Where do the days go? I have no idea... so here's one of those long, catch it all up posts...
Mutant teams I played on - this was my Tuesday night league where I ended up pitching about half
way through the season... yes, they were that desperate! While I enjoyed playing with these guys, I think I'm done with that league - of course I've probably said that every year for the last 2 or 3 years, but I think this year I really mean it!!
The last few months have brought many house guests - mostly for good reasons, but a few for not as happy reasons. One was J-man's broken and dislocated arm that required surgery at Primary Children's Hospital. Once in surgery, the actual injury wasn't as bad as the x-rays had led the doctors to believe, so that was at least good news!
One weekend was the Robinson family reunion -
held here in SLC (gotta love when you can sleep in your own bed). It was fun to see Dad with all of his sisters (missed you Melvin and Carole!) and our cousin April and her fun kids... (sorry - didn't get a picture with them)
That weekend Dad, Kirk, Luci and I ran a 5K - the weather was just about perfect for us - a little
bit cool with a light mist, but then J-man ran a 1K (with me and Luci) and the heavens decided to open up and pour (I think my t-shirt was about 10 lbs heavier!!):
J-man did great once he started running! My favorite was about halfway through when he looked around and looked up and gave his evil emperor laugh which I can't attempt to translate into words - but it was awesome. He even wants to run another race, but it can't be raining he told me!
And just so Z-boy gets some time - you can't really tell, but he's trying to put on his momma's high heeled shoes. He cracks me up!!
There has also been the happy addition of two new neices this summer - first came Crabby A (nicknamed by her family!) to join Marc and Ariane's family:
And most recently the safe arrival of Baby E to join Brett and Val's family:
A few weekends ago Rena and I ran a women's only race in SugarHouse Park - now that's something - to run with over 1300 other women... just very cool
And finally!!! Mom and Dad were recently called to serve in the Winnepeg Canada mission - the very mission that my Grandma Rose lives in. They report to the MTC on October 12 for 5 days of training and then are off! I am so grateful for the example that my parents are to me. This is one of my favorite pictures from their last mission (Kiev Ukraine Mission) taken by the Black Sea in Odessa Ukraine:
And now I think I'm mostly caught up... until next weekend...
