Birthday, champions and dreams

      Kayli is officially 17 years old and hopefully she enjoyed all the different birthday celebrations she had starting with tent city then moving on to cake with her siblings then off to dinner and a movie with her aunts and grandma and lunch with friends the following day. That should be enough celebration to keep her happy for another year.
17 balloons to start off the day!
A delicious tuxedo cake from Costco and an awesome photo bomb by Isaac.
Happy birthday from G & G Baker!  Kayli says thanks for the card and money.
      McClane has had a semi hard week. He's come down with a little virus and has had a couple of rough nights coughing and wheezing and here is a photo or two of him sleeping and visiting the doctors office.
He wasn't actually sick here but he was obviously tired to fall asleep all hunched over like this.
McClane was pretty curious about all the stuff at the doctor's office and he was happy to cooperate.
I just think he's so cute!
     Hopefully with enough rest he'll be well and happy in time for our trip to Oregon.  The doctor we saw wasn't our regular doctor and I felt his diagnoses was a bit off the mark so I won't even bother mentioning it here but I do plan on taking him back to our regular doctor in a couple of weeks to get his take on the matter.
      Mark's baseball team had their tournament games this past week and the final game was Thursday night and was quite intense. Mark was not at his best due to spending all day at our Stake Youth "Book of Mormon Live" activity but the team together did great and came out two runs ahead winning the championship. I can't say enough about how impressed I was with Mark's baseball coach who devoted more time than most to the boys and practicing hard with them and it definitely paid off.
The team lined up to receive their trophies.

The whole team at home plate.  I'm actually a little sad baseball season is over but what a great ending! (Mark's on his knee in the shadows on the right.)
    And let me just share my latest dream..... new patio furniture :-)
This was at Costco and a dream it will always be at that price. ($2499.99)
Or this one...
Again, too expensive but it sure is nice!
     So that's our week in a nutshell.  Next week should prove to be extra adventurous and the whole family is more than excited about it!

Can't wait for you to come to Oregon. Sounds like the Coast is going to see you way more than me, though. Great pictures and blog. Thanks for posting.
