Triple Crown

I always enjoy Triple Crown. It is at the Expo Center so it's close and instead of 100+ courts, there are only 36.

Baby Doll has been playing so well!


Working between playing her own.


One of my friends sent me this video. First, +you see her daughter and then you see Baby Doll making an amazing block!


I just love watching her play!

Happy Sunday.

First Baseball Game


As you can see, the first official baseball game played west of the Missouri River, was in Nephi. My several greats grandpa, Edward Ockey, who settled Nephi, played in that first game.

Grandpa (my dad) played for Juab High School and I am hoping he feels well enough to go with us to this exhibition game.

I love ⚾!!💕

Curly's Graduation

Yesterday, Sport, Baby Doll, Scout, her married friends K & J and I all braved the traffic to get to UVU for Curly's graduation. Unfortunately, all of the printed invitations said 1:30, but we discovered when we were on the road, that it actually started at 1:00. Let's just say that Scout drove very fast!

We got there just as the processional started. At least I did. Scout and Baby Dl dropped me at the entrance and then looked for a place to park.

I found Sport and then made my way down the stairs so I could take a pic of Curly coming from the tunnel.



Seating was full, so we ended up in this little balcony with very little legroom.

It was a typical ceremony and it was over all too fast. Let me share a few more pics with you.




Love this guy!

Guest Blog: Curly's New Life Ahead by the Dog Walker

Ever since, Mom has started this blog, she has always cherished talking about her twelve kids and explaining how their lives have been. This was Curly back as a little boy, along with a stunning hairdo of curls. I remember the times during Covid, that I would read to him and Baby Doll the entire Harry Potter series. And now after all these years of blogging, he is about to graduate from high school and move on to a new life chapter. He'll be serving a mission in Baltimore, Maryland, and he's earned a scholarship to the University of Virginia and one to BYU and a whole lot of other schools when he's done with his mission. Congratulations, Curly! You sure grew up so fast.

Enjoy these pictures of Curly over the years.
