mAN i'vE BeEN An AwfUl BloGgER LAtElY....











Since I haven't blogged is soooo long I thought I would post what I had then add my pics later......So they have been added down below......

I forgot to update everyone on Kaiden's state tournament games...They did AWESOME!!!! The first day they won one game and lost one. They lost to the #1 SF team and only lost by a few runs (everyone else was losing by 12 and even 2o to this team) The next day they won both games and were going to be playing the next day (Wed) for 3rd or 4th. place. If they won that one they would play for 1st or second. I think I was more nervous and excited than Kaiden was. He is just a lot mote laid back than I am.

On Wed the team came out of the first game with a huge win! Well, 6-0 (I think that was the score) Then they faced the #1 SF team that they had lost to the first day. It was such an intense game. Both teams were back and forth with the lead, then with 20 min to play, the SF team hit 2 guys in and we were down by 2. Man, I was so nervous. I felt so sad for our pitcher and catcher because they were under so much pressure that they started crying. They aren't sissy boys either, they are those tough, athletic-type boys (I guess as tough as you can get at 12 LOL) They had come so far and could feel the weight of the game on them.....

We never pulled out ahead and SF won the state championship. The Giants did so great though and took 2nd in state!!! The whole week was pretty exciting for all of us!! I was able to take off work every day, my mom and grandma came down a few days and Kaiden got to hang out with all of his teammates, practicing and goofing around. Kaiden said that he wished baseball didn't have to end but I think it was a great ending to the season!!! NICE JOB Kaiden and the rest of the Giants team!!! Thanks Grandma and mom for coming all the way to watch Kaiden!!

That weekend, Paul and I, our neighbors and Kaiden and a few of his friends from the team, celebrated at the Lindon Pool. We had TONS of fun and are thinking about getting a family pass next year. It's a really great pool, with a lazy river, waterslide, kiddie pool, regular pool and Wave Rider (not sure if that's what it's called)
