It has happened. My son Bayley who is 8 has expressed interest in a girl. I don't know if I should cry or laugh. My wife broke the news to me the other day. Luckily, Bayley has no problem talking to his mother and telling her everything. So they are driving in the car and out of no where my son drops the bomb. "Mom I like a girl". “Her name is Sarah". “Is she in your class?" "No, she is in Sawyers (cousin) class." "Oh, when do you see her?" "Sometimes at Recess." "Does she know you like her?" "Yes, Sawyer told her. I told him not to say anything, but he did anyway."
Well, what did she say?" "Sawyer said you like me." "And what did you say back"
Now comes the kicker. This is so Bayley, and it makes me proud and very very scared.
“Well!! It’s true." Not much of a poker player. He just showed all his cards. Then he says to Candice, “I wasn't going to lie to someone I like mom!"

As Candice and I pondered the conversation Bayley had with his Mother, we wondered if we should be worried. But then we thought back to our first interest and when it took place. Candice said she held a Boy's hand in the first grade. This made me a little jealous, but I was able to let it go. I remember I stole my sisters Apple ring to give to Renee in the 3rd grade. Of course my mother found out and I had to ask for it back. That was not pretty. So I guess Bay is on Par with where Candice and I were at the same age, and now I know we should be worried. :)

My sister Rhonda and her Husband Kay called me last week and wanted to go to a suns game to see her good friend sing the national anthem. Tony hooked me up with his four tickets while Candice was in Utah, so I was able to take Bayley to his first Suns game.


Eddie House gave Bayley his headband. I was a little jealous.












Our seats were right next to the suns bench.










The game was close and we came from behind to win in the last minute. It was perfect.






The tickets come with a lot of extras like free five star food, drinks, and a great view. After the game we got to meet the players and get autographs.
Bayley loved it. I still remember when my mother took me to my first Suns game when I was eight.

The cabinets are in. This is Candy's new scraproom, our kitchen and an updated view of the house.

Today was Bayley's first Pinewood Derby. I never did these when I was a kid so this was a first for both of us. Bayley picked out the design and idea for the car and Dad got carried away with painting it. For the record, I did let him paint the left eye on the skull. I had to rely on google to learn how to build it, and from what I read I was really nervous his car would not win one race. There is so much you can do to make a car faster, And I definitely put form before function. But he did really good. Our ward has adopted the "everyone is a winner" policy, (lame) so there were no 1st, 2nd, or 3rd places. Out of about 12 races, Bayley won 4, lost 2 and finished 2nd in the rest, so he was very happy and I was relieved I didnt make my son a loser car.




Abbey slept on my shoulder through most of the race, She woke a little bit on the grumpy side and was not happy till she found the red punch and cookies.
