So for the most part, with a house full of boys, sports has been part of our life. I have always loved sports...as a spectator, never very good at any of them. A huge part of my time as a mother has been spent cheering on the boys and their sports. They have done Karate,Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Soccer. Lauren played soccer for awhile and loved it. Lauren was a babe in arms as we toted her to baseball games at all times of the day and night. Poor thing. Many a nap was had in the stroller, bundled up to keep warm. She was yelling plays to the players by the time she could talk, and had the snack bar routine down pat!


So now our boys aren't involved in sports, and Lauren would love to do soccer again, but we haven't signed her up....we spend our time cheering for the Jazz and BYU! It is the season of college basketball playoffs, and BYU is still in the tournament. Hopefully this post won't jinx them! Hopefully they make it to the "Sweet 16". Jimmer Fredette is all the rage, and seems unstoppable. GO CouGARS!

Entering the Grandma Era

Just before we left on a spectacular vacation to Hawaii, (to be blogged in another post), Matt and Sharlene came over to our house to announce the future arrival of our first grandchild! I've been waiting to post about it until she had been to the doctor and was ready to make the announcement to everyone, but now it is official!
Greg decided we should call him/her Rango, until we know what sex the baby is and Matt and Shar decide on a name. I think it has a cute ring to it, and it will motivate his/her parents to decide on a better name! Rango is a lizard from a new animated movie we saw last weekend. He is a funny little character, and lets face it, fetal babies really do look a bit like lizards!
Congratulations to Matt and Sharlene. The due date is October 14, 2011.
