It is my favorite time of year...baseball time. Spring Training started yesterday and I am itching to get out to some games. I am anxious to check out most of the West this spring as it is going to be one tough division. The Dbacks are really going to have their work cut out for them. Just in time for Spring training the weather has jumped into the low 80's...which is a bit hot for Feb....but makes for great ball weather. This year we have also signed Kaleb up for his first year of Little League.
I was absolutely amazed at how competitive it is for 7 and 8 year olds. After signing up we had
to show up for "tryouts", in which each kid had to individually demonstrate their abilities of fielding, catching, and hitting while being watched and rated by all of the coaches. Now the coaches will get together and draft their teams based on the rankings they gave each kid....CRAZY!! There were kids 2 feet tall that were diving
for fly balls and going crazy out there...I was sort of worried being as Kaleb has hardly even played catch at all....but he didn't seem bothered and is excited to get started.
Kaleb and I also went over to the Padres spring training facility where he was able to attend a Youth Baseball clinic that was put on by about 15 former Major League players. The players each hosted a short session on certain aspects of the game and worked on some of the skills with the kids. It was a great opportunity for Kaleb. After the clinic he was able to get autographs from all of the former players on the ball shown above.

Dr. Shaq for The Matrix........What a gamble!!!
I am glad that the Suns are willing to face the fact that they will get nowhere in the post season without a big man to face their wetsern rivals...but Shaq? It is a huge gamble that he will be healthy enough to even contribute in the post season. I am hopefully optomistic that this will play out to the Suns benefit....but if not, what a waste!!

Playin' in the mud
On Saturday the boys found new fun in creating rivers and lakes in the backyard. They were having a blast flooding the rocks and watching as the rivers quickly dried up, then turning on the hose to see them flowing again. That fun was soon lost and Kaleb made sure to take the initiative of teaching Will the art of mud slinging. I think all Will learned was how to be his target!!!

Visitors From California!
Aunt Judy and cousin Teresa and little Spencer and of course Grandma Ensign came to visit us! We didn't do much since they were only here ONE DAY! But we were so happy to have them here no matter how long.
Teresa and I haven't seen each other in a long time, but it was like we were best buds again!
All of the girls!
Thank you Grandma Ensign for coming! We love you!
Will's a Big Boy Now!
We decided to take off the side of Will's crib, so that he could become a "big boy" He was so excited to be able to get in and out all by himself! It's a problem though when he doesn't stay in bed for nap or bedtime! We figure he will learn soon enough!
