Baseball Season Comes to an End

Carlos played baseball another season. His second time. He is learning and had the best coach this year. Coach Roberts is a seminary teacher at Poky and made this a great learning and fun time for Carlos.

Carlos up to bat. Going for a bunt.

Carlos batting.

Taking one for the team.

Running the bases. Carlos was really good at this. His team took 2nd place but unfortunately we were on vacation in Cancun and San Diego so he was not able to play in the Championship game. We were really bummed but excited for the team. He still received a trophy because he did play in a few tournament games. Next season he will know that much more. Go Carlos!

Sold Home and New Home

We SOLD our home on 4943 Rose St and bought a new home on 777 Leonidas St. After 3X trying to sell we finally did it. We are so excited but also sad to leave our second home of almost 11 years.

Garage is empty and all are helping to get the house clean and sparkly for new owners.

Empty storage room. I will miss this room and wanting this room to be at the new home. In time.

Empty family room

Carson's empty room

The new kitchen. More pictures to follow after we are in the home and functioning after some trips that have been planed for Michaela and the family.

Gem State Soccer Tournament

Carson and his last soccer tournament for the spring season. Gem State Tournament. This was by far a fun year filled with injury and fun! We went to many tournaments and played some very skilled teams. The team is getting better and better every season.

Filing out for the start of a game.

The line up and thanking those who came to support PVSC U-15 team in Boise, Idaho.

The prayer before a game to protect and play well. Sam Francisco offers the prayer, "Saint Francis".

Carson working hard and then.......

Carson was injured pretty bad at his third game. The doctor held his neck for about 30-45 minutes until the ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital. They would not let us take him afraid he could become paralyzed.

On the stretcher and in pain.

In pain and not moving an inch in fear he could become paralyzed.

The ambulance which I road in with Carson to the hospital. The CAT scan came back okay and the doctor released Carson that night to play in the morning. It was so scary and the most expensive soccer tournament ever.

Here Carson with his medical bracelet on just in case.

A longer prayer to thank and protect each player.

He is moving great but extremely sore.

Here Carson is with a slide tackle. This year Carson learned to play many new positions and grew leaps and bounds this year with a new coach and a stronger muscular body. We did not earn a birth in regionals but they sure played well.

Carlos....Attendance Perfection Award

There is an incentive for all 5th graders in Pocatello to not miss one day of school from Phil Meador Toyota. They receive a bike at a special ceremony. Carlos did not miss one day of school and is so excited to have a very nice bike.

Here he is before ceremony.

Getting certificate from Jason Meador.

The group from Ellis who received a bike for Perfect Attendance all year long.

A close up of Carlos and his excitement.

With his new bike! Yeah he did it. On the last 3 days of school he actually got a 24 hour bug but lucky it started Saturday and he was ready to go to school Monday.
