really surprised.

Still unwrapping.....

sorry I forgot to turn the picture.  He looks more
comfortable this way tho right?

Then Zac, CJ and the boys came over and we built a
bonfire in the backyard and roasted hot dogs and had
delicious hot "SMOES"

Gotta love those redneck fires in the back yard.

Cal Ripken Tournament

 Rylee was fortunate enough to play with some friends

on the Cal Ripkien All Star Leage.  They played in a

tournament in Murray.This is Rylee and Gaje.

 

This was the room that all of the boys and thier parents

had to meet in to get briefed on the way the tournament

was going to be played....

 

They gave all the boys souviner bats.

 

Opening Ceremonies.

 

More opening ceremonies.

 

Presenting "JAMES RYLEE WILKERSON"

Yes, this is where all the boys find out that your real name
is JAMES and then mom is in trouble.....What were
we thinking???

 

The rain came down and muddied everything up.  It

really poured hard.  They had to go and get lots and lots

of kitty litter to mix in with the mud holes.  This, in my opinion,

was a very bright idea.... it worked quite well I might add.

 

These kids had a blast in the mud after all the rain. 

Savanah (the little girl) started out in white but ended up

in a nice chocolate brown.....

I am not sure what thier moms thought about this. 

ON OUR WALK...

Jim, Rylee and I went for a walk the other night.

And while this won't mean alot to some people

it will mean ALOT to those of us who knew

(or feel like we knew)

LAEL.....

Just who did clean the sink at Angies that night.........
