Our little Fitzgerlad

Keaton FINALLY got his chance to play football (to his dismay it was flag football) but for their age and it being his first time it was ok. The team was the usual group of buddies (which we love playing with, they are such a good fun group of kids). Chuck and Tony coached the team. They had a great season and learned a lot. It was so fun to see the improvement from the beginning through the end. Keaton is quick. We never get bored watching him and are sometimes perplexed at where he got his talent and competitive drive from. The kid is just plain passionate about playing sports, and football especially! I look forward to watching him play for a long time! At the end of the season he and his best buddy Jake were actually scouted out to play on a competitive team. Man you would have thought they got drafted into the NFL, they were so excited. Unfortunately after a couple practices their dream was crushed due to the fact that there were a lack of teams in their age group to compete against. Im sure it won't be the last opportunity. These boys have talent.

Conference Camping and Easter

We have been doing the conference camping thing for so long now I feel like I am being repetitive when I journal about. It is sometimes hard to differentiate between trips. This one was a little easier considering it actually fell on Easter weekend.
We did some Easter egg coloring, an Easter egg hunt, rode quads, did some hiking, played games, watched a movie on the big screen around the fire, we had our big group Saturday night dinner (which I think was my favorite so far). Chalee's dad cooked a brisket and it was soooo good. The boys went to Priesthood meeting (mine looking a little questionable but I guess I should be happy they went!!) Of coarse our favorite part is enjoying conference and the messages being shared. Saturdays sessions were my particular favorites. I love looking around the big white tent and seeing so many friends (families) together and listening so intently. The other awesome part is how much the kids love it. They play from early in the morning till late at night and have such a blast together! These are memories I hope they cherish forever.
the kids seemed to really enjoy coloring eggs and a few adults got into not mentioning any names

Just plain silly!!THE GROUP!!
LIFE IS SHORT, BREAK THE RULES, FORGIVE QUICKLY,
KISS SLOWLY, LOVE TRULY, LAUGH UNCONTROLLABLY,

AND NEVER REGRET ANYTHING THAT MADE YOU SMILE!!
