We had a great weekend. Our family got to go to Ellensburg on Saturday to see Dane play baseball for Central Washington University. Rick and Cherri and Devon came up to see his game from Tennessee. We love to visit with them and it was fun to get outside and spend a whole day together. That is a rare occasion with all the sports that bigger kids are involved in. The girls and I walked around the campus to check out the college life. I think that Chelsea thought it was pretty ok with kids hanging out on the lawn and tanning while listening to the stereo blasting. Ashton on the other hand got the willies about the whole thing and decided she would be going back to watch the game. I wish I could post the picture we got of Kellen. He did a nose dive into the pile of chalk dust that they had to paint the lines with. What's worse is that he just got done eating an ice cream cone when he did it. I was still cleaning the chalk out of his nose when we got home that night. HA
Sunday morning we woke up to a flood in the apartment. Every room had water standing in it. We had to get a professional carpet cleaner to pump out all the water and have some industrial fans airing it out still. Then after church Tammy and Neal and came for dinner and the kids spent lots of time flirting with all the mud that the flood left. They had a great time!
We love you all and wish you could come play in the mud too. See ya!

H-pilori Attack
We finally took Colton in to the doctor after years of complaining about acid reflux. We thought it was just something he was going to have to live with but the tests showed an advanced case of H-pilori bacterial infection in his stomach. They took biopsies of the worst bumps but we are pretty confident everything will come back ok. He is on some pretty heavy duty doses of medicine and should be all better in a couple of weeks. I just wish we would have done all of this a little sooner! We will see if he starts to be able to eat and gain weight now. He's really growing! He also hurt his foot and hasn't been able to run track. Did I mention his fair pig died? The one he named NFL (naturally freakishly long). I don't know why! It was perfectly fine, but dead.
Ashton won her first game and really hit the ball well. She loves machine pitch and is as good as any of the boys! So, that was our excitement for the week. Love YA!!

OOPS I FORGOT!
While we were shopping yesterday I sat Carson on a chair and told him to stay there while I went to give Chelsea some clothes to try on in the dressing room. When I came back out I saw Carson standing next to the chair and a bewildered looking young lady standing next to him. I said "Carson you need to sit back down in the chair". The lady explained to me that she had been sitting on the chair when out popped Carson from underneath. He had been hiding under it when she sat down! OOPS!
SPRING BREAK!
Well, it's Spring break and supposed to be officially warm with all this Global Warming going on. Actually, there are record breaking lows here and the windmills are busy trying to keep the blossoms warmed up.
Colton and Chelsea are competing in High School Track with their Dad as the coach. They are doing really good and Colton wishes he had tried this out before now. He usually will practice with them, but never has offically been in track. He has been to two meets now and has jumped 19' in the long jump and 5'8" in the high jump, along with running the 4x100. He made the finals in the long jump and high jump and placed in both events.
Chelsea is running and jumping too. She jumped 13'something and is almost back to the 14' feet she jumped last year. Funny story, Last week she was competing and jumped two times. They are supposed to get three jumps, but the officials told her she had already been marked for three times. Both Chelsea and Wayne tried to explain to the officials that she had not but to no avail. Chels went to check their chart to make sure they had three marks for her. Much to her surprise they had marked her as jumping 14'6". She stopped arguing and collected her medal.HAHA!
Madi look forward to her first junior high track meet after about 4 weeks of practice. They only get 5 meets at that age. She assured me she is lightning fast though and is ready to run the relay.
At home right now we are really moving things around. We are taking out the ditch behind our house and putting in pipes. Yeah! Wayne is having quite a time trying to figure out how to best get that ditch out in big pieces. We are also getting rid of our extra baby pigs soon. Yeah! They eat a bag of food a day. That's about $350 a month on pig food! They won't even take nights and weekends off. Non stop eating!
Ashton starts baseball after spring break and Payton just finished up wrestling. He brought home a first place medal from all 5 tournaments he attended. We'll have to get Uncle Mikey up here to train him. The Mendez brothers want to take him around to tournaments in the off season. He got sick and had to stay home from the state tournament up in Spokane. He was devastated but had a fever and was sick for a week after that so it's a good thing that we didn't go.
Cassi wishes she were dancing again. She got to play basketball and Volleyball this year, but she really loves to dance so we might try her in it again next year. They little boys are loving having dad home for SPring Break and spend the mornings crawling all over him in the bed, teasing him and each other. It unfailingly ends up with someone crying and then it's time to get up and get some work done. Kellen got his shots yesterday and was very brave. He cried for just a second and then said, I got my shots!. To reward him dad took him to the dollar store to pick out a prize. Much to his shagrin Kellen chose the only ball left in the store, a bright pink princess ball! Carson went shopping with the girls yesterday and was bored so he decided to hide in the clothing racks. The next thing I know one of them is swinging back and forth and almost fell over. He just isn't built for shopping. We went out to the play place in the mall and let him run for a few minutes.
We are looking forward to going to the movies with the cousins this weekend and might even venture a sleepover! See ya later.
