Pinewood Derby





After the baseball game we ran to the Pinewood Derby. Jacob and Kevin worked on his car in the little time in between school, baseball practices and games. We were surprised that his car did so well. He raced 4 times and won one and came in second all the other races. We seem to get better with each kid we have. I told Kevin too bad we didn't have another kid because by the time we got to that kid we could win the whole thing ha ha . I am not a fan of scouts ( Pack meetings are THE worst because parents just let their kids run wild and it makes me insane!!!!!!) and with the sports schedule it is hard to make it every week , but this was a fun night and Jacob loved making the car and racing it.

This week in Baseball






We snuck in a game last night before the storm hit. We won 10-0. Jake pitched and did an amazing job! It took him a little bit to get warmed up and in the first inning had bases loaded so we were getting worried, then he kicked in and started striking them all out and the rest is history! Our team is undefeated. We will see on Saturday if we can keep up the winning streak!
Also, Jacob had to have one of those necklaces the players wear, he thinks it makes him play better, I guess it worked last night! :)

Lilacs



I am so happy to have a few blooms this year on my lilac tree! So exciting! I seem to only get them every other year.

An E mail from Peru

Every Monday morning I go check my inbox even though I know he hasn't emailed quite yet...you never know. Today I was surprised to get an e mail from a sweet lady in Peru, it made me cry. I will post the Spanish in case you speak it and then Kevin helped me translate it for those who don't , like me!
So proud of my missionary! I know that in 4 months they will be missing him in Peru almost as much as we miss him here now.

Hermana buenos dias, soy la hermana Almendra del Barrio Campoy- Peru, en mi barrio esta su hijo el elder sheridan y medio su correo para poder escribirle y sabe es un joven bastante especial y muy divertido, la verdad es una bendicion tenerlo en nuestro barrio, trabaja duro en la obra de nuestro padre celestial, y por ello debo felicitarla ya que usted es la que educo y formo al joven que ahora es un instrumento en las manos de nuestro Dios.
Bueno hermana fue un gusto poder saludarla.

Good morning sister, I am sister Almendra from the Campoy Ward-Peru District, your son Elder Sheridan is working in my ward. Through your e mail I am able to write to let you know that he is a very special and fun young man. The truth is that it is a blessing to have him in our ward. He works hard in the work of our Heavenly Father and for this I should congratulate you because it is you that taught him and formed him into the young man he is today as an instrument in God's hands.
Well sister it was a joy to be able to send this. Have a great day.

Happy Easter

Coloring eggs

You can tell Maddi isn't home, no Princess eggs!


Maddi on Easter morning at her apartment in her new Easter dress.

What says Easter more than a giant chocolate football????

Handsome boys

Wow, down to 2 easter baskets to find this morning!!! (We gave Maddi hers when we were in St. George.) It was a beautiful day to be with family, attend church and learn about and celebrate the resurrection, the real reason for Easter.
(watch the video!)


How grateful we should be for the Atonement of Jesus Christ! Happy Easter!!!

We are all on a chocolate high and everyone is ready to head back to school tomorrow. So sad Spring Break is over and done. Bring on Summer!!!!!
