Adoption - round 2

Hi Everyone - we have had our application approved for a second adoption through LDS Family Services. So if you come across anyone in that situation, think of Blake, Lorena and Angela. We would welcome a child with open arms and Angela will make an amazing big sister.

Jump, Jump, Jump

This has been a very busy summer, but occasionally we have found ourselves at Blake's sister's house where there is a trampoline. Angela loves to play on it and jump, jump, jump. She seems to be concentrating on her motor skills and developing her jumping skills. Every where she goes she jumps and says, "jump, jump, jump" while she's at it. And of course we have to do it with her too. She's not afraid to tell us what she wants us to do and expects us to do it... sometimes all we can do is laugh, other times, we have to remind her we are the parents... not sure that is working though.

Bees Baseball Game

A couple weeks ago we got to go to the Bees baseball game. Blake's company has season passes to a suite there so we go to hang out, eat some food and enjoy the game. The game wasn't all that exciting. After 3 1/2 hours they were just barely reaching the 7th inning stretch. Yep, the pitching was pretty bad. But the view from the suite was pretty amazing. There was a great storm that night, the lightning was all around, but not where we were, we could see the strikes all over the valley, some were amazing. Then the Bees mascot, Bumble came around, Angela had some fun seeing him. It was pretty funny, toward the end of the game, she started going in and out of the door that led to the seats outside and pretending to be a rooster. That's right - a rooster! She would say "cock-a-doodle-do" in a really loud high pitched voice. It was so funny. I guess that is what sugar and a lack of sleep does.
