Baseball Begins!

Yep, another season of baseball! It started with a parade in the freezing wind which we only had him attend because we thought team pictures were being taken right after. Nope! Xander and David suffered through the cold for no reason.

After the first couple games we realized there were a lot of problems with this year. Our team had close to 20 players which is absolutely ridiculous! Xander was only getting up to bat maybe twice a game, sometimes just once. He played first base and outfield but was only out in the field every other inning. And to be honest, his team was pretty much the bad news bears; it was tough to watch some of those kids play.

But Xander loves playing and we love watching him play the sports he loves. So, we were at the baseball field two nights a week cheering on our #15!

The Newest Fanzz!!

One activity that I forgot to post about that has added to the excitement of the Pierce life happened in March - David took the kids to a Jazz game! They absolutely LOVED it and are now all the biggest Jazz fans!

Seeing one of our favorites, Ron Boone!

They all now have their favorite players and insist on watching the Jazz whenever they're on TV. Definitely lots of Jazz apparel being ordered these days.

Our Newest Driver

She did it! She passed her driving test and can now officially drive! Phew, that'll cut down my drive time in half each week! To celebrate, she took her brothers to get some Chick-fil-A shakes.

Our Fun Mornings

Another month of wonderful early morning seminary!  With Easter right around the corner, I felt like an Easter egg hunt was a must!

This team gathered their eggs more quickly and Felix declared them the winners even though it wasn't a race, ha ha.

President Brady stopped in one morning and had a great discussion with the kids, answering any and all questions they had for him.

It wasn't too many because we still had time for a game!

The winners got to pick their donuts first and then the rest joined in as we celebrated Felix's birthday. He even wore the new "guy" birthday hat!

This might be the best picture I took all year! Emily copying Harrison's eyebrows never fails to get me laughing!

Reading the leaves is the highlight of each week. I love what the kids are learning for themselves.

We spent a few mornings reading about and pondering Joseph's experience in Liberty Jail.

I even tried to make one of the rooms a little similar in conditions...low lights and frigid air from the open windows. Truly nothing I could have done could compare to what those men went through but hopefully it got them thinking.

I try to give the kids plenty of opportunities to teach the class and they always rise to the occasion...

sometimes in very humorous ways!

I love when their presentation includes new artwork for the classroom!

Keepin' our Fridays more fun and active while they learn their doctrinal mastery. At least they're awake!!

Still lovin' our breakfasts!

Our baby foxes are growing up!!
