softball & just plain craziness


Chris has jumped fully into Allstars and they played in a tournament last week after only having 4 practices and ended up taking 2nd place! It was a lot of fun and the games were almost all nail biters and kept us fans on the edge of our seats. His team played 4 games in a row starting at 3:30 and they didn't finish until 10:00 p.m. they were such amazing troopers to play for that long.

Abbi and Whitney are finally getting into the last days of Kindergarten and First Grade, Abbi's last day is Tuesday and Whitney's is Monday and then we will have two kids in school all day! Yeah! They have loved school this year and their teachers have been wonderful! Sammie is so anxious to start preschool again and keeps asking if it is time to start yet almost everyday. Justice has made a great transition into Nursery and I can't believe that he is getting so big! He is talking very well and is finally getting his teeth in and he pretty much runs our house. Work is going well with the Bank of America take over getting under way with "Legal Day One" projected to be on Tuesday and then some changes will happen over the next year or so and hopefully the transition will be smooth. That is current like in the Opheikens household, we are headed down to Lake Powell next week and can't wait for that and then Chris and I are in charge of Youth Conference the following week, July is going to be just as Crazy I am afraid! I was recently tagged but haven't figured out my best answers yet so that will hopefully be my next post! Thanks for everyone's comments this blogging thing is wonderful!!

Fun few days!



We have had an eventful couple of evenings tonight and last night. Last night we went to a school carnival at Rosamond Elementary for our niece Allie and Sammie and Whitney had a ball! Whitney even managed to coax her Uncle Gil into helping her win two goldfish so our pet count is now at 3 (lucky for me they are all fish!) Tonight we headed over to the Riverton Arts Festival where the kids got their faces painted and played on the bounce toys and ate ice cream and candy and did a craft and they learned a little hula dance too! They were such cute little dancers! Chris has officially ended his first regular season softball and is anxious to start in with All Stars, that will be his primary hobby this summer (at least it's cheaper than golf!) :)
