The Manti Pageant

Just a week and a half before Ashton was born, we went to the Manti Pageant with our ward. On the way there, we missed a turn and ended up headed toward Denver--it would have been a fun trip, but a little far to go being nine months pregnant. So, we called onstar and figured out where we went wrong.

Then, we went through a session at the temple and had a late lunch at the park before we headed to the pageant.

Damon was fasninated with the cast members and maybe some of them scared him a little bit.

As usual, I was awed at the beauty of the Temple on the hill.                            It got pretty chilly, so daddy

had to keep Damon warm.

T-Ball

Damon had his first experience with city sports this spring. He was a member of the "Black Bandits" T-Ball team. They had a lot of fun and learned some of the basics such as run to first base when you hit the ball, when in doubt throw the ball to first or home, and try, try, try to stay in your assigned spot and don't lay down in the middle of a play...

Damon's first hit!

We still have to work on his skills, but boy can he run the bases!
