My Baseball Player and Other Stuff

In April Ryan's sister, Andi, and his brother Curtis ran and finished the Salt Lake City Marathon. Yes, the full 26.2 miles! I think this was Andi's 3rd time doing it and Curtis' 1st. Curtis is now following in the footsteps of Andi and Greg (Ryan's brother) and is going to do an Ironman in Tempe, Arizona, so we wish him luck as he continues to train! Anyways, they had a little get together afterwards at Curtis and Laura's to celebrate their victory and Renee's (Ryan's mom's) birthday. We didn't make it to the marathon sadly, but we got to congratulate them afterwards....so way to go guys!

Bronson above giving me the thumbs up while on first base.

Bronson has recently started baseball. He has been a great little slugger since he was about 3, so this year he was finally old enough to start playing. Last year no one was taking 4 year olds (which of course this year they are.) Anyhoo, it has been very, very entertaining. If anyone could use lots of laughs and smiles, just come to one of his games and it is guaranteed that you will have a feel good laugh!!! I wasn't quite sure if he would end up being to shy to participate in the games, but he has LOVED it and played very well in all his games so far. Last week he hit the ball out into the outfield twice......of course I forgot my camera, but I was amazed (even as his mother) at how hard he hit the ball. It was AWESOME!!! At his 2nd game Bronson's team was in the outfield and this kid on the other team hit the ball really hard and it flew past all of Bronson's team, well every kid (except Bronson, because Ryan had went to help him and told him not to move from his position) in the outfield followed the ball, they all left their posts, bases, everything and all piled on top of each other to get the ball....it was hilarious!!!

Bronson bringing it home!!!

Swinging hard!

The video isn't very good, I should have walked a little closer, but it is Bronson up to bat, hitting the ball and running to 1st base. Sorry you'll have to look really close.

The other video I had to put on here and share the UNDESCRIBABLE Happy Birthday song that the Jones family does! There are no words.....when you listen you will understand, (you will also understand why Bronson would almost cry every year at his birthday parties when we would sing Happy Birthday to him) please don't hate me afterwards!;) Also I have to dedicate this video to Miss Brenda Hansen who has a very special appearance at the end!!!!
