It was just a trip to the dentist!
I sat in the waiting room for Davey to get his tooth filled so we could go shopping for new dress pants. It is an old tradition that whenever we take em out of school for dentist or shots we get a one on one time lunch or treats. any way we noticed the policeman had pulled someone over about the same time as did the speeding traffic in front of me. The driver in front of me stood on it( I guess he was speeding or scared he was) I stopped but the young girl behind me did not. i could hear the brakes squealing and see the smoke billowing and stinking from brakes behind her as i watched in my rearview mirror as her car slammed into us!
Dave said," did we just get hit?" (duh.) "SWEET!" He was stoked the whole time by the experience.
We did not find any dress pants.

I trust you, I just don't trust the other guy!

So Allison is driving down a street in the Bronx and a guy in another car tries to make a left turn right through her!

She is okay, probably thanks in no small part to her seatbelt being firmly strapped around her, But their trusty Ford Cavalier will probably have to be totalled.

A history making day for Justin and Angelique.
Congratulations on their First Baby!

Max

Danny's old friend from Colorado, Max Bastian is serving in the same Mission in Chile than Dan is. he is about3 months ahead of Dan. It is so fun for me to see these two little boys now on their mission together. Max is front and center in black,and then backrow 2nd from left in grey. Dan is far right above and middle middle in purple, below.

I just saw Max's parents Rock and Melanie, at spring training,
the only picture i have of Rock is when he is on the phone. I guess he is kind of like Keith that way. Have you ever noticed how many group shots we have where Keith is on the phone?

By the way, Daniel was transfered to way northern misson today.

What I think about...

Cactus League

Can anyone figure out what this is a photo of?

hint- it was my view during the game.

answer- Dave Watt's back




Okay, down to business. Wait, one more trick photo.
This photo?
Any guesses?
Five little dots in the distance above the giant green batters eye wall? (by the way when you are seated behind that thing, on the side, you can tell you have really bad seats).
Yup, it's a "fly by" of red Bi wing airplanes! Even at their slow speed I couldn't get a photo until they had almost disappeared. ( I have never claimed to be good at this. )



Rachel and Russ showed up too! Rachel started a water fight with me and I definitely "finished it".

But, the whole reason for this party is that our good old friends the Watts came to Cactus League spring training.
Cactus league for those of you who don't know(not Joey of course)is Major league Baseball "warm up "games. Oh I don't know- Ask Joe E. He may not know it but he is my "go to" guy" on Arizona sports.


Anyway, we went to see the COLORADO ROCKIES play the Chicago Cubs! We got some serious sun, ate dogs and cheese frys (10 points for finding them in the picture)and "drank" frozen lemonade. (I won't mention that the Rockies lost.)


Photo-from left to right-Nada,Josh,Jaxon(look closely he's only three months old, I am serving a purpose as I sit in my largeness, I am his shade maker!)Me, Ashley, Kaitlin, Rachel, Russ, then Davey, and Christine! (We have been friends since before these two were even born.)

Hooray for Colorado!
