birthdays, basketball, and talent show

I can't seem to think of anything of interest to write, but I know it is time to update my blog.  So here goes:
This was from a Washington Wizards game in March.  It was really fun.  I can't remember if they won or not.  Probably not....none of our teams ever win. ha!

This is Clay's birthday.  I am sure he won't be happy to see such a blurry picture and the fact that he is in his pajamas, but I don't have any other pictures.  This was a fun night.  He bought band hero for himself and it has been fun.  I bought him a glow in the dark penny racer.  It was one of his favorite toys as a kid and he always talked about how he lost it and prayed so hard that he would find it. 

This was taken at the outlet mall in Gettysburg PA.  Dallan wanted to go there for his birthday to buy some expensive shoes.  We spent most of the day there.  It was a great day!

This is "The Big Slide" in Thurmont, MD.  A christian church built it and tries to keep it maintained.  We love going there.  There is an orchard on the way that we like to shop at.

This is a crash landing, but it is a soft landing, so it doesn't matter.  We always try to get Dallan to go down while standing up, but the landing is not so smooth.  I have some video, but no still pictures of it.  Clay and I go down too, but I usually have so much fun just watching all the kids.

We were in the ward talent show too, but I can't remember how to post the video.  We sang "take me out to the ballgame" barbershop style.  It was fun and the kids looked cute in their baseball outfits.  Leah said "play ball" at the end, but no one heard her.  Ryan wears his baseball shirt almost everyday.  I try to sneak it and wash it, but it is usually filthy and I just don't care.

You guys do fun family things... we need to do more of that. I noticed Dallan is wearing a Dunder Mifflin shirt (Gregg has the same shirt but in grey), does he watch it with you?

Hope you're feeling good and not too sick. Have you had your first doc appt yet?
