ST. GEORGE

Over Valentines Day we spent the weekend in St. George for Jaxon's first Baseball Tournament. Baseball in February in Utah! I know it is crazy but what does the Mom know? I know it is a joy to see Jaxon so passionate and excited about this sport. He truly is his happiest playing ball I am however trying to get him to be so passionate about his reading goal for school. Yeah, not going so well! while in Southern Utah we went to Snow Canyon our boys don't enjoy hiking they enjoy climbing, so call it what you want, they had a blast while me and Easton hung out in the car. The weather was a bit colder than I had hoped for.
GO BANDITS!!! The Bandits walked a way 2-2 for the Tournament not bad for not having an outdoor practice since July. Jaxon pitched and played first base and outfield. He did awesome!

Me and Easton stayed bundled and only missed 1 game because it was too cold. Jim hung out in the dug out as the official Bandits scorekeeper and unfortunatly it is really hard to be mom to an infant and family photographer at the ball park so the camera took the back burner.

The most supportive brothers in the world! Carson and Mason rarely complain about going to the games but as I say sometimes we just have to buy their love at the ball park nothing a few trips to the snack bar and maybe a few Legos can't solve! So off to a great season and back to St. George for the March Madness Tournament in 2 weeks. We love these mini vacations!!!

Crazy Boys!




Where does time go? Easton is almost 4 months old. He is so much fun. He was sick for the first time this last weekend, just a little cold. He would scream all day but sleep fine at night (thank heavens for that). He is starting to play with toys and is for the most part always happy!



Mason started his first season of basketball, he sure doesn't share his brothers love for sports which is totally frustrating for Jim and Jaxon, I think it is all about being with his friends which is fine with me. Jim will try to teach him about the game and one Saturday on the way to his game he said " no more basketball talk ok Dad" . maybe before the season is over he will SHOOT & SCORE but then again maybe not! We love you Mason!



Finally!! Around Thanksgiving the dentist told Carson he needed to work with his front teeth and get them out, his other teeth were right there waiting to come in, he told him they should be out by Christmas. Finally last week Carson sat down and worked with one of them and pulled it himself the Tooth Fairy left him $2, now one more to go. Way to go Carson!!



Baseball already? I know and he has been practicing since the first of January. We leave tomorrow for Jaxon's first tournament tomorrow in St. George. Jaxon is in heaven. He got his new hats last week and can't decide which is cooler, he has even been found sleeping in them, I think he looks pretty cute in any hat. We will let you know how the Tournament goes when we get back. GO BANDITS!

Yarri



Yarri having been a part of our family for 14 years passed away yesterday.
It was a hard day for all of us. Yarri was a good dog, our boys have never known life with out him, he was Jim's hunting companion for years and he will be missed very much.

Hardware Ranch (part 2)

Hardware Ranch is an Elk Refuge up east of Hyrum Utah in Cache County about 1 1/2 hrs north of us. I Couldn't have anyone doubting me. So here is my proof. They care for anywhere from about 400 or more elk each winter it is amazing to see that many all in one place.


CRAZY KIDS!
Ben and Hannah are just a couple of the amazing friends my kids are blessed to have in their lives! We had a great day at Hardware Ranch with them.

Hardware Ranch




On Martin Luther King Day (I know it was almost 2 weeks ago) Me and the boys went to Hardware Ranch with our friends and Grandma Jones. We had a great time. It was a beautiful day it was so warm no coats required. The boys had a great time I guess you could say body sledding and of course Easton slept through it all. We had a great day!

2 months old!


Where does the time go? We are really at 2 1/2 months and what a joy he has been! Easton is now weighing in at 14.3 lbs, he is still quite serious but when he does smile he just lights up! he is sleeping a full 8 hours at night and naps regularly during the day. He really is the easiest of the Knight bunch right now! Easton lacks for no attention from his brothers. We love you Easton!

We survived Christmas!



















Jim informed me it has been way to long since I've posted! Sorry just been a little busy with the happenings of life but yes the Knight's survived Christmas! We had a wonderful Christmas. I do believe the boys were all on the good list and were not a bit disappointed. We had a wonderful Christmas break full of friends, family and fun!
