STEELHEAD SUCCESS

LJ and his dad spent the last 3 days in Elk City this week fishing for steelhead. They were successful. The last few times, these fish have outsmarted them, but this week they finally caught the BIGONES!!! They had a great time relaxing a fishing. Good job boys!

Happy Birthday Anita!

Anita has the honor of sharing her birthday with tax day. Happy Birthday to you today. She has been super busy with her new jobs these past few months, so I haven't seen her much. I hope you have a most excellent birthday! Here's to another great year chica!

Easter Weekend

This past weekend was fantastic. Friday night I babysat Kade and Jeff while Kiley and Ryan went out on the town with friends. We played Guitar Hero and played baseball with Jeff. Saturday was the final softball practice before season begins! I am really excited. Then I helped mom cook the food for Easter dinner! Yummy!!

Sunday was Easter. After church, LJ and I went to his parents house and hung out and ate. We had an easter egg hunt for the kids and then ate good food! Jayson wasn't there because he was sick! I hope you are feeling better!

Then we went to mom and dad's house. Grandma and Grandpa Ulmer, Lynn, and Josh were all in town after watching Jason play in Ogden. Grandma Myers also came over to hang out with us. We had lots of food and tons of fun. We hid over 80 eggs filled with money and candy in the backyard for the kiddos. We even managed to find all of them despite the fact that half of them were camo eggs. :)

After dinner came a rousing game of wiffle ball. Dad and Kody went all out- mowing in the base paths and warning track into the grass, spray painting the bases, pitchers mound and plate. Kody and Matt even bought a brand new bat for the occassion. Dad was all time pitcher we played for over an hour. Good times! Baseball will never die in the Ulmer Family! No pictures because we were all playing. Did anyone get a picture of that sweet field? Kris, Katie, Clint, and Max- we missed you all! I am glad you had family with you in Tri-Cities. Kris- keep hitting the home runs! Happy Easter to all!

Snowflakes and Sunburns

The crazy spring continues. Friday snow swirled all afternoon, wind blew, and it was generally cold. Saturday dawned clear and bright. Softball practice was great. Then I watched Kody's double header against Vallivue. It wasn't warm, but it wasn't cold either. After being outside from 12-4:30 I came home and showered and low and behold: I have a nice little sun burn on the right side of my face with a perfect sunglass mark. :) Who knew that snow and sunburns could occur so close together? When will the madness stop? Also a shout out to Kris for hitting a Home Run this weekend! First one with a wood bat- nice work. Mom, Dad, Katie, Clint, and Max were on hand to witness the event. Perfect timing. So long for now!
