Happy Birthday Preston!

Preston James Wood was born April 29, 1988 at approximately 7:00 p.m. Today, 22 years later, he has become a wonderful young man.

He loves sports of all kinds - as a participant, spectator or coach. He honors his Priesthood. He loves his family and is a good example. He was once a "thumb sucker". He has beautiful blue eyes. He loved John Wayne movies when he was young. He is an Eagle Scout. He is a "good" eater. He has a contagious laugh. He is stubborn. He has a bit of a temper at times. He was a great missionary. We are blessed to have him as our son!

Happy Birthday Preston!

The Traveling Wood Family

Last weekend was spent in Ephraim, Utah. We took a field trip to Spring City - a nice little town over the hill from Ephraim. You can't see it unless you drive to it. The story according to Evan is that when the saints settled in Manti/Ephraim, and were practicing polygamy, Spring City was settled as a place to hide their polygamist lifestyle from the "feds". Now it's an "artsy fartsy" little town.

This weekend we are off to the booming metropolis of Rangely, Colorado, which is about 50 miles east and south of Vernal. The Bruins will be taking on the Spartens of CNCC (Colorado Northwest Community College). It should be a sweep for the #1 Bruins who currenlty have a 48-3 record and CNCC is just the opposite at 4-35.

Next weekend, we will be in town!! The team hasn't played on their home field since March 26th. It will be a great weekend. On Friday, Meranda will be recognized as a NJCAA Academic All-American and it is the "Swing-for-Life" game. Saturday is Sophomore Day and the sophomores will be honored at the game. Oh - and Meranda will be getting her Associates Degree on Friday. The coach "strongly"encouraged them to walk - so there are 8 softball players that followed her advice.

The next weekend is the Region Tournament at SLCC and if they win it's off to St. George for Nationals the next weekend!!

It's been a while.....

It's been a while for a post. I don't know if it's because we are busy or boring or something else.

This weekend we are off to our last "softball" trip to Las Vegas/Henderson! We have discovered places to stay that make you feel like you really aren't there. We have been there many times and have stayed in some pretty yucky places! We have been there in the heat of the summer and in the dead of the winter. This weekend it is supposed to be 80 degrees - can't wait. Last weekend we were in Twin Falls in freezing/windy/snowy weather - frostbite to heatstroke.

Life doesn't get much better!
