Softball pictures

I realized that I have a couple of pictures of the amazing little softball players and figured I ought to post them while I have a minute, they are so cute and funny to watch! Their last game is on Tuesday and they are all looking forward to it and Chris only has one more game and then he has been elected to be the Allstar coach for the "B Team" for his 12 year old girls so he gets to do this for another 3 months, but it is so good for him.

Vacation

We went on vacation last week and we went to St. George and stayed there and then went and visited Las Vegas for a day. We stopped in Cove fort on our way down and the kids really enjoyed the history and seeing the old fashioned items that were used and Chris and I had never been there and really enjoyed it. In Las Vegas we went to the M&M's factory and the Coke Factory and we went to the Bilagio and saw the fountains, the kids really got excited about the dancing water. We spent the rest of the time relaxing in St. George and it is amazing the things you can find to do, even in Utah when you have lived here your whole life... we took the kids to the beach at Sand Hollow Lake and they enjoyed it so much! Anyway, we had a great time and it was so nice because it was a vacation that we came home from and didn't need to have another vacation just to be ready to go back to work. The other good news is that I got promoted when I went back to work last week! I am now the newest underwriter for Countrywide Bank (soon to be Bank of America!) and I am very excited!! All in all, the last two weeks have been very good for the Opheikens family and we are looking forward to the summer! :)

Just plain wrong

Motherhood is a wonderful thing and kids are quite funny. Yesterday I was home from work (and again today) because we have strep going through our house and I was trying to get up enough energy last night to get the kids some dinner. I had just changed Justice's diaper about 15 minutes earlier and was just recovering from exerting all the energy I had, when Abbi came upstairs carrying an open empty diaper... It made me a little nervous, she said that Justice had pooped but she didn't know where he was. Chris and I rolled off the couch and went downstairs to find our hiding stinky boy... he was hiding in our closet and he had taken his diaper off and sure enough he had left a present for us on the floor!! It was just wrong and while I was completely discusted by the whole thing I couldn't help but laugh only because I know that I am not the only Mom who has ever found a hiding child that just did something like that! Oh the joy of children!
