Our Saturday

I call it "our" Saturday

because it's the first Saturday

Rhett didn't have to go to work

Since we moved to Salt Lake.

I call it "ours"

Because we were able to spend

the WHOLE day together as a family

doing things we wanted to do

And what a perfect day it was, too.

The day started with Porter's first soccer game

(even though we are three weeks into the season

the first two games got rained/snowed out)

Porter played well

and was so excited to finally get to play a game.

His team is the Big T-Rexes...

Afterwards, we spent some time at Grandma Hunt's

where we finally had our Easter Egg hunt -

Now that everyone was well and could be there.

Andrew was so funny once he had all his eggs

He laid them all out,

then opened them one by one

Everytime amazed and suprised to see

that each one was filled with candy.

We then did something we haven't done in a long time -

the boys played baseball.

We all had a blast -

The boys loved hitting and running the bases

Rhett loved hopping the small fence and chasing after the balls

And I loved watching.

The boys hit so well -

even Andrew

He hits as well as the other boys -

for only being 2 1/2.

Andrew would hit and go straight to 2nd base

(because he likes the number 2).

Porter and Zach would hit,

then try to make it all the way around the bases

before Rhett would try and tag them out.

Once the boys had their fill,

we headed home so Rhett and I could get ready

for a date...

We dropped the boys off

to play with their cousins

and enjoyed a wonderful BBQ dinner at Famous Dave's

then saw the movie Knowing...

Good movie but very interesting ending...

(I'll leave it at that)

This week starts a new "era" for us

Rhett left this morning for Vernal

and will be there til Thursday.

I feel like we just got him back

and now he's gone again.

The good part is he will get Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays off.

Zach's grounded to his room this week

for hitting his brothers,

again and again...

Any ideas on how to get him to stop?

I feel like I've tried everything

And the only thing I have left is to keep him in his room

where he's not around anyone to hit...

I hate to have to come to that

but I'm seriously at my wits end...
