Big News, Easter, and Lately

Most of the few remaining readers of my blog are probably also my Facebook friends or family and already know the news. We are expecting baby number 4 on August 16. We are having a boy which will nicely even out the numbers around here. This baby has spurred us to finish the basement, although he may be the only one sleeping down there. Max is determined to name this baby "Bo" and Klein really wants "Boston" (after her favorite boy at preschool). I have no ideas at this point so maybe Max will get his way (Klein will not because of the anti- Boston Red Sox vibe around this house). I am feeling quite anxious about having four kids but also very excited. I tease Jason that this boy will be turning 8 when Max is 16 so Jason will be able to start fresh with Super League at that time.

Here are a few Easter pictures. We had a great weekend and a wonderful spring break. It was really hard to go back to school.




Max participated in his first Pinewood Derby last week. He took second place overall. He and Jason and Uncle Jeff worked really hard on his "General Lee." It was a fun night. Max has been so busy with baseball and scouts and school. It is hard to get everything done in a night. The Orangemen played in a tournament at Bear River and took first. Max had some monster hits. He also participated in a "spring training" camp at Mountain Crest. They officially start Super League this Saturday. Max practices twice a week with the Orangemen and will start practicing for city league this week. We have lots of baseball on the schedule!.
I love the nice spring weather but we spend nearly every minute after school playing outside. It is hard to get the kids inside to go to bed or even eat dinner. The kids roam between the trampoline, the sandbox, and the driveway on their bikes. Preslee fell of the tramp the other day which is why she looks so rough. She landed on the cement. Not good... but it didn't scare her enough to keep her off. She is so full of energy but at an age where I can't let her just play outside on her own which means I also get to spend hours outside after school. Not much housework is getting done and very little cooking has been happening around here. Oh well...
