Baseball Opening Day

Hannah got to catch the first pitch of opening day! She did such a great job, and did not look nervous at all. The key word is look. The entire week prior she was a nervous wreck. She kept telling me "I'm not doing it, everyone will be staring at me, and what if I miss the ball." I kept encouraging her and telling her what an honor it was that they asked her to do this. I do not know if anyone knows that about Hannah. She doesn't like to be the center of attention. She has always been our shy one. I am so proud of her and know that she will have a great season.

It's great that her dad is her coach and gets to spend time with her.

Basketball Pictures

This is the third year that Dallin has played for the school basketball team. He had a great season and was awarded Defensive Play Of The Year! He is playing on an AAU team and will be playing all around the Seattle area. I don't know how he does it. He plays on two baseball teams, his AAU basketball team and has been attending quarterback camps down at the University of Washington and still manages to make it to early morning seminary everyday and keep his grades up. At times the scheduling is crazy, but Dallin having nothing to do is more crazy!
This was Hannah's sixth and final year playing for Maple Valley Basketball. She was able to play with the same girls and coach for all 6 years. She also had a great season. She does not like to lose and is very competitive. (I wonder where she gets that.) She was playing against another team that some of the girls she goes to school with were on. She did not want to lose to them. They were down by 6, and she said to her team "we are not going to lose." So she scored the next 8 points and they won by 2. At the end of the season, her coach gave all the girls a picture frame of all the team pictures from the past 6 years. Next year she will get to try-out for the school team, I know she is looking forward to that.
This was Meagan's third year playing basketball. She has played with her friend Jaylyn each year. They are pretty funny to watch, because sometimes they would only pass to each other. The coach had to talk to them a couple of times to tell them that they need to pass to the other girls. With having an older brother and sister that have played basketball she has always been great at dribbling and shooting. Corey Mason was her coach this year and the girls loved him.

Muscle Man

Dallin was bugging me about the picture to the right that I had posted. So I thought I would really give him something to bug me about. Boy, I'm going to pay for this!
