Ryne the boy is 12

SO BARE WITH US ON THIS POST, FOR SOME REASON WE COULD NOT MOVE THE PICTURES AROUND. ANYWAY. FEBRUARY 1 WAS RYNES 12THE BIRTHDAY. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS NOW A "YOUNG" MAN. HE WANTED A WEEKEND OF BASEBALL FOR HIS BIRTHDAY, SO WE WERE HAPPY TO OBLIGE. FRIDAY HE HAD ABOUT 8 OF HIS BEST FRIENDS OVER TO THE HOUSE TO PLAY FOOTBALL AND THEN GO TO THE COLLEGE OF SOUTHERN NEVADAS BASEBALL. THEY ALL HAVE BOY CRUSHES ON A PLAYER FOR THE COYOTES, BRYCE HARPER, WHO IS PROJECTED TO BE THE FIRST PICK IN THE NEXT BASEBALL DRAFT. HE IS LDS AND RYNE AND A FRIEND, JADEN GOT TO HANG OUT WITH HIM A BASEBALL CAMP. HE IS REALLY COOL. SO WE WENT TO THE GAME AND THERE WERE 2500 PEOPLE THERE AND ABOUT 200 SCOUTS. IT WAS AN AMAZING ATMOSPHERE. SATURDAY RYNE GOT TO PLAY BASEBALL HIMSELF THE PICTURES ARE FROM ANOTHER RECENT TOURNEY, BIUT HE LOVES TO PLAY AND WILL PLAY ANY TIME ANY PLACE. HE HAD FUN. SATURDAY NIGHT WE WENT WITH FAMILY TO THE RAIN FORREST CAFE AT MGM. HE HAD A GREAT BIRTHDAY DINNER AND THEN HE AND HIS AUNT JENNY WENT ACROSS THE STRIP AND ROAD THE NEW YORK NEW YORK ROLLER COASTER. HE SAYS IT WAS AWESOME. SUNDAY WE WOKE UP AND HAD PANCAKES FOR HIS BIRTHDAY DINNER. RYNE GOT A BASEBALL BAT, 2 PAIRS OF TURF SHOES AND A CUP AND SLIDING PANTS. HE IS SO EASY TO BUY FOR. RYNE IS A GREAT KID AND BRINGS ALLOT OF NEEDED JOY TO OUR LIVES. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS AS BRAGGING, BUT FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS HE HAS BEEN PLAYING BALL WITH KIDS 1-2 YEARS OLDER AND HAS BEEN MORE THAN HOLDING HIS OWN. HE IS THE BEST SHORTSTOP IN AGE GROUP IN SOUTHERN NEVADA. WE ARE SO PROUD. NEXT SUNDAY HE IS ADVANCING TO THE AARONIC PRIESTHOOD AS HE IS ORDAINED A DEACON. HE HAS ASKED GRANDPA TO CONFIRM AS GRANDPA HAS NOT HAD THE CHANCE TO ORDAIN A SON. DAD WILL STAND IN AS WILL RYNES UNCLES AND OUR CLOSEST FRIENDS.

OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS WE WILL BE VERY BUSY. RYNE IS ORDAINED NEXT WEEK. WE START LITTLE LEAGUE NEXT TUESDAY AND THEN WE GO TO LAKE HAVASU FOR A TOURNEY THE NEXT WEEK. OPENING DAY FOR LITTLE LEAGUE AND DAD AND TODD REAM HAVE SECURED THE COLLEGE STADIUM TO HAVE OPENING DAY AT. DAD GETS TO BE THE PA ANNOUNCER, A DREAM OF HIS. SHOULD BE FUN AND SHOULD BE BUSY. RYAN RICHARD ERIC AND THEIR COUSIN CODY ARE PLAYING SOFTBALL ON FRIDAY NIGHT AT BIG LEAGUE DREAM, THEY PLAYED AT FENWAY PARK LAST NIGHT AND THEY HAD FUN. HANGING OUT WITH FAMILY IS SO MUCH FUN.
