Bryan Will Play for the Utah Storm

Bryan has decided to play for the Utah Storm for next spring. He is excited since it has been a goal of his to play super league baseball for the Storm. He tried out and quickly wowed them with his size and talent. Bryan loves baseball, he always wants to be playing. So, the long season should not phase him. We are probably looking at 70 games next year which includes traveling for tournaments. Well, at least Dad is not coaching and we can actually sit back and enjoy the games.

Daddy-Daughter Night

Kara and I had a blast together last night and was able to spend quality time just me and her. Leigh was out with friends and Bryan went to the Bees game. Kara planned the whole night. First we went swimming. Dad convinced her to go on the big slide at Gene Fullmer. That was a mistake for dad; can you say stairs workout? She loved it and wanted to keep going. Then, we went to dinner at Arctic Circle, we had shakes of course. Finally, we finished by watching Enchanted.

I enjoyed spending time with Kara since I find myself so wrapped up in Bryan and his baseball and I don't spend as much time with her as I should. Next thing you know, your baby grows up.

Kara, I love you forever.

Love Dad.

She was so excited for today. She loves her teacher and has lots of friends in her class.

Park City 2009

We love going to Park City every summer. This was a great vacation and much needed after baseball.. We had fun on the Alpine Slide and the Coaster. Lou had a lot of fun and needed attention from the EMT. He didn't realize that you should break while on the Alpine Slide. We can finally see his ankle again. It was so swollen that it took over 3 weeks to heal.
Our family had fun shopping and taking the bus to Main Street. But we always love to go swimming.

24th of July

10K
So it all started after Jen and I finished running our 5 k in May. I looked at Jen and said, "Now we should train for a 10K". She laughed but was on board. We have been training and we would meet every Saturday at the river for our long runs. Jen did great and I felt great for the first 2 miles but then I could feel a blister. I will not post the picture of my huge blood blister. So the last 4.2 miles I ran in pain but I never stopped running and actually took 1 minute off my time. Jen's friend Lieu bought us these neck wraps that we wore during the run. It really helped since it was a hot morning...



Lou and I ready for our run. Lou took off and kicked my butt. But I didn't care. He is the Marathon runner. This was my marathon..



We went to my parents house and lit fireworks. Here is my mom getting ready to put out the fire that could start at any minute!!!

All-Stars 2009

This year Lou was the coach since his team took 1st place during the regular season. That meant that he would have to deal with everything All-Stars has to offer and more... That also meant that I would be the team mom. I was lucky and had some great moms help me out. Lou also had some great coaches who also helped him. We had a great time this All-Star season and took 2nd place at District and 3rd Place at State. We were the only team at District or State to beat the Team that took State(Orem). Congratulations West Jordan Sluggers for a fantastic All-Star Season. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Bryan (aka. BB), and Coach Lou
